will support we choose to look for common ground with a referendum on joining russia more to were close on the final day of voting in the independent republic sent to ukrainian with an old stream pipeline operator. things has been unprecedented damage to the system resulting in a shop in prussia. german media claims possible sabotaged 17 people are killed including 11 children as a school shooting devastated pay central russian city with

hello and welcome. it's 3 pm here in the russian capital. and this is dorothy international with the latest world news update is good to have you with. well, we thought the, our by looking at the referendums that are taking place in the republics, i don't. yes. and the new dance going to other regions, apples, yankee hassan. it is. of course, the final day of voting if locals decide whether they want to become a part of russia. ah.

voter turnout is on the referendums. full day supposed to be crucial. a 50 percent threshold in all of the regions according to local officials, meaning that moscow will now recognize the results as valid. now, around 1500000 people had caused that votes and the doors were public by the end of the full day of voting. and the guns republic, the latest data shows the turnout exceeded 90 percent. well, any cast on ins? apples. yeah. regions turn out is roughly the same at 63 and 66 percent respectively. as he spoke to international observers who gave their assessments on the voting recheck, cross the border and directly, you know to this for point of voting before to see when the russian city of stuff are quite a lot of refugees from this territories. gina green us. so we already had a chance to visit our point of holding jer, interestof. and what we saw there was,

according to the normal standards of elections. we heard from several locals who came to the polling station to vote, and were quite emotional about it. sneaks jordan to learn to rule. no one forces us to come. you can see yourself. people come voluntarily. i'm so happy. i'm about to cry. lead you block away. people crying with chinese. people from the russian control territories in ukraine for saturday, please. there has finally come, i'm so glad a leave to see the status of that. i'm really happy. we've come a long way and have been waiting for it for ages while after or 4 days of the referendum, which was held by mulberry referendum groups that were going from a house to house, asking people to co terrans who we saw a really high number is actually, at least 86 percent of the voters here that as people's republic half cast their ballots. and finally, on the 5th day,

how appalling stations like this once have opens up. and so, of course, this is absolutely of free will. of course, the turnouts are in old regions that are holding the referendum has been, are really great. everyone has passed their 50 percent a threshold, and that means that the referendum i had been declared valid on the old territories in don, boston's upper osha and in the care san as, as well. people are turned out to vote in the referendum here and, and s people's republican logan's hind here, saunas a pearl. yet, despite the fact that ukrainian nationalists are constantly trying to disrupt the voting process by constantly firing their artillery against that peaceful civilians, we all receive reports on a daily basis for civilians being killed off. a critical civilian infrastructure damaged at this point says thousands of people are still without running water without electricity. now,

as several people have been arrested in various regions for trying to organize terrorist acts as well, according to local officials in law, gaskins, a barrels. yeah. well, i here in that done their skirts as well. like i said, ukraine constantly. shells at the city. they fired a cluster munitions in their several districts here in dot net sca. and so they spread the so called anti personnel. that's all mines. they're very unnoticeable on the grounds, and once a person has steps on them, on them, they will be main full life. so for at least one more than 7 people have become victims of these pitfall. mine's well despite all that, people are still coming out to vote in very large numbers in don boss in don't ask alone, are more than 86 percent have voted. as for the results of for the referendum,

i hear in done ask, at least in finance people's republic, we are expecting a preliminary statements a little bit later in the evening today. while the official numbers will probably come out on wednesday morning. and we are expecting more people to join to caster volts. now local authorities have declared today at day off, so people have no excuse and not to come and to, to cast their ballot or with a voting thing to wrap up. we'll keep you updated on the results on what the future holds for these regions. ah, a reported drop in pressure in both the nod stream $1.00 and $2.00 pipelines is being considered an unprecedented situation as, according to the kremlin. which is that the reason why the lines have developed

problems remains unknown and no possible scenario could be excluded which entails. and this is very concerning news. it's true that we're talking about some kind of damage to the pipeline and denmark, economic zone. although the exact nature of the damage is yet to be determined, the pressure in the pipeline has significantly drops. this is an unprecedented situation and it must be immediately investigated. joining the studio to discuss this further results is marina cause we're the thank you for coming in marina. so what do we know about what happens so far? well, we have to pipelines, right? so 1st we have sweet and saying that it has to leaks, it has discovered to leaks and it's in the nordstrom one pipeline. then denmark discovered the leaks on the nordstrom to pipeline. and this, of course, comes after germany was also reporting a drop in pressure in both pipelines. now, this situation is extremely rare. it doesn't just happen like that. that's why everyone is saying, how could this have happened? and was there anyone involved?

was this perhaps an act of sabotage, but we'll talk about that a little bit later. first, let's hear what the operator of north street has to say. damage to 3 sections of the nord stream pipeline system in only one day as unprecedented. it is currently impossible to know how long it will take to restore this infrastructure to operational condition. so a situation where this would be just transcendental is not really on the card. exactly, but right now what's also tricky is that there are conflicting reports as to how long it will take to fix the situation. some say months, others are saying even years. and right now this is critical with whence are approaching this energy crisis that we're seeing unfolding could become even worse if this is completely, if the pipelines are completely not operational. marino, what are the possible scenarios? what could have happened here? well, some are saying that if this was a targeted attack like the german daily,

for example, we're saying that everything speaks against the coincidence and i'm quotes. and here we cannot imagine a scenario that this is nor at targets at the time. but a targeted attack would involve, i read it in some of the reports, but involve a submarine, someone literally go and stay under the water and causing damage. this kind of damage because like i said, this is extremely rare for such a leak to happen. and here we're talking about really already. so who stands to benefit from that? you class? we know that there is an energy crisis unfolding in your bratia is supplied 35 percent of europe's gas supplies. this is, of course, a sensitive time in russia. we have the conflicts unfold them, but the crane, russia has already hold to the supplies to 20 percent from the north stream. one pipeline north through 2 is idle right now at the moment and we have the sanctions . and we also had a technical difficulty which affected the north stream one pipeline. so supplies

have been halted completely. so the european union has had to look for alternative alternative solutions. they're looking for other suppliers. among them we have the united states. energy prices are skyrocketing, of course, we're talking about some reports saying that they haven't seen energy prices like that in 25 years. and here's an interesting point. let's hear what the us president has to say at one point about the notes from to pipeline. if russia invades that means tanks or troops crossing the on the border of ukraine, again, there are no, there will be we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we. we will figure that, how will you do that exact way, since the product and control of the product is within germany's control, i promise you will be able do. okay, so we're at the moment a seems like a bit of a mystery as to what exactly happened,

but we'll keep reporting on and following the story and i keep across a bit. thanks to coming with those details. marina. thank you. he central russian city of asia asked remains in shaw. coff has 17 people were killed including 11 children until then 20 others wounded in a devastating school shooting a warning, the following video which shows people trapped to in the building during the attack is distressing. ah, you could you look ah, which couldn't sna my due to routinely on high for you was has i feel she very could find my love. he's very much. i thought she was joking. that is, it turned out she was a former student of this

school, a 34 year old man named are shown because on so if he actually lived just 250 meters away from here. and according to his neighbors, they say he was a calm, quiet, lonely person. he was rarely seen with any sort of friends when he saw people in the street that he knew he would just pass by them without saying hello. now, as for the actual reasons for why he carried out this attack, there are a number of theories because we heard from the russian education ministry. they said that he was actually diagnosed with skits of friend. yes. so it is possible that there was some psychological aspect to this that may have caused him to take that step to commit this mass shooting in this school. but we also heard from kremlin spokespersons or matri pest, called who said he might have been a member of a neo nazi organization because after all, he was found by russia's investigative committee with a swastika on his shirt. unfortunately, we may never know the actual reasons for why he decided to do this because he

committed suicide after killing all those people. and the russian investigative committee has not reported yet that he left behind. and he sort of stated reasons or notes as to why he carried out this horrific attack. russia's investigative committee has determined that at least 17 people were killed in this attack. and that's mostly children. students who went to school that day, expecting a day like any other. instead they said good bye to their parents that morning, not understanding that it was their last good bye. i mean, surviving students had been talking to the media, telling stories about how they were barricading themselves in classrooms to, in a desperate attempt to escape the bloodshed. and so these are classrooms that became made shift fortresses filled with crying, fearful children who are gonna have to live the rest of their lives with the trauma of what happened here. and the fear that it might happen again in the wake of the devastating attack locals have been traveling to the school to mourn the victims and lay flowers. we heard from some of them including those whose children were in

the school that day. now come and get off kibble. i haven't to get his coach. i was in a business trip when i read messages in the group chat about what was happening at the school, how a children survived. but it still has so much. i do not know how i'll help my children deal with this trauma. my boys are 14 years old and they've been strong to friends of my son are in a coma. now. if they don't make it, i do not know how, i'll explain it to him. to look reality would see me if he did that. waltz cannot express these pain. i have 2 girls who write school myself. i couldn't help but common ma, new victims. it is very scary. keep her children safe nursery . much good. oh, my daughter is in the 1st crate at this school. i can. she didn't go to school yesterday. this is all horrifying. the us is not fooling anyone. nice how the indian minister of external affairs, these,

the u. s. president's decision to is send military age to pakistan. very honestly, it's, it's, it's a relationship that has an either ended up solving pocket barnwell, not solving american interest for someone to say, i'm doing this because it is fall. counterterrorism, when you are talking of an aircraft like capability of the 60, i don't really, everybody knows where they are deployed and what is the use and what is that paper? so, you know, you're not falling anybody by saying these things. what india few mean india is very unhappy or was the f. 16 deep by the us. the foreign affairs minister when dad dr. s. j. shank. god has planned the bite and administration's proposal of providing nearly $450000000.00 worth of fans and

military assistance to box time. not every time us to provide these beckons to baka sunday use against india. f. 16 f. 86, f 104. so why does all of them have been used against india? the latest, for example, was f 16 being used in india in 20. 19 after the strike wanting to said india is a strategic partner over the us many years. so why board america knowing very well that this deal with pockets on is going to put one of itself close friends, make de la wallace applied. now india has made it very clear to americans that india does not want ethic students being operational. it is a big headache for india, a headache. india does not want. we discussed this with a policy unless you say new delhi shouldn't be worried because pakistan would not

use the weapons against india. it's a good, much less than sense or, and yet doesn't, as you know, is a lingering threat. pakistan has a significant success, produced it within its skeletons and the pool that need real honest on the old. so goodness and improvement in the st. louis distribution. however, the trick is not completely validated, which is why august on the general and boston air force in particular, needs to meet dean, typical, credible, and reliable counters, and give the ability that is by gaining operational capability of senior. it's very important. and in that case, i think these concerns are unnecessary and irrelevant

because you're aware that the songs mean effort has been a huge verizon during the last thing we want is. meanwhile, india's foreign minister say new delhi is dependent on russian defense equipment, along with it, strong relations with moscow on not linked to an unwillingness to cooperate with america. he stresses their relations with russia strengthen significantly in the 19 sixty's as the u. s. didn't want to supply india with defense equipment. this was not due to a lack of trying on india's part. i know 1st hand what great efforts were made over those years to try to make us understand that it was in american interests to have a strong united, independent, prosperous india in. so we do and we had a buy next step as it goes to the partnership where rush, i'd give everybody that is number one. and then for the basic,

if shipment and the fundamentals of our fighting black homes are all of so we had a strong permission issue. and once the report systems come into force, they last for many years for the 5060 years. so our furniture. so we're doing in a later ratio was back to the sixty's when america was i know completely understand and i know the box on the other parts of the world. we are not very friendly. so i think that is the reason why we went because the americans did not have the bus. and michelle are very forthcoming us it's the complete shock that's our russian leader vladimir putin describes the west's promise to expose the grain from ukrainian port to developing countries for sustaining. and that about $632.00 according to the latest data on september 23rd

out of $203.00 ships with grain the left from ukrainian ports. only 4 went to impoverish countries as a part of the u. n. program. this situation has not changed. it's a complete sham from western countries. that's good morning from our correspondent maria the notion. and now maria, thanks for joining us. so what's the latest situation with the grain supplies a? can we see this grain ever reaching the countries that needed the most? well, yes. hi, nikki. the situation is very dramatic and why my poor today has accused the west of provoking and now deepening global food crisis, mostly by sanctioning supplies of russian grain and fertilizers that the harvest is so dependent on abroad. he tries that the dramatic situation folding now has nothing to do with moscow's special military operation in ukraine. but the responsibility lies completely on the collective west and a sanctions fever. one reporter has also described the richest countries behavior is predatory here, reminded as you heard earlier,

that only 2 percent of the grain that so far left the unblocked ukrainian pores following the break through un and turkey broker deal went to the country the needs while mesa directly was sent to the you while the whole idea was to help starving africa. while it seems that african keys are still waiting. here's the president of caney sharing his anger and his concerns. these unprecedented confluence of intensely adverse events has excessive bated. what does cassidy and starvation wasn't by rising food prices that's complicating kenyatta roadmap was delivering good quality of life to our citizens. we cannot afford to waste another moment debating the merits of doing something. v doing nothing. it will soon be too late to revive the course of events and then even the best possible

interventions will not survive. one or 14 has also pointed out that in this unstable situation in the world where i should think about its own food security and here. sure, there will be no problems with that. as these here are the harvest promises to be a record. hoary experts say that it may easily reach 150000000 tons of grain, of which 2 thirds will be so desperately needed wheat. back to you, maria. many thanks for the update their thirty's maria phenomena with the details in q k. well, iran has accused us of using reason. unrest to try to destabilize the country, comes off, the people took to the streets following the death of a 22 year old kurdish woman. early this month. as after she fell into a coma following her detention by the morality police. his art is that sophia newness with more as evidence, largest anti government processed in a decade have been spreading across the country. the west continues to poor fuel on

the fire. the mass rally started in response to the death of a young woman who died after being detained on accusations of violating. they slum mac republic, he job mandate as she wore it so loosely. iranian women have been the face of the past, week's demonstrations, some raping of their head scarves and burning them while fellow protestors have cheered them on. and now terence is claiming that this sentiment has been seized upon by the wes and followers that don't wish iran well. the u. s. is long attempted to undermine iran stability and security to no avail. it can't hide its nefarious designs. loosening communications sanctions while keeping maximum pressure in place, both meant to provoke instability bids to violate around sovereignty won't go unanswered. even though there is no concrete proof or at least publicly available. however, it's worth pointing out a couple of things that would suggest to some, that iran isn't being paranoid, saying the u. s. decision to reverse some of its own sanctions on iran,

so the processors would have why their internet access. and that's nothing new for america. they did the same thing during 2018, brought us in iran. we worked with technological companies to help free flow of information in provide circumvention tools that helped in last week's protest. we are able to sponsor v p ends and that allows iranians to use the internet. also, the u. s. often begins to amplify the voice of dissidents, of course, without mentioning their financial motivations. in the case of this latest protest in iran, one particular voice has been given special attention, produce leonard republic. ah, this is like the berlin world. if we care to swell down than does that make a public want exist. so that is why it's different because clearly iranian want to know chunking, destiny, dictators, and that scares the regime. we get the message that i started, there's nothing there probably isn't power in america. i am not safe. as far as is, i think the public is in poverty. no one is faith. this iranian boy acts of his

sweat to america over a decade ago. and since then, but particular in recent base has been splashed across the covers of magazines. and in by that there's a guest on mainstream media, all these tonisha mens pouring forth from these lamp republic. perhaps the most remarkable is the fact that iran was brought to this point, at least in part, by an unpaid 46 year old mother working from an f b. i safe house in new york city massey and, and jobs in the rain in journalist who was driven into exile, fit in years ago, has helped galvanized the countries women and mass in some 10000000 followers and her social media sites. well, that's not quite true. unpaid, she is on the u. s. government payroll and has been since 2014. when she joined the washington found that voice of america. she has also today, reportedly received an estimated $628000.00 in federal money. and to be clear, no one is challenging her activism, but all that certainly does not do anything to contradict. parents claim that washington is invested in best obliging i ran the protest have not just revealed

washington's hope to see regime change in iran. accelerate passively, but also the europe delusional self perception. here is their latest statement on the situation in the islamic republic. for the e. u and its members states the wide spread and disproportionate use of force against non violent protesters is unjustifiable and unacceptable. people in iran, as anywhere else, have the right to peaceful protest that right must be insured in all circumstances . therefore, we expect iran to immediately stop the violent crack down on protests. and in short, internet access as well as the free flow of information. really. but what about scenes of police violently suppress and corbett black down processors or the french yellow bass movement with many of those protests are shocked by the authority with robert boyce ah

ah ah, and even more so we're sam. you state selling muslim women what to wear or rather what, not swear by banning islamic males in public. and as for the free flow of information, the chances are manual view who are watching r t right now. i doing it online, very vpn. that is because we've had our license revoked across much of the western world as have numerous other russian channels. the speed with which washington and brussel sprouts on the misfortunes of their rivals and push for their downfall while pretending to be objective only further expose as they own hypocrisy. so many

thanks for keeping his company here and i see international as well for me for today, but my colleague policy will be here with the latest news updates in about 30 minutes . ah ah ah, a ah a

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development. i am getting to disease . i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very katy killed time. time you sit down and talk this way. give us a good overview of yes. you arms desirable. what i to one could bring up and we're good benito smart owners thursday. sort of the ritual to the public search for make sure we can start it for those new school with a new and easy or the non us as well. so it was gotten more scores and i still wasn't develops of another to was just go there is to get on with is just get people in the bottom of it. so it smith and we were just new more to pick up more

with both of them. is who i stay at. cs don't up on you. so if this one did somehow some i didn't touch those close to the door and you folks got through the barber. i witnessed them both and soon we spoke briefly. brussel still holding it a visa card and you can afford it. so i was teaching anesthesia store by beating by stitch news, which, which is still not good. so you always ask you to piece through these people home seems been going to kick these if you cynical mccord spoke to grandma without any series of approval. yes, 3rd is this new spirit, any of the supreme in each one? such a domino can store to mooney my, mr. nico down with the pyramid shirt and william gordon's album shirts is, are near.
