and i'm to, she did is flush it, well, the act on which is way is our ruling glass in our political ah, this is my, with the rules of barely started and there's someone trapped in the next room to him as well. cut, launched by ukrainian forces hit a hotel hines that housing, an antique, cooling the headphone region. there are reports of at least 2 decks with victims still trapped under the bubble as voting interest that still gained on bus and as up alicia and had to leave and we continue. our special conflicts will be ongoing referendums, whether to join russia and here from locals. on the ground yard with everyone

myself included, has been waiting for russia. it is our destiny, just very hopeful for the future over a 1000 international observers also working at the way for end imposing stations with some noting the high level of organization and the enthusiasm of many voters room on the parting station we've been 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, and it all runs in compliance with the needed level of transparency and international norms. and when, when you put nato has declared our country an immediate threat on the way to total us dominance. in a un general assembly session welsh, us foreign ministers as moscow security proposals. what arrogantly rejected by the waste with

ah, clayton used helen r t 2 people have reportedly been killed in a high mars rocket attack by ukrainian forces in the house on region. one of the t u. s. supplied rockets was shot down according to local russian back officials and arty news crew were staying in the target at hotel with corresponded miranda gazda, of sending his vizier video straight from the scene. a warning you may find the following image as disturbing. who have just always will be, will be put whether you go with what fuel the idea in your so that will you get all the future? i thought a better yet more to go visit me or go missouri borkam one. this is why this is my room, the walls of barely starving inside. that's the bathroom wall. and there is some

one trap in the next room. she was certainly a lot to get through at this point with we are told her really downstairs trying to help her. you towards is willard. there were 3 employees of the migration service, our team of 4 people, and to local residents working on the reception. the war had flew straight into them. it went through the 2nd floor and they were killed in the military left. this place yesterday may be the strike was planned to hit them. a born is very afraid of a 2nd strike. there is often a 2nd attack within 30 minutes. of this video shows what was left of the hotel and the arty cruise vehicle. our team captured the moment shortly after the attack with footage showing the scale of the destruction inside. the incident comes amid the referendums to join russia, alexander away in his own,

as well as the neighboring separation region and on bus. local authorities have said the voting will continue and finish a scheduled despite the attack. they also accused cranium forces not only intending to disrupt the referendum, but of also suppressing freedom of speech by intimidation, journalists to real strength of thought, deputy head of harrison's military. civilian administration. claims that the strike on the hotel was carried out with the help of americans. specialists. that sort of the city has been recovering from the showing. it's not the 1st attack that was conducted with us highmark rock. this is what we have the information that today's attack was prepared in advance of it. all coordinates were specifically delivered in the strike is going to have been carried out by american specialists. the referendum in the harrison region is now proceeding as normal. creating forces cannot reach us. we predicted this and we see now how crimea has flourished during these past 8 years. we expect a drastic contrast between the upcoming welfare states and the country that we've

lived in, in recent years. according to several local media reports, one of the victims of the attack has former ukrainian law maker and makes the call . this video shows the referendum in the hassle region. been in opposition to the coming to korean government. since the 2014 may done uprising to raska moved to russia a year later, but returned to the region in april the us issued him, our systems can fire long range rockets up to 300 kilometers. they require the target to be said prior to the launch, and the ukranian general has said that information often comes from washington. as far as military intelligence is concerned, britain and the u. s. has provided almost everything from information to equipment . he suggested there was a level of consultation between intelligence officials of both countries prior to launching missiles that would allow washington to stop any potential attacks if

they were unhappy with the into the target. well, it's quite life now team and right soy. and so she just martin and all that. thank you very much for joining us here on our team. last month, the british newspaper, the telegraph, selected ukrainian general as saying that if he time cubes forces use he miles rocket system in an attack. they coordinated with washington to avoid unintended targets. do you think that that's true? i think that comes close to the truth when we look at what happened in the last month. that can be very likely that there is on a given. and even though it's not, the only actor will say it's like that there's many different jobs, say that intelligence materials and such information is given to the training and false. and so i think that so that can be true. how closely do you think your brain

is working with the united states generally, as an overview in this conflict? i think of course they were very closely united states, a one of those who pushed the ukraine in that conflict and with the conflict since the might on in 2014. and it's the united states as local stuff, the conflict that they want to know. ready assembly off the united nations that countries like medical and south africa, they made some proposal how to solve the conflict from the end side of things can be reached solution. and i think that that should be fall from the cold little from the president of india and the president of the united nation. i think it's a very good idea. but here that proposal from beginning i think we should listen

mall. the actors were like no one big push ation, and the u. s. could stop this conflict they wanted because they don't mean they could ukraine european countries like my government and the french government to stop the u. s. being that progressive in the conflict. and i think and told them the negotiations solution because we were speaking with our corresponding son. and he says that military forces had left the building a day before it was attacked. in your opinion, do you think it's possible that they would target that might be possible. i tom know that i don't know whether it will ever be can be that they want to target . it can be that the john, this target, if the last will be the case, that will be a walk crime. that will be the case. it will be wall, but still always civilian will should stop. do you think

ukraine can confirm that all its targets are military in nature to avoid civilian casualties? how much do you think the waste help them in identifying the congress? i think of course they get the information like we said before, from the invest in jump as well. but i see for some of the cause of international that the ukranian pulse is huge. people who civilians as human shields and so on. and the information as well comes around here in countries where the ukraine will regain. ready regions that they often torture on kill people, then we can say that they don't clean cuz we need to national and so sometimes they might have the information goals,

new buildings. but i think they don't clean all the waste to what they showed me to even was regulated or was to stop. but it was regulated to my information. the treatment side doesn't cling to the regulations from july book of course in the coming days the referendums will be ongoing. what would you expect on the front lines? i don't know. i think that the referendum who the majority of the people. ready want to join russia, and i think when we really look from the international point of view, that might be discussed whether that this with in or with, with muslim and international law. but so reality that the people shows them there and it should be expected. and from that point on negotiations for the start reality, maybe not all the actors maybe don't like it. maybe the rest of the countries don't

like that. but i think the majority of the population and above which has been the assembly of the united nations as well. they won't, that this all stops than the reality has to be, have to be excepted. and that has to be negotiations where the security interests of everyone has to be have to be respected. and if we are that far, then that could be a solution. but i think that he'd like to escalate the conflict and new and the u. s. like to just have to stop them. question and then just wondering, i'm from the point you've made, how do you expect the west and the rest of the international community to react to the way for vengeance? if indeed, the results are in favor of joining russia. of course, the best and government like my government to government,

the position on the side of the ukrainian government in the last moms, they won't like ins and how they react to this. i don't know if everything can happen. i'm a bit afraid of. they want to bring forward to the escalation. we see the ideas of our foreign ministry battleship once that's ukraine, waste of all. and then that can be and that's a huge and i think she's conscious of that, that only prolonged the law in the interest of the new year of the us and the trans atlantic just stop. i mean, i'm quite sure that the don't like what's going on and there are and on, and i hope that they will at least take into consideration to

follow those who are more reasonable in the moment. like the mexican government, like some others in the united nation, said we have to get for nicholas. jason escalate the wall of epi, some very interesting insights there from out and also human rights lawyer and socially . just thank you very much for joining us here on. thank you as well. have a good it's the 3rd day of voting in referendums and on bus, and ends up with lucas choosing with it to join russia. we've been you all the latest now in our special coverage. ah.

our correspondence and on bus moment close about in the done it's the public. an eagle is donald in the la guns republic. bring us more details. 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's the despite caves, attempts to disrupt and to intimidate the local population. here when it comes to figures that are roughly all across the la guns 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's 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 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 very mother's adequacy, we visited the parting station. ambrosia have come. we're planning to visit 2 more at parting 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. 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 stu,

stop people from coming to the polling stations and casting their vote. the referendum continues here in his people's republic as well. we're answering our 3rd day and at this point, more than half of the population of the nest people's republic have 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 a 2 more days to go it where more by referendum groups will be walking around the town and taking volts from my citizens. answer 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. hands are 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 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, her continue shelling critical civil infrastructure on a daily basis here in the next people's republic. now the entire republic is voting in moving on the reclaimed territories off maribelle and we have spoken to people there as well if they could listen. 43 of oakland, honestly. i mean an 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. look at 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 wounded just over the last 24 hours. at least 250 shells from ukraine had learned that i here in dunn as now. those shells are of various high calibers, including those supplied by nato countries. refugees from don best who had settled in russia are also able to vote in the referendums for the future of the homeland. that's as the voting is currently underway in the don baths, republics of denise and guns, as well as ukraine's as upper washer. and hes on regions and also in russia's, a southwestern last off region, according to rust, awful, thousands, more than $4200.00 microns formed on bass, are living in the region, including $1700.00 children. most of them were forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. a 135 polling stations are open across the region, enabling those who are ineligible to cost a vote. for me,

you and special opportunity offered desires, says the referendum is actually a way out of the wall at the west. does not shave this opinion. the corner of the united nation, which is the world constitution, provides for self determination. assets use gold and right. so, so the term and asian realization, there is a config conflict prevention strategy, and it is the function of the united nations to facilitate it. of course, what we need most today to sit down and go, she and this will be an element of negotiations depending on the result. off the referenda, the western countries, canada, radia included. they have already app priority taken a position that is referenda is a shack. but 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 us. maybe it is a major failure on the part of our secretary general and the new residence dumbass have been considering their fate well ahead of the referendum, things changed back in 2014, when the may done uprising, spit ukraine into with those who rejected the outcome of the subject to repression . ever since you can see how the bloody qu unfolded and divided the country. in ortiz documentary made done road to war, 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. ah. her december 2013. the lowest peaceful year in the history of the united ukraine is coming to an end. the year my dad movement is gaining momentum in case we believe there series in the shows up on labor needs to possibly many western

politicians, ambassadors and leaders, a foreign state supported the might. i'm protests as president victor and a coach came under intense pressure. protesters 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. ah well keep you updated

on the referendums as they continue to take place. ah. the waist is displayed double standards in its position on the referendums. that's the view of russian foreign minister. so galen, ralph, fallen his address to the 77th. you in general assembly in york where he covered kenya. political questions, including what he claimed was the inability of the collective west to negotiate with moscow. the militia, the attitude towards the referendums in don barza to other regions is a double standard from the west. we can recall how the west drew up exceptions to international principles for kosovo. although later the international court said that this was by no means an exception. and in principle, after kosovo, it was proclaimed that any part of the territory your country,

has the right to determine its future without the consent to the central authorities. there are a double standards in the west where it is beneficial for them. they will do things one way where there are no benefits, they will do things differently. a very important press conference took place here at the united nations headquarters with the russian foreign minister, sergei lab ra. 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. he also went over the various crimes being committed by the government in key ab 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 emissaries 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 anyone bus 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 collect at west, led by washington, sends a frightening signal to all other countries without exception. anyone who dares to disobey can be next. now the russian foreign minister and his speech went on to condemn the practice of unilateral sanctions was being carried out by the united states, which prevent people from getting food from 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 un 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 misuse, legal noon was conflict situations in africa, require ending the temptation to make them the subject of geopolitical 0. sum games on consolidating external plays in support of the initiatives of the african union . during the un general assembly, sasha, and there were other speeches that raised important issues facing the globe. for example, we heard from the representative of india to coal for reform multilateralism. but 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 in talk had tech showed or 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 you and to be restructured in a way to give voice to developing countries will hustle realty come, we must seek 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 shine 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. what that brings us to the end of this bulletin will be back at the top of the hour with more news, but you can of course, always catch developments and updates on our website at r t dot come until then for me and the rest of the team in moscow. thanks so much for joining us. ah. ah ah, for the 1st time in history,

an entire country's culture has been trashed with a very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desert one, the global sheffield malice will go in when william frog yet just missed that in the minute that would preclude the phrase. now, particularly refers to counseling russian culture yet no was equally up of see what was the zip code when you my folks sure. when she will be all there is child mozilla, that all the most of us a bridge haven't m e, the amboy ward russia has created over the past 1200 years, has now question partially condemned, reviled, and rejected. his line in your study suboxone at the will of bramble, there's a lot closer. i wanna hold paunchy anytime to fantasy, wouldn't sure. they said thanks all spheres of life, including those in which russia had played leading cultural roles. art.
