you'll find more news on our website, d, w dot com. ah. in a result that surprised exactly no one of florida in russia controlled regions of ukraine if announced a victory in their so called referendums. but they dissolved lugens, cack, hassan, and zap regions. i've now called on president putin to formally annex the ukranian territories into russia. the use response couldn't be clearer, no recognition of those results and more tougher sanctions. i'm fil gale in berlin and this is the day. ah, we do not accept the sham referenda. and any kind of annexation in ukraine, as with the residents of that song, reaching voted for joining russia. and we are determined to make the crime and pay

for this further escalation. russell was that last month i ask you to consider the issue of lou hands. people's republic, that is becoming part of russia, though i see you today. we together proposing a new package of vital functions. again, we're, we're re uniting, without big motherland with a great russia. also on the day financial turmoil in the u. k, triggered by government plans to slash taxes, bring criticism from the international monetary fund, and have the opposition scenting blood. well, the i m f segment is very, very serious, and it comes on the back of what the back of england said early this week. i think for so many people looking at their mortgage payments this morning, worried about whether they can now afford to pay them for prices. they will be not just frustrated,

but angry because the government has lost control of the economy. welcome to the day, the european union says it wants to hit russia with biting new sanctions, targeting trade rushes, military, and the people who organized annexation votes in parts of occupied ukraine. brussels as it was russia to pay a price for, escalating the crisis by holding what they called sham referendums. you commission president, those are the fatherland. explain the rationale behind these additional measures. i phone 8 and it rush us economy even more. so we propose sweeping new important 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. as get more from the w, terry sh, dw correspondence, terry schultz in brussels. that welcome a terry. let's start with at the tone of the commission. presidents as speech she was, she was in 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, his new nuclear or his repeated nuclear saber rattling, has all really gotten on the nerves of 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 you through these latest functions and how that work. so as you heard, underlying mentioned, they want to ban the import of some 7000000000 euros more 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 band if this, if these measures pass. they 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 going 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 by all

e u countries. and what wonder line is proposing in this package of sanctions? is li, the legal framework, so that should all e u countries agree to this price cap on oil that the laws would already be in place? and this is something now that e, u ambassadors, 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 a, there's a summit next week. ok. thank you for that. terry. anti doubly correspond to schultz in brussels. or the results of the so called referendums, held in for regions of ukraine are occupied by russia are in officials in store by moscow say between 87 and 99 percent of residents voted yes to be annexed by the russian federation. some separatist leaders of all ready, formerly requested incorporation, ukraine's president lansky says he will defend all his country's territory and force russian troops out of the occupied regions. applause and don yeske chris. 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. the visited of them we were dreaming about this in 2014. and then we were making history already. and that's what this is. in a book today, we live in historic days, where we are re uniting with our big motherland murphy with great russia, really good se, according to officials and before occupied regions, and overwhelming majority of roads that cast in favor of russian annexation with a high turn out but ukrainians, who recently fled those areas till a very different story will. so select last name 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 and no one wants to join russia. no one novice comes in with that.

with this pressure, people are scared to what will, yes, cognition, and yet, 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. i know my relatives, my friends, will you no one vote it and you don't the whole us the low. what the clear report 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 it's rest of their lives, have denounced the referendums as illegal and illegitimate say 1st of all you 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 san region in these up parisha region in dom boss image currently occupied areas of the hockey region. and in crimea, if cromwell, the u. s, said it would ask the un security council 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's, it's mounts 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. ah, a european union lead, a se ruptures in the north stream pipeline were probably caused by sabotaged scientists, recorded undersea explosions around the lines connecting at russia and germany. and there in the baltic phase, now churning with x k escaping gas. though there have been no claims of responsibility. poland says the leaks mark an escalation in the war on you cried. a kremlin spokesman said it would be stupid and absurd to blame russia for the attack

fuel spilling out into the baltic sea. afterward, the youth top diplomat, joseph burrell, says, is a likely act of sabotage. b 2 at nord 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. european leaders say they're fairly certain about the cause of the leaks. so 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. they also told an feel gall met sabotaged 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

. and while nord stream pipelines, $1.00 and $2.00, and now out of action, there's a conflict brewing over the other major source of europe's gas from russia. this is the transit line through ukraine gas from is threatening to sanction ukraine's state gas company nuff the gas because the ukrainians have been seeking arbitration to make gas problem pay. it's bill for transporting gas through ukraine to central unit. and that could result in gas from halting gas exports to europe through ukraine. just keeps getting worse, doesn't it? alarm a zacko is an advisor to the ukrainian energy ministry and has been an advisor to the c e o. of the ukranian state gas company. she joins us from berlin. thanks for joining us. welcome to the w. this argument has had a much lower profile in the media. is it likely to end in this pipeline being cut

off as well? hello. yeah, definitely did. that's one of the signs that russia is very serious in it, due to actually, i re all this teeth in there. you were again to europe, and they supply now on listed found over the contractual obligation through ukraine . that even the amount i think is very considerable now for neural when it does not have any possibilities of other sources of fresh and get. so actually that the last route to euro glue, the turkish gene, that seats no other way. how to deliver ration. yes. and even though they threaten us with the tension again now,

and actually they can see that the action. so now we're friendly and they want to do that drum in unfriendly jurisdiction patches the switzerland. right? but part of gas problems argument is that ukraine has failed to fulfill its contractual obligations by refusing to allow gas through services controlled the hands. they don't have a point ah, no, because they occupied this controlling point and we lost control on this particular point. and we suggested to red route the yes to another point with this to jack and which is capable to deliver all necessary amount of yes. and actually they can go to arbitration as well. even they see that ukraine does not full sealants obligations, right?

but as, as you say, the, the notion, the idea of arbitration is one that gas from dislikes. and because as you, as does use, as you say, other said it is in an unfriendly jurisdiction. now, it probably comes as news to many of us that russia is still sending gas through ukraine to the west. isn't it in ukraine's interest just to see about wholesale that and another source of russian income removed? i don't think that this is said, the income and source from russia that's about digital human to follow obligations to transport these guess to europe, and we are a reliable partner and with very much cherish our reputation. understood. that's what's indifferent. i understand. i'm chinese subject slightly because i am aware that as well as advising the energy ministry, you're also a ukrainian ambassador. extraordinary. so a word then about these,

these votes that russia has been holding in occupied ukraine, and of course they be inevitable. yes, to russian annexation. what's, what's your response to those? that's just an analogy of sake and don't hold these take a referenda because bad and misuse of the term eraser. and this is not the ref around that and another see and and as a show which was orchestrated by russians and all of us were absolutely aware that about death possible result of these the i've seen in advance. so that's why we were absolutely ready. was this results and we will continue to fight for our territories and for our freedom. thank you so much for spending time and joining us on the w. alanis echo ukrainian ambassador,

extraordinary an advisor to the ukrainian energy ministry. thank you. thank you. ah. plans are by the u. k. government, for huge tax cuts financed by borrowing have drawn strong, international criticism. the international monetary fund issued a rare warning to a major world economy saying the tax cuts may fuel inflation and they're likely to increase economic inequality. plans have already triggered volatility on the market, forcing the bank of england to announce today that it will buy as much government debt as needed to restore order. the government plan announced on friday for deep cuts and the regulations are intended to be 5, a stagnant economy instead of triggered an economic crisis and seem support for the opposition. surging is ahead of the opposition labor party. they've lost control of the economy. now, you know, we all understand when the international issues crises that cause fluctuations in

the market. but that isn't this case. this is a situation where the government has self inflicted harm on our economy and people looking at their mortgages, looking for prices this morning. we'll be worried sick, i think, and i wouldn't be surprised if a little bit angry that the government has lost control of the economy. self inflicted wounds and they're now picking up the bill. a 2nd closer look at this with a phillip in when he's the economics editor of the you case, observe a newspaper and economics writer for the guardian. welcome to d, w. a. past the u. k. new government lost control of the economy. well, it's made some really significant, there's coming to office, it's just taking over from the previous forest johnson regime and the blue and now huge amount of all of which things done with borrowed money. and that's just going to add to the again, the government already has,

and that's going to market because, you know, just adding to something that isn't going to generate growth, which i think is most economist is a recipe for disaster. and how's this affecting households and businesses? well, household now going to see the mobile as far as, i mean, they're already seeing that mobile is rise. and, and that's the problem because obviously we are a property market economy have been to some time. we do a bit of manufacturing on top of the services seeking financial services. often the economy is driven by what goes on in the market. and that's already stocks increase . so i think one of the analogies that people have used is the britain this now putting his foot on the accelerator to try and generate growth with tax cuts. and that is just for the bank to put his foot on the brake. and you know, when you drive a car with a foot on the accelerator to break, you're probably going to break engine ok,

but the government says there's no. busy need to change course the u. k. is economic fundamentals are found, they say, and the bank of england is taking action to calm the situation. well, here from the number to the treasury, andrew griffith and then come back to you. we've got a very, we've got a very strong balance sheet. the u. k has the 2nd lowest debt to g d p ratio in the g 7. the bank is to say is taken the timely action that it does. it's, it's its job to regulate financial markets. and then what the government's got to do is to provide people with that confidence a really big interventions to help every single household with the cost of energy. if we hadn't done that and just think about what the implications would be in terms of people's confidence and their cost of living this winter. so philip, him and the government's due to flash out the details of their plan in november. just explain to us what happens then and why they're waiting so long. well, they're waiting so long because they haven't worked out what they gonna do. they have a plan to try and generate more growth with even more trucks,

trucks. and they now let's see about how to do that because they realize the rest of the financial community economists, analyst, global bankers are all saying, well actually we're skeptical, but this is going to work. so they haven't finished it in some way to convince they also have we have a body in the, in the u. k. cause the office for budget responsibility that tend been given instruction since 2010. also reducing casing on every budget they have to come in and they will say that actually this plan isn't gonna work. they've already said in your face. and the gum is now very wary of a budget, but it's just going to add to even more criticism. the big one of the big headlines today is that the international manager, founders added to these criticism, saying that those plans would increase in equality and worse and inflation and

downing street to should rethink them. this sounds like quite a severe telling off for a g 7 country, but why is a little local economic difficulty and put it that way in the u. k. why is that even on the i m f 's right. well, the elements has been criticized most european countries without meaning them for the bailouts that they've been pushing through. over the last 6 months. france, germany doesn't like anything that they've been doing because they think they're to blunder. just spraying money around on the rich and poor to try and get through this energy process and the case, no difference. what you have done as really excited the math really got align great is because we've added on top of that. so we've not just had an emergency energy price cap, which is trusting a 150000000000. we've added on top tax cuts, which will be recovery, which will go on forever. so that's really the u. k is also part of

a reserve currencies. so the year i was the euro as a reserve currency, the dollar, the n and sterling is as well. so now we're one of the reserve company currencies of this, well, the all messing about suddenly causing chaos of the next thing. so this is the moment in history when the last thing i need is a country to start causing unnecessary cables. and so just a brief word then about government thinking, because with a country facing a recession, rising inflation and a post covey, economic hanover. what is this new government hoping to achieve by these tax cutting measures? well, they have a theory. the theory is the, it's like, i sort of ronald reagan kind of, you know, more of a lot of money and give it to the rich and entrepreneurs in tax cuts. and they will land in best money. they will build factories, they will, you know,

invent things. they will go earlier in the morning because they can make more money and they will then generate the kind of tax returns you need in the future as a country. all mean the britain comes from a growth rate of about one and a half percent. yeah. to they think to the office and that's going to happen over the next 3 to 4 years. i think their problem is, is that they've held this theory for many decades. they've now have the chance to implement it, but they're doing it right at the point when we have high inflation. so actually all they're doing is stoking even low inflation, but they can't help themselves. this is their theory. this is. busy they think generates growth and they don't really care the economic environment. they're plowing their forum into is actually really stone. the rocky ground is going to break up for a cause chaos. but it's very clear, thanks for joining us and outlining that to so clearly for the pin from the

guardian and observant news. thank you. iran has now seen 12 days of protests over the death of 22 year old master. i mean, who died in police custody demonstrations have been met with a violent response from all the artist, human rights groups, at least 76 people have died in the crackdown which is causing concern for iranians around the world. the w matched to we radiate athletes now living here in germany, who worried about relatives taking part in the protest. ah, iran is rebelling. but some iranians are stuck on the side lines, worm shaped mercer. it could have been me and massa me, needs plays with them. but i've had similar experiences in iraq. when i went the practice at the university of jonas, the morality police miss treated me in the same way. it's a full body, my parish,
