the donetta gun new guns republic say they've been waiting for this moment ever since the government was overthrown in the country. it was 8 years ago now as his roman catholics at how the water donuts republic as hoping the vote might finally bringing about that of peace for safety reasons. the 1st 4 days of the vote will take place on the street through right next to people's homes. and especially designated areas where people can come and load right now with joins especially forms a referendum commission who are walking around the street here in done as candor. people are coming over to them to get registered, and to cast their vote in this referendum to join or not to join russia. now i spoke with a member of the commission on as this year, and she is shared with me how the people have been taking everything that's been

going on today. it's our job is to get around the residence, find out their opinions on their f random. people have been waiting for this for a very long time. but you were walking along with the referendum committee along the streets of jeanette's walking into people's houses, asking them if they want to cast their ballots. whether they want their nets, people's republic, to become a part of russia or not. once again ringing another doorbell, here. let's see if anyone's home with my father is from the curse region. i was born here. my grandfather is from russia. all my adult life. i have been under the soviet rule i studied their work there. i'm very glad, honestly, my heart sings in fact, in ukraine, after all, no one cares. every thing is for the rich. but after all, i do hope everything will be good. we've been waiting for this for

a long time. i'll be happy to vote for the reunion. russia is a great country. i'm a ukrainian myself and living in ukraine under soviet rule. i was glad that i lived in such a country, and now i do not accept the current ukraine. i can't accept it, considering what they're doing. i'm very happy that others that is sort of the least joy. this is the only thing i feel the finally we waited now the referendum will be held. it will become easier than if we were patient nervous, afraid, and let's hope that everything will get better and, but i don't, that wouldn't be the actual shanella. it's yes, this is a very significant event for all the people have done bosses as many didn't fully believe and probably will want precisely because all this time would try to believe and hope. you see that a huge number of people, grandmothers and young people come to vote for unification. it seems to me, this is the same impulsively united people that south that will want to be together

with russia. in 2014, i was also here. it was a single impulse of all the people, a huge impulse. the referendum will be held over a period of 5 days. this was done for safety reasons because the ukranian nationalist forces continue bombing residential areas of done as for the 1st 4 days . ah, the referendum will be held at people's homes. there will be stations just like this one where residents are able to come in and vote. they provide their documents, their passports. i get set registers and cast their vote, which laid cert let against put it into this box, and it will be counted at a later date. now once again, the voting is done in this fashion in order to prevent further tragedies of the past 24 hours. at least 7 people had been killed right in this center of the

as kansas scores had been wounded over the next people's republic. now balling, stations will open on the 27th of september. it will be the final day. and of course a local residents are holding the outcome will be positive and they will be able to join russia. room on call for have already done as the old republic. and another region of course voting on whether or not to join russia today is, is up at ology. at the following footage, are showing queues at polling stations and hurt us on animals to hold. the military and of police are ensuring security as we understand now, all voting stations were swept for explosives before they opened. but despite the potential threats, people have been keen to cast their ballots on for now old does remain fairly quiet in that region. i believe that only with russia we will be able to revive our region, raise the economy, medicine education,

revive the industries that her son region was famous for in soviet times and give a new impetus to our economy. i cast my vote for joining in russia. yes, i'm a mister final word to me of the point on the way out home. the mood is excellent. i wanted for russia from my home, from my motherland, and i want to come back home. i just want to come back home for the little kiss on has always been a russian city. they say that for a person, the native language is the one in which his mother read fairytale to him in childhood. they read to me in russian when now one of the voting stations here in cat a song. these have been set up all over the city, along with these members of the electoral commission. are going flat to flat house to house collecting people vote. because despite the fact that already thousands of people in kennesaw and city in the province itself have voted, there's been a lot of intimidation. they've been threats acts of terror. and the reason she says,

of course, was budman song with, with me, solves, with rockets by the ukrainian military. the ukranian side nationalists have also threatened people. they have told them to stay away from looting stations for. busy their own safety taken at face value. it is believe that they want to target these losing stations to keep people away away from the referendum way from expressing themselves nevertheless. so far things have been. com. security has of course been beefed up. there is a lot of tension, but as i mentioned, thousands of already voted and more and more voting with every hour. perhaps like pictures for you right now. you can see on the screen behind the central moscow, it's a rally in support of the efforts of the people to protect those of dawn bass right there. you're looking at a crowd on, on red square is what it's nearly 10 pas 5 pm. now. guest speaker on stage in an

awful lot of people and it's, i don't hear again read squares control moscow life pitcher is now in other russian regions that also shows of support for the referendums that are currently being stay at this very moment. was a smart live to 7 guy as a professor of the institute of our european studies in belgrade to further discuss our top story today. great to see you. we, we do know that western leaders have never accepted the referendums where the pastoral presence but, but um, what about the people on the street? i mean, is the average everyday person a day buying what the media is selling or old? is there any other other side of the story perhaps? or if we're speaking about the western societies, i think that most of people are broadly buying the story because they live under immense propaganda pressure. and even if you would like to me think of the been are macey narrative. ah, they would be sung missing courage. i would say that this is them kind of

a ha ironically not the ukrainian think. you know why? because of this is the very reason why i random are happening. it is, the reading from fear is what motivates that equal all the readers that are wanting now. and i must add that, that to the extent that they are disappointed because we want this baton 8 you to the go. i have to remind you that a massacre will stay in odessa. ah, because people you live on the he hoarsely came to power in kiev. answer to so hold the room. i then and they were killed also a singer, humor, things happen over the regions are holding now. and you know how to read the brain as well. i mean article or was already standing and it was

really a force you go back under, under the will all of the key regime. and i would particularly like to do after this region because these people have really a loss of trust. and 714000 people, 14000 people in east ukraine have been killed since the, my don qu of 2014. now let's talk about this. the western press, how many you need to know how many, how many were, were, were torture of, and kill without cameras? without anybody know anyone knowing about that even prominent figures such as your journalist, colleague, all it was you know, was killed in give aware of the results of misuse who was arrested for that well, but, well, i mean, 7 listlessness draw attention. you mentioned, you mentioned crimea a few moments ago. the referendum was held there in march, which was 2014. now in the western press was there in attendance. they were

a bit confused as to what to say. they called it a shot referendum. they said that no one was showing up, but then the cameras i see and cameras panning across the corresponding a former colleague of mine, michael holmes. he was like, well, we've got grandparents, we got parents, we bought grandkids, the red lining, the streets, the western press cut the signals of very quickly. they didn't want any one to see that people were voting that he, we are with more referendums taking place. but the western media, i'm not seeing it of course not. and even if they mentioned, i mean there were certain will certainly not mentioned a referendum, but the words they're going to use is a stage the rig and so on and so forth. i mean, they are making a like alice in the mirror because that is that everything is your position what they're saying. because people wanted this your friend and 8 years ago and they are really tired of being late. also, lee,

i'm having to hide their own thoughts, you know, only imagine what kind of a fortune you went through over the last 8 years, especially a russian speakers. and anybody want to show any sympathy for russia and with what i would, that's just good stuff. and i mean, you mentioned that i do facebook any jumping in, but you know, you mentioned that by mentioning any, some sympathy for russia and you pretty much get in really big trouble very quickly . i mean, let's just, let's just be clear about this right now. the western media, of course, is controlled and operated by the very western and nato countries that russia is fighting right now and ukraine. so it's no surprise that going to be condemning the referendums. but what does it mean? 7. what does it mean for the people of these areas who cost that votes in the referendums, but the west forever will refuse to recognize the results. it means security and freedom. busy of thought,

freedom of expression because these people are the ones who said, who did not flee what remained of ukraine officer, that 2014 are the ones who had to hide and do really need or even become victims of the whole syndrome on syndrome is when you, when the victim of applying the person that is, that is a so this all a especially not today. and what is the problem is that this media is controlled by the corporations who are in one way or another, connected with the size of this conflict. they are still trying to hold this monopoly in truth that was established, i would say in the early ninety's 99, i was trying to convince me that they're only just covering and not really

having any agenda behind this coverage. and then we obviously would be 4 used to be called the 3rd world, basically, or the majority of humanity stuff. and it's so much like the european leaders. western lead isn't an immediate, it's almost like they're totally in bed together. i mean they, they complicit that they're really working together here. 7 guys. i wish we have more time just don't. but professor, the institute of european studies in belgrade really appreciate that. thanks for having a chat with us. we will of course, keep you fully updated here. analogy international with the very latest news, its a 5 day referendum, ultimately deciding the fate of several 1000000 people we are backs. ah, it's good to have your company today. the chief of on the land has warned italy of

consequences. should it vera away from a liberal democratic principles ahead of elections this weekend where right when candidates are expected to win in a landslide, will cease the outcome of the elections. we have just elections in sweden to if things go in a difficult direction. i've spoken about anglian, holland, we have tools are causing a lot now while contributor rachel moss and hi rachel, good to see you again. oh, so vandella and she's just making a lot of pit stop these days, putting out some pretty big speeches or some of the highlights, please. yeah, there she's saying basically hey, if they want to be wise guys, we have tools. you commission president ursula vander line, spends a few hours at princeton university, there in new jersey and starts talking like tony soprano like some kind of mob boss . what kind of tools should or could she be talking about? well, we seen how the e u has used financial blackmail against member states by threatening to withhold

funds and harassment by branding them as authoritarian pariahs when they don't adequately adhere to the agenda, dictated by the unelected bureaucrats and brussels for were italian vice prime minister mateo sal vini, part of the conservative coalition that's favored to win in the election this weekend was outraged by vonda lanes remarks. what is this a threat? shameful arrogance, respect the free democratic and sovereign vote of the italian people. a couple of euro deputies from solving these league a party have also now demanded that the european commission clarify what vander line was, meaning when she was making those remarks. we've already seen how the u. the self styled arbiter of all things democratic treats its members states that don't fall in line with what it considers to be acceptable just last week that you moved to cut hungary funding under the pretext that it was no longer

a quote full democracy. well, ukraine isn't either, and vander lane keep saying how badly she wants it in the you. and how keith is fighting for european values like democracy and that european business cash and just freely flow in wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that ukraine has on board with the use anti russian agenda. we're as hungry as ignored the blocks anti russian sections, so called undemocratic hungry is actually set to pull its own citizens to gauge how they feel about sanctions. that's obviously more than can be said for other you countries who have had no qualms in downloading the increased costs of sanctions, policies cooked up in brussels on to their own citizens and warning them of looming energy rationing blackouts and de industrialization and then giving them absolutely no say in the matter, which is why we're seeing an increased number of protests across the block from france to germany, degrees to the czech republic. they have no democratic outlet to express themselves

on this issue. remember what german foreign minister and alina bear box said, added democracy, conference of all things in prague earlier this month. have a listen. we stent a wis ukraine, as long as they need us, no matter what, my german vote a thing, but i want to deliver to the people of ukraine. and this means every measure i'm taking. i have to be clear that this holds on as long as ukraine meets me. me, me, me, i, i am democracy. that's the kind of lingo he get constantly from taught. you officials from bare rock to vander lane. sometimes the truth just comes out and judging by the remarks democracy in the minds of e. leaders is apparently something that only exists within the narrow confines of what they allow the little people to do or to have all right, ought to contribute rachel moss and lie from paris. thank you. now

a report commissioned by facebook's parent company meta has been released in which it admits to violating the free speech of palestinian uses. the pre approved was our cold following a widespread complaints about facebook and instagram monitoring of content during a flare up of violence between israel and gaza in may of last year. met is actually in may 2021 appear to have had an adverse human rights impact on the rights of palestinian users to freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, political participation and non discrimination. and therefore, on the ability of palestinians to share information and insights about their experiences as steer kurt of the classroom are triggered by israel and victim with families from a neighborhood in east jerusalem. so $256.00 palestinians killed. we understand that include more than 60 children as israel launched as drugs, many palestinians to the social media, well sure what was going on,

but they found that posts were getting deleted and pro palestinian hashtags were being repressed. no matter claims, there was no intentional bias but admits a great deal of work still needs to be done. but he was ready. police commissioner, meanwhile, a once a more radical reason. this is already wool. the social media networks were the ones that drove people out. i'm talking about a broad shut down of the networks. put our com everything down when the situation is come open back up. we are a democratic country, but there is a limit. lot more our time to cross live to a garza base activist seizure to show never thank you very much for joining us here on the program today. appreciate your patience. so were you surprised at all by the findings of the report, particularly as it was met? apparently admitting its own failures. thank you so much for hosting me today. what

you said you had, i think we've just that we've just had a bit of a problem with the connection. it's a rory sushi here at moscow. i do believe you can still hear me, but what i was asking you, are you surprised by the findings of the report apparently made a matter that the parent company a facebook admitting that they screwed up the actually therefore the emitter announced is not something surprising. we did, we did not surprised it because we know that the facebook full of lake is against the kelsey and content of from like too long ago. and we know that the palestinian and the pro palestinian activist frequently held or held. we can say some campaigns on social media regarding this issue, which is restricting the palestinian like accounts and social media special for

folk. and regarding the like restricting the policy and content. so i don't guess that it is something surprising at all. we know that from like years ago, it is continually pull, continuing or ongoing policy against policy and content actually. so as you were saying and as the report as well says that it reveals a palestinian voices were being suppressed. is there a potential consequence of that? i mean, do you think pal student is going to feel like they have to be more invigorated to try and get their voice is heard? you mean the consequences regarding good this policy, right? because i can't hear you. well listen, we're gonna, we're going to reestablish connection here so we can have a better, more fluent compensation says your dish and our a garza based activist standby will be in contact with you soon. thank you for your

time and right now to the russian foreign minister, sokulaf ralph is accused the collective west of escalating a conflict in ukraine and ultimately turning a blind eye to its war crimes. he made these claims while addressing the un security council. the shoe so study was more such atrocities became possible and remained unpunished due to the fact that the united states and his allies had been systematically covering up the crimes of the key of regime for 8 years. building their policy towards zalinski based on a well known american principle. he is, of course, a son of a, but he's our son of all eyes were on the security council chamber when we heard from the russian foreign minister, sir gay lab rav now he choked to the floor of the 15 member body. that leads the united nations, and he gave remarks exposing all of these facts that are widely ignored and international, and us aligned media. when he spoke,

he pointed out that while the united states seems to continue to maintain the idea that the government based in kiev is some kind of democracy, the reality of their actions on the ground with their food blockades and their suppression of political dissidents just doesn't match that narrative, here's what we heard from the russian foreign minister at the security council nichol, fornia solicitation that was the position of those states that pump military equipment into ukraine. a cynical and it doesn't hide the fact that they want to deplete, and we can russia by prolonging the conflict. the collective west kindles the fire and it does so with impunity. you won't really punish yourself, will you? this is not late and racism against russia, but outright racism. now the russian foreign minister also described other realities of what is taking place on the ground. he described the burning of both books and people by forces that admire those who collaborated with the nazis during the 2nd world war and are pushing pro hitler narratives in ukrainian society. he

went on to furthermore describe ha, how weapons provided by the united states are being used to commit crimes against civilians. and how there has been a huge effort by russia to document these crimes. despite being ignored largely by international bodies. here's what he said. but at the music you hello, you know, military or strategic targets were hitting the settlement show by ukraine. only civilian residents of dumbass have been made to suffer. it's not surprising that the ukrainian armed forces employ terrorist tactics using civilians as human shields. now, the russian foreign minister made a point of pointing out that soon the people of these eastern regions will have the ability to determine their own future in upcoming referendums, where they will vote on the future of their regions. this ability to determine their own destiny as people was deprived of them when the united states imposed a government upon them in the 2014 year old maiden cube. it was quite an important

moment when we heard from russian foreign minister, sir gay labrat. he was able to point out all kinds of realities that the united states and its allies have worked very, very hard to obscure and prevent the world from seeing in their efforts to demonize and isolate russia and continue. this war is also close to the inspirational leadership oath of that in the routing of a serious leadership of abroad. him is an entity open mouth insert foot, former u. k. prime minister boris johnson. a bit of a slip up there, praising vladimir putin for his inspirational leadership and made the ongoing ukraine conflict details for you at asi dot com. all right, so a diplomatic ties between canada and canada and india with it become a bit tense lately. as the canadian government is allowing seeks living that to conduct a referendum for a separate seek homeland in the western indian state of punjab. the indian

government has already a student advisory statement of warning as nationals about increasing violence. his, his off correspondent will give us a bit of a clearer picture on this. but engine sharma. on the 19th of this month, several men from the sea community in ontario and canada bomb the b to the record active. what was this referenda? it was essentially seek group saw and what it for whether or not the indian job should be a separate country. and these are canadian citizens, not india is trying to decide what should or shouldn't be done in india. i thought the whole issue over separate state for the see community you all call this time is concerned. talk the difference in how the india and how the canadian seeks view it . i thought it's canada concern. it's more from a political. it was the shinny. now in india, the issue is somewhat dead. the main question is,

why should it be kept alive in canada? the indian government has taken strong objection to it and expressed the canadian government for action, so called, call a stand referendum as a farcical exercise. the farcical exercise was held by the extremists and radical elements supporting the so called call stand referendum in canada and elsewhere. we find it deeply objectionable that politically motivated exercises by extremist elements are allowed to take place in a friendly country. remember, canada was an automated call, a funny separatism in the 1988 also led to one of the dentist or dice in canada, in 1985. the issue, all of the mom of called the son who was the know, so someone it comes and leaves, it comes up, it goes down, he comes up again, kind of history has taught us anything. when it comes off, it takes a toll. we see a task people use their lives especially in the community. now despite india, if.
