you're watching the weekly here in our t international. my name's paula leo. and here are the top stories from the week just gone. 2 people have aborted. he been killed in a high mass rocket attack by ukrainian forces in the house on region. one of the t u is supplied. rockets were shut down according to local russian backed officials, and r t. news crew was staying in the targeted hotel with correspondent miranda guys the of sending this video straight from the seen. a warning that you may find the following image as disturbing to of just always or will. it was what they got worse. what? she'll be a genius of the willing to do with them for a sort of better. yep. those who got good, decent media organ, missouri, borkam this is 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 shall certainly a lot to get to at this point. but we are told immersive, ready, downstairs trying to help those youth towards these will occur. 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. we didn't, she left this place yesterday, may be the strike was planned to hit them. every one is very afraid of a 2nd strike. there is often a 2nd attack within 30 minutes. that's the dea shows what was left the hotel and the archie cruz vehicle. our team captured the moments shortly after the attack with footage showing the scale of the destruction inside. the incident comes amid

the referendums to join russia. surely how can to win hazel, as well as in the neighboring as appalachia legion and on bus. local authorities have said the voting will continue and finish as scheduled despite the attack, and was accused ukrainian forces of not only intending to disrupt the referendum of also suppressing freedom of speech by intimidating journalist, korean strengths of deputy head of hassan's military. civilian administration claims that the strike on the hotel with carried out with the help of americans specialists. what were the pro la it's i was little, the city has been recovering from the showing bravo. it's not the 1st attack that was conducted with us high mars rocket disorder martha, we have information that today's attack was prepared in advance again love it. all coordinates were specifically delivered if the strike is believed to have been carried out by american specialists. the referendum in the harrison region is now proceeding as normal, which ukrainian forces could not reach us, but we predicted this work. we see now how crimea has flourished during these past

8 years. so we expect a drastic contrast between the upcoming welfare states and the country that we've lived in in recent years. little barbara, according to several local media ports, one of the victims of the attack. as for me, ukrainian lawmaker alexi rascal of course motion and the referendum in the headphone region. he had been in opposition to the current ukrainian government since the 2014 may done uprising rocco move to russia yet later. i for turn to the region in april that typically look at what the hotel was hit with. the american made highmark launch system is worth of tow. it may be loaded with a pack of 6 of the same rockets from one nation family court in l. r. s, or one long range missile that can fly up to 300 kilometers. so father, you is to send 16 such high mas launches to ukraine. russia says it has destroyed 6 of those. the guided missiles require the target to be set prior to the launch. and

as one ukrainian general has told the telegraph newspaper, much of that information come from washington. as far as military intelligence is concerned, britain in the u. s. had 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 intended target. we've got a reaction from human rights lawyers, so surely just martin dozer, who says, washington is contributing a lot to king of military intelligence. i think of course, they work very closely. the united states, a one of those who pushed the ukraine and that conflict and the conflicts in, since the might on coo and 2014, i think we should listen all the actors worldwide. no one big push ation and the u . s. could stop this conflict they wanted because they don't mean they, ukraine,

european countries. my, my got them and the french government should stop the u. s. being that progressive in the conflict, and i think i told them the negotiation solution would be possible. it's the 3rd day of those lessons and on bus hassan anticipate alicia with locals choosing whether to join lasha we penny or the latest now in our special coverage. ah.

a correspondence on occasion bring us more details from the desk and against republics. the referendum has entered the 3rd day here in the la guns people's republican across other regions of course, who are having their se so far. everything has been relatively peaceful and quiet and well, according going according to plan. that said, despite caves, attempts to disrupt and to intimidate the local population, here when it comes to figure it out 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 tall order for a government that's own rule and control over these lands. and these territories

isn't internationally recognized. well, the question, if the international community chooses to listen to the say of the people, the voices of the people here, while 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 stew, stop people from coming to the polling stations and casting their vote. the referendum continues here to ness 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 have voted. so official figures now stand add, says 55 percent of the total population mind you were still. 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 us citizens and said the final vote at balling stations will take place on the 27th of september. and the 2nd day i walked around with the

mobile referendum group, sanders spoke to the 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 their voting yes to 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 who would get our water back very soon? of course, they don't have these basic necessities because the ukranian nationalist continue shelling, critical, civil and infrastructure on a daily basis. here in the next people's republic, now the entire republic is voting, including on the reclaimed territories of maribelle. and we have spoken to people there as well as take a listen. bruce fear. wilson. 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. with the city will be rebuilt and it will be even more beautiful than ever. although mariel 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 a 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. international observers from various countries have been visiting picking stations and have said that the voting appears to be conducted without any violations. to be object if her visitor tool, oh, pulling or fish and saying that it is the wish of the population. so we

are trying to see of the process. it is free. yes, it is free. we are looking for how many people are standing. we are saying that a lot of people are ending and expressing that since 2014 to want to be a part of the country day of susan to the mothers were added with it. we visited the pouting station. ambrosia, i've come, we're planning to visit to mulch, parting station we 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. we're pretty sure the situation in other putting 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 for offset. wonderful, this is the 2nd polling station we have visited as in the 1st one,

we see that the voting is taking place in a calm manner. people are casting their votes without any problems. everything is transparent and without violence and self determination of the people is a principle of international law. that's exactly what we see here. refugees from dumbass was settled in russia. i was able to vote in the referendums for the future of the homeland that says, the voting is currently on the way in the door, not until next door. best republics of the next and will guns as well as the cranes, as i propose yet. and from regions and also in rushes, southwest and vast of region. according to us of authority is more than $4200.00 migrants from don bus are living in the region, including $1700.00 children. most of them were forced to flee their homes. peaches, ongoing conflict in ukraine. $135.00 pulling stations are open across the region, enabling those who are eligible to cost a vote for me are you in special procure? alford desires, says the referendum is actually a way out of the war. but the west does not shake this opinion. the charter of the

united nations, which is the world constitution, provides for self determination as it use gold and right. so, so to turn the nation, the realization there is a conflict conflict prevention strategy. and it is the function of the united nations to facilitate, of course, what we need most today. sit down on the go. she and this will be an element of negotiations depending on the result of the referenda. the western countries got really 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 that nobody likes to ask me that it is. it is major failure on the part of our secretary general and the new residence of dumbass have been considering the fate well ahead of the referendum. things changed back in 2014. when the made done uprising split your crating too, with those who rejected the outcome of the qu subjected to oppression. ever since you can see how the bloody coo unfolded and divided the country. and ot documentary may done road to war a

sharing with my dom protests were initially held in support of european integration, but was soon hijacked by ukrainian nationalists slogans for directors against the russian speaking population, ukrainian ukrainians. ukraine above all 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 key series, initials, up and labor leads to possibly, many western politicians, ambassadors and leaders, a foreign state supported the might. i'm protests as president victor on the co,

which 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 keep you updated on the referendums as they continue to take place.

ah, the west of the spain double standards in its position on the referendums. that's the view of russian foreign minister. so gale of rav following his address to the 77th, un general assembly in new york, where he covered key to your political questions, including what he claimed was the inability of the collective waste to negotiate with moscow. it's the militia, 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. although later the international court said that this was by no means an exception. and in principle, off to kosovo, it was proclaimed that any part of the territory, your country, has the right to determined its future without the consent to the central

authorities. there are double standards in the west where it is beneficial for them . they will do things one way, whether or no benefits they will do things differently. little to deal too much. a very important press conference took place here at the united nations headquarters with the russian foreign minister, sergei lauve 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. ah, he also went over the various crimes being committed by the government. 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 you as 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 human 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 or 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 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 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 misuse, legal noon 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 sashon, 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 with the reforms of the security council at school. and joyce considerable support among you and members. it does so because of the widespread recognition that the cut into context yoder is anachronistic and ineffective. it is also perceived as deeply unfair, denying entire continents and regents a wise in a forum that deliberate their future. we also heard from the representative of

china 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 whose will be able to 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 events going on, not just in ukraine, but around the world. russia became a partial mobilization this week with about 300000 people to be caught up for military service. but it didn't. vladimir putin made the announcement in an embrace to the nation. with this, it was the shooter never had. you may find it necessary to support the proposal of the defense ministry and the general staff on partial mobilization and the russian federation to defend our motherland and its sovereignty and territorial integrity and to ensure the safety of our people and the people in the liberated territories most of, as i have said, we're talking about partial mobilization. in other words, only military reservists, primarily those who served in the armed forces and have specific military occupational specialties and corresponding experiences will be called on before

being sent to their units. those hold up for active duty while undergo mandatory additional military training based on the experience of the special military operation. from this, you have to say that this statement didn't come as a surprise, as moscow has repeatedly been warning key about a number of red lines. bad and ought to be crossed, but as you know, things at the frond, have recently been very tough. and just recently ukraine was huge. suppose all the western allies with a lot of western weapons and a huge number of our foreign fighter is on bear at side of that started counter offensive. and a huge part of how to play in that had been under the control of the russian forces at united forces. all people's republic often has done the guns since spring has been taking back a for, as they said, something that russia cannot ignore, ignore and light repugnant, sad that while he have seems not to be ready to stop it and necessary sat

mobilization, an author who said that this is actually a duty of russia zip, but who, you know, hopefully people in the upper ocean, harrison regions in logan's can to next saw and are seeing now the atrocities perpetrated by the neo nazis in the ukrainian occupied areas of the heart of region . the descendants of van der rights and members of nazi punitive expeditions killing, torturing and imprisoning people. we have no moral right to let our chin be torn to pieces by butchers. we cannot but respond to their sincere striving to decide their own destiny on their own. weidler put in his tracks that the status of moscow special military operation on the ground does not change with this recent announcement that will continue according to the plan. and while wideman potent said, the west is actually seeking to wicked russian eventually to destroy a russia, the aim of the russian operation on the ground is to counter these efforts. vladimir putin also reminded that the russia did that already in the past,

and we'll do it again, stopping all those seeking to control the world. but you can grow you in the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend russia and our people . we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. this is not a bluff. the citizens of russia can rest assured that the territorial integrity of our mother lands our independence and freedom will be defended. i have to say these are strong words and a very serious warning and defense minister said again, show go. also talked about that. so called collective west is currently fighting on key had side and out at least 18 made to set lies a currently at ukraine service. so russia simply cannot just sit and watch this large scale operation against people of the dunbar region and eventually of russia . just watch it now, so they have to step in as the 1st to be called out,

popping st into military service. we spoke with some of them to understand how they feel about it. well, the little, little see, i had suspected it was going to happen. i fit the criteria and after all, if it's not us, then who will it be? who the government in the president have decided this is the better way. so if it's needed, it's better to draw that line. now instead of later, when there would be more difficulties and more victims, financial survival wishes, of course, it's a sacred duty to protect our motherland if they'll send me there, then let it be. so then that is my destiny. i basically accepted that of course, it was scary when it all started and the draft notices began to be issued. but what would be the point of running from it almost as 1000000 soldiers are needed? there's not enough of them, not enough contracts soldiers. that's why there's this mobilization now. i wasn't at home when the draft notices came, then my mother received it and i got it from her. i was not going to run from it anyway. i feel confident i am expecting that we will win this and i'm hoping

everything will be okay. some new thing freeform round the world in paris semester fire has broken out at a warehouse with plumes of fixed smoke billowing into the sky. the play spread across 7000 square meters at the facility. part of a major produce market about a 100 firefighters have been working epicene ah, to more dover now wave protest does have a game taken to the street since the capital to demand the country's pro european president resigned. thousands have messed outside the main government building to denounce high inflation and fuel costs. after prices thought on the back of western sanctions against russia. earlier this month, protest to set up a tent camp outside government headquarters, and vall to stay until the president resigns

personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very critical. i'm time to sit down, talk ah, north atlantic alliance recognizance aircraft wolf shipped, cruising close to russia's borders. have become commonplace along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders.
