ah, ah ah, final referendum results in the headphone region with 96. the same thing gets to joining russia that says preliminary data and the done but for public from a region show over 90 percent in favor of correspondence support. from notation, we find ourselves at the information center here in the next good peoples republic . this place is the new heart of the referendum here in bill of guns, people's republic video evidence. and they're just showing what's been described as unprecedented damage to the north spin pipeline system with media came in possible,

sabotaged. also ahead with this situation has not changed. it's a complete sham from western countries. russian president vladimir putin says the ways to poke its promises for ukrainian grain to go to countries in need. as only a small fraction of supplies went to africa. with the senior russian military official is fired or the violation in mobilizing truth as federal authorities. they exist. drafting is unacceptable. a hello and welcome to international. we're coming to you from the russian capital. i'm policy and it's a pleasure to have you with us. we thought this hour without special coverage of

the referendum and the don bus public's and to break away ukrainian regions as the voting has finished. and the ballots are now being countered to determine whether they will join russia. ah, the has the polling stations have now closed off the civil days of accepting ballads. let's take a look at the numbers. we have the 1st,

a final results of the referendum have come in from the headphone region where 96.75 percent voted in favor of joining russia that says preliminary dart and the dentist republic shows 98.60 percent cast their ballots in favor that figure enters upper was your region was 92.74 percent, and in the la guns for public 98.52 percent the head of the look on for public says the results testify to the unity of the people there. the most important thing is that the referendum took place and we cast our votes as in the distant 2014 we united and showed our unity to the whole world. despite the fact that the ukranian nationalists did everything to prevent the referendum from taking place, they intimidated people, they shot us the pallets for the referendum in which we voted for joining russia are now being counted up. not easy goes down all them and gone for public and boom,

and course over the internet. portraits of details about the referendum results being tallied. the 5 day voting process is now over. the voting areas have now been closed and the count had begun. now we already know that the turnout had this referendum was very high. the 1st fell, 4 days of the voting took place with the referendum committee walking around from home to home, asking people to cast their about. and now we find ourselves at the information center here in the people's republic. it's working. why can say 247, but it's working well into the late night. and this is where the results of the final results. oh, will be announced. we are expecting to hear something ah, by about 10 o'clock or moscow time in the evening. but judging from what

we have seen sold for her in the counting of the vote of the results will be overwhelming in favor of fire, jordan, washer, or little girl. no one forces us to come, you can feed yourself, people can voluntarily, i'm so happy i'm about to cry. you blocker. people are crying with joy. there were people from the russian control territories in ukraine for said you this day has finally come. i'm so glad a leave to see of this day. i am really happy if come a long way and have been waiting for it for ages. those were some more voters that i spoke with over the last 5 days of the voting. once again, they came out in mass to to show their support, to do their civic duty if you will. now, many of them have tears in their eyes. they were waiting for this day for the last

8 years and is finally arrived. well, this place is the new heart of the referenda here in the la guns people's republic . this is the place where all the information, all the results from every single election committee flocked to and this is where the they're being made public at the screen over there. and indeed here it is. the atmosphere is quite celebratory. the referendum came and is successful despite all efforts of the key of government, of the key of military who were trying to intimidate the local population here as much as possible to make them stay at home and not come to vote. despite all that, people here are happy. people here can't wait to finally see and find out the final figures. and this is the reality you won't really see are on the western media won't see on your t v. 's. if you're living in europe, for example, according to them, this referendum is a forced one. for example, according to the take of the german foreign minister. this referendum here and all

others were happening at gunpoint. this vote it did happen at gunpoint at the guns were pointing from the side of the cave forces. and again, i can't reiterate this enough. they were shelling civilian infrastructure. they were shelling people's homes and houses and well trying to make them stay at home, trying to scare them into not voting again. this did not happen, but our crew did prepare a report on this. here you go. cave has repeatedly claimed ownership over the citizens of don bass, and at the same time has been doing everything in its power to antagonize them. it's military has been shelling the population here with how it is and have you rocket launchers. planes dropped bombs on people's homes and children. and now the authorities and cave making it abundantly clear that anyone who is dropping ballots into the ballot boxes at the referendum will be persecuted with no mercy. ukraine proposed up to 5 years in prison for anyone who dares to vote. and that's just the

tip of the iceberg of repression. there's a plethora of ways to lose all humanity and keep xyz here and be condemned with the stigma of being a so called russian collaborator, 8 years of war, have somewhat numbed the people here to the outright abhorrence coming from caves, government, which considers them its subjects but while they're used to it, it doesn't mean they aren't hard broken. no, it's such a bitter feeling when your mother land turns its back on you. well, the land you had always thought to be your mother land. it's very sad need that the one you i am so angered by there, but this is wool. that's all i can say when you know crazy. we owns living in ukraine. we're living in the la guns republic. and we do hope they won't be able to get the hands on us, not near the stone. and sure all these threads could have been a bluff grand standing at an international level. a tray can ukraine's domestic

policy game, but key of itself shattered all hopes of that. all calibrators who somehow reveal their names, there is a whole list of the surnames. they are all people who have signed that death sentences. we are not bloodthirsty. we are officially saying that will only accept legal decision life sentences for traitors. as citizens of the don boss flocked to the polling stations and the millions. it's not just ukraine that remains oblivious to their plea. germany's tub. diplomat, anna, lena, burbock. ow did caves own propagandists when she suggested the real situation with the vote here resembles a poorly written r rated movie? and it does, yes. people have voting with a gun pointing at their heads. and this is exactly what touch referendums are about . people are shot at raped and then obliged to very well, a soldier on to the kalashnikov is standing right next to them. if we now accepted and let it be,

then it will be repeated in other places. it will serve as an invitation to further violate international laws. as western politicians and media pushed the narrative over, people voting at gunpoint. reality on the ground points to a very different threat facing those wanting to cost vote at polling stations. public areas and the don bass are being shelled by the ukranian military. every day . he was under cover hitman bomb pro russian officials and liberated regions on a regular basis. diversion groups are also active behind the defensive lines, but the german foreign minister chose to emit all of that. it doesn't fit ukraine's heroic facade promoted so hard in the west. they're locked into this narrative and it's so been ongoing since 2014, that the people of the dumbass have no agency of their own that they are essentially ultimate owns are doing city. so that was obvious and that's

how the west will interpret any election or referendum outcome. the problem is that they haven't come up with any evidence of this. show us the evidence that that people are being forced at gunpoint to go and vote there. isn't it about a quarter of the population here are holders of russian passports, just under a 1000000 people whom you crane is eager to evict to the 21st century gulags. and that's to start with, under the proposed bill drawn up in co authorship with members of the as of neo nazi group. freedom of speech goes out of the window, support every whim of ukraine's government or be jailed. collaborators will be considered those citizens who have denied the armed aggression against ukraine and the occupation of its territories, or have publicly called for support for the aggressor, for co operation with the occupiers. the final, in the most decisive day of the referendum is here. and it's about to show just how

many people have decided to personally sign their divorce papers with ukraine once and for all hamburgers done of reporting from the la ganske people's republic or t around one and a half 1000000 people had caused their votes in internet for public by the end of the 4th day of voting in the new guns for public, the latest data shows the turnout exceeded 90 percent. while in the hassan mens operation regions, the tenant was roughly the same. at 63 and 66 percent, respectively. we spoke to the president of the bricks, international foreign pony mat on on to came to the dumbass as an international observer. she says the mood of people that contradicts the waste and establishment narrative. i found that to people about home, we were hearing that they are under the gunpoint or they are having go controlled by that issue. and i really found that they're very 3. they're participating a friend, m like a celebration and festival, and li,

really giving message to the world that there is no fear, nor any pressure, and they are taking their own right. he went, ocean garment did not by display do. they only provided logistic and infrastructure to their along the lines and don't stick people to conduct double dean. when you come to the real grounds, then you will understand what is the unity from my united nation office. you can not say everything. so this is not what they were in international media is going on and it is most of the time there is a fake news. during last 9 months, we observed that so many fake news circulated to the by the western media to western world world world. what the final, it's still been counted, will keep you updated on the results and what the future holds for these regions.

ah, the u as secretary of state has emphasized that kids forces have a right to use american weaponry against the dumbass, as well as the bakery ukrainian regions office up of osha and has done no matter whether or not they choose to join russia. bill, the u. s. still allow ukrainian troops to use us weaponry to defend against russians in those territories, no matter what the outcome of these referendums and this, these possible annexations ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself throughout its territory, including to take back the territory that has been illegally seized one way or another by russia. while for more nak, let's close tacos fund and caleb now pen in new york. caleb,

a warning statement from the u. s. secretary of state, what's behind it? so essentially we have a situation where if the referendums do result in the dog bass regions joining the russian federation, the united states would then give its blessing to an attack on russian territory with weapons that it supplied to the government in gear. now that is a red line as far as rush. ready is concerned, russia will not allow russian territory to be attacked. now this is quite an important statement. we heard from the u. s. secretary of state. and it comes as the united states and nato continue to insist that they're not involved in the conflict dislike supplying weapons. this is the nato chief we need to ensure that this doesn't evolve into full fledged war in europe.

we do the appalled plant by being very clear that nato and they draw laws are not the part to, to the conflict. what we do is to support your crane, but you don't need to troops in ukraine of adult, of natal planes in the air. but we provide support to crane not, there's not to be ported to the conflict. these words come from the nato chief, but they simply don't match the reality. there is a flow of weapons from the nato countries to the government in kiev. and furthermore, we've heard many representatives of russia at the international arena. describe how the governance is not really sovereign at all. it is simply a kind of a manifestation of nato power, that the decisions that the government you have make are not representative of any force within you grand, their representative of what the nato countries want. they don't really have the ability to exercise self determination. so despite the fact that nato and united

states are now saying they're not involved out the, you are secretary of state coming forward and giving his official blessing to the government. attacking russian territory. not using these weapons just are in this conflict, but actually attacking territory that would be part of the russian federation. russia says that is a red line as far as they are concerned. so these are quite important words. you can notice that anti blanket made them kind of off the coffee wasn't too excited as he was making them. those words are a very, very big deal as far as international relations are concerned. and then it makes the referendums that are taking place the day and the possible outcome in the next couple weeks. so something that everyone in the global community is going to be paying very close attention to setting a very big deal our t cause funding caleb mountain. thanks so much for that update. sabotaged can not people don't. well, that's a comment from denmark's point minister on damage to the north screen pipeline is

that resulted initial tropic and pressure? it's hot, tim mentioned that it was an accident. we can not rule at sabotage, but it's also too early to make such a conclusion. this is a video from the location of the leak, according to swedish media sides monitors, have registered tofal blast from the area and that countries authorities have begun in investigation into possible sabotage. the criminal has called the situation quote, unprecedented saying the reason why the pipeline system has developed problems remains to be determined. but no possible scenario could be excluded which entails nano rich. 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. last year, not in one,

accounted for 35 percent of russian gas exports to europe, the pipeline appliance with a blessed and lisa suspended with guests from fighting maintenance reason. now with the latest incident, it's unclear when the pipeline will once again be operational. earlier, my colleague nicki aaron discussed the matter with our teeth, marina cos forever. we have sweden saying that it has 2 leagues, has discovered leaks, and it's in the north to one pipeline. benmark discovered that leaks on the north and 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 stream have to say. damage to 3 sections of the nord stream pipeline system in only one day is 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 coincidental is not really on the cause. 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 same even years. and right now this is critical with winter approaching this energy prices that were seen unfold and could become even worse if the pipelines are completely not operational. what are the possible scenarios? what could have happened here somewhere saying that if this was a target to the tack like the german daily, for example, we're saying that everything speaks against the coincidence numb quotes in here, we cannot imagine a scenario that this is not a target to the time. but a targeted attack would involve, i read it and some of the reports would involve a submarine, someone literally go in the onto the water and cause and 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 fu stands to benefit from the class. we know that there is an energy crisis unfolds, and this is, of course, a sensitive time in russia. we have the conflicts on for them with 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 on pipeline. so supplies have been halted completely, so the european union has had to look for alternative solutions. they're looking for other suppliers. among them we have the united states. energy prices are skyrocketing, of course, some reports are 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 some points about the notes from 2 pipeline to russia. invasion that meas,

tanks or troops crossing the the border of ukraine again, then there will be we, there will be no longer a north stream to we. we will bring it into how will you do that? exactly. since the project and control of the project is within germany's control, i promise you will be able to do this. my wife and gas prices, the german energy network regulated chief has claimed that the you is no longer dependent on north stream gas supplies. it mixed up with that the situation dads were, maintains ica, hey mo, an economist and publisher of the vert shaft actual business newsletter says the situation is actually far worse than politicians are trying to portray it is more something that make suspicion that gives a thought for conspiracy theory and so on. and then of course the americans

are we need from this the brief. 1 we need from least the politics already, of course said yes, no problem. everything is fine. but if we get interrupt, this will have a much, much cost in the economy. it makes it much further damage because when you're not reliable anymore with your sources, germany is not the good producing occasion anymore, and this will harm the economy much more that anybody can see. it's a complete sham. that's how the russian leader vladimir putin describes the width promise to export grain from ukrainian port to the world's most impoverished countries. saying and according to the latest data on september 23rd out of 203 ships with grain that 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. visitation is very dramatic and why my port no later 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 report has also described their wishes countries. behavior is predatory here reminded as you heard earlier, that only 2 percent of the grain had so far left the unblocked ukrainian pores following the break through un and turkey. broker deal went to the countries in needs while maced over directly was sent to the you, while the whole idea was to help starving africa. well, it seems that african keys are still waiting. here's the president of caney,

a sharing his anger and his concerns. these unprecedented confluence of intensely adverse events. how's accessor baited? what does custody? and starvation wasn't by rising food prices. that's complicating can yes. roadmap to was delivering good quality of life to our citizens. we cannot afford to waste another moment debating the merits of doing something, visit the doing nothing. it will soon be too late to revive the course of events, and then even the best possible intervention would not survive. wagner potent has also pointed out that in this unstable situation, in the worlds where i should think about its own food security and here, sure, there will be no problems with that. as base here are the harvest promises to be a record hard experts say that it may easily reach 150000000 tons of grain of which 2 thirds will be so desperately needed. week

regional military comma thought has been sacked in russia on east, on allegations that under his watch, ineligible people were being caught up to fight in ukraine. the dismissal occurred after the governor of the mug on regent requested a complaint from some of those conscripted he looked into. he learned that areas had occurred as the previous military administration had mishandled the regions. conscription record mega dunn is not the only region where people have been mobilized by mistake. over in flooding year in western russia, a cardiologist and mother of to receive this summons and was taken to a training facility that was despite her being exempt from conscription, even in the case of mobilization after checks, she was sent back home. it also happened to a 59 year old senior lieutenant in central russia who lacked combat experience, but was also caught up in the southern austria han region. 2 more cases was reported and resolved, and in the bulk of all region of western russia,

75 such cases were discovered by forties after multiple complaints. such errors have been vehemently condemned by senior russian officials. we have seen information from the regions about cases of incorrect mobilization. it seems that somewhere local authorities admit that it is more important to report quickly than to perform an important state task. qualitatively such excesses are absolutely unacceptable. it is important that the partial mobilize ation takes place in accordance with legislation and we listen to any appeals. it is correct to deal with each case separately. if a mistake is made, it is necessary to correct it. we will not leave any one alone with any problems, elliptical analyst and treat that. it says that although mistakes, train, rushes mobilization are being corrected. the western establishment media still wants to blow it out of proportion. unfortunately, it's a necessity. this migration is any mistake made mistakes are correct that you know,

you need 300000 men of course, or 300000 men. there will be a few mistakes, but hopefully they will be all correct from the very beginning the president was very clear. who is going to be mobilized, and especially small group who is going to be sent to the frank in ukraine. and unfortunately, is a western media is prepared to lie, you know, to see, or to make a semblance overarching defeat for its audiences. of course people are nervous, of course people are concerned, even if you give them the best assurances they always suspect the was they are always afraid. this isn't human nature. but the majority of people in our stance, this is a necessity. volunteers have been streaming to dawn, but since the beginning of their all of these escalation in february, hopefully we will little by little adapt to the new see creation and mistakes will

happen less often. while that brings us to the end of the lesson. as always, you can hit our website for more news and views that are t dot com more for myself and the news we have in moscow. thanks so much for joining us. ah, ah. the news. oh, i

mean we want them to wells apart, being a generous friend and the enemy is a maxim advocated by many ethical and religious traditions, which until recently also had its place in joe politics. the whole court was of international law was written and upheld on the premise of a minimum of stability that states would show to one another as a safeguard against an all out war. what could possibly bring that spirit back to global affairs? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by adrenal cassandra london based political analysts and we can sell from agile is great.
