ah with mm ah, it is breaking news that our anaki international the don't yet scan lugens republics as well as you cranes out of san and zappa orgy regions announce they will be holding referendums on joining russia in the next few days. so here at ocoee international, we got reaction from locals with the referendum is good, you can bring us stability. don bus has to become a part of russia again, but that's what we should have done at long before. and i'm in favor of joining russia from the very beginning of the special military operation. we're just saying

that the people at the respective territory should decide that fight brush has popped up on my to write this sort of love for off commenting on those plans for referendums to be held. he says that people can always choose their own destiny. the e u keeps burning through the equivalent of 15000000 loaves of red every day to fuel its vehicles. as a law does remain enforced, allowing food crops to be used as bio fuel, despite the ongoing global food crisis and the economic racism. that's what you've done. didn't politicians of cold a new e u resolution forcing the country to stop building gas pipelines for the sake of the environment and human rights issues. that is, as uganda was on the verge of that of energy poverty a so good to have you with us for this. i was program from moscow. of course it's

auntie international. i'm rural research shide. we continue without breaking news coverage or what auntie international and that is both the don yet and lou ganske republics as well as 2 regions in ukraine have announced they will be staging referendums on whether or not to become a part of russia of voting and the 2 on bass republic, the hudson ends up at all, she regions will be held as we understand from september, the 23rd to the 27th. and here at our tea, we spoke with the head of the upper orgy region. who said the authorities will do everything to ensure the safety of all those who want to express thy will usually. yeah, usually not. but she does. i'm sure that i see donations. will i drive a rounds up 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. every one 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. what are some of the latest details now with our senior correspondent in hudson is not just the f. 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 regions holding referendums on joining russia from 23rd. 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 loss. a very, very different that all of that is going to be, i still have to be mesh together for it to work. presumably these republics they choose to join. russia will, will accept russian federal law with that entails. and there is little doubt that these republics will vote to join russia than yet. and logan's, after 8 years of civil war and shelling and las peace efforts,

which we either denied by you, craig, the minsk agreements they've had enough. they want finally to be accepted as russian citizens rather than 2nd grade 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, san region, those that have left the province, the city you claim for territories held by the key of regime. they will be unable to vote in this referenda, but as i say there is, there is a lot riding on this and much will change. there is very little doubt about that. her thought is in russia, we've heard already the, the speaker of the parliament, the duma say that if they choose to join brush of the state, doom of the russian parliament, lower house of parliament will support them. will vote to her to allow them to join russia. we've heard the lead of the communist party in russia. also say that this

is something he has worked through achieved for years of public officials, also expressing support for the gods that he has would have thought of joining the russian federation. zapata worship will also stage the referendum in these exact dates from the 23rd to the 27th of september. meanwhile, some of the residents of the embattled regions seem to be rather positive about the upcoming referendums. so we spoke to some of them to get their thoughts on the possibility of that, of potentially joining russia, lithium looms fabulous. the referendum is good. it can bring us stability, safety and a bright future for our children. or my don bus has to become a part of russia again, and also it can't be a part of ukraine anymore. there's no way back. was up with an s mutants. i hope there will be peace again. that's what we fat for love yet. and i was your part of that will look, 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 that russia is top diplomat. her seroquel of her off. he emphasized moscow has long been saying it's up to the people of those regions to choose their own path. to listen to the machine from the very beginning of the special military operation and in general in the parry preceding it. we were saying that the people at the respective territory should decide their fight. and all the current situation confirms is that they indeed want to be masters of their fight idea addressing a potentially very key angle to this. so we spoke with a political analyst alexander of half inch, and he believes if the republics were to join russia, moscow would consider a tax on them as a tax on its own sovereign territory. or quite a big deal. i think of the primary reason is the following. is that, well, you 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. and once that becomes part of russia's territory, it can treated as russian territory and any attack on both the longest and don't yet. republic 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. i think i really personally, i'm glad for the population of both the republics now, amid the news on the plan to referendum in the region, ukrainian forces have report a late child does apology, nuclear power plant, again,

that's according to local authorities. they say the cooling system of the plant has now been damaged, so as ukrainian forces do continue to talk at residential areas of the deadly shelling of doing it. city on monday claimed the lives of 13 people, including 2 children, at least 8 all those, as we understand were injured in the artillery a type on a crowded public area. i should warn you. you may find the following images to start out with . we heard from a independent journalist the eva bartlett, who arrived at that scene shortly after the strike is what you 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 blown. a 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 and 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 when it's good debbie with us for this almost program. now

the world hunger crisis is in the spotlight of the un general assembly of the secretary general antonio cortez has drawn the world's attention to the fertilizer supply problem, saying these kinds of products must never be sanctioned. you know, muster gently advanced the global foot. 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 supply itself is essential to continue removing all remaining obstacles to the exports of ruffin for violence. as of that ingredients including ammonia, these products are not subject to sanctions. earlier, the regional african director of the humanitarian aid organization called concerns worldwide. but they're minded, the international community step in to tackle the famine which has been brought

about by nearly an endless drought. 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 a number of states also, i wrote a letter to that of the international community, pleading for its health in combating the world wide hunger situation. earlier in this program. here in the studio with our own 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 were 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 address. 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 60 by 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, they're supposed to go to the poor countries on that big. they kind of end up going to the richer countries, what, what is the global response, right, right, so like i said, we're seeing billions and billions go to a in ukraine, right. and we're seeing that the, the priorities go specifically to ukraine. so just yesterday, a ukrainian deputy minister of a gary and em policy and food pretty much boasted about the help that ukraine was actually offering. what's hobble 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. $23.00 out of $100.00. 69 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 that both president air to one of turkey and president vladimir putin 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 food 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 would need to be done if there weren't sanctions on russia. so i have to point that out and this statistic say this is like removing

$50000000.00 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. but wanted to let you to me, legitimate sanctions are being imposed, they're willing to pressure is being exerted on the old x rays or some unfortunately, gra, completely innocent countries also suffer from such a whole system. first of all, the most vulnerable and the poorest. they were primarily affected by western restrictions on the supply and ocean energy for food and fertilizers to watch mark devion. and in this context, through a high cynicism, is that even our offer for 300000 tons of fertilizer. and when you're paying for

sanctions to countries in need for re when i was emphasized, remains an are done and so 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. what on this subject or the president of the rwandan political party for democracy and liberty had some pretty strong words to say, ultimately suggesting that europe's approach towards the hunger crisis ultimately costs the grim shadow on the western quote. champion of human rights position have a list. now we have the day for the guys, if you, there was and many times people to bury the program in the war between noon and crimes. but if you see that the countries of the, to you of the,

for the to courtesy who are or kind of, he's at the time if for the price is the wrong. or if it's listed at the shop you on human rights. but how bigger chunk a new money, right? if you use afford and you know that, that countries that they need for a do you the code for day to produce it for, for rich an act of economic racism. that's how you gander slammed a new e u. resolution that's trying to block an oil pipeline building project, citing alleged environmental and human rights abuses, uganda and parliament deputy speaker bryan to move a step against the countries sovereigns. the resolution is based on misinformation and represents the highest level on neo colonialism and imperialism against the sovereignty of uganda and tanza. mia. it also 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 number of the fight between uganda, tanzania, and the e. u. on friday, the e u. parliament issued a statement saying they advise all companies, the stakeholders 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 little 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, in 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 companies linked to the pipeline project. he says that should they follow in the footsteps of the wanting from the parliament, uganda and tell dania, 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 partner. one international policy consulting that we heard from earlier believe that it's wrong for the e you to interfere in uganda is sovereign economic policy. because right now they are being working on getting from another african

it's better to be about 600 kilometers to bring natural gas here because it's not been if you got the pipeline deal, they're making their noise and they're trying to come down. another sovereign state, personal and above average, is about 2 to 4 percent of the whole world emissions. and ask for accounting about 17 percent of the global population, lifeline. and the development of the oil is going to have my benefits with the economy. people asking the right to do what they believe that other people and invest the country and in europe come and tell them what to do are shifting gears to that of 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 hit job back in february, the indian advocacy groups denounced to the lower court decision as one of quote, robbing women of an education. pick up the story with our correspondent ranger and sharma in the south and in state of karnataka. in february, the c r was them students wearing a jobs were stopped from entering their college. the students argued against that decision, calling it a while asian 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 it. it's already been a challenge to then go to school in the muslim community in india, wearing a her job to allow them to do so. now the cotton in the out forcing young muslim girls to make a terrible choice between education and what they see as their feet. now,

the keys has reached in del supreme court and its decision which is expected in the coming days, would have a big impact. if the cut market that government section is approved, that you can, i banned the he job in educational institutions. didn't. i do suspect that many other states might move in a similar fashion. religious leaders believe that the he job control was the, has been fueled by the hindu nationalist. government in india does 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 guys have already dropped note in canada that does that coming that dough. many goes a stop going to school. a number of muslim girls, including the petitioners see that wearing a job is 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 how him to man decides

what muslim women should wear. that's not fair gonna depend on the logic behind the sedan. it's completely flawed. i don't think it makes sense. you have sojourn with the mining he job in the universities and 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 girls fear the clock may be set backwards. region sharma, r t, new delhi are to tehran now where you understand a 10 year old girl is reportedly been shot in the head of this during demonstrations in iran, over the death of a woman erected for violating strict dress codes. i should warn you, you may find the following images disturbing. the cone is set to be in a critical condition after the incident in the western city of boca this tuesday, march the 4th day of protests in iran report say 5 people have been killed since saturday. and security forces open fire on the crowds during the most violent
