a vote in favor of it. all these events have shown that we have one path, the sooner the better. without russia, we have no future levels in and on last already to vote, and they don't want to waste any time in doing so. because people there and ukraine goes on and off road here. regions offset to hold a referendum to join russia in the next few days with all the international is just go on 811 a m here in the russian capital. i'm right mommy and we're glad you've joined us. it's been a busy day here. so farm, good luck to talk about. let's get started with the top story. today's present moment announced a partial med fee mobilization in russia during his morning address to the nation.

she luna, peggy, mom to protect our homeland sovereignty territorial integrity and to ensure the security of our people. i consider it necessary to support the proposal of the minister of defense to conduct partial mobilization in russia. i repeat, we're talking only about partial mobilization. we'll put that his own citizens who are currently in the reserve. it will be subject to conscription and only those with prior military experience who have served in the army. they will also go through additional training where the degree for the partial mobilization has been signed and will begin today, september 21st. that's why we're now joined by all t 's, maria finacialow. she's here with me in the studio, maria a big day ahead. we've had the russian person just talked to us this morning. ah, what do you make of the whole statement i had used? how do you see it? yeah, i. moran air 15 minute televised page early on wednesday flyer, my potent announced partial mobilization across russia. that starts straight away

white my potent at its dressing, that only those who have combat experience or military specializations. those from the countries melcher reserve. and those who have already been serving military service here in russia will be mobilized. and also he added that all those troops will 1st before going to the front or at the having additional special military training. and i have to say that this statement didn't come as a surprise, as moscow has repeatedly been warning key about a number of red lines, better not to be cross, but as you know, things at the front have recently been very tough. and just recently ukraine with huge support of it's western allies with a lot of western weapons. and a huge number of our foreign fighter is on bear side and started counter offensive. and a huge part of how to complete that had been under the control of the russian forces and united forces of people's republic of danielle van logan's sing,

sprain has being taken back of a forest. this is something that russia cannot ignore, ignore and light report and sad that while he seems not to be ready to stop it and necessary sap mobilize ation. and also he said that this is actually a duty of russia. let's take a listen. when you motion mimi him, we cannot let and we have no moral right to hand or were people close to matter to be torn to pieces by execution, lose them. we have to respond to their sincere desire to determine their own fate. the parliament of the people's republic of don battling, as well as the military civil administration of the course on ends up rogia regency, and decided to hold referendums on the future of these territories and turned to us to russia with a request to support such a step was we know that the majority of people living in the territories liberated from neo nazis. we showed the primary historical lance of nub irosia to now i want to be under the oppression of a neo nazi regime ins up rogia in the personal region in august and honest. they

have seen and are seen the atrocities committed by neo nazis in the occupied areas of the heart of regency. so these layers of been deborah and nasty, punish her skilled people, not torture on throw them into prison. it's settled scores and mach civilian way to deal with that, but also thinking after the president defense minister saturday show go give a little bit more details on mobilization. he says that currently there are 25000000 people here in russia eligible, former let mobilization, but we are now talking only about 300000 people mobilize. and he also emphasized that university students and those who are currently serving military service here, russia will not be mobilized. and he stressed that all those additional troops will go to the font not to take part. and you are fancy fed to how keep the rain take him territories and provide additional control over these regions. i said more of a security thing that with all the sort of an, amid the mobilization of military to the region that could change the status quo of

the sil emergency operation. a wide may put new stress that the status of moscow special military operation on the ground does not change with this recent announcement and will continue according to the plan. and while wide more potent sad, the west is actually into which in rush and eventually destroy a russia, the aim of the russian operation on the ground is to counter these efforts in my report. and also remind that that russia did that already in the past. and will do it again, stopping all those seeking to control the world. let's take a listen. what got me putting had to say was in our country possesses various weapons. and in some components, there are more advanced than what nato countries have under threats or countries integrity to protect rush in our people who will use every possible means. and we are not bluffing. russian people can be sure. those trying to blackmail us with

nuclear weapons. they must know the boomerang will hit them back. i have to say these are strong words and a very serious warning and defense minister, saturday show go. also talked about that so called collective west is currently fighting on key have side and out at least 18 made to set lies are currently at ukraine service. so russia simply cannot to sit and watch this large scale operation against people of the dumbass region and eventually of russia are just watch it now. so they have to step in your assaye right. me, maria, thanks so much for joining me here in this year today was a pleasure to lose it. right. so move on. now ross, in the 1st minutes the all the reported on the losses of the russian and ukrainian forces saying that the ukraine army has suffered, made in losses despite active mobilization and the flow of mercenaries to fight forgive. over at this time,

please. erica household this ours has more than issue 100. 2000 people are loss or subsidy to charlottesville treated him to 5937 men who died to moses were speaking. ballard is almost 2500000 people. so b as portal mobilization is like birds, one percent made slightly more and was been that 1 point one percent may be each 100. so the total number of so worse of motherly sanction rates were these right now let's go live to dr. andre thomas. housing is a german attorney and a meritus, a professor of law in south africa. so thanks so much for joining us in an odd c. now the president made his statement this morning, 9 a m local time. what are your thoughts over the statement? but he made well, i have been my whole life or professor of international law. so i immediately thought again of united nations charter to go to section 3 and for

section 3 is very important. because in it all states commit themselves to conduct all of their policies in peaceful way in a peaceful manner. and they accept that the use of force is reserved to the united nation. and this means, as i used to tell my students in their 1st year, it means that even if a state doesn't wrong as committed a wrong in terms of international law, it does not entitle any other states or any other group of things. to engage in a belligerent manner, for instance, to conduct a blockade or in they cannot make war or 2 stocks at calling for the fraction. in this case, for destruction of russia, even, even from the highest level, from the commission of the european union, we could hear things like russia must be, must be thrown back into the pre industrial area, the era. so this is

a conduct which is era consolidated with a fundamental duties of international law. we see vast propaganda, aggressive war mongering across the western world. and this has led to this situation where actually nature is conducting a proxy war against russia. following on decades of plan, how to destroy russia and the sixty's nato had officially released plans that in all detail, all logistic detail anticipated launching $3500.00 nuclear bombs on russia to kill at least 200000000 people. and as they said, hopefully over 300000000 people, obviously russia has always felt the fence of has always felt the need to have a strong defense capability. and this latest turn, over the last 6 months,

have now led to a deplorable escalation, where all reserves in russia have not been called up. this will triple the strength of the russian military in the, in the fighting zones and the fighting areas that said necessary for the protection of the civilian population. those areas of city are, you know, every country has a right to defend itself and certain things will now with the referendum coming up on. don't boss care those up, roger, these regions did isn't gonna change this little. the full body of the, the special ed operation in the region. is it good? will the western countries be able to see this in a different light? well, already the western politicians have hurried to express their outrage. and to

issue new threats, german chancellor showed says even richard, an outrageous statement for a german chancellor that he would see to it, that the german defense force becomes bigger and stronger than the russian. and these threats have all been forthcoming. the surrender will take place regardless. they will create a new situation because if the referenda are in favor of an integration to russia, nanette and lance become russian national sovereign territory. and any attack from long range missiles that american tends to give to you, to ukraine, to the ukraine. current government would result actually in a war between nato and russia. so that is quite serious. on the other hand, or the west to relax a bit because the secession of south sudan,

the situation of kosovo, the dismemberment. all the former yugoslavia, all those were incidents where referenda were held, where, where the people's wishes were respected or were allowed to be articulate. so in this case, i think one should, one should actually observe these referenda, united nations might be able to calm the international situation by sending electron observers as they do with all reference collections at to see what really is what really all the wishes of those people was hope so, and that actually does work. and the creative west recognizes the people in the region one dr. andre tolmas, housing. those always thank you so much for joining us here at our c. we'll speak again soon. right on the correspondent mariah garza, i'm senior correspondent,

i think right and got the of is in the region which is anticipating the referendum and he gives us this report. at this point, it is worth bearing in mind that the situation on the ground has, has changed rapidly compared to what it was, what russia but god, this conflict. but it went to, to ukraine with professional contracts on the, which is less than 200200000 met. at this point the military hardware that you crave has at the south of this conflict. almost all of this is gone, replaced by what nato has supplied. the ukrainian military at this point is the ukranian military of the name. it is paid for by native. it is fed by nato countries with aid from various organizations. it is armed almost entirely, with what it has received from nato countries. and this continues the goals of the

russian special operation and ukraine may be the same. the de not suffice the country to disarm it, to protect the people of la, god's can, and the nets. but don't boss, but the parameters have rapidly changed. boucher has realized that just needs more to when this is conflict at any reasonable time. fresh and you can also hear it. so it is apparent that the fredric marble shifted away from, from cities and populous areas because this rain of like cells does it n american high most missiles, most of all, most a short job but, but most of course isn't all, many of them lives in here so nobody can focus where they are, where they hit residential buildings, apartment building, or something clicked on bus 2, this endless shelling his has robbed people, people who were even pro ukrainian when russian forces entered many of them,

a refund, it left physicians because of it because of this because it is walton, but bombardment just come to school like he of sources from, from russia. i just push vocalization is why we definitely look what i have effort to witness will conflict sooner rather than later, to prevent the nato in the a and ukraine. from, from dragging it out with supplies of new weapons with new, with new soldiers trained the great britain with in european are in european countries. new armies raised 4 key haven't paid for by navy. so certainly a very big development. and it remains to be seen how quickly is fresh russian forces will enter the fray for as continue about this would. now when we discussing this subject again, let's go live now to dublin and discuss this topic with independence. jason michael

. jason, thanks a lot for joining us here. nazi now we've had the presence are communist speech. if you like this or say this morning. i was just over 2 hours ago moscow time. but when you heard it, or what did you think of it? well, i believe that all mister putin has said has fundamentally shifted the arithmetic of the war from the center of the special military operation. it was said that there would need to be a $3.00 to $1.00 ratio. if this was to be a war, you know, that was an in any way to be effective in holding territory. well, the a partial or general mobilization allowing effectively russian forces to travel in size would change that ratio and certainly would stem largely, the nato objectives and the ukranian regimes attempts to, to stand russell control think, okay, so with the growth of,

or we know that the the mobilization of military personnel will be this is, will support the region to keep it sort of safe if you like, or not so much as an aggression, but with the referendum sort of coming out as well in the next week or so. is that going to change the status quo of the this military operation will need to see it differently. do thank well, they're effectively 2 questions. they are the, the 1st thing i would see, but yes, the fundamentally changes things. because if these referenda go ahead on the indications, look that look to be that the population, all at each of the lines with an x k, would choose to join the russian federation. if that happens, then this becomes a need, you know, russian solvent territory. mr. burton has made it clear from the beginning that he

would defend russia had a teddy vigorously. so yes, that definitely changes the dynamic of the conflict. the other part of your question there is, will need to respect this. well, no, natal won't respect this at all. this, this is quite clearly even a pull. francis has said that natal has been knocking on roger's door trying to provoke this war for a long time. and that's much we've read in the rand corporation. you know, the us think time hoping to extend the de stabilize russia. this is clearly a conflict, but natal as an instrument of u. s. foreign policy. it's looking for so no, no, that the development doesn't really change anything as far as natal confirmed. and this morning, i'm sorry, please go ahead. no, no that's that's, that's all i had to say. so, i mean, so this morning when the russian president made the statement or made the statement how these are like, i know that the newspapers in the west so to speak,

or you know, how they react with how to expect other western countries of react to this statement, are they likely to mobilize more troops? are we likely to see perhaps a more weapons being sent to craig? you, craig, or can we expect a know maybe a you as a expect someone to go in there and watch the referendum and see that everything's going well and then accept vats as the status quo? well, it's very difficult to predict what will happen. we know that when, after the incident reported an booker, near the beginning of the conflict north of yet, and the, the russian delegation to the security council was stymied by the united kingdom. so how much the united nations are controlled by the yellow, the so called collect the west,

the west of the democratic states. how much of an instrument then the united nations is going to be for western power here is that that hub to gauge at this point in time. and the, the attitude in the west is in certainly as far as the media is confirmed, that he gone whole we are, you know, you're one of your gas played with listening to spoke about. an incredible, you know, level of propaganda. and yes, western western media is just on, on a war footing, whether or not, not war 13 is followed by western government. it's, it's one thing to safe, a rattle. certainly if it's the daily mail that you know that the guardian doing the paper rattling, that's one thing. it's another thing when russia mobilizes will, will the javelin chancellor, keep goods on his tracks. you know, there's one thing to be a war with former uter,

last 8 or african states or in the middle east. it's another thing for the west to take seriously the prospect of war with russia. this is, this would be a war that would very much people in europe. so, you know, it's se in, you know, writ large as hope they doesn't lead to more escalation in war. jason, michael, thank you. thanks so much for joining me today. and auntie was a pleasure, was against him. okay, thank right. the russian president types on an urgent topic that's been making headlines these last 24 hours an express is absolute support for the referendums. and now it's in a dumbass, as well as the chasm. and that regions, let's take a look. but alignment the metal public them, but the parliament on the logins can don this republics and administration of the upper lot you in person regions made a decision about carrying out referenda about the future of this regions. and they

appeal to us to rush to support their decision. i would like to emphasize what we'll do, everything to provide safe conditions to hold the referenda money so that they could express their will and make the decision about their future and their decision that will be made by the majority of the people of the don asking against people's republics of the person ends up or roger regions, we will support the decision. was both asked, as republics, as was 2 regions in ukraine have announced they will be holding referendums on whether to become part of russia. voting in and dumbass above. if i knew things kaz on that ridge regions will be held from september, the 23rd, the 27th. we spoke to locals and they say this could pay the way for these this is a vote in favor of it. i have an extremely positive view of this is exactly what

we've been waiting for since 2014. our people have suffered a lot for the idea of joining russia. all these events have shown that we have one path. it should be done as soon as possible, so we hope that no one will attack russian territory. it. i will war which in favor, because it's time to become part of russia who have been wait impatiently for e t is. we're tired of the whole situation with this region must return to its home . the time has come so the decision must be made. i will vote yes so that there will be no more shelling and everything will work out so that we live as we did before. we've been heading towards this for a long time, 8 years. it should have been done a long time ago, and very happy about this. i think life will become more stable, that there will be protection. maybe the war will and sooner i'll vote in favor of it also. we've wanted to return home for a long time since 2014, the sooner the better. without russia, we have no future where he's vote,

who is the head of the zebb, rosier region has said the authorities will do everything possible to ensure the safety for those who want to express their will literally a you've got to look up a sheet. i'm sure that i see the nations will i drive around separation region and the vast majority of races 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 fight on and shed the blood of citizens who just want to express their will to be part of the russian unity. everything possible will be done to ensure security. mccrae thursdays have warned local that any such

referendum is forbidden, as they say, oh goodness, as we'll face up to a decade in jail. and anyone who participates in it will be imprisoned for 5 is my colleague, rory sushi spoke with a pile of guests who said residence in those regions would be deterred from voting because of such threats. bearing guns? absolutely. absolute. my. ready judy is cert, understanding for what we have fighting for. ready 8 years here to get food recognized from the russian federation and, and to get back home. that is the, the mood what has been here for years. and it has been defended against a brutal at that. oh, the give forces cross, lot of people were awaiting that for 8 years. so people are really impatient to be able to voice their choice. i and, but of course people are a bit afraid about the,

the security because we have the massacre which are cured in the center of the nets care just due to a shedding from the ukraine, an army. and so there are a lot of questions about that from people, but people are really willing to, to voice their choice. i think the swift random will take place correctly and legally because it was the desire of the people off they don't boss to have thought to me from under. what really matters here is the this is c o. ready shawn, i, corporation, organization, if the countries on back there regular nice us if, if the breach countries will recognize us and, and out so that we can get to the movie. ready by world ukraine says the referendums will change. nothing. is that really the mood and key of? no, no, i seems from the information we have from ukrainian telegram channels. that to there is a mood of fan aching. their own president to cabinets in bunkerville

because of course i understand that the frontline and after in russian territory, then it means that russia can officially declare war against ukraine for them. it means that the last 6 months would have been the like, the nice path in heaven compared to what to weighed them. well, i wrote up things for now be sure to check out all see though calling for more news updates. nicky allen will be here on the top of the hour with more stories from around the world, especially the reactions of crows and put it from now. we'll see a look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must

obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful that official intelligence at that point obviously is to makes trust rather than fear. i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with does the european union have a death wish it would seem so ramp and inflation growing energy and security, demanding unquestioning solidarity regarding ukraine and punishing democratically elected governments are only some of the blocks maladies. to make things worse,

there's a dangerous leadership deficit. no, you guys, well born, got thought a whistle motion the it's a bit i'd say as a, that's a business. i am the business. but i don't bus morisha. he has no way i want machine . yeah. but i'm glad what my doctor barton is, that's new. my likely memo or business. let's across that a metric sydney with . 6 to he's a big oh i'm sure if this on my mike, what they base last a huge amount of big a lot of time that it was almost a big. i mean when i was on the thrush, no one quarter or missouri in the summer buy it. there's no.
