the results of so called referendums, held in for russian occupied regions. moscow installed officials say between 87 and 99 per cent of residence, voted yes to being annexed into the russian federation. some of the separate his leaders have already formerly requested incorporation, ukraine's president his bow to defend all his countries territory and force russia out of the occupied zones of clothes and denette. as the results of the so called referendum came in for the russian backed authorities, it was a day they'd been waiting for for years. visited of them good only with dreaming about basing 2014. and then we were making history 30. and that's what this is. in him, up to day, we live in historic days where we are re uniting without big them of the land. mostly what we've great russia, really gay, or se, according to officials in the 4 occupied regions and overwhelming majority of votes

were cast in favor of russian annexation with a high turn out. but ukrainians, who recently fled those areas tell a very different story. also said that was the results were nicely drawn up on paper, but in reality, people didn't photographic on the turn out, wasn't that large. those people are very much opposed to the referendum. no one wants to join russia. no one's not. this comes in with that with this pressure. people are scared to hobble. yes, cognition, i mean, but i saw members of the voting commission filling and ballads themselves while sitting in their cars. i thought with my own eyes, they did the same in their voting districts in them, but i know my relatives, my friends sicily, no one voted in a he still in the hollow salon. what the clear with her this is what the referendum is. is this what free will is walking around with assault rifles and making others

sign ballots. so key than it's western allies have denounced the referendums as a legal and illegitimate say forced out on you that is forcing the occupied territories cannot even be called an imitation of a referendum. when you, we will act to protect top people in the hassan region. in these upper region region in dumbass, emmy currently occupied areas of the hockey region funding crimea. if cromwell, the u. s. is un representative said washington would ask the un security council to condemn the vote solution where the resolution ordering russia to withdraw from ukraine am referenda cause. but with moscow having a veto on the council, there's no chance of the resolution passing to look at it with the sham votes out of the way. now it's up to president putin just how foster he wants to complete the final step you on the lead annexing the occupied territories,

an escalating his 7 month old war. once again, d, w correspondent, economy is in the ukrainian capital cube. he told us about the pressure that was put on people in the occupied areas to boat in favor. joining russia, we've seen those digital social media of polling officials walking around kind of residential districts knocking on doors, often accompanied by armed soldiers. trying to drum up some kind of interest, some kind of participation in these events. i eat. obviously the message from here has been clear all the time that ukrainians should. we caught these pseudo referenda that they should stay at home or even voting let alone participating in the organization of these votes comes with the potential prison sentence here under ukrainian law. so there's definitely a sense that people were being forced to the ballot and picky people who are dependent on the state, teacher's civil servants, police or other kind of emergency service personnel have all reported being forced

to turn up by their bosses at pain of losing your bonuses or wages as if he said to these people not only are having to vote and vote the way that they're expected to, but also are being encouraged and pressured into taking russian. possibles ok, so coercion, there in these and in these referendums, has russia effectively pushed forward the red line with these so called referendums, neck for defending what it sees as its territory with nuclear weapons? less definitely the threat coming from oscar. now whether or not that's a bluff or not, we still can't tell. it's very dangerous bluff to test. but definitely hiring officials, people like to meet that video of the former president, are basically making it very clear that russia would be willing to use nuclear weapons to defend its territory and with its territory. he also means these regions that are look, set to be annexed within the next couple of days. and i think looking more more broadly this, this does seem like

a sign of weakness from russia. russia is losing on the battlefield, those western weapons. i'm a huge difference to ukraine, is military. we had that big offensive in the hockey. now other parts front lines looking pretty difficult for the russian. so escalating with this threat of nuclear retaliation is not really a cited strength, but a sign of weakness. tell us more about what's happening, nick on the battlefield right now. i understand there is a major push by ukrainian forces to capture recapture another city stephanie, we're seeing a lot of great activity around civilly man. that's been the northwestern part of dumbass lou haskell region. and in the summer, if you remember, that was basically where all the action was, where russia invested a huge number of lives lost and kicked, to lost in winning the gist of it, of nets and its surroundings. and now it seems like ukraine is encircling some of the russian forces there from 2 directions, leaving the option of either giving themselves up as prisoners of war or of retreating from that part of front lines. but i think it's really important to bear

in mind that all through this campaign, especially the last few months, all the experts, all the analysts have been wrong footed by what ukraine's military has done all in the summer. we have all the attention, all the publicity was about her song on the south. then in the end we saw all the activity in a place where no one expected it near had give. so that could happen again here. and all the information we get from the front lines normally takes 23 days to kind of trickle through one. that is definitely the case that you often even through janice, working those areas. the rust troops, not sure where you think they are in place, where we've been reporting and thought we were surround by ukraine. troops turned out to be still pretty contested. heavily contest and dangerous parts. the front lines could definitely sense that ukrainian forces are trying to kind of push their momentum and take advantage of russian weakness until these, you know, hundreds of thousands of minority mobilized russian troops that arriving in the front lines. nick, thank you very much. our correspondent nick currently there in keith. while recent rushes military has called up over 300000 reserve soldiers for duty in its war against ukraine, but almost 2 thirds, as many people have or as many people have left the country. countries bordering

russia report almost 200000 russian nationals have crossed since the mobilization was declared. others are staying and protesting despite the risk. ah no to warn the shout. hundreds of demons streeter stick to the seats of moscow to protest. hooton's mobilization. authorities arrested many of them no longer among them was mikhail, a 29 year old musician and bought gusto. but he thought he says he spent 6 hours in custody with lou, during which the police tried to force him to sign a draft notice yet, but a shoulder walk on. i was taken into another room though. when you merced men, the 2 police officers and other 2 were in plain clothes. they locked the door from the inside and they began telling me that i was nobody. they humiliated me shove me

around and even kicked me. i had to endure it all in the end i made out without signing anything. by now i'll just have to wait and see what happens. are all oh here. what buckeye. as a dash of it and dash, since his detention mc has been staying with a friend, he hardly goes out to white police. he could be called up for the mobilization because he has completed his military service. but he says he has been against the war from the very beginning. the afternoon kirk or you all, there is no way that i will be drafted. that is all. i would rather go to a penal colony, then go to warn, you shall know angle. just as military has reportedly suffered, heavy losses in ukraine, moscow hoops fresh troops will change its war tunes. officially 300000 expedient. soldiers have been called up, but critics say the draft is considerably more universal and more arbitrary,

particularly, and provincial regions. men without basic military training alfredo being sent to fight like this warehouse worker or his galoshes. they say to us just go are but they don't care whether we come back some day. we're just cannon fodder. the goal of this mobilization is to stock up on cannon fodder, and wind with quantity. since the quality isn't there yet, orchards broadcast and we have in moscow says he doesn't want to flee abroad, even if it's risky, staying in russia, it several days. olivia prosper. i can sensing something inside me a sense that i don't like what's going on here. and i want to defend myself, or i think there's still hope, but he has them on. but if no one stays in russia by then, no one could face up to 15 years behind loss for doing so.

european union leaders say sabotage is responsible for leaks on the north stream pipelines that are sending plumes of gas into the baltic sea scientists recorded under c explosions round the lines connecting russia and germany. there are though, there are no claims of responsibility. poland says the leaks marked an escalation in the war on ukraine. a kremlin spokesman said it would be stupid, absurd to blame russia for the attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea. afterward, the eas, top diplomat, joseph burrell. say's is a likely ox of sabotage. b to an old stream pipelines linked russia and germany. 3 red dots marked the places where the leaks were detected. even though the pipelines are not currently delivering rushing gas to europe. they're still full of fuel. up to 100000000 cubic meters of gas, a spewing from the pipelines every hour,

with no way of closing them. the leaks could continue until the pipes are empty. european leaders say they're fairly certain about the calls of the leaks. oh, that sounds good. we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case of sabotage, the also to landfill, a gall met sabotage. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just knew jay's future yet no option can be ruled out. right now it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline. so we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reason for this evening to before the results of the official investigation. we're doing these creatures quicker to read in. the e. u has 5 retaliation for any attack on the energy network. the leaks are

expected to last for at least in the week. and only then can investigations begin. earlier we spoke to tor, yvonne worman from the royal norwegian navy academy. i asked him if there was any evidence of sabotage on the north stream pipelines through all the distance between the leagues and the other explosions near the end in the pipeline. and so on. both indicates that this is not a accident. this is something which was planned and, and conducted by humans in order to destruct the dose black lance. now this happened in the baltic sea, not far from the island of bon home, is quite a bit of traffic out there, maritime traffic. how difficult would it be to carry out such attacks in those locations without being detected? actually if l. e, z or seduce, expose the could have been placed there, weeks in monster, even yes and beforehand and

a ship could. it's just stopped over dna position or maybe 3 months ago and sent out a remote operated vehicle. i mean a submarine a, something placed those, expose it and left. so were later they could designate the dosage losses by grade was emo or by time ingle on the order means. so it's fairly easy to converse such an operation. is there any indication as to who might be behind the attacks if that's what they were? i would not say indications, but it's highly likely, in my opinion, that it's russia and basically for 2 reasons. one as that, that is a way to, to make sure that they kind of be pressured in a way to deliver, i guess, to not stream to germany. again, they have obligations, legal obligations to provide guess they have no stop providing that guy to

1st say that says to help us to delay in maintenance office on a bench and pump systems down from august on with reference to maintenance of the gas lines. and now they have been destroyed, so they cannot deliver it, which makes them look innocent, but still, and they are behind it. and they don't say that they are using energy as a weapon, but they are really doing it. and everyone knows. but as long as they don't say it disguise is what they are actually doing when they also they are the other part of it is the a great power competition and a great strategic point, though it last, russia only had to really pull up and choose to influence it and it was negotiation position versus the west bus to grant and so on. at the dos off and

it's paula which fade to a large degree on its energy. oh. sorry about that. yeah. sorry, sorry. yeah, i just, we don't have that much time. i just wanted to ask you how the investigators will go about determining what happened to those pipelines and how long do you think that might take it's very hard to say. obviously they will do an investigation. most likely the police are doing when we have a telephone or something out on shore and they will try to find the remnants of explosives and the order sign off what's going on, don't dare, and conduct an investigation. it probably now is to actually get access, considering that the state a very dangerous operation on area with all the gas coming out. it's got this, daniel, so humans as ships can actually sink if they get gas in the water mass between been

benefit dead to the last day of an explosion. first, that has to isolated the incident. stop the gas leak and down to come to go down and start investigating and proper. ok, a dangerous complex situation commander tor, eva, storm and of the royal norwegian naval academy. thanks for talking with us. no problem is look at some other news from around the world. south korea says john yang hes fired to short range ballistic missiles on pits east coast. on the eve of us, vice president cumberland harris is trip to sol. the reported launch comes days after south korea and the united states began staging. joint military drills off. the korean financial is east coast palestinian officials say at least 4 people have been killed during an israeli raid in the occupied westbank. israel's army only confirmed the deaths of 2 palestinians who they say were suspected of carrying out

ah, iran is rebelling, but some iranians, i stuck on the sidelines, wormshire mercer, it could have been me, and mazda may needs place with them, but i'd have similar experiences in iraq when i went the practice at the university . honest, the morality police mistreated me in the same way. it's about a man, paris, if i cd and costs for our metty porn jobs, our professional taekwondo athletes originally from iran, they fled the regime 3 years ago. the internet is what connects them to family and friends, but the regime blacked out internet connections last week. now messages don't reach home. i'm a whole year or 2 in a somewhat southern bahama when i was lost in touch with my sister. she told me that my family took to the streets this fighting for freedom. the police beat up my sister, her hands were bleeding. i'm so worried for a shady,

one second place in taekwondo at the 2010 asian games. but now she and partner made the point to john are so consumed by any news that slips out of iran. that not even sports takes their mind off of things in berlin, for shady trains, kids in taekwondo, but doesn't want to upset them. that little man, i just told the kids to practice that a lot is happening in iran. i didn't want to go into details to get some letters from was what remains for them. are demonstrations, the refugees join in germany and social media. oh man, photo, they're all found out. my follow isn't just from a wrong think they're international. i'm glad that full the 1st time the world is hearing app please for freedom which holl, i'm kid quillen doing you and i have anymore. so the more that is because for them the fight against the regime in iran just went into another round the u.

levels at the zombie station. people can hop on for a cheap 20 minute ride. the idea is this. there has been a pandora virus outbreak, unleashing the walking dead. the knock, they feast soldiers with fake rifles help, passengers get to 50. and the safest place to be is on the train. this game is all around 20 minute. a dealt by me on a, along by the that the minute if and on the, if you are not planning, most of the people usually panic at the plus time of trouble thought. all right, got it. one minute we got the he just came in and came out. critics say just a cool show will not be enough to we in jakarta has residence of their bikes and cars. but for now,
