berlin, 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 dissolve lugens car hassan and zap erasure. 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 with residents of the south region voted for joining russia and were determined to

make the crime and pay for this further escalation. russell was last month i ask you to consider the issue of lou hands, people's republic. that is becoming part of russia. or i see today we together proposing a new package, biting sanctions against where we are reuniting with our 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 what the i am at the statement. it's very, very serious that comes on the back of what the back end of england said early this week. i think for so many people looking at their mortgage payments this morning, worried about whether they come out or to pay them for prices. but 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. you cried brussels as it wants 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 isolate 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 shea. dina with correspondence. 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 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, vander lion mentioned, they want to band 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 4 russian occupied regions of ukraine. and there will also be a band 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 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 r d w course one. terry schultz in brussels. or the results of the so called a 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 already formally requested incorporation ukraine's presence. lansky says he will defend all his countries 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, visited us on the gun. we were dreaming about this in 2014. 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 and fave of russian annexation with a high turn out but ukrainians, who recently fled those areas till a very different story. also selected austin results for nicely drawn up on paper. but in reality, people didn't fold up a kind of the turn out, wasn't that large news and people are very much opposed to the referendum. no one wants to join russia. no one's not asking them. would that with this pressure?

people are scared to over yes. garnishment mm hm. 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 sicily, no one voted. you don't the whole us a 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 western allies have denounced the referendums as illegal and illegitimate. say, 1st of all in you that is foss in 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 parisha region in dom boss in the currently occupied areas of the hockey region, funding crimea, if cromwell, the u. s, said it would ask the you are insecure to counsel,

to condemn the votes with the 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 now it's up to president putin just how fast he wants to complete the final step. and next them the occupied territories. and escalating his 7 month old war, once again. ah, a european union laid, a se, ruptures in the north stream pipeline were probably caused by sabotaged scientists, recorded under the explosions around the lines connecting at russia and germany. and there in the baltic sea is now churning with xscape 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. say's 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, a 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 nod 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 problem is threatening to sanction ukraine's state gas company nuff the gas because the ukrainians have been seeking arbitration to make gas from pay it's bill for transporting gas through ukraine to central europe. and that could result in gas from halting gas exports to europe through ukraine. just keeps getting worse, doesn't it alarm or as their car 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. oh yeah, definitely. yeah. the dead swan of the sign that russia is very serious in desire to actually year. ah, really, all this tiegs in energy were against to europe and the supply now on, listed at the sound of the contractual obligations through ukraine. bed. even these to mount, i think, is very considerable now for europe, when it does not have any possibilities of either sources of fresh and gas. so actually that the last route to euro excludes, ah, the darkest dream. that seats no other ways, how to deliver rush and gas. and even though they're threaten us with their sanction against nothingness. and actually they concede that are the actions of

narcan does where unfriendly. and they want to do that from in unfriendly jurisdiction. patches, thirst, switzerland, right, a part of gas problems argument is that ukraine has failed to fulfill its contractual obligations by refusing to allow gas through separatist controlled to hans, 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 and now they point to where it says 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 obligation, right?

but as, as you say, that the notion, the idea of arbitration is one that goes from dislikes. and because as you, as you, 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 to see about to halter 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 film to follow obligations to transport these guess to europe . and we are reliable partner, and we're 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, the 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 this term referenda. this is not referenda. that's 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 in joining us on the w. alanis zacko, 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 finance 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 of 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 regulation are intended to be 5, a stagnant economy instead of triggered an economic crisis. and st. 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 my mortgages looking at 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, a self inflicted wounds and they're now picking up the bill a 2nd closer look at this with a fill it in when he's the economics editor of the case, observe a newspaper and economics writer for the guardian. welcome to the w, a. have the case, new government lost control of the economy? well, it's make some really significant errors coming to office. it's just taking over from the previous johnson regime and the blue and now huge amount of all of which being done with borrowed money. and that's just going to add to the again, the government already has. and that's going to the supermarket because, you know,

just adding to something that isn't going to generate growth, which i think is most economists is a recipe for disaster. and how's this affecting households and businesses? well, household now gonna say the mortgage is far as i mean, they're already seen and we'll just rise. and, and that's the problem because obviously we are a property market economy have been to some time, we do a good manufacturing on top of the services seeking financial services. often the economy is driven by what goes on in the market. and that's always tossing trees. so i think one of the analogies that people have used is the britain this now putting is for the seller writer to try and generate growth with tax cuts. and that is just for the bank of england 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 engine ok, but the government says there's no need to change course the u. k. is economic

fundamentals are found. they say on the bank of england is taking action to come. the situation will hear 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 because the se is taken, the timely action that it does. it's, it's, it's 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 it's fairly pittman, 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 that 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 tax cuts. and they now all

see about how to do that because they realize the rest of the financial community economists, analysts, global bankers are all saying, well actually we're skeptical, but this is going to work. so they have fitness it in some way to convince they also have we have a body in the, in the u. k. calls the office for budget responsibility. that 10 been given instruction since 2010 or so the judy casey 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 government 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 monetary fund is added to these criticism, saying that those plans would increase in equality and worse and inflation and downing street 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 s radio? 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 just this frying money around on the rich and poor to try and get through this energy process and the case, no difference. what you guys done the as really excited the math really got line. great. is because we've added on top of 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 are suddenly causing chaos on the i'm, if this is the moment in history, when the last thing they need is a country to start causing unnecessary cables. and so just a brief word about government thinking because with a country facing a recession, rising inflation and a post cove, it economic hung over. what is this new government hoping to achieve by these tax cutting measures? well, they have a theory. the theory is like ronald reagan condo, if you go and borrow the money and give it to the rich and entrepreneurs in tax cuts and they will lending money, they will build factories,

they will invent things. they look out 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 goes from a growth rate of about one and a half percent a year to facing to office. and that's going to happen over the next 3 to 4 years. they think their problem is, is that they've held this theory for many decades. they've now had 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 more inflation, but they can't help themselves. this is the theory. this is what they think generate growth. and they don't really care the economic environment plowing their foreign into is actually really stony, rocky ground is going to break faro cause chaos buys very clear, thanks for joining us and outlining that so. so clearly flip in from the garden and
