waiting for the right moment to strike the republic. honest enough with all that to my food with alicia, this is our future. and the most important thing is the future of my grand daughter's though she has of the heart. my mother is russian. my father is russia. well, i am russian to here. we're not international. we bring you out. special coverage as to don bath republic sent to you creating a regions of voting on whether or not to join that of the russian federation. the you chief threatening to take action against road. this is a can be the election that this weekend results in the government taking the country in a quote, difficult direction from the program. tensions rush it up between canada and india

off the auto refuses to stop. canadian seeks conducting a referendum for a separate seat homeland and the west and indian state of couldn't job with a very well welcome to you. this is all t international. the 1st 5 days of voting and don bass and 2 other areas on whether or not to join you. russia has now come to an end for day one. we have special coverage of these if 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 scanned the lucas group. public state did essentially announce their independence back in 2014, they declared themselves independent after that of the 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 of was trying to scare people ahead of the vote. meanwhile, moscow says it will support the people's will and decision. and so she was some pictures now from polling stations in the don baths region. people in both the don't yet got little guns. republics. they say they've been waiting for this moment

ever since the ukrainian government was overthrown 8 years ago. now, as the polling ends its 1st day turn out and the look at your public is almost 22 percent. the head of the lugens people, people's republic has encouraged citizens to get out vote and make their voices. i am still, i'm sure the citizens of la ganske people's republic will make their choice in favor of join in 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're guns people's republic votes. 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 bowling 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 queue 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. the people went to vote for independence, with great enthusiasm. they were accused polling stations. people wanted to come back to their roots, get back to russia. these 8 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 fate 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 the referendum it is beautiful. the stork i'm so in a more m. smithsonian book 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 showed the level as this and i felt very positive in 2014, but now i am completely happy. everything is okay. we have been through it all right. and is now valid. must be around the atmosphere was festive, back in 2014. why we wanted to re unite with russia today. we finally got it. whipple cheated. those 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 with which another region that has been voting on whether or not to join russia is that of hudson, where as we understand around 15 percent, how voted according to local officials. at the following footed shows queues are pulling stations in 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 paulding stations were swept for explosives before they open. but despite the potential threats, people have been king, the cast their ballots. you have the, shall, is the revolution. i believe that only with russia 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 russia. my can, yes, i'm a mission. finally work together. and finally we are at home. the mood is excellent

. i want it for russia from my home, from my mother, london. actually young. i want to come back home. i just want to come back home to some sort of a kiss on his always been a russian city. they said it for a person. the native language is the one in which his mother read fairy tales for him in childhood. they write 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 to flat house, the house collecting people's votes. because despite the fact that already thousands of people in care of san city in the province itself have voted, there's been a lot of intimidation. there been threats acts of terror. and there is ceases, of course. what budman of your son with with me selves with rockets by the ukrainian military, the ukranian side nationalists have also threatened people. they have told them to

stay away from voting 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 a voting with every hour. several events have been held all across russia to support the referendums. in dawn baths right here, you can see that's the city of camera, but that's in central russia. and then to the russian capital moscow right here where thousands showed up on red square waving their banners and their flags. and then from moscow all the way to grows in the, of course, the capital of the chechen 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 are 7 guys,

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 in bowls. 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 growth 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 are all the 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 u chief of angela and has warned italy 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 the difficulty direction. i've spoken about hungary and poland. we have tools. are 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 to be italian people, a couple of euro deputies from sylvania 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 the you move to cut hungary is 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. whereas hungry has 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 he 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 sent a whist ukraine, as long as they need us, no matter what my german vote to 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 bear 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 tons. as the canadian government allows seeks living that's a conductor referendum for a separate seek homeland and the western indian state of pudding job discussing clarity here a correspond connor's don't join sharma. on the 19th of this month, 7 men from the sea community in ontario and canada boss updated in a retroactive what was this referenda?

it was essentially seek group saw and what it for whether or not the indian and job should be a separate country, a canadian citizen, not india is trying to decide what should or shouldn't be done in india. i thought the one issue over separate state for the community, you all call the style is concerned that talk the difference in how that india and how the canadian seeks view it. i thought it's canada concern. it's more. hello, linda. good positioning. now in india, the issue is somewhat day. the main question is, why should it be get to live in canada? the indian government has taken all objection to it and express 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 a hot bed of qualifying separatism from the 1988 also led to one of the den. do you a das in canada? 1985. the issue all the demand was called on who was the know so someone it comes in please. it comes up and down, he comes up again. and if he has taught us anything, when it comes off, he states the toll media tax people use 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 assembly non new denny is a building. what's happening in town is already closely as long as california

separate just exists in the fall sense of canada by law guys between the 2 countries will naturally report commissioned to buy facebook's parent company. meta has been released in which it admits to violating the free speech of palestinian users. the probe was called the following widespread complaints about facebook and instagram monitoring of content during a flare up of buys. and 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 assembly, political participation and non discrimination. and therefore, on the ability of palestinians to share information and insights about their experiences as they occurred. the classroom ultimately triggered by israel evicting families from a neighborhood in east jerusalem. so $256.00 palestinian killed as we understand

and 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 re thing. 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 calm everything down when the situation is come open back up. we are a democratic country, but there is a limit out 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 have a listen. 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 on meta cooling and method attention to a that this proportionality and he gets at the impact of its content, moderation policies on palestinians for years now. and they've never lie, they, that was, it took a strict measures order that needed measures to and this digital discrimination against palestinians. therefore, even as best buy is started as unintentional and bias. i think now often 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 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 fisher ad directed 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 link unmet, to implement all those recommendations because it's crucial to end the discrimination against palestinians are, are shifting gears here at the national to the bankers in britain who are now looking set to be rolling in the cash all over again, for the government decided to scrap the 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 city's competitiveness among other global financial centers. we need global bank to create jobs here. invest here and pay taxes. yeah, no power is not in frankfurt. i know in new york. oh, the bonus cap did was the push up the basic salaries of bankers or dr. activity outside europe. we are going to get rid of it. yeah. so the cap was introduced in 2014 all across the european union when the u. k. was still a member, it limited the bank. a bonus is 200 percent of basic salary, even up to 200 percent of approved by shareholders. this measure was part of an effort to curb unjustified risk taking off the shocks of the 2008 equinox crisis, which of course ended up with tax payers 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 of the accused the government of being out of touch and rewarding those who are all ready to rich. so that said, who are the winners from this budget? bankers, city fat cats, fossil fuel giants, be extremely wealthy. who are the lose as every one else at a time when ordinary families 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 the professor, richard warner from the one ford 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 really the time

to, you know, way encourage the bankers 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 complete nonsense. 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. now, that's a very silly view because you know, you don't need foreign banks to come in. you, you better establish domestic banks. foreign 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. but we know that the international banks are global banks. they're the ones that are least likely to pay taxes and anyone domiciled 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 this no no taxes to pay and they pay very little taxes are less out of the program. with this story, as china has accused america of theft claiming its been illegally exporting oil from syria, women, so many wooden, where's the u. s. and other countries to stop unlawful, military stationing and actions in syria? stop imposing unilateral sanctions on syria. stop 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 stall up to $66000.00 barrels every single day in that same time period,

basically absconding with 82 percent of serious total oil production. in the mean time syrian citizens of had to queue up and lines to to the petrol stations, and more than 14000000 people need humanitarian aid. i'll jin to shoe a senior fellow at the pine golden situation as mull you will wonder. ready if it's not in the u. s, it's another country in particular, it's a rival country, the us always targeting at. and you, you will be sure of the theme of 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 u. s. doesn't care much about the, you know, 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

example occupied by the us of several, i would say there is similarity to this as mentioned to colonial practice or like a colony. this, for example, the military, this is in the throbbing areas. now, under the control of the united states, despite the fact that the beam the syrian territory, the ar and the control of washington. thanks so much for joining us for an international for our special coverage of the red referendum voting and the 2 republics. and the 2 ukranian regions as well, boating for potential independence and that of possibly joining russia, special coverage will continue to ah, the next stage of russians, military operation in ukraine is about to commence. a partial mobilization has been ordered, and importantly, referendums are to be held in number of ukraine's regions. their goal is to become

part of russia. nato's war on russia just escalated ah, long more when i want shown seemed wrong when all proofs just don't hold any world yet to save out. disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals the trails. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,

the eradication of love is and was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan awesome for the colonization and german ization of eastern europe. the plan involved about 80 percent being killed or relocated really it was he just nichol. i busy you really? his proceed to me actually up when you might have i been hearing him. yes. cuz they knew it was threatening you sailor asked. so eugenio e. f. personally, i mean i was just, we did a little, we're good. yeah. my yes. that you up nice. lovely alleged miasca. that was the gate mission. much already know. it'll be a huge semi image mistake nationalist, but then you still split nysha will change plans get us, but it'll be really changes. williams co especially digest williams. guys, i was a lot of the get the friends, the upgrade, a to being years reading year. i could only just just lay on school and i don't

just hear nobody diagnostic, but i took rains of pretty more course that i need is nashika data. please close me, go find them. can you just a new one? not to skip practical toyotas perform with the more stablish or don't shake dominion grain. see by like a push that with does that? sure. at least anybody about jesus came out a little apple or something about sped stuff. no, he said he beat the lift on, but i'm just an apology. jim, you menu them. bruce marshall. somebody up wish lunch yours. one jury is a skis, but you do it. unfortunately, because a little stubborn school push that with you just on the phone need see, is for be done to can do it to new coin without the problem for so the composition, for instance, the eyes of a can sure this size without problem. so there is a double dog, i mean pick kiss to still can. i mean if it, when you lie, it's

a thinking it's crazy in the form or a form in store abreast of the, with pitiless plans for the slabs on brandy. remember today, as is the fact that civilized europe failed to resist his advance for long belgium fell in 8 days. poland in 36, france and 43. it took just a $116.00 days to conquer europe. nazi death camps were set up in poland, left field, austria and italy, people with tortured gas to burned and subjected to experiments. who's killed more westerners, not russians, westerners themselves, adolph, hitler slaughtered tens of millions of poor. she will forget that about one 5th of all poles were killed during world war 2. because 8 off hitler including his nazi collaborators, western ukraine's, the palm and era.
