lou with this is our future, and the most important thing is the future of my grand daughter's associates, of the heart. my mother is russian. my father is russia. well, i am rushing to here with our teeth and after we bring you out a special coverage to don bath republics and to ukrainian regions of voting on whether or not to join that of the russian federation. the chief threatens to take action against rome. this is indeed the election that this weekend results in the government taking the country in a quote, difficult direction holds when the program tensions wretched up between canada and india off the auto refuses to stop canadian seeks conducting a referendum for

a separate c homeland and the west and indian state of couldn't job with a very well welcome to you. this is ality international, the 1st of 5 days of voting and don bass and 2 other areas on whether or not to join russia has now come to an end for day one. we have special coverage of these events. ah

so the map will give you a better idea exactly what's going on. the referendum is being held in for regions . the 1st 2, you'll know, of course don't yet scan the lucas group. public state did essentially announce their independence back in 2014. they declared themselves independent after that of via the key ever when the key of government was overthrown in 2014. that was the my dan qu, thursday was also the 1st day when people cast their ballots in that of the upper orgy region and her son as well. now, the voting does come off the days of intensified shelling of residential areas by ukrainian forces. the russian back local authorities claim that key was trying to scare people ahead of the vote. meanwhile, moscow says it will support the people's will and decision. and so i show you some pictures now from polling stations in the dawn bass region. people in both don't yet, scandal guns, republics. they say they've been waiting for this moment ever since the ukranian government was overthrown 8 years ago. now as the polling ends its 1st day turn out

and the look out for public is almost 22 percent. the head of the lugens peak people's republic has encouraged citizens to get out vote and make their voices. yet we didn't store, i'm sure the citizens of august people's republic will make their choice in favor of joining the russian federation. by making ser choice, we will obtain peace and quiet and we're going back home to our historical borders . this is what is just and right. we'll guns people's republic vote. these are the 1st people who decided to show up and cast their opinion officially, whether or not they would like their land to become part of rush. hm. now what is special pulling stations here? come to people, not the other way around. that's all due to safety concerns. now here's how it's organized. there's a q of people, they enter the bus through the front door. and then over here, there's a makeshift polling booth where people 1st,

they sign up over here. then over here, they cost the vote. and here's the ann with it with every ballot that has been cost so far. again, this is due to fears that large gatherings of people in wild places in traditional, alongside or around traditional polling stations that they might become targets of attacks of over missile attacks by cave or terrorist acts. even still some huddle back in 2014. to be honest. most people here in la guns had been inspired. we had a desire to get away from all this band, dera stuff. people went to vote for independence with great enthusiasm. they were accused at parting stations. people wanted to come back to their roots, get back to russia. these i years, we've been waiting for this moment to say it was and is a difficult part. and i would have liked it to have happened back in 2014,

but fight decided otherwise. maybe we had to go through everything in order to reach our dream of re unification with the great russia. i'm very happy about a referendum it is beautiful. the stork, i'm sorry, the law firm. smith dania, but in 2014, there was confusion. fear. we didn't understand what was going on, but we hope that for would be taking him to russia back then. i left then returned to my family and they were here for all this 8 years. then who experienced confusion and fear. so now we have hope. we hope that they will take us. no, i said i just im sure the level as is you know, i felt very positive in 2014 but now i am completely happy. everything is okay. we have been through it all right near snellville. i must be in the atmosphere, was festive back in 2014. why we wanted to re unite with russia today. we finally got it with us. we are returning home. we have come a long way, but everything has come to a logical conclusion. yet we,

the war will finally end. the more that i see it, which is another region that has been voting on whether or not to rejoin russia, is that of hudson. whereas we understand around 15 percent, how voted, according to local officials or the following footage shows queues at polling stations and hudson animals topple the military and the police are ensuring security as we understand they've done a good job. no violence reported on day one. now we're, all of the, a polling stations were swept for explosives before they open, but despite the potential threats, people have been king the cast their ballots. yes, the shown is the resolution. i believe that only with russia will be able to revive our region, raised the economy, medicine education, revive the industries that her son region was famous for in soviet times in give a new impetus to our economy. i cast my vote for joining russia. montagnier from omit finally were together, and finally we are at home. the mood is excellent. i altered for russia from my

home for my motherland. actually young, actually i want to come back home. i just want to come back home. listen to the little listen. it's always been a russian city. they say that for a person, the native language is the one in which his mother read fairy tales for him in childhood. they read to me in russian, where now had one of the voting stations here in kept a song. these have been set up all over the city. long with these members of the electoral commission are going flat flat house, the house collecting people's votes. because despite the fact that already thousands of people who have san city in the province itself have voted, there's been a lot of intimidation. they've been threats acts of terror. and there is ceases, of course bombardment of your song with, with missiles, with rockets by the ukrainian military. the ukrainian side nationalists have also threatened people. they have told them to stay away from building stations for.

busy their own safety taken at face value. it is believed that they want to target these voting 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 have already voted in more and more voting with every hour. several events have been held all across russia to support the referendums in dawn bath right here, you can see that's the city of camera, but that's in central russia. and then to the russian capital mod right here, with thousands showed up on red square waving their banners on the flags. and then from moscow all the way to girls in the course, the capital of the church and republican southern russia. all of these events have been attended by representatives of public associations of political parties as well as civil activists. now, earlier in the program, i did speak to a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade, stephanie guy,

which he believes the safety and the well being of those people who are voting is more important than western reaction to the referent. i don't see what kind of other sanctions are going to be imposed. i mean, west is fully involved in a proxy war. it is arming one of the sides heavily and i think that there will be increased protest similar to what we've seen in 2014 with the frame in case. but i don't really see any kind of escalation that we haven't seen so far. of course, the west will be very disappointed and there will be a lot of a lot of, i would say, a vein barking by the politicians that are already discredited within their own societies. but i don't believe that russia and especially people who

live in these areas, should be particularly worried about the western reaction. i think that they should be concentrated on the future. i had them and rebuilding our lives and of course of the infrastructure that was shattered. and of course li, rebuilding our functioning side of the awesome new trauma that started with the euro. my done, if not even with the breakup of the soviet union in 1991. now of course out international we will be fully informed and up to date on the very latest news. this is a 5 day referendum, ultimately deciding the fate of several 1000000 people. ah . well, poor old italy, e you chief of angela and has warned if lee of consequences should it via away from

liberal democratic principles ahead of the elections this weekend. where. right when candidates are expected to win, will see the outcome of the elections. we have just elections in sweden to if things go in a difficult direction. i've spoken about hungary and poland. we have tools there. she 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 italian vice prime minister mateo sal vini part of the conservative coalition that's favored to win in the

election this weekend was outraged. 5 underlines remarks. what is this a fret, shameful arrogance. respect the free democratic and sovereign vote of the italian people, a couple of euro deputies from selves. these league party have also now demanded that the european commission clarify what vander line was, meaning when she was making those remarks 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. the 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 is 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 bare, bach said, added democracy, conference of all things in prague earlier this month. have a listen. we stand with 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 it is good to have you with us today. that diplomatic relations between canada and india have become wrote more tense is the canadian government allows, seeks living there to conduct a referendum for a separate seek homeland and the western indian state of pudding job is get some clarity here. a correspondence don't join sharma on the 19th of this month. 7 men from the sea community in ontario and canada bought us updated in a retroactive. what was this referenda? it was essentially seek group saw and wanted for whether or not the indian job

should be a separate country. and he's a canadian citizens, not india is trying to decide what should or shouldn't be done in india. as far as the one issue over separate state for the community, you all call a son is concerned. let's talk the difference in how that india and how the canadian speaks. the way i thought of canada is concerned, it's more from a political positioning. 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 its breast, 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 as dan 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 a hot bed of qualifying separatism from the 1988 also led to one of the dandy of sarah das in canada. 1985. the issue all the demand was called on. who was the know, some of them wanted to come in please. it comes up, it goes down, it comes up again, kind of history has taught us anything when it comes off the safe, the toll with their lives, especially in the community. now, despite india expressing its concern very clearly to canada, this is what the canadian government white canadian nationals have every freedom to express their views in every manner possible as long as it follows the canadian laws on right to freedom of expression and right to free each assembly nano denny is a building. what's happening in town is already closely as long as california separate just exists in the fall within canada. by lucky guys between the 2 countries will

naturally report commission to buy facebook's parent company. meta has been released in which it admits to violating the free speech of palestinian uses. the probe was called the following widespread complaints about facebook and instagram monitoring of content during a flare up of violence. this happened between israel and gaza in may of last year. met his actions in may 2021 appear to have had an adverse human rights impact on the rights of palestinian users to freedom of expression, freedom of association and non discrimination. and therefore on the ability of palestinians to share information and insights about their experiences. as they occurred, the classroom is ultimately triggered by israel, vick thing, families from a neighborhood in east jerusalem. so $256.00 palestinian killed. as we understand that included more than 60 children. and as israel launched as strikes,

many palestinians took the social media to raise awareness of what was going on. they found the post to either deleted and pro palestinian hash tags were repressed . now meta claims, there was no intentional bias, but does admit a great deal of work still needs to be done. meantime, the israeli police commission once a more radical everything. 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 out com, everything down when the situation is come open back up. we are a democratic country, but there is a limit. on there i spoke with a varnish tire, a palestinian digital rights to find the she says it's very important for matter to implement all of these suggested recommendations of allison. but there is like something a little bit so surprising about this said report, which as they said like there is a bias like meta as having

a bias against palestinians. but this is an unintentional bias. however, we have been calling unmet time cooling and method. attention to a that this proportionality and it gets at the impact of its content migration policies on palestinians for years now. and they've never lie paid. that was, it took a strict measures order that needed measures to and this digital discrimination against palestinians. therefore, even if this by is a started as unintentional, a bias i think now of years of asking them and trying to and grab their attention to this, a kind of a bias, then it would be intentional one. so that's another thing because the other thing behind or is it with causes of a of this open with ation on the palestinian content. and under litigation of that is really content that was mentioned in the super,

as there are like pressure and died excited from the israeli cyber. you in it's on facebook where they are escalating hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of he says, a request to so to the social media companies annually and social media companies unfortunately are complying with most of those. some report said they are complying with 90 percent of the sequence and miss exit implements all those a commendation because it's crucial to end. but the discrimination against it here are shifting gears here at all to international to the bankers in britain who are now looking set to be rolling in the cash all over again after the government decided to scrap that cap on their bonuses. so part of a far reaching plan to deregulate london's financial industry, the new british finance minister quasi quoting, the, claiming the move will enhance the cities competitiveness among other global financial centers. we need global banks to create jobs here,

invest here and pay taxes. yeah, no power is not in front foot. i know you owe the stock did was to push off the basic salaries of bankers or dr. activity outside europe. we're going to get rid of it yet. of the cap was introduced in 2014 all across the european union. when the u. k. was still a member, it limited the bank of bonuses to a 100 percent of basic salary, even up to 200 percent if approved by shareholders. this measure was part of an effort to curb unjustified risk taking off the shocks of the 2008 economic crisis, which of course, ended up with taxpayers bailing out the banks. and although lifting the cap is designed to attract the best bankers to london, slow down the rise of their basic salaries and stimulate financial activities in

london. some that accused the government of being out of touch and rewarding those who are already too rich. so that's it. who are the winners from this budget? bankers, city fat, cats, fossil fuel giants, the extremely wealthy who are the loses every one else at a time when ordinary families are having to choose between heating and eating. this government's focus on giveaways to bankers and corporations is totally the wrong priority. funny. i really thought we'd reached the bottom of the barrel with boris johnson. i was wrong. i'm not sure i have any blood left to boil. i just spoke with a professor, richard, one or from the 140 university. he says the well given the current crisis facing the u. k. economy, this is not particularly the best time for such a decision at a time when clearly the economic situation has turned again very much for the worse . is this really the time to, you know, way encourage the bank is to,

to pay these excessive bonuses. again, there's no imaginable mechanism by which taking away the bank is bonus is going to help the economy. i mean, that's completely on, since it shows that the city of long corporation continues to dominate u. k. policy making and concerns of all people continue to get ignored. they want to attract bankers and banks to come to the u. k. that's a very silly view because you know, you don't need foreign banks to come in. you better establish domestic banks. farm banks are not really interested in lending to small local firms in the u. k. that's what's needed. and the chancellor was referring to foreign banks as a result coming in and paying taxes. what we know that the international banks and global banks, they're the ones that are least likely to pay taxes. and anyone don't sell because they have a close all over the globe. and they rearrange the business structure such that the revenue comes in based mainly in tax havens where the has no no taxes to pay and

they pay very little taxes. oh, that's a reasonable program with this story. as china has accused america of theft claiming its been illegally exporting oil from syria, me wouldn't. where's the u. s. and other countries to stop unlawful, military stationing and actions in syria? stop imposing unilateral sanctions on syria stock, stating oil and grain from the country and give the syrian people that true human rights. freedom and dignity. according to her syrian officials, america takes a large portion of syrian oil each and every day. damaging the local economy. the average oil production rate during the 1st half of 2022 was around $80300.00 barrels. but day while u. s. force is on their most and airy stole up to $66000.00 barrels every single day in that same time period, basically absconding with 82 percent of serious total oil reduction. in the

meantime, syrian citizens of had to queue up and lines to to the petrol stations, and more than 14000000 people need humanitarian aid. now gin to shoe a senior fellow at the pine golden situation as mull. you will wonder if it's not in the u. s, it's another country in particular, if it's a rival country, the us always targeting ad and you, you will be sure of the theme of the sweeping car ready to walk, walk how rage of how this country is getting all your from a country where you have a forward rate of 90 percent 90 percent of the people live under poverty live this by this dire situation. the us doesn't care much about the people in that country to act to deal with oil and also grain from the country. if you look at to the region with probably sample occupied by the us of several, i would say there is similarity to this. as mentioned to colonial practice.

all i could call me this, for example, the military. this is in the throbbing area. now, under the control of the united states, despite the fact that the beam syrian territory, the ar and the control of washington, thanks so much for joining us. you are not going to national for our special coverage of the retro referendum voting and the 2 republics. and the 2 ukranian regions as well. voting for potential independence and that of possibly joining russia, special coverage will continue to oh, i

i use, ah, the next stage of russia's military operation in ukraine is about to commence. a partial mobilization has been ordered, and importantly, referendums are to be held in a number of ukraine's regions. their goal was to become part of russia. nato's war on russia, just escalated when i was showing wrong when i'll just don't hold any world. yes, to shape out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when

so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh russia is the gross. no. if injured much about, we have any quality for russians. we have actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian in europe. so i work with that, didn't it was possible if a nation suddenly be disliked, well, was the hotel it he always there and only now come to the for the most told was the most for for so for the do it is router will be

a new one hasn't been seen before in their perspective, a more informed somebody at the studies before door. i knew that i knew you started ok. you know people not. yes. who's dial? it was a king's up door. could go with his i here because that's a play team is usually when he got a question with conservative. i mean, it was due to mr. you should throw border over here. all we gotta do is feed him over the head and just tell him the right way to live near is going to do it as a whole do it before i let you know more, but just to be active in place. a shy many the kids i tried to understand why my own colleagues

use a 90 person on tuition for position. i'm in some results and i disco, gurley g or so since long, long time. gaming and is a well known journalist and politician. he had the geneva pres club and wrote a famous book creating loose, a phobia from the great religious schism to anti boot in hysteria, in which he contends the rooster phobia in western europe isn't new, but has been there for centuries. resourceful for big narrative is set on 2 main arguments. one is russia is with you, thought it was a tier one with thought was a tier one during soviet times and now it's to run you doing to president sure. a lot times the 2nd phone is worse on expansions rush.
