an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the day for the voting in the dumbasses upper origin has some regions just hours away. in our special coverage, international observers shared their assessments of the referendum to join russia. ok. okay. honestly, i expected to see a different situation in the people panicking. being scared to vote, but i see voters calmly coming to express their will. it's clear to me that people have been waiting for this for a long time. as residence states, upholding centers in harris on the region comes in, the shelling by ukrainian forces. local authorities claim here is doing all the can

to destroy the referendum and thousands of protesters in germany demand the government's resignation over the energy crisis. with many calling to open the notes stream to pipeline emitted rising energy costs. also coming up, damascus accuses washington of stealing more than half of serious oil and other resources emitted severe economic crisis in the country. so v, as a foreign minister speaks exclusively swati woman test mirror, syria will hold the americans accountable for every drop of oil. they were stolen from us in front of the international community and the american people who should not support an aggressive policy towards another people with from moscow to the world. this is our international, my name is peter scott. and these are the top stories. this our we kick off this

monday morning with arts. he's a special coverage on the referendum in don boss and 2 of the regions. now it's the 4th day of voting. locals are deciding whether they want to become part of russia. ah. well, turnouts in the referendums currently underway in little guns and done yet republics as well as these upper order region have past the crucial 50 percent milestone. and that means that moscow will recognize the outcome of voting. that is valid.

officials say that turn out on the 3rd day of polling in the l. p. r is 76 percent with over a 1000000 residents casting their votes in the done yet so public over 800000 voted on their future. while over half of all eligible votes is said yes, to russia in this upper orgy region. the west has labeled the referendums a sham and will refuse to recognize the results. international observers you visited, a number of polling stations over the 3 days shed their assessments with us. but i have seen this is pretty good. it's going all right. you know, in western media, they say all the time we in soviets are there trying to force people to fall. well, i didn't see that good. okay. honestly, i expected to see a different situation that people panicking being scared to vote. but i see voters calmly coming to express their well being confident in their decision. and pleased to see that i have visited about 2 stations so far. and my impression with both stations is that there's quite

a free and fair process that is going on. i'm the citizens in both stations are being given an opportunity to express how they would want to see the situation on their cities to me out. and they, i given freedom of expression, there's no meddling with the process and there is actually explanations that are being done for those who do not understand how the process is to unfold. so i think so, further from what i have observed in both the stations, the oppressive was quite transparent. i didn't medical i like that there are multiple pulling stations at the referendum so people can vote at any convenient location and don't have to go a long way. i see that people can choose freely. i haven't seen any violations of the procedure of ethan mcclay. it's clear to me that people have been waiting for this for a long time debugging valcall, and they were to polling stations and against republic. i'm wanting maria portal. that in my view, don't fully comply with international standards. that's because they allocated outside and the ability to vote confidentially wasn't provided since there were no

booths. and maria po government serves is explained to us. it is for security purposes, but still that's the only violation i've noticed so far. there were quite a lot of people at the stations, regardless of the time a day or weather. for instance, in new gantski sort q standing in the rain. they were polling boss, and also acute near the drama, say to late in the evening retail, i kind of turnouts, and had a song region is approaching the 50 percent mark despite taking place amid intensify starts by ukrainian troops. she people have been killed in a suspected high mas rocket society on a hotel. the cave hasn't yet commented on the incidence that one of the victims of the attack is former ukrainian lawmaker alex asia, africa. he had been in opposition to the currency ukrainian government since the 2014 my done uprising. an artsy crew also came under fire as it was staying in the hotel that was struck. the building was have a damage, as you can see here on your screens. and the roof collapsed as a result of that missile attack. but it wasn't the only attack in the region where

voting in a referendum continues as russian bytes officials say that ukrainian forces destroyed all the bridges can nights in the city of san we're the rest of the region ah bulk of what to look after the armed forces of ukraine destroyed all the bridges connecting the city of harrison with the rest of the region was shelling residence began to use river crossings to reach the opposite bank of the deeper ukrainian troops. however, continued shelling people and the fairy which transported goods and civilians. and there was another incidents in the russian controlled parts of the zappa georgia region. as a car exploded in milly, topple city center while voting on the referendum was taking place. authorities claim the explosion occurred as

a result of mishandling of explosives by ukrainian summit, sir, who was killed in the blast that he had see with a blast occurred in the same region in the city of better. the answer, local authorities said that in providing an improvised explosive devices were used in what they described as terrorist attacks by ukrainian forces. parties don a call to dig deep in. so i don't boss people may vote in favor of joining russia. like the people's republic and on boss her song and hark of are mostly inhabited by russian speakers. harker of even declared its own independence in 2014, but that was crushed by the ukrainian intelligence services and now and it's recently retaken territories. ukraine is once again in repression mode to ensure that such descent does not happen again. nothing matters for the ukranian nationalists. they will eradicate all citizens who lived under the russian administration. they will call them traitors. ukraine's intelligence services promised reckoning after its troops returned pro key of authorities are calling it filtration. but at the end of the day,

it's all just text book terror. residents can no longer leave their passports are being confiscated and mass and report. a suggest that thousands of people could already be in extra judicial detention as for what the word traitor even means for ukraine. it could be anyone who accepted humanitarian aid from russian forces or just communicated with them. we know that from the many pro key channels set up on the telegram messaging app aimed at hunting down potential collaborators. and you category of those who support until the enemy hesitates now and register in addition to traitors. those individuals who violated their oath and went to so the enemy and collaborated those individuals who went to work for the occupying authorities. we add the category of assistant of the occupies alexander and his girlfriend. fanatics of the russian world from the city of lucy, chanced upon liberation. we need to save this child from these parents. the people

of dunbar had nearly a decade to become acquainted with the key of regimes iron fist following the 2014 year old. my don qu, day top, according to russia's investigative committee over 22000 civilians became victims one way or another of ukraine's military activities. primarily its indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas. russian forces discovered a prison operated by the neo nazi barrier battalion tornado. it was used as a dungeon for rape, torture and murder. the detainees were beaten on their legs, but exercise and genitals. the men were torched with a stun gun. those detained in the basement was stripped naked, placed them to a concrete floor, and towels with water. then, with wires attached to various parts of their bodies, they were administered electric shocks. even the united nations and amnesty international have widely reported the crime. so these ukrainian, neo nazis members of ukrainian forces and paramilitaries,

also subject to detainees, to torture and other ill treatment. and use detained civilians as ponds for prisoner exchanges between the warring sides. credible allegations emerged of torture and other agree just abuses by ukraine, so called volunteer battalions. i dar and does off. as the wes unconditional support for these arms, neo nazis shows no sign of letting up its main foreign policy principle is becoming increasingly clear. they might be a bad group of guys, but they're the west. bad group of guys. refugees from ukraine's eastern dom bus region are voting on the future of their homeland in the ongoing referendum. many of those we spoke to in the be a good region of russia, which is close to the ukrainian border, say that they have voted for unity. richard, every we have always been together. yes. which means we must stay together. that's why we decided to vote this way in favor of unification with russia. when leopard,

we'll just do, we want our 2 regions to become a part of russia. we want to unite with russia, so we can live more peacefully. we were severely repressed under ukraine from keith took everything from us, our country, our land, and our home notices of rudeness, of pathetic. they reacted to anything they thought might be russian hill. if you had any connection with russia, they would take you away. i even heard them threatening people. he took humanitarian aid from russia, so they didn't care if you would starve to death. who does he go to as voting in the referendums and says in the 4th day, of course will keep you updated on how voters decide in the future of those regions . ah, well china and india, coal for peace talks to resolve ukrainian completes ahead of the end of the 77th, un general assembly session new york. some western leaders continue their anti russian rhetoric and try to pin. busy all of the blame for the global view crisis

on russia, ortiz kelly morphine has more. the un general assembly, you would think everyone expects to hear the same normal rhetoric about bringing peace to the world and stabilizing global hot spots. but instead we had western leaders using the platform for something very different war, chosen by one man to be very blunt, permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants. on the united nations charter president boatner's made over nuclear threats against europe. russia, aggression has severely ex, is escalate to defeat food security, energy and finance and crisis because of the actions of one country. more than one and a half 1000000000 people in more than half of the u. member states, find himself at great the risk of poetry, starvation, an independence don't exactly match calls for peace. now does it now some countries

from the non western block seem to have not been very impressed with the western narrative. they use the platform to emphasize that they feel the priority should be dialogue. no hustle, realty. we must seek cooperation and oppose confrontation as we face a host of global challenges. we should jointly oppose group politics and block confrontation, long india is on the side of peace and will remain firmly that we are on the side that respects the un charter and his funding principles. we are on the side that calls for dialogue and diplomacy as the only way out. well, western leaders didn't stop there. they've called for russia to be isolated or more precisely claiming that russia is already isolated in the international arena. well, does this look much like isolation to you with?

well, only if you mean by international arena, the western powers, which is what they usually mean when they say that anyway, this time, those who don't go along with the western narrative brought up some recurring themes. grain exports, fertilizers, and other essential items being blocked by u. s. and e. u sanctions with a global food crisis on the horizon lab. or i've pointed out that this fits a pattern of u. s. behavior threatening countries and imposing sanctions to get its own way. the woman who benito 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 collective west led by washington, sends a frightening signal to all other countries without exception, which anyone who dares to disobey can be next. lab. rob emphasized that russia is willing to talk at his press conference. he said it is always better to talk than not to. however, western leaders just proceeded onward that they are anti russian allegations and

podium, pounding, and unbiased observer can clearly see who is bringing instability to the world. and who is it? most people in the world want peace and an end to the conflict, but based on what we saw at the un general assembly, it seems pretty clear that not everyone wants that hail mopping our tea united nations, new york, the cold winter months in europe just around the corner thousands have taken to the streets in lieu men in germany, and they've been demanding to open the north stream to pipeline and restock corporation with russia on so the, i believe they wanted to hurt russia, but now they are harming us. the citizens. and we will continue to fight for nord stream to, to be open. but innovation, fantastic. roger young, the german government should hear that our objective is to open nord stream to and reconnect with the russian government as it has been for centuries. this is the only way russia and germany can bear through the router. while athena half a 1000 protesters gathered for the rally, according to local authorities,

people will waving flags and condemning the sanctions imposed on russia. and you can also see accounts a process denouncing russian gas impulse amid the conflict and ukraine. they were, however, jade unmade to leave the demonstration. but it wasn't the only protest in germany as thousands also rallied in the city of ploughing, demanding the resignation of the german government, possesses wave russian flights, criticizing the billing administration for skyrocketing energy prices, and also demanding to the opening of the north see see pipeline oxycontin recently to marsden, it was more details, apparently asking west chairs to jump through ridiculous, who's like showering together or with just a splash of water band take that poo isn't quite getting the job done it. we are experiencing a severe energy crisis triggered by the loss of energy production. russia has stopped delivering around 55000000000 cubic meters of gas. the amount that came vian or trim one new gas now has to be procured on the world market. in france,

more than half of the nuclear power plants have failed, causing major problems to the grid, which has also driven up prices. the 2 issues have triggered an external shock that has hit the country hard on both german consumers and companies. happy his singing a much more panicky tune than he was at the beginning of september when he tried to downplay concerns of catastrophic economic failure by explaining through some kind of magic math how german companies could avoid insolvency by just stopping production. like if you just play dead and don't move, you'll survive. sounds like he got confused with advice on how to handle an encounter with a wild russian bear, rather than a lack of russian gas. the western press, including forbes bloomberg, andy economist, have been warning since the summer of de industrialization and a factory exodus from germany in europe as a result of the block, suicidal energy policy. and now european manufacturers of steel,

fertilizer and other industrial staples are reportedly shifting operations to the u . s. it looks like europe is the industrialized itself and sending those jobs to america. clearly the big winner here is a cave. it's washington. no wonder the biden administration encouraged brussels to adopt only the most severe and suicidal sanctions. meanwhile, german chancellor off schultz has continued his global door knocking tour to beg for gas this time to saudi arabia, in a race against the clock before the german economy tanks. and having tried pretty much everything else with how incoming up, maybe he could just throw on a disguise a costume, go knock on gas from the door, and just tell them to flip the switch on the existing pipelines to germany. that berlin was foolish enough to let brussels sanction speaking of which another top european official seems to be changing his tune. well, back in april, the blocks chief diplomat, yoseph burrell said of the ukrainian conflict that quote, this war will be one on the battlefield. in announcing more european weapons in

cash for keith. but how to listen to what he's saying now when people say it is not a bluff, you have to take them seriously. a diplomatic solution that preserves the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine must be reached. otherwise, we can finish the war, but we will not have peace. summers barely come to a close and already europe's authoritarian anti russian. dogmatism is showing cracks, as it repeatedly smashes up against pragmatic reality. but exactly how far the blocks and elected officials will go in imposing economic devastation and social suffering before pulling from their self imposed nosedive still remains to be seen . u. s. forces allegedly stealing more than half of serious oil production, transporting tankers to their bases over in iraq. thus, according to an exclusive aussie interview with the syrian foreign minister,

woman yourself mirror, do you as continues to steal oil, gas, wheat, cotton and all the resources in some areas of syria? in a recent example, over $2.00 to $3.00 days, the united states move more than a 1000 oil tanks towards northern iraq. despite my understanding of the situation in the north, a south of iraq, we hope our dear brothers there, that they will not allow the u. s. to attack us from a rocky territory and plunder serious natural resources. i want to say that syria will hold the americans accountable for every drop of oil. they are stolen from us in front of the international community and the american people who should not support an aggressive policy towards another people. i'm having. according to the syrian foreign ministry, the u. s. is allegedly stealing around 80 percent off serious daily oil production, causing losses of over $100000000000.00 to series oil and gas sectors. around 900. yes. sure. earth troops are still based in syria after launching a campaign against i sell in 2014. with former

u. s. president dodge from by missing the mission was eventually mostly focused on serious oil fields. or we're keeping the, well, we have the oil, the oil is secure, or we left troops. b, i'd only for the oil. syria has raised the issue with the un, secure, a secretary general urging the u. s. to stop violating the syrian people's rights. the foreign minister again says the u. s. presence should end as it no longer helps fight terrorism in the country. home, since i have worn agilent damages and come out to us, must withdraw its army soon or later. they will withdraw. that's a fact. they will no longer be in syria. they can leave the country with minimal losses. the u. s. is not fighting terrorism in syria, this is a lie, syria, together with its allies and friends, represented by russia, is fighting against terrorism. it was with them that we fought against isis and your battle nursery, and also liberated many syrian territories. nepal hopes to become

a fully fledged member of the shanghai corporation organization. and it's according to the country's ambassador. and he said daisy shared moscow and cut monday his plan to develop a mechanism for mutual agreements in their respective national occurrences. megan megan mccain him like and didn't have to repeat versus a committee because it'll be less of the booking italy thing. but based on our one got it is not in a that should be closer to proper banking. the rest of the suck and then go prism that may be new persons with the recent shanghai corporation organization, summit, china and russia agreed a road map, so expand trade in their local currencies. last week, india announced that it is to trade in repeats with russia after developing a payment mechanism, enable it to do so. at last month,

turkey and russia signed an agreement for economic corporation that was see the russian rubel used in bilateral trade between the 2 countries. earlier we spoke with nepalese, journalist iraq, but i talkie who says the u. s. dominance and the influence of the dollar in decline. given the fact that russia student does not engage anybody a deeper manner with nepal. i think eaves flea towards these, you know, local currencies in a setting. i think it will make the, the ma, school start listening to think, you know, to more like to engage with nepal and maybe try to create its presence. it's not been economically now. the world is like multi polar b, u. s. dominance and it's superpower is declining over the years over the decades of partly because of china's rise to the global forum and the movement
