you know, i'm sure that most people haven't even been to some of the areas next to their homes. this is the day after that. you can go further and eventually come here to the russian. far east, for example. ah, it is breaking news that our naughty international, but don't yet scan lugan script public as well as ukraine's or so on an upward or g regions announced they will be holding referendums on joining russia in the next few days. carol, i think we get reactions from the locals with the referendum is good. it can bring us stability. john bus has to become a part of russia again for we should have done it long before. and i'm in favor of joining russia from the very beginning of the special military operation. and we're just saying that the people that the respective territory should decide that fight

as russia is called different matter era. so to get off competing on those plans for referendums to be held ultimately saying at the end of the day, people can choose their own destiny. also in the program, the u keeps burning through the equivalent of 15 middle lee and loaves of red every day to fuel its vehicles as a law remains and for allowing food crops to be used as a bio fuel. despite an ongoing hunger crisis and quote, economic racism, that's what uganda and politicians of cold and u. e. u resolution. the forces that country to stop building gas pipelines for the sake of environmental goals and human rights. so that the country basically is on the verge of what's known as energy poverty with

it is so good to have you with us for this, our program from moscow vitality international. i'm rural, re sushi, by the way. so to a continuation about breaking news here on our tea a both the don't yet scan lugens republics as well as 2 regions in ukraine have announced they will be holding referendums on whether or not to become a pot. russia voting in the 2 dawn bash republics on the hudson and separate orgy regions will be held on september the 23rd to the 27th. and here at r t, we spoke with the head of these up at oj region. he said the authorities will do everything to ensure a safety for all those people who want to express. they will be rewarded. literally a huge oxy hooked up a sheet because i'm sure that i see donations. will i 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. what was, what was your reply to our senior correspondent now, what i'd gazda if he remains in hudson with more details. 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 on 23rd. i had 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 these, these rush, there's a lot that will have to be done aside from the referendum itself. the laws of russia, of la guns and billiards can have shauna a very, very different economic loss. a very, very different that all of that is going to be, i still have to be meshed together for it to work. presumably, 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 luggage after 8 years of civil war and shelling,

endless peace efforts which were either denied by you craig, amidst agreement. 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, son, region, those that have left the province, the city you claims the territories 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 in russia also say that this is

something he has at work to achieve for years. all the public officials also expressing support for the gods that he had to have san are joining the russian federation, zappa, georgia, but also stage the referendum and these exact dates from the 23rd to the 27th of september. meanwhile, the residents of the embattled regions seemed to be well rather positive about the upcoming referendum. so we spoke to some of them to get their thoughts on that of potentially joining russia. gillian looms fabulous. the referendum is good. it can bring us stability, safety and a bright future for our children. all night don bass has to become a part of russia again and not so it can't be a part of ukraine anymore. there's no way back, wasn't with an s mutants. i hope there will be peace again. that's what we fat for love yet, and i was your but 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 as you can me time a rush as a top diplomat, mr. sort of a laughter officer emphasize that moscow has long been saying it's up to the people of those regions to choose their future path. to listen to the machine from the very beginning of the special military operation. and in general in the parry 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 heard from political analyst alexander, to posit, she believes if the republics were to join russia. moscow would consider a tax on ben. it's a tax on its own sovereign territory. well, it's quite a big deal. i think of because the primary reason is the following. is that, you know, both, both republics have had enough of their civilian being constantly show by ukrainian artillery. and i think also russia said enough of it,

because obviously i 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 contributed 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. and i think i really, personally, i'm glad for the population of both republics. amid the news on the plan to referendum in the regions ukrainian forces have reportedly shell, does apple orgy nuclear power plant. again,

that is according to local authorities. and in fact, they say the cooling system of the atomic facility has now been damaged and as ukrainian forces do continue to target residential areas. the deadly shelling of the next city on monday claim the lives of teens civilians including 2 children. as we understand that the a, at least 8 others were injured in the artillery a type on a crowded public area. we also want to stand. it was nato shells that were being used. i should warn you, you may find the following images disturbing. our so we heard about it from independent journalist even bought lead,

who arrived at the scene shortly after the strike. she shared her disturbing experience with us. 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. now that over the world, hunger crisis has certainly been in the spotlight of this at the un general assembly in the past 24 hours. as a secretary general, antonio good terrace has drawn the world's attention to that of the supply problem with fertilizer saying products like fertilizer must never be sanctioned be not most uh, gently addressed the global foot, the eliza market crunch, vizier, the world as enough foods. the problem is these 3 bushes, but if the fertilizer market is not stabilized, next year's problem might be food supplied itself. it is essential to continue removing all remaining obstacles to the exports of russian fertilizers and that ingredients, including ammonia. these products are not subject to sanctions. earlier, the original african director of the humanitarian aid organization. it's cold

concerns world wide, but demanded the international community. stepping to tackle the famine which has been only exacerbated by nearly a perpetual drought. the waiting game must stop. now we are scaling up our response, but we need the resources to help all those affected equally. if we are to contain the situation. a number of states also wrote a letter to the international community, pleading for its health in combating the world wide hunger situation. earlier in the program, fear rel isabelle joined me here in the studio with details. there is an open letter that seeks to address this question of literally life and death. and this letter has been signed by over 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 little 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 it won't have 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 too, is that the sort of draws attention as to how politicians have been ignoring the poorest countries to for the wealthier countries. we've seen the media and the 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 monitoring 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. when you talk about global re sponsors, 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 8 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 i'm 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 contacts, it's not so that's about 13 percent. 23 out of 169 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. why don't we are 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 food security over fuel supplies. because as we know, sanctions have affected europe in the, in terms of the gas and 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 call that president couldn't made attempts to yes, grade to the developing nations that are in need. and it is of course being blots were due to lead you to me legitimate sanctions are being imposed. there will be no pressure is being exerted on all vector. you can hear from unfortunately, gra, 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 and russian energy for food and fertilizers to watermark even. and in this context, through the higher of cynicism,

is that even our offer you transfer 300000 to tons of russia, fertilizers are getting long, and your pin ports is due to sanctions to countries in need for re would i want to emphasize it remains and answer them, 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 is 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 on the topic or the president of the rwandan political party for democracy in liberty made a rather controversial statement, ultimately saying europe's approach towards the hunger crisis casts a grim shadow on the western and quote, champion of human rights position. haven't us. now we had a day for the prizes, you know, was, and many times people to bury the program in the war between new russia and crimes

. but if you see that the rope is countries of that to you of the for the to produce before or after the time. there is if for the prize is the door to the coffee shop you on you money. right? but how big chunk a new money, right? if you use the food and you know that all that countries that they need for a do use a code for the to produce the board for which an act of economic racism. that's how you gander has slammed a new e u resolution that's trying to block an oil pipeline building project, citing alleged environmental and human rights abuses, ugandan parliament's deputy speaker brian to the move as a step against 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 tanzania. 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 mail. 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, 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 dimension and the 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 zenia, stand ready to take their feet into their own hands and time of course for their own destiny. and that if taught towel pulls out, they will be ready to find another partner. well, one international policy consultant that we heard from believes it's wrong for the you to interfere and uganda's economic policy. it should be at the end of the day sovereign

because right now they are working on getting from another african nigeria. and i plan is expected to be about 600 kilometers to bring natural gas here because it's not been if you got the pipeline deal, you're making noise and they're trying to come down. another sovereign state, personal and above average, is about 2 percent of the emissions and ask for accounting about 17 percent global population. the lifeline and the development of the oil is going to have benefits for the economy. people right to do what they believe is best for their people and invest the stream service, and it's not fit for your company to do it's good to have you with us for this program now to a religious rights controversy. as india's supreme court is presiding over an

appeal by a large group of muslim students, soft school girls were banned from classes for wearing a hid. job of various indian advocacy groups denounced the lower court decision. that's one of quote, robbing women of an education is all correspondent runjun sharma in the south and in state of karnataka. in february this, your muslim 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 is 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 job within to allow them to do so. now the cotton india dorothy young, muslim,

goes to make a terrible choice between medication and what they see as their feet. now the keys has reached in del, supreme court, and it's 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 controversy 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 there. many of those have already dropped out in canada that as are coming that 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 pinky go, how can the court judges or hinder men decide 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 been 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, maybe set backwoods region shar mall or t. you deli, a 10 year old girl has reportedly been shot in the head. this during demonstrations in iran, over the death of a woman arrested for violating strict dress codes and warning you may find the following image is disturbing. now as we understand the go to set to be in a critical condition of the incident in the western city of con, they have already been

stepping aside for rachel blevins. she'll be right here very soon with more of your world wide. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time to sit down and talk today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanction foreign companies, quitting russia, numbers on to one. thank you. this client atm card to bluffton bangs disconnected from the international payment system. the social move hoppey journal,

donna and euro exchange rates follow up on a level up article the more so. so what are what the committee met that evoke this, the billing address that is the current. can you say, i don't know? sure. c, m a j a. suppose you can russian business overcome this song. so you knew i bought it enough to handle huge, tremendously just me. don't pros, voice, bullshit, national, productive notches, steel dash, a mere bull. what i see, i put themselves when you come when you with that, what are you got any of your mind or not? but i see, so press a key to cost to get a group when you, when you're speaking with dr. numbness, listening, cuckoo, the schools a delusion will look a little bit, you know, the mutual problems with

in the ukranian. oligarchs, private armies murdering sug had a salary of $1300.00 a month for this. the well nationalists battalion fighters who will be on the control of the regular army to do the dirtiest work, but not even the ukrainian special services to perform. the mother ship cranes cannot leave us putting in line. it must go great unit of just opponents and the cream. so ours would important. and if you need, then you can still get out of the below sort of the option you do. you really was focused on the me to be like, ah,
