ah ah ah ah, this is dw news alive from berlin, russia declares victory, and it's so called referendums. officials installed by moscow claim up to 99 percent of voters and occupied ukrainian regions. want to join you, russia, ukraine and its allies reject the result. b,

european union is about to announce fresh sanctions against russia. also coming up, european leaders, blame, sabotaged for 3 leaks, and on the war to pipelines, spewing gas into the baltic. sea scientist detected explosions along the effective north supreme pipeline. moscow says it's not to blame and also want answers. and iranian athletes abroad worried about the deadly crack down on protesters back home are desperate for news from a country under an information blackout. ah, around gal elfaire and we have some breaking news. the european union is about to announce a new tightening of sanctions against russia. commission president over the phone, the line is speaking. and now let's listening annexation in ukraine. and we're

determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so today, we're together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. the 1st part concerns the listing of individuals and entities that will be presented by the age of the features that barrel in a moment. i want to focus on the 2nd part of distinctions that will further restrict trade by that we isolate and it rush us economy even more. so we propose sweeping new import bands on russian products. this will keep russian products out of the european market and deprive russia of an additional 7000000000 euros in revenues. were also proposing to extend the list of products that cannot be exported to russia anymore. the amos here to deprive

the kremlin military complex of key technologies. for example, this includes additional association items or electronic components and specific chemical substances. these new export bands will additionally we can rush us economic basis and will weaken its capacity to modernize. we will also propose additional bands on providing your pin services to russia and a prohibition of your nationals to sit on governing bodies of russian state owned enterprises. russia should not to benefit from european knowledge and expertise. the search conflicts is concerning russian oil. as you know, russia is using the profits from the sale of fossil fuel to finance. it's war

concerning russian oil. you might recall that we have already agreed to ban seaborne russian crude oil in the european union as of december 5th. but we also know that certain developing countries still need some russian oil supplies, but at low prices. thus, g 7 has agreed in principle to introduce a price cap on russian oils for 3rd countries. this oil price cap will help reduce rushes, revenues on one hand, and it will keep the global market for energy stable on the other hand. so today in this package here, we're laying the legal basis for this oil price cap. and my last point i want to focus on is our efforts that we are stepping up to crack down on. so

convention of sanctions here we are adding a new category. in this category we will be able to list individuals if they circumvent our sanctions. so for example, if they buy goods in the european union, bring them to 3rd countries and then to russia. this would be a convention of our sanctions and those individuals could be listed. i think this will have a major deterrent effect on sanctions. have him put in system heart, they have made it more difficult for him to sustain the warmth and we are increasing our efforts here and moving forward with that. i would like to give the floor to you. jeff. thank you my the president. good afternoon. with the illegal referenda, organized by russia, they grimly missed following this same blade book that we have already seen in

georgia in 2008, the name gray mia and 2014 as it. but i did, it has said that we've gone them in the stronger possible turn, and i am sure i can speak on behalf of the member stage of the union that no, no of them will break on lies this fallacy fi outcome. and we called to the international community to do this saying, because this is shambria for end of is a bureau violation of information the law under principles of united nations chart . we will continue supporting you grain. we're stay on course. our strategy is working our sentence and having that compelling effect, as the president has explained, with the extension of the least of products that will be banned from expert to

russia. we will continue weakening the military capabilities. also from the personal point of view, we are increasing the listing of persons and entities which has been sanctions. they are more than 1300 people or entities. these least targets key decision makers, all the got senior military officials and perfect and this responsible for undermining to ukraine territorial integrity in direct response to the late this russia escalation escalation, for example, to calling 300000. so this to the war we propose to adopt additional which is measures against those individuals who are supporting, facilitating,

or benefiting from the invasion of ukraine. allow me my president to summarize the new package of the reasonable designations. they will target the following people. first, those involve in russia patient and illegal, an exception of areas of grain we propose to designate the proxy russian authorities in don, this person and shepherd and other russian individuals who organize it facilitated the shambria foot. and in these 4 by territories of a great 2nd, we propose a number of dizzy nations into defend sector. daisy goods, high ranking official, the russian minister of defense. those who support the russian forces by providing army equipment and weapons, including me, sides,

and fight aircraft, participate of the recruitment of these 300000 saudis. 3, we also continue to target actors who was spread this information about the war. in particular, those spreading false information and donating funds to the russian paid areas in the category of economic actors. a lot has been done already, but we will add further key operators. and among these paraders, it will be people for not necessarily russians, but people prefer dc based on the sort of convention of sanctions. because it's clear that there are some phenomena of city convention of sanctions that has to be included in our listings. we have preparing the listings in order to also

target these people. finally, it's also important to note that we extend the geographical, the scope of the restrictions, applying to great mia to don this new shank that where proof at the beginning of the year. and these will cover all non governmental control areas of the brain including deal blushed or separate asia and curtis and which are not part of the bus. and we are not part of the previous decisions. i think my prejudice that we have as we complete our package of sanctions, sanctions work, centers matter. but they have to be maintained of times and ensure that they are not sure to convent. thank you. that was all love on the line speaking there, and it was a burrell,

the use of foreign policy chief. let's cross over to our brussels bill for example, for nom and to discuss what was just said, alexander, what do you make of his statement?

well i think what's a, what's important here as to stress at that sir,

the european commissioner is sir, living up to its promise to hold those accountable who were responsible for organizing and facilitating the sham referendums. and of course are those are measures would include new listings more and more people to be blacklisted. but i think what is even more important is that your opinion is proposing to further impose curbs on high tech exports. for instance, very important for the russian military that they want also to close loopholes to, to also blacklist to people who would try to circumvent. are there european sanctions? we know, for instance, they, i, phones should not be allowed to be exported to russia. you can still buy them in russia because there are companies, for instance, in causes tunnel or other countries who buy them and then export them to russia so

that the measures today are aimed at making it not possible any more. and as i said, the purpose is, and that is why the european commission is also as suggesting a price cap on russian oil to make sure that vladimir putin and his regime are not profiting from rising energy prices. so that are they, they revenues are not climbing anymore. are birch even brussels or some of her mom is there. thank you very much. alex on this new round of sanctions, of course, triggered by the so called referendums that were held in for regions of ukraine occupied by a russia and the results if you will, are now in officials installed by moscow say between 87 and 99 percent of residents voted yes to being annexed by the russian federation. some separate as leaders have already, formerly requested. incorporation. ukraine's president has bow to defend all his

countries territory, and force russian troops out of the occupied zones. and for more on that, let's bring in the w correspondent, mathias bullying a. he joins us from the ukrainian capital, keith now, but here's what comes next for these regions. yeah, it's quite probable that this annexation process will be started and that which will address both chambers of the russian parliament and just suggest that they incorporate them there. and then there will be a vote. and then from the russian point of view, these regions will be part of russia. and they, what will be the exact administrative, dim denomination is still unclear whether it will be white for regions or 2, or one or 3. but that's what russia is planning to do,

and we don't have any reason to doubt that they will push forward with this. of course, nobody will recognize it. all. most countries of the world will not recognize these regions. there will not be part of russia, according to international law, except maybe for one or 2 countries that we've seen in the past. recognizing, for example, the annexation of crimea, that happens according to the similar pattern. what will happen on the ground than with these, with russia, claiming these territories as part of russia and ukraine and most of the rest of the world. not recognizing them nice to recognizing them as ukrainian territory. in fact, probably in the beginning, not much, but russia. click will claim that its territory has attacked and it might use these as a pretext for a further escalation. we don't know whether it has the means for an escalation, at least, for a conventional escalation at all. so what we're probably going to see is that the war will continue asked, has been continuing for months now. maria,

tell us more about what's happening. her on the battlefield right now. i understand there is a major pushed by ukrainian forces to capture another city. yes sir, the ukrainian forces are about to and, and circle the city of lemon, which is one of the bigger cities in the don boss. and it's been an important, it's been an important strategic city, lies on its way on the way to some my destinations and why she was aiming to take. but there were stopped behind the man. there's a river next to the man which they were not able to cross and now the ukrainians are pushing in from the west, from the north west, from the heart of region, as well as from the south. and it looks as if they were would be able to besieged this place. this would be the 1st siege in this war for the russian troops would be the 1st siege after the siege of where you are, paul. and it's of course,

a situation that's very bad for the russians and it could be one next major victory for ukraine. what would be the consequences of that if it happens, as many people predict now, is unclear, but it could well be another breakthrough for ukraine, which would open the way for further gains in the danbury region in that region that russia has just or is just about to in x did up you corresponded mathias, a billing, other reporting from keith. thank you. mathias european union leaders say leeks and on the north stream gas pipelines were caused by sabotaged scientists, recorded under c explosions. around the lines connecting russia and germany large plumes of garza leaking into the baltic baltic sea. though there are no claims of responsibility. poland says the lexmark than escalation in the war on ukraine. a

kremlin spokesman says it would be stupid and absurd to blame russia, fully attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea. afterward. the eas, top diplomat, joseph burrell. say's is a likely octave sabotaged b t. what nod stream pipelines linked russia and germany, 3 red dots, mac, 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 is 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 cause of the leaks. it says that 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, a sabotage, the assa to landfill, a gall, met sabotage. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just knew jay's creature near them. 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 young man to before the results of the official investigation. we're doing these creatures which broke to renew the e. u has vowed 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 to the us now or the state of florida is bracing for the impact of hurricane ian forecast. to say, ian is strengthened to an extremely dangerous canterbury for storm, as it nears the peninsulas west coast,

florida is very used to having hurricane, so we would hope they would be prepared. a lot of people they, they requested that about 2500000 people should evacuated from the area. i know that there a lot of those people did not evacuate. so i'm hoping that the infrastructure will hold up and that people will be safe. so you say that many, many people do not evacuate. can you tell us, why am won't all they doing to prepare? well people know the drill here and so i know to get their hurricane shutters on, you know, get, get things in the freezer, in case you lose power, but it's difficult to, it's not so easy to evacuate, it can be expensive and some people would rather just stay in their homes, but it's, it can be very unsafe at this point. it's too unsafe to travel and the authorities

have requested that if people have not evacuated this point, that they just stay and shelter in place. it can be quite dangerous though, if you're near a water source. if you're near the gulf of mexico or a river, the meteorologist are expecting storm surge of 12 to 16 feet, which is enormous, and can be quite dangerous. carry bolivar in fort meyers, florida. thank you. very much karen. thank you. to iran now, which has seen a wave of protest now lasting 12 days demonstrations over the death of 22 year old moss armine in police custody. have been met with a violent response from authorities, human rights group say at least 76 people have died in the crackdown is causing concern for iranians around the world. d. w. sports met to iranian athletes. now, living here in germany, they're worried about relatives taking part in the protests.
