ah, a with it is breaking news is our and off you international that that's on yes. got guns, but publics as well as ukraine's how to phone an orgy regions have announced they will be holding referendums on joining russia, as we understand it will take place in the next few days from the very beginning of the special military operation. we just say that the people at the respective territory should decide their fight. that's our rush. talk different about right there. sort of a lot of comments on those plans for referendums to be held saying that people at the end of the day can choose their own destiny. also in the program, the e u keeps burning through the equivalent of 15000000 loaves of bread every day to

fuel its vehicles. as a little remains in force, allowing food crops to be used as bio fuel. despite the ongoing global food crisis . with welcome to the program here, what are the international we continue our special coverage of the un general assembly is annual gathering up world leaders. but also i will continue to breaking news coverage from ukraine and it goes something like this. both the don't ask and lucas republics as well as 2 regions in ukraine have announced they will be holding referendums on whether or not to become a part of russia, a voting in the to don bass republics on the how to san an upper orgy regions will be held september 23rd to the 27th. and here at r t, we spoke with the head of those apology region. who said the authorities will do everything they can to ensure safety for those who want to express their will. oh

really? yes, he's rewarded literally. yeah, you've got single number sheet. i'm show that i see donations will drive around sup, hiroshi region and the vast majority of residence cult hold a referendum as soon as possible as they want to join russia. we don't want to be some grace and we don't want to become ukraine again. we want to become a part of russia, as we historically always have been. it was decided to hold a referendum in such a way as to avoid a mass gathering of people. that's why the referendum process will last several days. everyone will have the opportunity to devote if necessary. we can collect votes from citizens at home. this is necessary so that zelinski lead saboteurs won't be able to fire on and shed the blood of citizens who just want to express that will to be part of the russian unity. everything possible will be done to ensure security. i for more details now over to our senior correspondent in hudson, his loaded guest well anyway, you look at it. this is going to be a momentous week in history. certainly it will be studied in years and decades

perhaps to come. but yes, indeed, 3 regents holding referendums on joining russia and 23rd by the 27th of september. presumably over the course of several days to avoid massive cues or a rush because in, in all of these regions, ukrainian shelling is ceaseless these endless. and it is blind yesterday alone, 13 people killed in a single attack at the market. so presumably, authorities are taking the security situation very seriously, but they must also take other factors into consideration. why this, this rush, there's a lot that will have to be done aside from the referendum itself. the laws of russia, of logan's vignettes, can have shawna a very, very different economic lose

a very, very different that all of that is going to be. i still have to be meshed together for it to, to work. but you will be these republics they choose to join. russia will accept russian federal law with that entails, and there is little doubt that these republics will vote to join russia than he is . and logan's, after 8 years of civil war and shelling, endless peace efforts, which were either denied by you, craig minsk agreement. they've had enough, they want finally to be accepted as russian citizens rather than 2nd great citizens with, with russian passports but left to their own devices. many of them she this as the only solution to a peaceful, prosperous future for them here and here, son, region, those that have left the province. the city you claims the total is held by the key of regime. they will be unable to vote in these referenda, but as i say there is,

there is a lot rising on this and much will change. there is very little doubt about that. the authorities in russia, we've heard already the, the speaker of the parliament, the duma say that if they choose to join marsha, the state duma, the russian parliament, lower house of parliament will support them will vote to to allow them to join russia. we've heard the lead of the communist party. 2 in russia also say that this is something he has worked through achieve for years of public officials, also expressing support for the gods that he had to have sort of joining the russian federation. zappa georgia, but also stage of the referendum. and these exact dates from the 23rd to the 27th of september. meanwhile, the residents of the embattled regions seem to be positive about the upcoming referendum. so we spoke to some of them and most seen to, to be willing to vote in favor. joining russia,

gillian looms fabulous. the referendum is good. it can bring us stability. safety in a bright future for our children. or my dad boss has to become a part of russia again and also it can't be a part of ukraine anymore. there's no way back, wasn't within his mirrorless, i hope there will be peace again. that's what we fat for love yet, and i was your part of that will lula. we should have done it long before, and i'm in favor of joining russia. i'm not sure whether it will change anything though, but we'll see you. i mean, time i rogers talk, diplomats ok laughter off emphasize at moscow has long been saying it's up to the people of those root regions to choose their own paths with someone from the very beginning of the special military operation. and in general, in the perry preceding it was saying that the people at the respective territory should decide their fate. and all the current situation confirms is that they indeed want to be masters of their fight. we did speak with a political analyst, alexander a package. now he believes if the republics were to join in russia of moscow would

consider a tax on them as a tax on its own territory. or quite a big deal, i think was the primary reason is the following. is that we know both. both republics have had enough of their civilian being constantly showed by ukrainian artillery. and i think also russia said enough of it because obviously, you know, you know, the western world doesn't care about that. in fact, it encourages ukraine to do that. and the only way to really protect those people is to incorporate them in russia into russia. and of course, that also fries russia hand, once that becomes part of russia's territory. it completed as russian territory and any attack on both the longest and done yet good public is going to be treated as an effect on russia. and i think the whole world knows what that means. so in fact,

i think this is going to contribute to law, let's say, to a clarification of the, of the situation in ukraine. and i think i really, personally, i'm glad for the population of both the republics all the time. i made the news of the plant referendum in those regions there. ukrainian forces have reportedly shell de zappa orgy nuclear power plant. again, that's according to the local officials. they now say the cooling system of the plant has been damaged. now as ukrainian forces continue to target residential areas, deadly shutting down yet 650 on monday, for example, that claimed the lives of 13 people including 2 kids at least 8 others were injured in the artillery talk. when they crowded public area, i should warn you, you may find the following image is just like in

the us. we did speak to a independent journalist or even bartlett who arrived at the scene shortly after the strike. here's a, here's what she had to say. according to the head of the dpr, it was with a 155 millimeter nato artillery. this was a very crowded, residential and commercial area. there are no military targets there whatsoever. and ukraine shelled the airy repeatedly. by the time i got there i, the bodies were still lying on the ground. it was a horrific scene. it was pure ukrainian terrorism bodies were bolona parts, pieces of bodies were strewn down the street. yeah, it is just a scene of chaos,

a very ghastly scene. we, we do know that ukraine, a notoriously double and triple strikes area. so it's, it's very dangerous for people both odd residents in the area and also 1st responders that come to the area to help people or other rescue services that come to help with the clean up. it's very dangerous because ukraine could very well strike that same area or i'd ask her to give to new york now, where the world hunger crisis is in the spotlight of the un general assembly to day . the secretary general, antonio cortez has drawn the world's attention to that of the fertilizer supply problem. gutierrez says these products must never be sanction. you know, must urgently advance the global foot, the eliza market crunch. vizier, the world as enough foods. the problem is distribution. but if the foot eliza market is not stabilized, next year's problem might be foot supplied itself if these essential to continue

removing all remaining obstacles to the exports of roughened 40 lasers of that ingredients, including ammonia. these products are not subject to sanctions. the regional african director of humanitarian aid organization concerns worldwide demanded the international community. step into tackle the famine which has been brought about mostly by the issues of climate change in an on going droughts. the waiting game must stop. now we are scaling up our response, but we need the resources to help all those effected equally if we are to contain the situation and the number of states. oh, so i wrote a letter to the international community, pleading for the health and combating the worldwide hunger situation. it already i right here in the studio. fiorella, isabel gave me details on this. there is an open letter that seeks to address this question of literally life and death. and this letter has been signed by 230

organizations and 75 countries. and this claims that one person dies every 4 seconds of, of hunger. and of course, this is a morally unconscious level thing to not addressed. so let's take a look. 50000000 people and now just one step away from starvation. over $345000000.00 more are borrowing under the crushing weight of hunger, struggling to feed their families and at risk of death. the international community and national governments are fighting to meet their duty. and if prioritize, political and economic interests over the well being of the world's most vulnerable children and families and communities and a world of plenty leaving people to staff as a policy choice. we call on you as world leaders to take urgent action to stem this crisis and prevent future ones. so those are strong numbers and strong words, considering the numbers have increased so much since 2019. and what we're seeing to is that this letter draws attention as to how politicians have been ignoring the poorest countries to for the wealthier countries. we've seen the media and be

attention, be of course, in ukraine these last few months. and of course, the most affected people in the world are suffering because of that. now, one country in particular i want to point out is somalia. somalia is a country that is facing 250 people at risk of death directly just a few days ago. that you and revealed that the somalian humanitarian response plan is only 65 percent funded, which means that, that we need to really get on this. and now the question is, what, what other country, what are other countries going to do about this over to yemen is a big deal to, but some people call yemen that the biggest manmade catastrophe in the history of mankind. you talk about global responses. we've heard about cargo ships being sent to, well, the supposed to go to the poor countries on that big, big, kind of end up going to the richer country. what, what is the global response? right, right, so like i said, we're seeing billions and billions go to in ukraine, right. and we're seeing that the priorities go specifically to ukraine. so just

yesterday, a ukrainian deputy minister of a gary and i'm policy and food pretty much boasted about the help that ukraine was actually offering. what's hovel attention is being drawn 1st and foremost to how many ships go to africa. because there are many devastating reports of famine coming from there as millions of people are suffering. as of today, throughout the period of the grand initiative, 23 vessels carrying 640000 tons of food have been sent. there. sounds like a lot, but when you actually put it into context, it's not. so that's about 13 percent, 2003 out of $169.00 vessels and numbers actually say that this is actually much lower than that. and of course, the green is mostly going to richer countries. these are criticisms at both president air to one of turkey and president. while you're putting, have pointed out numerous times that why is the brain only going to european countries? right? and one important thing i want to point out, rory is that earlier this week,

the european union failed to prioritize that security over fuel supplies. because as we know, sanctions have effected europe in the, in terms of the gas, an energy crisis. and so the block decided to keep burning through $10000.00 tons of wheat per day, converting it to ethanol in order to power their cars. now, this is something that wouldn't need to be done if there weren't sanctions on russia. so i have to point that out in this statistic, say this is like removing 50000000 loaves of bread and thousands of tons of sunflower every single day to fuel cars and trucks. so this is of course, a huge issue. and again, this wouldn't happen if there weren't sanctions on russia, which is affecting this whole situation. let's recall that president putin made attempts to yes, grade to the developing nations that are in need and it is of course being blots. we did get you mute, gentleman sanctions are being impose when the pressure is being exerted on all of x rays. and unfortunately completely innocent countries also suffer from such

a policy. first of all, the most vulnerable and the poorest. they were primarily affected by western restrictions on the supply of russian energy, with food and fertilizers to world market. and in this context, the height of cynicism is that even our offer to transfer 300000 tons of russian fertilizers, blocked in european ports due to sanctions to countries in need for free. i want to emphasize this remains an answer done. so it is against this background that the letter has been written right. and we have seen, of course, a powerful call for people to address this to put politics aside and avert this catastrophe. now it seems like politics, it's still playing a big role in allowing this brain to get to where it needs to be, which is really sad because this issue needs to be addressed because millions of people are on the verge of starvation and the president of the london political party for democracy and liberty says that europe's approach towards the hunger

crisis actually costs the grim shadow on the western quote. champion of human rights position has listen. we have the day for the crisis. there was, and many times people ought to say that the program is new or between new nasha and crime. but if you see that the countries of the, to you of the, for the to produce the, for the time there is, if for the prize is the dollars if it's shopped on human rights, but how can we be chunking new money, right? if you use the food and you know that, that countries that they need food, do you the code for day to produce your board or rich an act of economic racism. that's how you gander. her slammed a new e u resolution that abandons an oil pipeline building project. citing alleged her

human rights abuses, ugandan parliament, deputy speaker brown, the move a step up against that of the countries sovereignty. the resolution is based on misinformation and represents the highest level on neo colonialism and imperialism against the sovereignty of uganda and tanza. mia. dalso seeks to deny ugandans and east africans the benefits and opportunities from the oil and gas sector. this represents the highest form of economic racism against developing countries who has the right to explore and developed from their own natural resources and under what conditions. that's the knob of the fight between uganda, tanzania, and the e. u. on friday, the e u. parliament issued a statement saying they advise all companies as they quote us, linked to the east african crude oil pipeline project, to abandon all activities and to seize any production. now, the worries for the u parliament, as cited in the petition, ah, environmental,

and linked to human rights abuses, they say detract us of the project. have been arbitrarily jailed and that an oil spill already from this underground project could infest among the many rivers connected to the great lakes region. and could be a detriment to millions of people who live in that area. hits more from the you, the european parliament calls for the you and the international community to exert maximum pressure on ugandan intensity and authorities as well as the project promoters and stakeholders to protect the environment. and to put an end to the extractive activities in protected and sensitive ecosystems, including the shores of lake albert, and commit to using the best available means to preserve the culture, health and future of the communities affected. what the petition will not tell you, however, is the energy poverty of the east african region as a whole and that many of the east african countries can not afford to go green. it is estimated that 66 percent of uganda's, a multi dimensionally energy pool,

and the 33 percent of them have always suffered from acc, shoot energy, poverty. uganda is one of the countries that could greatly benefit from this pipeline. it's estimated that uganda has some 1400000000 barrels of oil and is ground. and that the 1400 kilometer pipeline plan between it and tanzania could lift millions out of poverty. and according to the president of uganda, he had a warning on twitter for total energy, which is one of the company's links to the pipeline project. he says that should they follow in the footsteps of the wanting from the parliament, uganda and tell zenia, stand ready to take their feet into their own hands and talk of course for their own destiny. and that if taught towel pulls out, they will be ready to find another pod. no one, no international policy,

consulting we heard from believes it's wrong for the e. u will brussels to interfere and uganda's sovereign economic energy policy it because right now they are working on getting that from another line is expected to be 600 kilometers to bring natural gas here. because it's not been if you got the pipeline you making noise and they're trying to come down. another sovereign state, personal and above average, is about 2 percent of the emission and ask for about the 70 percent of the global population. the lifeline and development of the oil is going to have benefits for the economy. people right to do what they believe their people invest in service people in europe come and tell them

what to do. now to a religious rights controversy where india is supreme court is presiding over an appeal by a large group of muslim students. after school girls were banned from classes for wearing a hid job. back in february, the indian advocacy groups denounced the lower course decision as one of quote, robbing women of an education. his correspondent runjun sharma in the south and in state of karnataka. in february, the c. r muslim students wearing a jobs were stopped from entering their college. the students argued against that decision calling it a why lesion of their fundamental rights. but the states high court upheld the ban on muslim women wearing a jobs in educational institutes. the court said the prescription of a school uniform as a reasonable restriction, and that students can not object to wit. it's already been

a challenge to then go to school in the muslim community in india, wearing a job within me to allow them to do so. now the gotten in the hour forcing young muslim girls to make a terrible choice between education and what they see as their feet. now, the case has reached in del supreme court and its decision which is expected in the coming days, would have a big impact. if the cadillac government section is approved that you can or banned the he job in educational institutions, then i do suspect that many other states might more in a similar fashion. religious leaders believe that the he job control was the, has been fueled by the hindu nationalist government in india to rob muslims. of the religious and cultural space. it's actually a nor issue which has been blown out of proportion and made into a big issue already that many of those have already dropped out in canada. that as

are coming that are many goes a stop going to school. a number of muslim girls, including the petitioners see that wearing a job as a fundamental right and an essential practice and that it should be left to individuals. i don't think 8 o'clock in the court judges or hinder man decides what muslim women should wear. that's not fair. the logic behind the sedan, it's completely flawed. i don't think it makes sense. you have sojourn with the binding he job lena was at ease in schools and then it's, it's going to come to what places and then made me public places. what do you want from us with the little hold that the supreme court will see the matter differently, muslim goes fear. the clock maybe set backwoods region shar mall, or t new delhi. could that be with us for this program? a 10 year old girl has reportedly been shot in the head or this during demonstrations in iran, over the death of a woman arrested for violating strict dress codes. a warning i should let you know

the following images. you may find them disturbing how the girl is set to be in a critical condition after the incident in the western city of come. this tuesday marks a 4th day of protest in iran. reports say 5 people have been killed since saturday and security for his open fire on the crowds during the most violent protests in the capital town videos from social media show police using water cannon against the crowds. the protests erupted after a 22 year old woman died in police custody after being arrested for wearing a head job that was deemed unsuitable. demonstrators say the police beat her until she was in a coma. authorities reject these claims. they said she had a sudden heart attack. well, female demonstrators have since been removing their head scarves in protest. oh, i know more details on that story right now waiting for you at all t dot com. the meantime, this program discontinue very sir a

with another boss with you, i finished the grad school at complete key at the washington state. the process is to do a complete with us for go to you guys to phone us in the hotel. you get you what i need, meeting with you with the proxy, a professional lithium to walk you prevalence zavala,

but yet with awe in only one main thing is important. for knox, ism internationally speaking, that is at nations, but that's allowed to do anything. all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nations who are the slaves. americans, proc obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this. danger is boy a man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. so some golf out of it on your own english gi i, which is fashion. who is the

aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. thank you to just a moment. when you say you mostly mind or wish you were banding all imports of russian oil and gas, new g. i know they plenty of those with the letter from, you know, with joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia. you know, has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang a new choice, medical mumbo blog post, mature between the, both of the dimensions for me,

but you want to push with the definition of radius to most people. much do. i don't want that. i don't want that to be of course i gamma will push that to village because we had what i was not. there is no good fun . thank you from crow or you for your for holding the picture. we're here to is using this to hold. you go to the broker insurance card. we've got a hold of companies in here to got the new talk with more. let me do this. can with this, let's put the oil e. yeah, i would estimate because i thought a few of the last november read sienna, what does provide alicia with a little so to was with okay. when you watch the

shows what i heard. humble will teach, has adult pixel chill showing of the stuff. and then you know, with them i woke up late, wouldn't earth or somebody estimate the moment i'm going to ask them bring the additional i.
