i'm so again, a welcome to the program. yes, president joe biden has said that washington will never recognize the results of illegal russian annexations in ukraine is warning comes as russia moves ahead with plans to form the incorporate for ukrainian regions on friday. moscow claims the occupied regions of lou hands get denied because that region and has on voted to join the russian federation in so called referendums, which have been dismissed by ukraine and the west as a sham, russia annex ukraine's crimea through a similar process in 2014 at moscow's red square, preparations are underway, dis, benefits to get there forever. with the names of the regents russia plans to absorb here. russian president vladimir putin. blanche to officially announce fennic fishing of the fort ukrainian regents after net la hans for patricia and had son. they make up about 15 percent of ukraine's territory. rewards is delia. a solid

people have made a conscious and free choice. i knew maggie senior grace stated firmly to the whole world to read their wish to be with russia only adelina. but miss dear sir, i see no seek to forever to tie their fate to our country. which washes to ease and will be their historic motherland. is that each is great originally, in the city of grammar, dusk, in that a net fleeting dividend said they will defy ration anake fission does. is him even if they come, our boys won't let us down. if necessary, we will fight to move you even. you know, you might by your lead some good laska that please don't do stupid things. leukemia blood will do not take the steps you intend to take in confirming and accepting the annexation of our territories territory. the dang mass has always been ukraine is ukraine and will always be ukraine. we will fight for additional dish. okay. you

know, it will. the melissa bottle up to 4000000 people were asked to what in the fort warrant on regents trash are cleaned and overwhelming victory while you clean and it's international partners dismissed the defendants as chance and a violation of international law. it cannot be reconciled with international legal framework it since against every single international communities man to stand for . it flawed the purposes and principles of united nations. it is a dangerous escalation. it has no place in the modern world. it must not be accepted. the kremlin theme unmoved by the criticism met its actions. i clothing i dos to a diplomatic solution. they w correspondent, ne conway, in the ukrainian a capital told me the news about the formal annexation had received a rather muted response. was weird. it sounds, this is not the top story in the ukrainian media today and definite people are not

talking about it anything as much as internationally. people here talking about the use of cluster munitions against civilians in the south ukraine, other kind of humanitarian stories. i think that has 2 reasons. on the one hand this has already been factored in. there's been lots of talk about referendums since russia started this most recent invasion in february. the dates were moved several times where people kind of knew this was coming. i was just a matter of when it was coming in the end the there was only few weeks between the announcement of these votes and them being carried out. but basically people had kind of prepared themselves for this. and they don't want to, especially the politicians say they don't want to give it too much significance. this is not something that ukraine recognizes. they called on their assistance to boycott these events and to, you know, we saw lots of peaks, people hiding away in their apartments, trying to avoid being called on to vote. and people going around knocking on doors with military and tow trying to get people to vote. so, you know, they're basically trying to not dignify this with too much reaction. and you know, focus on the things where they feel stronger. and how will formal russian annexation change day to day life for people in these regions,

the hands and asked apparition and cas on i think actually initially won't change that much. lots of this kind of creeping annexation measures have already taken place. lots of places you can only pay in russian roubles rather than ukraine retina, wrote, the russian pension system has been introduced and the ukranian post office that was it, providing those pensions has basically been kicked out. and lots of other kind of economic things have happened. and basically, if you want to work for the state for, to keep on teaching in a school, for instance, or if you want to open a bank account, you have long needed a russian passport. so basically, if you didn't want a russian passport, your life was made very difficult without one. i think the real crux will be now mobilization. that is the thing that people here in ukraine are most worried about the ukrainians. living under occupation will now be told you are russian and such as a man between age of 18. 60, you are liable to fight in russia's army against your own country against ukraine. my bad that brings me to my next point, merely which is how this just states as is likely to change either the way that

russia conducts the war, or indeed the way that you crane defends itself. we've heard lots of threats from top brush officials, including former president meter mc video, saying that once these regions are deemed to be russia proper, then russia will use nuclear weapons, or at least tactical nuclear weapons, small scale nuclear weapons to defend that surgery, even if no one else in the world recognizes these territories as being russian that includes rushes closest allies of serbia. and bruce, who are in no hurry to recognize these pseudo referendums as the ukrainians, while they're gonna carry on fighting irrespective they are not taking the seriously, they've just missed the missed a freak show in a pseudo referenda. i think the big difference could be, and that's the way in ukraine's that western european supporters of ukraine are going to get cold feet. they're gonna be scared by these russian threats. this willingness to escalate and such might reduce their support. the principle at re argue that nick i d, w, corresponded nick connelly and keith a french oil firm turtle energy says it has observed unauthorized

a drone activity close to one of its oil facilities in the north sea. europe on high alert for potential attacks on its energy infrastructure after a series of leagues was discovered in the north stream gas pipelines in the baltic . se nato says the damage is the result of sabotage and scientists. a warning that the incident could be the biggest methane league ever recorded. european leaders are worried about the pipeline leaks in the baltic sea. that uses the damage was likely caused by deliberate act raising security concerns. but the european commission has not said who might have been behind a suspected separate dutch today. ms. oller, who is everything is being done to try to identify the origin of these events and of the explosions on the node string pipelines. so we will have to get to the bottom of this before being able to say anything on the origins of these explosions is okay. and who is responsible for though. sure. her luggage in this is extra joy,

irresponsibility, as europe largest natural gas supplier, nor with this, it will beef up the security of it's an antique infrastructure, is to turn the events in the baltic sea have resulted in the government deciding to further strengthen our preparedness around on and offshore infrastructures to prevent another incident in force water nor by the military will be more present and visible near our oil and gas installations installment the leaders have warn't of retaliation for any attack on europe's entertain networks. video to reveal there is no doubt that this is very serious. it is not a coincidence. this was planned. that is what i am or other things of discuss with the installed and burg nato secretary general. because this is serious, russia says it's launching an international terrorism investigation into the leaks denying allegations it was involved related, well, you know, it's quite predictable and also predictably stupid to make such claims. i repeat

once again, predictably stupid and absurd. the gas escaping from the biplanes is also an environmental concern. it contains high levels of meeting and authority sphere. it could be the equivalent of one 3rd of denmark, started animal greenhouse gas emissions. the german chancellor, olaf schultz has unveiled a 200000000000 euro plan to protect the german economy against the worst effects of soaring energy prices. the plan includes a cap on natural gas and electricity prices and will scrap a proposed gas levy on consumers by the rest of europe. germany is in the midst of an energy crisis. after the rush, after russia cut gas supplies in response to western sanctions over the war and ukraine. after weeks of debate about what measures the german government should and would take to help customers through winter of spiraling energy prices. finally, at clear decision from the chancellor who spoke via video link because of

a positive covey test, yet skipped to so many do we are talking about price cap for gas, but, and for that purpose, we have now set up a committee that will come up with concrete suggestions, and in a very short time, the c emitter isaacson can we've now put in place the means to lower prices for consumers all over the country for families, for pensioners, for traits people, but also for businesses big and small. and that's what desperately needed. now, so we can get into these difficult time, sit with users, feel good, said call the shut down of cheap ration gas has resulted in german energy prices. skyrocketing help from the government is badly needed to cushion the blow to households and businesses. spain and portugal already introduced a gas price cap and both the u. k and france have announced plans to curb energy prices. but the german government had side stepped the measure. so far, on wednesday, the leaders of germany, 16 federal states,

met to discuss the energy crisis and called for decisive action from left charles. see if they hear the pacific, a weakness of the government's measure so far is that they've been minor. they've tried to solve one of the biggest challenges in germany's history with inadequate tools used to put as we go, expands, what we need know is a big plan, becomes a commitment, was the 1st question. now that big commitment has been made, though the exact numbers still need to be thrashed out with winter fast approaching, germans will be hoping that it will be enough to help get them through the cold. will state beslee from the w business can talk us through the germans, a big plan. welcome, steven. so what will households and businesses see if these plans are introduced? although the idea here is to protect consumers essentially, to shield them from these very high market prices. we're seeing right now by setting up this kind of artificial ceiling on how much they can pay. and the

difference between these 2 levels will be covered by the government. most likely, this level, the ceiling will be set as a kind of a, a price per kilowatt hour. as the brits have already done. and, you know, the alternative which government has now scrapped was to put the onus more on consumers. that is to tax every kilowatt hour, regardless of how much was used in an effort to offset those rising cost. naturally, businesses and households didn't like that. there seems to be much more initial approval of, of this plan because the government is going to step into play a much more active role. and so what would a gas cap mean for inflation, which is just hit 10 percent likely, we would see inflation go down because this would see the government eating more of the cost that the households were responsible for. the biggest concerns with a gas cap would be $1.00 cost, and the other would be the signal that it sends to consumers. we know that there are no official figures for what the cap will look like right now, and that, that's going to be left to an expert commission. it's job will be to figure out exactly how,

where to set this level so that it still forces consumers to think about how much gas they're using without making, without leaving them unable to afford gas. and it has to find a sweet spot. if it doesn't make gas expensive enough, then demand might stay the same, or it might even go up for gas. and that could actually have the opposite effect of what's intended here. and how is jeremy doing on its pivot away from russian gas? yeah, i mean it's some, this is the big question. i mean, it is this winter is, is the frankly no one knows. right, right now, one thing that we know is that the german government has been focused on filling up its gas reserves. it's not a pretty good of that its met all of its deadlines ahead of schedule, and it's continued to receive gas from the netherlands from norway, long term contracts. there. it's been more on the spot market paying a lot, just to fill up those reserves. what it needs to do is it needs to have more long term contracts for things like look of natural gas from katia. you probably heard about this already, the u. s. as well,

and it's going to need more savings from consumers and from businesses. and we're already starting to see some efforts to that ends. you know, more of the more businesses are moving towards other fuels a side of gas if they can, households as well are moving towards other means of heating aside from gas. and so these measures are going to be important in the months ahead if germany is going to meet at savings goals, a quick word on, on inflation, which i mentioned it at 10 percent stay. there's talk of recession in europe biggest economy. so what's that likely to mean for, for people was not just talk of recession. the question is more, how bad it's going to be. not whether it's going to be here. almost all the prognosis we're seeing right now say recession is coming for 2023. the latest one we saw today say it's likely the german economies likely to contract by half a percent. what that means is that businesses will pull in their spending. that means that there could be lay offs that could be job losses. that means the households will pull back, they're spending a lot of this depends on what we see with energy costs in the coming months. when

demand rises, when a gas supply is potentially short, how short is it going to be? we'll industries have to a set aside production lines because energy is too expensive or because they don't have enough gas. all these will play into how bad this recession will be, and that still an open question. at the end of the day, one thing we definitely can't control is the weather. is this going to be a really cold winter? will people be turning up their thermostats higher than normal? i'm so all these questions are coming into play right now. ok, no good news. in there at all, stephen beardsley from t w. business. thank you. take a look at some more stories making news around the world will start in finland, where it says it will shut its borders to russian tourists with shana and visas. from midnight tonight, this follows a surgeon border crossing since russia announced a military mobilization. it's warn you. craig, move close is the last remaining land route from russia to the european union. us vice president cabella harris visited the demilitarized zone that divides the korean peninsula where she said,

trailer and going governor, the st is called to storm his tory, we've never seen a flood of that like this. we've never seen storm surge of this magnitude and it hit an area where there's a lot of people in a lot of those low lying areas. and it's going to end up doing extensive damage to a lot of people's homes with a storm already passed. it was a harrowing experience with just relentless spinning, constantly just over his over here, the metal banging against the building is dark. you don't know what's going on at the 10 o'clock last night this way in and they're brand new. i know you but yeah, there are standard bar poses, then others were not that lucky. this could be florida se deadliest hurricane on record. u. s. president biden said the federal government promised help. the president and our administration are fully committed to offering in supplying

federal support to the state officials and doing everything we can to help them both in terms of recovery, but also whatever is necessary to ensure that folks are safe and out of harm's way . hurricane ian has left millions across florida without electricity authorities fear even more severe damage is the song continues, it's trail of destruction on florida's northeastern coast. a carly barber is a broadcaster with national public radio in fort meyers, florida, which has been badly hit. she told me about the current situation. well, the damage has truly been catastrophic. around here, the for fort myers beach is a town that has basically been leveled. every building seems to be gone. downtown fort myers is, there was water almost to the 2nd level. cars submerged many people last homes,

many people are injured and there is just a huge amount of damage. i present biden warning that the storm could be the deadliest in the states at history. how badly are people being affected? what are you seeing and hearing? we simply don't know the extent of the harm in the injury yet. i know that more than 500 rescues have been made in lee county, which is where fort myers is. and charlotte, which is the county just north, when rescuer is get out and about they, we will no more the naples city manager estimated $200000000.00 in damage in that small city which is south of us. right. and that how, as the rescue operation being coordinated, is it going well it is going slowly only because they couldn't get out until really late morning today. so they've been at

it for some hours. but until the wind and rain died down, they couldn't get out either. so people have possibly been waiting for help and they may be waiting a bit more. is it too soon to start talking about reconstruction on the costs and how that's going to work? i think it is, we still have power is still out for about $2700000.00 people in the region, which is almost the entire grid and authority. you say that the infrastructure has been badly damaged to the point where they can't just run around and reconnect things they have to really rebuild. so i don't know the full extent, but i know that it's going to take a long time and be very, very deep changes. right, and the storm has weakened now what's being predicted and for its course.

it is last i heard it's in the atlantic ocean on the east coast of florida and headed for south carolina. it may strength into a hurricane again, but there are still tropical storm force winds and flooding in northeastern florida . this evening. good talking to you. thank you so much for joining us. carry bob and florida and internationally acclaimed author and filmmaker see bank of america has been convicted by court in a home countries. and bob weigh on charges of inciting public violence who was arrested in 2020 for protesting a full government reforms rights organization. so the case which stretched over 2 years was when it was politically motivated and an attempt to suppress freedom of speech. the w correspondent, privilege was done here. he was in court and sent this report the permanent right
