ah ah ah ah, this is the w news life from the european union outlines its latest package of sanctions against russia include new trade restrictions and the cap on the price of oil, as well as targeting officials responsible for the sham referendums in easton view . correct. also on the program, russia says it is not to blame for the explosions thought to of course,

the damage to undersea gas pipelines in the baltic sea, moscow's demanding answers. as european leaders say, it was sabotage and hurricane in the back of the west coast of florida. with winds reaching 250 kilometers an hour, millions of people have been ordered to move to safety. ah and phil gale, welcome to the program. the european union has proposed what it calls fighting sanctions against russia, targeting trade, a russia military of the people who organized annexation votes in parts of occupied ukraine. brussel says russia must pay a price for escalating the crisis by holding the sham referendums in you commission president ursula on the line explain the rationale behind the additional measures. 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 70000000000 euros in revenues. were also proposing to extend the list of products that can not be exported to russia anymore. as get law from dw, cherish dida with correspondents, terry schultz in brussels. that welcome a terry. let's start with at the tone of the commission. presidents us speech. she was she was a and fighting mood. that's right. the european commission and ursula of underlying herself, have been threatening for some time to bring forth this 8th package of sanctions against russia. and now this combination of the sham referenda, putin's mobilization of, of more people to fight in ukraine. his is new nuclear or his repeated nuclear

saber rattling, has all really gotten on the nerves, have the european commission. so ursula underline says she wants to make the kremlin pay for what she calls, bringing escalation against ukraine to a new you look to a new level. so talk us through these latest sanctions and how that work. so as you heard, bundle lion mentioned, they want to band the import of some 7000000000 euros more of, of products into the e u. they also really want to try to prevent technology from getting to the russian military, which of course is using it to fight in ukraine. so they're looking again at semiconductors, at other high technology to, to keep it away from the russian military. there's also a pretty interesting development on individuals who would be targeted for sanctions . and that's going to include, for example, people who helped organize these referenda in the for russian occupied regions of ukraine. and there will also be a ban if this, if these measures pass there would also be a ban on e, you citizens sitting on boards of russian national companies. now of course in

germany that will bring up the name of your heart. schroeder, who sits on a lot of these boards under this proposed cap on oil prices hasn't got to work. and this is a very complicated question, phil. and it certainly is in the beginning phases of, of being implemented in the european union. the g 7 has agreed in principle to put a cap on the price that could be paid for russian oil that has not yet been agreed to buy all you countries. and what vonda line is proposing in this package of sanctions is li, the legal framework. so that should all you countries agree to this price cap on oil, that the laws would already be in place. and this is something now that you, investors, what we'll be discussing here at the end of this week. and i spoke to an official tonight who said that perhaps if all goes well, this entire package may be adopted by the time there's that there's a summit next week. thank you for that, terry. doubly correspond to schultz in brussels. well, the results of the so called referendums,

held and fought regions have occupied ukraine, have been released. 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 in cooperation, ukraine's president says he will defend all of his country's territory and force russian troops out of the occupied areas. the plaza, donnie esc. first. the results of the so called referendum came in for the russian backed authorities. it was a day that been waiting for for years, visited us longer than we were dreaming about this in 2014. and then we were making history the way to live. and that's what this is emma. but today we live in historic days where we are re uniting with our big motherland murphy, what we've great russia, really gay or se, according to officials and before occupied regions. and overwhelming majority of roads were cast and fave of russian annexation with a high turnout, but ukrainians,

who recently fled those areas till a very different story. also said that the results were nicely drawn up on paper, but in reality, people didn't fold up a kind of the turn out, wasn't that large? those people are very much opposed to the referendum re. no one wants to join russia. no one novice comes in with that with this pressure people i scared you over. yes. can yes my name, 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, eat them with, i know my relatives, my friends, li, no one vote it you still in the whole us the law. what the clearly for this is what the referendum is. is this what free will is walking around with assault rifles and making others sign ballads. so keith and its western allies have denounced the referendums as illegal and illegitimate say 1st of all and

that is forcing the occupied territories cannot even be called an imitation of a referendum when we will act to protect our people in the her son region. in these upper region region in dumbass, emmy currently occupied areas of the hockey region funding crimea. if campbell, the u. s, said it would ask the you, unsecure to counselor, to condemn the votes with a resolution ordering russia to withdraw from ukraine that condemns these. but with moscow having a veto in the council, there's no chance of the resolution passing with the same votes out of the way it melts up to president putin just how fast he wants to complete the final step. and next in the occupied territories and escalating his 7 month old war. once again, let's take a look at this with belin carrasco rodriguez, who's a senior investigator at the center for information resilience. that's an

organization at combat dis, information. she joins us from london. welcome to the w and looking at the so called a referendums, what, what people told about why they were being held and, and what to do and how the whole thing was organized. well, thank you. feel information about the sham reference has been confused and contradictory at the beginning of the center for information recipients. we have been investigating russian reckoning, occupation for a few months and be referring to have been cold and comfortable for a few time. so you can for me, a inflammation has been very confusing. for example, interest on the referendum had been pulled 1st or the 11th of september, and then it points to the 4th of november. and then last week, referred to what's called again, the shows that the patient ministration says not the real power of their decision making processes. decisions come directly from the crumbling. now regarding the 2nd part of the question, they have been held to change the narrative. i'm super tre,

unexpectedly annexation and ruth cation of these occupied area. unavoidable. so now we say, after that we saw the referendum. what we are going to see if they will claim that the population are now running in need of aggression protection against the drive. and so as these referendums, the so called friends were being held, we saw pictures unverified of soldiers accompanying vote. workers knocking on doors and the whole thing looked quite oppressive. your work has highlighted the ways that ukrainian civilians have been forced to participate in the russian occupation. just give us an idea of what life and russian occupation has been like for people. india, like i'm an ad b shamela friend. the are just the next stage of our company. they should cut the from they want to the invasion. so we have been looking at over $200.00 points of open source evidence that shows that seems to be patient. russia has been

implementing several make any sense to we'll be barley reality, you know, by area we with a proposal and if you see it will be a ministration. but at the same time with a proposal course in enforcing your premium. as soon as you buy there is to corporate, so many pollution both beyond dissolution of both ukrainians, living and occupied areas have been for to corporate directly and indirectly. for example, indirectly these doors to the research that we are seeing now to look for the they refer them both. they have been going on for months to invite people, especially the most frail one, the ones that have more issues, or if they like to like to invite them to to get them russian passports. so if you have like russian soldiers knocking your door, inviting you to get the rush and passports, you have no choice, rather than you just need to get the rest and passport also and you by there you were feeling that from what your supply of seem cards it's very difficult to leave

. if you don't accept occupation, you can't with the business. if you don't have a rush and passports or you kind of get that kind of plate, but he's not a russian number. so it's very difficult. and then we have a direct means of questions like torture, abductions, threats, illegal detention, and quit a word on on how ukraine has been countering russian misinformation. i will say that kit has been very effective as exposing what russia is doing, how russia lying. like be sending 18 huge writing social media, the online phase to show the world with the help of open source and data. what russia really doing, their messages have been effective for the amplified by b. yes. for a they also western media. i don't like to be a very good report and them, i think they just particularly relevant how effective being disseminated messages

towards the morale of the ukrainian re fi, ukrainian a defy in the case of the guiding them very early on in the ending with a former us general david to betray us, and she asked him about ukraine's recent territorial gains on what the consequences would be if russia used nuclear weapons. ukrainians have decisively won the battle of force generation and other words, from the very beginning, they mobilized completely. and now this country of less than a 3rd, the population of russia has a much larger army in the field in ukraine. it is vastly better equipped, of course, $15100000000.00 worth of military hardware and ammunition and assistance from the united states alone and plenty more from our nato allies and other western countries throughout the world. and now they are bringing these new forces and capabilities to bear in a very effective matter on the battlefield. there is nothing that russia can do to

reverse the situation generally that some people say just because of that. and as you just mentioned, because it might be so desperate that it could be likely that he uses nuclear weapons identity. do you think it is likely? and what would it mean? it is certainly a possibility. that possibility has to be taken very seriously. i don't think it is that likely? but again, something so dangerous and horrific does have to be taken seriously. clearly, as jake solomon indicated, we are taking very seriously and more importantly, we're communicating with russia and with the leadership. they are presumably in a general way. what the response would be to obviously deter them to weigh them from taking this decision. if anything, it will unite ukraine even more against russia. it will unite nato even more

against russia. it will result in additional very various toughest sanctions, financial economic personal. this could be the moment where russians finally declared a state sponsor of terror. perhaps even worse, crimes charges are levied against this. i think this takes the gloves off in terms of the western response. a former u. s. general a david patrol speaking river, our washington bureau chief innes poll. european union leader say ruptures to the gnawed stream pipelines were caused by sabotage scientists recorded undersea explosions around the lines connecting russia and germany. large plumes of gas are leaking into the baltic sea. although there are no claims of responsibility, poland says the leaks are marked an escalation in the war on ukraine. a criminal spokesman said it would be stupid and absurd to blame russia for the attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea after what the east top diplomat,

joseph burrell says, is a likely act of sabotaged b 2 at nordstrom 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. european leaders say they're fairly certain about the cause of the leaks 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. they also told an feel gall met sabotage. the e u has vowed retaliation for any attack on the energy network. the leaks are expected to last for at least another week. and only then can investigations begin . let's get into this with under spoke nielson, who's

a military analyst at the royal danish defense college in copenhagen are welcome to the w. so let us presume that this was an attack of the experts and politicians a saying who would benefit from it? well 1st i'd say, i think we have to be aware that this is apparently an attack that very deliberately is designed to look like sabotage, like nobody is trying to hide what is going on. so we have to look for somebody who would be interested in this to, to actually look like a sabotaged attack, but also to not be clearly something that we can attribute to a particular actor. so it, so some said somebody wants us to be discussing this question exactly who, who could be behind this and who would benefit from all these different ideas and theories being thrown around on social media. i think if we look at what has happened so far, we have had more instability on the energy markets in europe. more uncertainty

about gas delivers. and then we have had a lot of people on social media and also politicians discussing who could be behind this and some people in the west blaming each other. some people saying is the coalition people saying is the americans, you know, when i look at this, i would say pretty much only one actor in this whole field actually benefits from these 2 things. and that would be russia. ok. it's interesting that the way you, you framed it, that it's not necessarily the physical damage to the infrastructure itself. it's the uncertainty of about causes and the discussions of that causes and of the volatility in fuel prices. but that causes that all contributes. so let's say it's russia, everyone including russia, is calling for a thorough investigation. and as an interested party under prime suspect, is russia likely to be allowed to be involved in any investigation?

was definitely going to be a tough question right. also because it's, it's a russian or pipeline and could we even do the investigation without the involvement of cost problem, for example. so, so it, to some extent, i guess russia will be involved, but at the same time that will be a lot of suspicion. i'm sure about that, and it's definitely going to be a big question, how we actually going to do that. also, what will this investigation show and who will accept the evidence that is produced by this as as valid? i'm sure that's also something we're going to discuss afterwards. so we will see, it just looks horribly complicated, an investigation into suspected attack on a russian german pipeline in danish waters who's in charge, who is responsible for what? absolutely. it's going to be very complicated, both technically, how do you actually conduct this investigation?

but also you say, all the legal aspects, all the international aspects of it. and i don't have the answers for how, how will this will be sorted out? ok, well that was we will continue to talk about this and add to the uncertainty, but for now a thank you for your expert analysis on this book nielsen from the ro, danish defense college in copenhagen. thank you so much. but we'll take a look at some more news from around the world. now supporters of iraq's influential cleric, i looked at it outside of stormed part of baghdad is heavily fortified to government area. protesters breached the barriers in the capital, greens, and demanding the parliament dissolve. and whole new elections. iraq has been unable to form a government since october went outside and ordered his party to withdraw from negotiations least 9 people have been killed and dozens injured after iran launched

emissions for up to 70 percent research a say it could become the building material of the future. it doesn't look that special, but this concrete house in the german city of dresden is in fact, groundbreaking. it's the 1st building made entirely from carbon concrete, the walls a thinner than most houses, with a grid of carbon inside and a thin layer of concrete surrounding it. scientists that dress dean's technical university have spent decades developing the new building material, carbone baton dr. food as carbon concrete and shows less material over 50 percent less dusty. both structures made of it last much, much longer than those using reinforced concrete. and ultimately it brings value with it lasting much longer than anything we currently use. this was the moment tune, chemically produced carbon fiber, a turned into building components at a concrete plant in auschwitz near dresden. it's a resource saving process because sand for this production is becoming scarcer and

cement production currently emits high levels of c o. 2 carbon has another advantage, as well as is san aged. it's very light might can be carried by hand and can also because easily which you can't do with steel, reinforced concrete knish can in dresden, the cube made of carbon concrete reveals the new materials potential. it could become a standard in the construction industry, and the scientists here already have their sites on new and bigger projects. or iran's men's national football team is created a social media store by covering up their jerseys as their national anthem played before a match in austria. on monday the team features bonded legal stand out a solder are moos of laver couldn't. he seems to be show support for the women's rights protested of royalties. home country are following the death in police custody of a martha, a meanie who was arrested for not wearing a headscarf. ah,
