despite the attack bell to accuse ukrainian forces have not only intending to disrupt the voting, but have also suppressing freedom of speech by intimidating journalists. carols tremors saw the deputy had of care, sons', military civilian administration, claimed the best rank on the hotel was carried out with the help of americans. specialists. there was open mazda water, gabriella. it, so was little. the city has been recovery from the showing bravo. it's not the 1st attack that was conducted with us. hi mars rocky. this is her mother. we have the information that today's attack was prepared in advance to give up it all coordinates were specifically delivered. if the strike is going to have been carried out by american specialist, the referendum, the harrison regional school setting is norma resumed. cranium courses could not reach us, but we predictably, you, bertha, we see now how crimea has flourished during this past it yourself. we expect a drastic contrast between the upcoming welfare states and the country that we've lived in recent years level diesel barbara, according to several local media reports, one of the

a tanks victims is for me ukrainian lawmaker alexi should afco this video. so should have co voting in the referendum in kiersten region had been in opposition to the current ukrainian government since the 2014 made on uprising. sure. have co moved to russia a year later, but returned to the cast on regent in april or in russian controlled territory in the zap at all. she had read in the city of the dance cath been reportedly shaken by 2 blasts in recent hours. the 1st explosion happened near a regional administer at regional administration building authority said an improvised explosive device believe to have been planted by ukrainian forces was detonated, that no casualties have been reported. so thought officials have said the attacks will not compromise. the ongoing referendum is the 3rd day of voting in my for end of the don vasquez on ans, apollonia with locals choosing whether to join russia. we bring you all the latest now in our special coverage. ah,

a correspondence in dawn bathroom on cancer, if not done. yes, republicans egleston and a gun. the guns republic brings it, but it is more detail. the referendum has entered the 3rd day here in the la guns people's republican across other regions, of course, were having their se so far. everything has been relatively peaceful and quiet and well according going according to plan that says despite caves, attempts to disrupt and to intimidate the local population. here when it comes to

figures that now roughly all across the longest people's republic, just short of half of the entire population, that is of course, eligible to vote have done so they have had their sake. now the vote of course happens and goes on against the backdrop of a wide spread condemnation that is pouring in from the west. and that despite all of the attempts of the local authorities here to legitimize the process as best as they can. of course, it is a tool order for a government that's the own rule and control over these lands. and these territories isn't internationally recognized. despite that they still have managed to attract and invite international observers to oversee the process of the voting as well. international practice says that they should, we did have a chance to talk to a few of them. so here's what they had to say to the objective, her visitor to, oh, pulling office and, and saying that her,

it is the wish of the population. so we are trying to save the process, it is free. yes, it is free. we are looking for how many people are attending. we are saying that a lot of people are tending and expressing that since 2014 the want to be a part of her. the contrary of susan's reminders were added with it. we visited the parting station, ambrosia africa. we're planning to visit 2 more mat putting station we pain to. there's a very friendly atmosphere. people came to the polls willingly and with smiles on their faces. we haven't detected any violations. we're pretty sure the situation in other stations is the same, is i can't tell you for sure what's happening at the other putting stations at the moment. but from what we've seen so far, no violations have been detected, and it all runs in compliance with the needed level of transparency and international norms. well, the question, if the international community chooses to listen to these well,

international observers to these members of the international community and to the say of the people, the voices of the people here. well, this question is rhetorical. i have to say, but still this is nothing to, i mean this will fail and it fails to hamper the process. it fails to se to stop people from coming to the polling stations and casting their vote. the referendum continues here to this people's republic as well. we are answering our 3rd day and at this point, more than half of the population of the nest people's republic had voted. so official figures now stand add, says 55 percent of the total population mind you were still are. these are the results from the 1st 2 days. we're still have are 2 more days to go it where more by referendum groups will be walking around the town and i had taken votes from my citizens and said the final vote at balling stations will take place on the 27th of september and on the 2nd day i walked around with the mobile referendum groups and

i spoke to people that are counting their votes and they're doing it very, very openly. and so all the people that i've talked to, they've actually told me that there are voting yes to her joining our with russia. and of course i, i asked them why, what their hopes are for the future. and at the moment many people are saying, well, we hope that we get our electricity back very soon. we'll get our water back very soon. of course, they don't have these basic necessities because the ukranian nationalist continues shelling, critical, civil and infrastructure on a daily basis. here in the next people's republic, now the entire republic is voting and reading on the reclaimed territories. off maria valenzuela. we have spoken to people there as well as take a listen for to i mean and ethnically, russian in my heart i am russian. so what else could i have hoped for everyone myself included,

has been waiting for russia. it is our destiny was he would have to, the city will be rebuilt and it will be even more beautiful than ever. although mary, opal was already a beautiful city. people will be more kind still returned home. we are very hopeful for the future. every single day of the referendum here is marred by a tragedy. people are getting killed. people are getting wounds the just over the last 24 hours. at least 250 shells from ukraine had landed here in dunn as now. those shows are of various high calibers, including those supplied by nato countries. refugees from the dumbass who have settled in russia are also able to vote in the referendums for the future of their homeland that says the vo sink is currently on the way in the dumbass. republics, if don't yet scan, no gantski, as well as ukraine's as output, osha and carry on regions. and also in russia, southwestern roast of region, according to well civil authorities, more than $4200.00 migrants from don baths are living in the region,

including $1700.00 children. most of them forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing conflict and ukraine. $135.00 polling stations are open across the region, enabling those who are eligible to cast their vote for my un special rapport or alpha desires says the referendum is actually a way out of the wall or the west does not share this opinion. the charter of the united nation, which is the world constitution, provides for self determination, assets use gold and right. so self determination. the realization thereof is a config conflict prevention strategy. and it is the function of the united nations to facilitate, of course, what we need most today, take down or the go. she. and this will be an element of negotiations depending on the result of the referenda. the western countries kind,

radia included. they've already, i've priority taken a position that is referenda is a shaft, what they've taken that position before. so no matter what the result is, we are going to reject it. the problem is that the united nations, as an organization and the un human rights council is essentially in the service of washington at brussels. everybody knows. nobody likes to watch that. it is a major failure on the part of our secretary general antonio. we'll tell it might have been some dumbass have been considering their fate while ahead of the referendum things changed back in 2014, when the, my them uprising split ukraine into with those who reject to the outcome of the q,

subject to repression. ever since you can see how the bloody qu unfolded and divided the country in ortiz documentary my down road to ah, sharing with my dom protests were initially held in supportive european integrations, but was soon hijacked by ukrainian nationalists slogans for directors against the russian speaking population ukraine is for ukrainians. ukraine above all. a december 2013. the lowest peaceful year in the history of the united ukraine is

coming to an end. the year of my down movement is gaining momentum in case series initials, up of labor leads to possibly many western politicians, ambassadors and leaders. a foreign state supported the might on protests. as president victor and the coach came under intense pressure. protests were emboldened by the support from the west acting with impunity. marianna, co, which was unable to respond with force to deal with the unrest

will be keeping you updated on the referendums as they take place. ah. the west is displaying double standards in its position on the referendum stuff, a view of russian foreign minister, circ, a love ra. following his address to the 77th, un general assembly in new york, where he covered ki geopolitical questions, including what he claimed was the inability of the collective west to negotiate with moscow. it's the most lucia. the attitude towards the referendums, in dumbass and to other regions is a double standard from the west. we can recall how the west drew up,

exceptions to international principles for kosovo schedule, although lay to the international court said that this was by no means an exception course. and in principle, off to kosovo. sure, it was proclaimed that any part of the territory or country has the right to determined its future without the consent to the central authorities. if there were double standards in the west where it is beneficial for them, they will do things one way where there are no benefits that they will do things differently. mobile, good, you'll too much. a very important press conference took place here at the united nations headquarters with the russian foreign minister, sergei lab rav. now. the press was not exactly friendly to the russian foreign minister, but he made a point of answering their questions with strength and consistency. the russian foreign minister from there, he went over the various allegations against russia that have been debunked. ah, he also went over the various crimes being committed by the government and he had that had been ignored by western media. and then from there he talked about how at the end of the cold war,

it seemed like us leaders appointed themselves as an the series of god on earth with the right to intervene in any country that they wish. and often the targets were countries they saw as rivals, you women, you, it is very clear to any unbiased observer for the anglo saxons who have completely subjugated europe. ukraine is only expendable in the fight against russia. nato has declared our country an immediate threat on the way to total u. s. dominance and has identified china as a long term strategic challenge. at the same time, the collected west, led by washington, sends a frightening signal to all other countries, without exception to any one who dares to disobey can be next. now the russian foreign minister and his speech went on to condemn the practice of unilateral sanctions being carried out by the united states, which prevent people from getting food or getting medicine. and a number of states have been targeted. he specifically highlighted the blockade of cuba, which the un general assembly has condemned over and over and over again. but the united states persists in instilling on the small island nation. now from there we

had the russian foreign minister talk about the need for the u. n. to be restructured in a way that countries around the world that are from the developing areas, latin america, africa, and asia could be given more adequate representation on the security council. he talked specifically about africa and how it is under represented in world affairs, maliciously commune was conflict situations in africa require abandoning the temptation to make them the subject of jew political 0, sum games on consolidating external plays in support of the initiatives of the african union. during the un general assembly session, there were other speeches that raised important issues facing the globe. for example, we heard from the representative of india, the cold war reformed multilateralism with the reforms of the security council at its goal. and joyce considerable support among you and members. it does so because of the widespread recognition that the cut into architecture is anachronistic and

ineffective. it is also perceived as deeply unfair, denying entire continents and regions a wise in a forum that deliberate their future. we also heard from the representative of china, i was the chinese foreign minister who took the podium at the un general assembly and emphasized the need for representation of impoverished countries around the world and the need for the un to be restructured in a way to give voice to developing countries will know who will be able to come. we must hit co operation and oppose confrontation as we face a host of global challenges. we should jointly oppose group politics and block confrontation. major international issues should be handled by all countries. no countries above others and no country should abuse its power to bully others sovereign countries. now in addition to his press conference and his remarks before

the un general assembly, the russian foreign minister, sergei lab, rob also had a number of very important bilateral meetings. india sat down with russia and talked behind closed doors, as did shina earlier in the week. so it's been a very important development. there are clearly big differences between major countries in the world when it comes to the issues that were discussed. but the russian foreign minister held his own, stood up to the challenges of the press and gave a clear assessment of advanced going on, not just in ukraine, but around the world, an act of economic racism. that's how you're going to has branded an e u resolution name to blocking a major oil pipeline project. citing alleged environmental and human rights abuses . the deputy speaker of uganda is parliament is accused brothels of violating the countries full warranty resolution is based on misinformation and represents the highest level on neo colonialism and imperialism against the sovereignty of uganda and tanza. mia also seeks to deny ugandans and east africans the benefits and

opportunities from the oil and gas sector. this represents the highest form of economic racism against developing countries who has the right to explore and developed from their own natural resources and under what conditions. that's the number of the fight between uganda, tanzania, and the e. u. on friday, the e u. parliament issued a statement saying they advise all companies as they hold us, linked to the east african crude oil pipeline project, to abandon all activities and to seize any production. now, the worries for the u parliament, as cited in the petition, ah, environmental, and linked to human rights abuses, they say detract us of the project. have been arbitrarily jailed, and that an oil spill already from this underground project could infest among the many rivers connected to the great lakes region and could be a detriment to millions of people who live in that area. his little from the you,

the european parliament calls for the you and the international community to exert maximum pressure on ugandan intensity and authorities, as well as the project promoters and stakeholders to protect the environment. and to put an end to the extractive activities in protected and sensitive ecosystems, including the shores of lake albert and commit to using the best available means to preserve the culture, health and future of the communities affected. what the petition will not tell you . however, in the energy poverty of the east african region as a whole and that many of the east african countries can not afford to go green. it is estimated that 66 percent of uganda's, a multi dimensionally energy pool, and the 33 percent of them have always suffered from acc, shoot energy, poverty. uganda is one of the countries that could greatly benefit from this pipeline. it's estimated that uganda has some 1400000000 barrels of oil and is ground. and that the 1400 kilometer pipeline plan between it and tanzania

could lift millions out of poverty. and according to the president of uganda, he had a warning on twitter for total energy, which is one of the companies linked to the pipeline project. he says that should they follow in the footsteps of the wanting from the parliament, uganda, and tell them you stand ready to take their feet into their own hands and charge of course for their own destiny. and that if taught towel pulls out, they will be ready to find another partner. european foreigners, i angry over an easy decision to remove tariffs and quotas along the exports of ukrainian agricultural products via the block. i'm awful helping you crime, but i believe you has opened pandora's box. the idea was not met with enthusiasm. a conflicts in ukraine led to the blocking of the black sea ports from which ukrainian grain was exported in order to support ukraine. the he has removed

tariffs and quotas, but some european farmers are starting to complain. that cheap ukrainian grain remains in that countries creating price competition among producers and when mania, bulgaria, and other e u countries who gary and from alexander, the tier of edge to european officials, to step in and with the unfortunate that inflation started even before the war. then we observed such processes after the start of the military, conflicts or problems with grain became much more serious so little to thought we would agree to help ukraine with the provision of transit corridors slowly. but their grain remaining here in bulgaria is totally ruining us to our expectations are that the bulgarian government, as well as the european commission, will take measures regarding this matter to protect both bulgarian and european consumers. because this is not only a problem in bulgaria, hey, policy is also said to be exacerbating food shortages in africa. russian president

vladimir putin say that not enough grade is going to the world's poorest countries . just 2 of the 211 ships that left ukrainian port santa wreath and dale broken by the un and turkey went to africa. china has large south u. s. president, jo biden's recent statement. the washington would send troops to defend taiwan if it's attacked. the white house has previously had to walk back civil estatements, which contradicts america's longstanding support for the one china policy. but would us forces defend the i want to? yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes, me phone. yeah. you enjoy the us remarks seriously violate the one china principal and the provisions of the 3 us china joint communiques reached the u. s. commitment to not support taiwan independence and so under severely wrong signal to the

separatists forces of taiwan independence. china strongly deplores and rejects and is made solemn complaints with the u. s. side woman. you were wrong. things that bite and held different views around a decade ago. while he was a senator, he was threatening to use force against china, could trigger a new conflict. as he emphasized the need for diplomatic efforts. there is a huge difference between reserving the right to use force and obligating ourselves a priori to come to the defense of taiwan. the president should not feed to taiwan much less to china. the ability automatically to draws into a war across the taiwan strait. the official us position doesn't commit to military action to defend taiwan. although washington, gus and military aid to the island, the latest funding was announced earlier this month, including more than a $1000000000.00 in arms on the delivery of an array of anti ship and anti aircraft missiles and response. china reiterated the tie. one is

a quote inalienable parts of its territory and urged washington immediately revoke the arm sales. the weapons package comes to the month of the us house beacon nancy pelosi visited tie pay, which prompted. major chinese military drove close to the island. we spoke to ed martin, president of phillips, softly eagles. he said the us must be very careful. i support the message to china that we want less aggression from china. after that, i think we need to be very, very careful with the situation. i mean, you know, i think we've seen that china is taking advantage of the regime of their, of biden's weakness. they've been doing more exercises and more kind of military stand up. and i know i spoke over the weekend with a military leader active duty military leader who told me that they spent a lot of time worrying about china worrying about what could happen. so look, i, we want to protect and support our allies, but we want to be careful not to be drawn into a war, especially a war with a nuclear power by to ministrations,

policy seem to be to continue to provoke other, our world powers. and to put their interests our, the world's interests or other nation's interest above ours. and i think that's the problem. many thanks to keeping us company here on our tea international this sunday, that's all from me for today at. but we have a new update for you in 30 minutes. ah ah.

ah, november the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended. the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 and select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s i was devastated by wal united states last about 400000 people at the brit sloss less than the americans did. and the soviet suffered 27000000 deaths. mm mm 27000000 is an incredible number.
