is open, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with yes, the own joint in russia. that's how the referendums and don't bath and to other regions ended with the locals voting to succeed from ukraine. where from people on the ground about how they feel about the garden. no one forces us to come. you can feed yourself and people come voluntarily. i'm so happy i'm about to cry. i'm really happy. we've come a long way and i've been waiting for it for ages. as western countries labeled the referendum of a sham and refused to recognize the results in russia about this of the year when accuses them, a double stand with recognition as such takes place only of approved in the west

that i just critics of referenda in the don't boss raja and coastal regions were at one time at the forefront of support as independent. no referendums were held in kosovo to the 1st the jubilee can be nodes, train one pipeline a j as well. po does form a foreign minister, hidden fits us, sabotaged with one welcome. it's 1 pm here in moscow, and this is all t international with the very late has world news. it's good to have you with us. now we start with our top story today, when millions across for regions of voted decisively in favor of joining russia also brings the latest on the referendums. in the dorm bass republics don't yet scans a gun scanned to other regions for those yet unco song. final results in the don't get republic indicates over just over 99 percent voted to join russia with elegance,

with public showing a 98 percent voting in favor in the regions of samples yet. and tests on polling results, showed 93 percent, and 87 percent respectively voting in favor of joining russia with the highest turnouts. impose to the pose with a don. yes. republic. whatever. 2000000 people caused that votes over 1600000 voted in against republic, one in both castorena anzac for those year regents. i have a 1000000 went to the polls. we spoke to the president of the bricks, international forum who was part of the international monitoring team and don boss, she say, the mood of the people that contradicts the western narrative. i found there 2 people about whom we would hearing that the are under a gunpoint or having go controlled by that issue. now to be found that they're ready, they're participating. and i find them like a celebration and friends degree and lead yearly giving message to the world that

there is no fear nor any pressure, and they are taking their own right. your window sion garment did not participate, do they only provided logistic and infrastructure along the lines and don't stick people to conduct the voting. when you come to the grounds, then you will understand what did the unity from my united nation office. you can not see everything. so this is not what they were in international media is going on. i think most of the time the, the fake news during last 9 months, we observed that so many fake news circulated to the by the western media to eastern word code words. the vote was the key item for discussion at the united nations security council meeting. whether you s denied the legitimacy of the referendum or thing, rushes on bus that you remind the west of its own history with break away regions. recognition as such takes place only if approved in the west is in general. the

western version of democracy has deteriorated into a dictates of a liberal minority over conservative majority figured out his credit source of reference and the dom bus is a foreclosure on coastal regions in were at one time and the full front of support for cosello's independence. no references were held in kosovo to include only a declaration of independence adopted by the provisional self governing body in excess of its powerful server. but back then it was enough for the west to recognize cosello's independent brazilian fillings issue. while the un security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations, convened the meeting today in the security council chamber. now, immediately russia spoke up at the beginning of the meeting, making clue that they objected to the fact that it is vladimir zalinski. the grand resident was given a platform mobile just being via video link to the un security council meeting. they said clearly that this was simply turning the un security council chamber into a place to put on political shows to serve a geopolitical agenda. it did not fit with the rules of the you and russia made

clear their objections. and then we heard from rosemary decarlo under secretary we heard from zalinski who then address leah video length and then and when members of the security council spoke, it was very clear that there were differences among the major countries. now we heard from both russia and the united states bowling permanent members of the security council here is the clear differences between the 2. we know the outcomes of these sham referenda were predetermine in moscow. they in no way represent a legitimate expression of the will of the ukrainian people. i'd like to say that the referendums were conducted transparently upholding old electro norms. more than 100 independent international observers from 40 countries observed the referendum. they gave their opinions to the media, but unfortunately, you won't have this in western media story that might be carried out with weapons provided to kia by the united states. this is what anthony blank and said shortly

before the un security council meeting. will the us 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. now, the nato chief also made clear that while nato countries are supplying weapons to the government that they do not consider nato to be part of the ongoing conflict. they consider this to be a fight between ukraine and russia as well. nato is supportive of ukraine. they are not directly involved. regardless, that was the context in which the un security council meeting took place. now the un security council is tasked with making sure world peace ingenue and deescalate

and conflicts. but it seems like, as russia pointed out, the un security council was just using the platform for grand standing, just as a place to put on political shows to demonize russia when real danger to world peace and the possibility of this conflict escalating too much greater heights. are hanging over our heads as a result of the response of the united states and its allies to the referendum phase gale. a us based radio host and political commentator phase, the west challenge the results of the referendums, even before the 1st 1st boat was cost. so kind of ironic that the u. s. government with secretary state lincoln is challenging the, the results of these referendums, when you had dozens of international observers watching them, watching them take place. and you know, universally saying that these were legitimate election results in the us. if you question election results, it's called treason, but apparently the us government can jalap election results that again have been observed by international observers and,

and verified to be accurate. this part of ukraine, the eastern portion of the best region, and others that have been under fire by the militia in ukraine for the last 567 years. and the irrational community hasn't done anything to stop the violence of being directed at the center sense of a if they are these people are heading to the. busy polls while literally ukraine is bombing and shelling their community. so i can imagine that anybody would doubt that you're going to vote against being loyal to a country that's literally bombing your communities. most of that region is, is more russian than it is ukrainian. anyway, and i think again, the idea that this appearance in the united nations was to promote peace is early and conflict with what we're seeing with supplying arms. the u. s. supply arms us is now this provided another $12000000000.00 or so to ukraine, with no real accountability of where the money is going, how it's being spent, and apparently supporting the payment of bureaucrats and government officials in ukraine. so i think that the only em here is that these electron results were being

challenged before the 1st boat was cast. the west has accused russia as conducting the rest. random's quote are done point as one ignoring ukraine's tries to punish locals for taking part in the vote. and relentless shelling, bike here for says, is, is he have done yet with his on wednesday morning in the lacy ukrainian shelley. if it is park in hotel with damaged along with parks, cars, windows, which started in the attack, no casualties have been reported. it's not only on yes, this undefined but le ganske as well. for my artistic or stone authentic this report. it was a very emotional day for all the 4 regions that were taking part in the referendum, as all of them overwhelmingly chose to say yes to russia and well, no to you, craig, but see you have to understand that a project and course on a relatively new to this family of well regions that were seeking to join their big brother instead of the da nets. callaghan people's republics, they have walked

a very thorny and difficult road towards this day. there were fighting for the right to be heard. of course, it's all about the people here and well they did not shy away from sharing their true emotions with journalists elsewhere. and i'm really happy with come a long way and have been waiting for it for ages for little girl. no one forces us to come. you can see it yourself. people can voluntarily. i'm so happy i'm about to cry yet to retain them fresh. i think the referendum was more than successful. i'm completely for joan in russia. i voted was daily sources. we've been eagerly waiting for this for the 8 years we've had war here in the don bus july. and yet that was, there's a desire to see changes to have stability certainty in your life, a desire to just live a peaceful life and see your parents come and care free. it is fair to say that the vote here and in all regions happened at gunpoint, but not in the sense that the western medium,

our western politicians might lead you to believe. but rather guns pointed from the key of side at the people at the polling stations. at the booths as a, even here logan's people and i just, the polling stations were shelled relentlessly by the key of military. our people had to interrupt the voting. they had to hide and bomb shelters. similar, similar situation and similar picture in many other regions. in other regions, taking part in the vote. so for the key of authorities, this is something this vote they are recognizing it of who's their cooling at a sham and in fact they have threatened everyone taking part in the vote no matter how they're aware. their mind and hearts ways are in favor of yes or no. they've threatened to everyone taking part in the vote with the legal action with the prison terms if they were ever to get their control over these parts again. well, next, the heads of all the full regions, they will have to make

a bidding in front of latimer putin on behalf of the millions of people who voted in favor of yes to join russia to make that happen as quickly as possible. we'll keep you updated with the latest on the events. i'm a dumbass republics and break away regions on what the future holds for them. so stay tuned for that. ah, poland former foreign minister hints that american involvement in the north stream pipeline explosions as a u. s. congresswoman stress is washington's interest in the ukraine. conflicts lies in energy aspects. comes off the sweden's that the cause of damage could be down to an act of sabotage without suggesting a possible culprit. i projected back in february this year that you asked interesting ukraine was about natural gas dales. the apparent attack mold, trim t, i remind she take notice there is no shortage of pipeline capacity for taking gas

from russia to western europe, including germany. thank you. usa, that sweets was very suspicious, and russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman even commented on it, asking whether it was an official admission of a terrorist attack. because at the moment, all signs are points in towards the united states on choose. the german magazine spiegel claimed that the cia had warned germany about possible attacks on the gas pipelines in the baltic sea. we're also learning now about sightings, of american helicopters hovering over that area along the roots of the pipelines a few weeks ago. back in june, americans were boasting about conducting underwater drone experiments. in the same area we're, one of the blasts took place. also, most importantly, i would say back in february, you, as president joe biden, had warned that nordstrom to could become a target. and even us media are making that connection right now,

let's listen. it is true that blowing up north stream does not help vladimir putin . he would not do that. why would he? but that doesn't mean that other countries wouldn't consider doing it. they would consider it, and we know they have considered it because at least one of them has said so in public, if russian res at meas, tanks and troops crossing the on the border of ukraine's again, there are no, there will be we, there will be no longer, a nor stream to we will bring it and 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 do. and maybe they did, after all, they used to get 40 percent of a gas of from russia. and now we had to reduce flows because of western sanctions, technical issues. and now these leaks, gas flow has been halted completely forms and european countries look for

alternative sources with america being one of those sources. but of course, i want to hear the side of the story. they're more interested in blame. russia accusing that of an act of aggression. this for us would of course. busy means it would be like, shooting this off in the foot. but again, they're more interested in saying that this is all russia fault, and poland actually seems to be their mouth piece lately. let's have a look. this is probably a signal from russia. this shows what means mechanisms, the russians are capable of resorting to in order to further de stabilize europe. now the head of the european commission said that whoever is responsible, whoever is behind it, will have to pay for it. of course, he didn't, they didn't specify who yet trained presidential advisor already jumped on the bandwagon accused rush of an act of aggression saying that it's trying to create free wins her panic and is asking for more weapons which is also very convenient. europe is already and equipment this energy crisis. how will the damage to the

pipelines now affect the people in europe? well, we've seen gas prices in europe skyrocket on these news. on tuesday they increased by 10 percent. but if we compare energy prices to the same time in september 2021, for example, the increased to 100 percent. so consumers are really feeling that right now. and especially now when winter will start, they're very worried that they will not be able to afford to stay just a warm bots. of the president of the german energy regulator has said that even though the market situation is tense right now, germany and europe are no longer dependence on nordstrom supplies and there will be just fine. so we'll see when, when for start the victory of a fall, ryan's coalition in italian elections as cost shock among some media or you chief us live on the line was if the threat to democracy posed by will she described as an also traffic trojan horse. i'll take contributor rachel monson brings more

details. was barely a few days ago that european commission, president ursula vander line in her american style. state of the european union address, spoke of the need to defend democracies from autocrats. we will not allow any autocracies trojan horses to attack our democracies from within sundays victory of georgia, maloney's populous right. when coalition in the italian parliamentary elections has underscored, the fact that a talker sees trojan horses that represent a threat to the democratic will of the people of e. u. member states are indeed already inside the big u bar. actually they're running it and yes, they are foreign as in foreign to the country whose citizens have just exercise their democracy. italy will not leave the you, but will block necessary reforms the you must not be naive when dealing with the new government. it's obvious. district, italy, of course, is a cause for concern. parties in this coalition have said and done things that

should make us vigilant. this relates to russia and to financial and economic issues. but we need to give her a chance. it was woman tells me that these are on certain times and at times like this, populace movements always grows. but it always ends in the same way in catastrophe because they offer simple short term ounces to problems which are very complex. this is an all sort tarion model that is contrary to the pillars of european construction, which is the basis of all prosperity. there is he said that the european establishment is having right now because the italian people chose a government that lacks the u seal approval. shows exactly why its grip on power has been slipping as proven by recent parliamentary votes in france, italy in sweden and municipal elections last weekend in the czech republic, where the populace party 117 of the 27 largest cities. rather than acknowledging what these recent boats represent, that is the rejection of the eaves policies, including anti russian energy sanctions,

which have created the current energy and cost of living crisis. and telling europeans that their democratic expression of will is being heard and adjusting their policies in course of action. as a result, what's happening instead is that the notion of democracy itself is being corrupted by those who claim to defend it. the western establishment is undermining democracy by defining it is something that can only result in an outcome that they approve and qualifying pretty much anything else as the result of some sort of foreign meddling. when the obvious foreign meddling in italian elections is coming from brussels and be echoed by its ideological foot soldiers across the block and brussels interference in the supposedly sovereign affairs of other countries, isn't even limited to elections or to its members states, serbia, which is still a candidate for you, membership made a deal with moscow last friday in new york, merely to have foreign policy consultations amid the crisis in ukraine. now any

country should be free to do what it wants in its own best interest that just seems normal, right? democratic. but the e react like a toll control freak. it's a very clear sign of their intention to strengthen their ties to further strengthen relations between serbia and russia. and this is raising serious questions. we are taking this very seriously and we are following this up. there isn't even a formalized relationship yet between serbia and the e. u. and already brussels is acting like a jealous controlling boyfriend. russell's authoritarian pension for imposing its will on member states under the guise of protecting and defending democracy proves exactly why it's losing hearts minds. and now elections. india has launched ounce at western attempts to block russian oil from the global market. of the similar restrictions were placed on a rainy and, and venezuela and fuel. if you take iran out of the market,

venezuela ross to the market, you want to take russia out to the market. what is the world supposed to do? this is not about d risking. this is about keeping the markets alive. and these are policy choices which countries have made the indian foreign minister under the developing countries all concerned about how to address their feel needs, which it was an anger every day due to the global energy prices. highlighting the most supply is go to europe as premium prices. he stressed that the issue is not about getting energy funds is transition rides with quite guessing to politics at the well rise. strategic affairs expect, dr. tribal gosh questions. the west's rational, honestly, i think there's going to be a disaster because what all the other countries supposed to do. if there is no novels, the reason why we are enhanced, if you remember before the, your grand crisis, we only want about one percent. now it's nearly about 80 percent of russian all going to be out of most of the politics which are much is out of both your up or

down to where it is the feel that things can happen in, you know, what i would say wrinkle reduce the dependency so much it doesn't happen on grow these take a long time. as is evident for me. when you know, the president said that you commission president, the lady said that to look out, reduce it by dent 20 percent. it's not possible. many countries are heavily dependent. similarly, the rest has been asking us to reduce the dependency. but we have found that our budget suits, you know, the discounts which the russians are. but given us as follows or, and basically not only interested 1000000 are not so much of the gas, so we are getting out this trade. i think the rest also realizes

that there are certain constraints. it's easy to give up vision that look, please reduce dependency. cut off russia, et cetera, but the practical realities are quite different, which we have to take into account. ah, while staying in india, the rupee has fallen to record lowe's against the us dollar this week. commit fears of a global recession. local report suggest the countries reserve bank is trying to alleviate the crash by selling us dollars domestically, an intervention aimed at stabilizing currency trading rates. investors from emerging markets have been buying u. s. bonds to take advantage of rising yields, which would benefit the dollar. they were p slide follows a massive sell off stocks on the indian market on monday, august global recession. fairs hit home. we spoke to indian economist and risk advisor, vivek iea,
