and here are the top stories from the week. just gone to people have reportedly been killed in a high mars rocket attack by ukrainian forces in the house on region. one of the 2 us supplied rockets that were used was shot down according to local rush and back officials. an rti news crew were staying in the targeted hotel with our senior correspondent, rat gasdio. ascending this video straight from the seen, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. the words you thought was all good reports. what the exact words, what we're genius look will you do or did he just doesn't. so i sort of north of got it all. good. missouri borkam this is this is my room

the walls of barely starving inside. that's the bar through more and there is someone trapped in the next room. she showed me a lot to get to at this point. we are told immersive, ready, downstairs trying to help close you towards is will it? 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. the military left this place yesterday. maybe 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. the fia shows what was left of the hotel and naughty crumbs vehicle. our teen captured the moment shortly after the attack with fatigue showing the scale of the destruction inside. the incident comes amid the

referendum julio in russia now hand away in her phone, as well as the neighbouring as the pro voice she had region and on bus. local authorities have said the voting will continue and finish as scheduled. despite the attack, they also accused ukrainian forces not only intending to disrupt the referendum and that of also supporting freedom of also suppressing freedom of speech by intimidating janice can really stream assault deputy head of hudson's military civilian administration. claims that the strike in the hotel was carried out with the help of american specialists. more at the but i will, i, it's a little the city has been recovering from the showing bravo. it's not the 1st attack that was conducted with us. hi mars rocket. we have information that today's attack was prepared in advance to give up 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. 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, i've met wonderful berkeley according to several local media reports. one of the victims of the attack is former ukrainian don't make a nixie. so roscoe shows to call voting in the referendum in the hassle region. he had been in opposition to the coming to cranium government since the 2014 may done uprising from coal move to russia a year later, but returned to the region in april. let's have a closer look at what the hotel was hit with the american made hi miles launch system is supposed to tow. it may be loaded with a pack of 6 of the same rockets from one munition family called m l r. s, or one long range missile that can fly up to 300 kilometers. so father us has said 16 such high miles launches to ukraine. russia says it has destroyed 6 of those.

the guided missiles require the target to be fit prior to the launch. and as when ukrainian general has told the telegraph newspaper, much of that information comes 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 soy, and so she ologist martin dover, who says, washington is contributing a lot to give military intelligence. i think of course, they work very closely. the united states, a one of those who pushed the ukraine in that conflict and with an obstacle since the might on coo and 2014, i think we should listen mall the actus worldwide. no one big kush ation and the u . s. could stop this conflict,

they want it because they don't mean they could ukraine european countries. my, my government and the french government should stop the u. s. being the progressive and the conflict and i think and told them the negotiations solution could be possible. had another incident in a russian controlled part of this upper was your region. as a coin exploded in the center of the city of many tow pope while voting on the referendum was being conducted. although he say the block was a result of miss handling of explosives by a ukrainian supp, a tour who died as a result earlier to other bloss the code in the same region. in the city of beth johnson, local authority said improvised explosive devices. we use them in what they described as a terrorist attack by ukrainian forces. it's the 3rd day of voting and referendums and on bus, i thought, ends up horatio with locals, choosing whether to join russia. we bring you all the latest now in our special coverage. ah

how correspondent berman cost of of brings us the details from the denice republic where the voting is currently being conducted despite intensified attacks by ukrainian forces. ukrainian nationalists continue selling this city. how don't ask, trying to disrupt the people from casting their votes in this referendum mo bile referendum. groups are walking from house to house and are calling on people to

come and vote. now they're usually stationed outside, but because of continues showing, they were forced to move into this basement. and the turn out over the last couple of days was over 50 percent. and in this building alone, you can see a big line of a long line of people who want to cast their vote. it's been really tragic and dangerous here over the last 2 days, or a few people were killed by ukrainian nationalist scores were wounded. however, it hasn't deterred these people from voting in this referendum to join russia. oil and the shows when the conflict started. i was only 14 years old. now i'm an adult and i'm here to vote in favor of joining russia, even though the kids since the 1990 smith and thinking about why we're here in wiley have to take a different path of development. but now it seems we're finally going to attend to

where we all came from a dealership service, i feel so happy. i hope we'll finally join russia. we've been through a lot these past 8 years is through. i'm an assistant to the local deputy. so as soon as we join, we'll work on recovering everything. i've spoken to many people who cast their votes and one question to them was, what's your biggest regret over the past 8 years? and many said that the biggest regret is the fact that this referendum did not take place sooner. and a lot of people had, unfortunately, been killed by the ukrainian nationalists and another hold. but expressing with this referendum is the fact that children will finally be able to live normal lives . and they're hoping that play grounds like this one, which are almost in every multi story. multi apartment building. the city will once again be full of kids and full of laughter from one call for

a hearty done as people's republic. international observers from various countries have been visiting pulling stations and have said that the voting appears to be without any violations. to be object chief, her visitor tool. oh, pulling office and i am 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 attending. we are saying that a lot of people are standing and expressing that since 2014 the want to be a part of the contra day of susan to the mother's rugged reset, we visited the pouting station. ambrosia, come, we're planning to visit to mulch them at the pouting 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 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. to offset wonderful, this is the 2nd pulling 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. self determination of the people as a principle of international law. that's exactly what we see here. refugees, some dumbass who had settled in russia are also able to vote and have a friend m for the feature of the homeland. that's of the voting is coming and away in the dawn bus. republics of the nest annual guns as well as reclaims zappa washing and hostile regions. and also in russia's southwestern boston region. according to us of authority,

more than $4200.00 migrating from dunbar are living in the region, including $1700.00 children. most of them were forced to fee their homes due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. $135.00 holding stations the open across the region, enabling those who are ineligible to cost a vote for you in special procure, offered desires, says the referendum is actually a way out of the war. but the west does not share this opinion. the connor or the united nations, which is the world constitution, provide for self determination as it used called and right. so self determination. the realization thereof is a config conflict prevention strategy. and it is a function of the united nations to facilitate of course, what we need most today. sit down or the go. she and this will be an element of negotiations depending on the result of the referendum. the western

countries, canada, radia included. they have already, ab prioritized, taken a position that is referenda is a shot. what if 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 me. nobody likes to ask me that it is. it is a major failure on the part of our secretary general and sonya will tell that they didn't have done but have been considering their fate well ahead of the referendum, things changed back in 2014, when the may done applying things to craning to with those who objected the outcome

of the subject to oppression, ever since you can see how the bloody unfolded and divided the country in our teeth, documented treat may done though to war ah, sharing with my dam protests were initially held in support of european integration . 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 euro, my down movement is gaining momentum in case we believe in the shows up of labor leads to possibly many western politicians, ambassadors and leaders, a foreign state supported the might on protests. as president victor on a 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.

ah, and we'll keep you updated on the referendums as they continue to take place. with russia began a parcel mobilization this week with about 300000 people to be caught up for military service. president vladimir putin made the announcement at an address to the nation will be sure to assist you there. yes, i do my 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 experienced, will be called up before being sent to their units. those called up for active duty while undergo mandatory additional military training based on the experience of the special military operation. this, you have to say that this statement didn't come as a surprise, as moscow has repeatedly been warning, came about a number of red lines bad and ought to be crossed. but as you know, things at the fraud have recently been very tough. and just recently ukraine with huge support of its western allies with a lot of western weapons. and a huge number of our foreign fighter is on bear side of that started counter

offensive. and a huge part of had the fleet in that had been under the control of the russian forces and united forces. all people's republic often has been longest since spring has been taking back. of course, this is something that russia can not ignore, ignore, and might report him sad that while he have seems not to be ready to stop, it's an necessary sat mobilization. and also he said that this is actually a duty of russia zip. but who are, you know, you're foolish people in this approach in 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 hark of region. the descendants of van der writes and members of nazi punitive expeditions are killing, torturing and imprisoning peoples. 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

a stress that the status of moscow special military operation on the ground does not change with this recent announcement. it will continue according to the plan. and while wideman potent said the west is actually seeking to with can rush and eventually destroy a russia, the aim of the russian operation on the ground is to counter these efforts. vladimir putin also reminded that the russia deed that already in the past, and we'll do it again, stopping all those seeking to control the world for you. who are 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 motherland, our independence, and freedom will be defended. i have to say these are strong words and a very serious warning and defense minister survey showed go also talked about that

so called collective west is currently fighting on key had side and out at least 18 ne, to set lies a currently at ukraine service. so russia simply cannot just sit and watch this large scale operation against people of the dumbass region and eventually of russia . just watch it now. so they have to step in as the 1st to be caught up are being sent into military service. we spoke with some of them to understand how they feel about it. well, was it all so little since 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 and 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 civil 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 contract soldier. so 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. so i feel confident i am expecting that we will win this and i'm hoping everything will be okay. meanwhile, in the russian city of mahash, calais in the southern republic of daggers stun and he mobilization protested, have clashed with police. the all the unverified footage uploaded to social media canes to show at least 100 people protesting some undisturbed have been detained. but as of yet no official number has been released. protest, 4th reported in other parts of douglas done. and

now some news in brief, from around the world in paris semester fire has broken out of the warehouse. with tunes of 6 smoke billowing into the sky. the blaze spread across 7000 square meters . that the facility part of a major project markers about a 100 firefighters have been working at the seen the technology over now where protesters have again taken to the streets of the capital demand in the country. the pro european president resign thousands of mass downsides and in government building to denounce high inflation and fuel costs of the prices thought on the back of wasting sanctions against russia. earlier this month, protest to set up a tent can outside government headquarters, and volunteers stay there until the presidents and signed and in the

a mm hm. mm. mm. gone welcome to world war. the favorite topic for political analyst over the last couple of months has moved from the realm of speculation into

a fast shaping reality with russia announcing national mobilization. what it sees as a war with nature and the collective quest. not the more more, it's not a proxy war and not be trading of sanctions, but it will blow you. magic conflict with already thousands of on both sides. can anything be done to prevent further escalation to discuss it. i'm now joined by demetrius constance. a couple of political analysts for my advisor to your degree prime minister address on jo demetrius. it's a great pleasure, great honor for me to talk to you and i really like this opportunity to communicate . because i think we, we may not have it for a long time because russia and europe seemed to be enemies yet again. and those differences seem to be truly irreconcilable. what do you think it's all heading? thank you for your invitation. thank you for you to be with you and was your

i'm happy about them. i have the also for the reasons for that topic to discuss today. because it is to, we are sending everything indicates that we're heading to a very important crisis. and i would want to do a div. i would say that this is a potential asserting even the survival of humanity in different ways and took it should be a musician. and i don't want to be too alarmist, but it all indications have pointed to the use of their chair on the nuclear level, on the ecological level and on the economic i am. well, i can be que alarm is because a, i don't know if you follow the rushing is, but there are some president and his defense minister just the other day i characterized a ration and you can not just, you know, continue to regional confrontation but

a full blown war with natal and the collective? well, i don't think for them it's a matter for it. it looks like they actually believe that. i wonder if people where you are and we also perceive it the same way that they are at war with russia. we're not at war with geeks, european lessons. she didn't, she, jenner, western peoples are not the one who is russia. they don't feel like this is it is aligned to say such a thing. what the ease of one with russia in and i'm pushing it is possible and then which way is our ruling classes in our political class. this is different. and i believe that the european peoples are for relations with russia and for avoiding all of this situation. and i want to see one.
