voice a name with a r t. according to the public official around 30 people are dead off ukraine showed a corner boy refugees and the coverage it a 4th leak in the north stream. pipeline is reportedly found by the swedish coast guard as mafia license and international terrorism. a suspected attack. although russian german gas, the transit with the you should stop the sanctions immediately. because haven africa, we are the one suffering cloud to continue to suffer as an e. u. bonnell essential russian fertilizes aqua basis theory at the moment, leaving millions facing starvation.

with very well malcolm, watching aussie international with the latest news update is good to happy with us . that we start with breaking news that la guns official say around 30 people are dead, including children after ukraine showed a convoy of refugees trying to flee the hawk of region for russia. he's off, he's more garcia with the details. we know that rescue was unable to get to the bodies to presumably the engine experience tells us that in such instances of shelling of math steps, there are presumably, again, more wounded than there are loops. people killed, so 30 dead already confirmed perhaps a number that is going to, that is going to rise more people that, that need help and yet i'm balances rescue services are unable to get to them. because ukrainian shelling continues,

the russian ministry of defense says that the ukrainian drone was she overhead. as the shelling began and presumably directed the shelling, it must have seen the convoys of civilian vehicles. these are parts again a part of the thousands and thousands of people that have elected to flee havoc of province as ukrainian forces have advanced in order to escape from the potential purges, purges, sometimes deadly purges that we have seen in areas recaptured by ukrainian forces where they target any when they deem to have been friendly, with russian forces. according to local officials, ukraine has also found a number of residential areas in care on this. but it shows the aftermath of the attack authorities say at least 6 people were wounded as a college and a residential building where hes one person remains in a critical condition. and in the city of don, yes, the parking hotel was struck and damaged along with nearby parks. cars that windows,

that shattered in the attack. no casualties have been reported, and ukraine hasn't commented on the shelling. i'll see vermont calls or have sent us this report. several, 155 millimeter shells struck the sensor of genetics on wednesday morning. actually it was at 5 am. now you just saw one of the craters from the shells. now, as the results are mere by hotel was damaged. the cars that were born here were damaged as well. now, the generator at this hotel is, are completely destroyed as well. you can see her workers are now doing everything they can in order to restore operation of this hotel. now this hotel itself, houses are workers from russia, houses adjourn. this is actually one of our crews that was at this hotel as well. archie arabic, in fact,

thankfully no one was heard during this attack by ukrainian. a nationalist by their hotel rooms were destroyed and they were forced to move from here. now other damages are in a vis a high school right here. you can see the windows have been blown out. now this high school was also appalling stations during the latest referendum behind it. i've had to look at how big the hole is in the metal frame. that's how powerful today's blast was. thank god, only one person was on duty at the school. at that moment. she managed to hide in a bomb shelter at 6 am, i was already at the site. he saw the damage. we will recover from. yes, i understand why the school was shout voting took place here yesterday, 4000 ballots from here. we're in favor of joining russia. now. the at zach was once again at 5 o'clock in the morning. the workers here did everything in order to evacuate the residence of this hotel as soon as possible. and of course i spoke to

one of them. he told me exactly what happened this morning, deal approval pick up. the 1st strike was at 5 am. we rushed to inspect the hotel. we told people to evacuate. in a few minutes there was a 2nd strike. every one was escorted to a barn shelter. thank god, it ended okay. without any casualties. this is yet another crates or a right and the center of the nest that was formed by another shelf fired by the ukranian military against civilians and done as people's republic. once again, we are right in the center of the city very far away from any kind of military positions and what kind of far away from the front line as well. nevertheless, ukrainian nationalists to choose to continue to terrorize the peaceful civilians if they choose to continue to destroy civilian infrastructure. of course are the results of the referendum, have been overwhelmingly in favor of julian,

russia. but people are also hoping that once they join a russia all their hardships will and as well. and they will be finally able to live in peace from on call for. if archie don't as people's republic with the referendums on joining russia over the leaders of don. yes, counselor, dance republics, as well as like counterparts when the kids on his apple dozier regions have arrived in moscow to finalize the unification process. however, some of the territories of those regions still remain under the control of the ukrainian army. it includes up what else he has capital upon doing as republican a portion of cancer region. leaders from the territory say that battling continuing to expect more fighting to take place alongside victory and all 4 regents means that around 15 percent of ukrainian soil where the population of around 6000000 people will join russia, wants to request to join has been approved by moscow,

ukraine and they saw lice and dismiss the referendums as a sham and refused to recognize the results. he has said they would put international observers on a global wanted list. we spoke to one of them, german journalists and over thomas, where i thought he was in care so, and he describes how the voting took place. in general, ukraine tries to avoid the referendum and the election offices might be really targets it's question feeding. and that's why a 4 days they were more by elections with going around with the, with more bio stuff and making the people that live from their homes, from this whole street to avoid big crowds of people. the mood of the people is quite interesting because i was in harrison which was supposed to be for, for russia, the most complicated area. but the heavy shelling of ukraine really changed the mood of the people in the last weeks. they told me this nearly every,

every city. so they came to the, to the election offices, really and groups. and they were quite happy. and i was there before and they were even afraid to talk them when they were pro russian because they were afraid the brush could leave and the that what you repression from the ukraine inside after that. and now they, everybody of them was searching for a camera. we had this, we were preserve us and we said, can we ask? and nearly everybody was ready to talk into the camera and telling we want to rush out. we was waiting for it, or are they said, well, we were against all this, but we see now what your credit is doing. they're shutting all schools and it's really civil infrastructure. we'll keep you updated with the latest on the events in the dumbass republics on those other regions on what the future holds for them. so stay with is on our to international for that. ah, let's go now to latest news on the nord stream pipeline snowy thoughtfully has reportedly been found by the swedish coast guard. russian security services opened

an international terror investigation into suspected sabotaged the russian german pipeline. as, as the white house shrugs off an earlier threats by president joe biden, to put an end to the energy transit route in the event of russian military action in ukraine. the president said that in his 2 wouldn't become operational and we would work with germany on that. and he was right through there will be a we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it. and how will you do that? i promise you will be able to do on so many occasions in the past the finger was pointed at russia. so many times that you'd expect the same thing to begin happening right now. however, it's not happening this time, and the u. s. officials are saying that it's too early to blame russia, although what the americans have been doing so far is firmly denying their own

involvement. it's not us. the u. s. government is in complete denial. we were absolutely not involved. the jury is still out. many of our partners i think have determined or believe it is sabotaged. not at the point where i can tell you one way or the other. moreover, several media outlets including germany's durst, fiegel and america's new york times reported that this summer, the c, i a had warned several e countries about a possible attack on the pipeline. so what could this mean supposedly, if a warning had come from the u. s. intelligence the americans couldn't have been guilty, so it may seem that the u. s. government could have tried to come up with an alibi for itself with the media, allegedly trying to push it now. but guess what? the danish minister of defense said that neither denmark's government, nor his ministry was notified. so if there was some kind of plan with this alibi,

it didn't work. so seeing quite a lot of reaction online and full outs after this incident with one form of polish politician, even appearing to thank the u. s. what's happened? what else is the vanilla? well, according to nato's twitter, they have recently tested, quote, unquote, unmanned systems at see the tweet was posted just as the news on the alleged pipeline. sabotage came in, and some uses online immediately tried to connect the dots. have a look later exercises present opportunities to test new unmanned systems at c, ensuring that allies can work together to counter current and future security challenges. so you saying it was nato that bombed in old stream one and 2 blowing up pipelines because democracy, good nato sabotaged the nord stream one and 2 pipeline with their numerous training in the sea. so nothing's clear just yet. it is indeed a very unusual incident. so we'll,

we'll definitely keep hearing about it and it will remain in the headlines for the next few days. law, military journalist vasily, if i say, go of an x that an underwater tax, a sa massages, the only plausible explanation for what happens. goshen law, the thickness of the pipe metal is up to $41.00 millimeters. this is a lot. the soviet t 34 tank had 35 millimeters of armor from above. these pipes also have concrete protection. up to 100. the 10 millimeters you. that's pretty serious protection. so these could not have been an accident. this is devlin to the sabotaged. it is absolutely clear who ordered this back in february the american president said that the united states would deal with the north stream. and as for who could actually do this, back in the spring, i made a report about ukrainian combust swimmers, who are trained by their italian colleagues when the soonest base was attacked by russian forces. the pulls took them to the baltic. it wasn't clear up until now.

why were they evacuated there? the sea's rather shallow. the average depth is 50 meters, a combo swimmer can dived to depths of up to 60 meters. when they tried to blame russia, it causes nothing but loft. hello, why is it russia? if russia can just turn off the tap? the united states still feels like a wall john, dorm, and the poles and ukrainians most likely be at the door to work about and is trying to cut off europe from russian gas and wants to impose his own more expensive one. i mean, well, some media outlets are warning that the damage to the node, st, lifeline it could be irreversible. as c was in his true rose the on the walls appliance stuff, as you officials and moscow have expressed concern about potential sabotage of the transit route in russia. branding the incidence a terrorist attack. he can find out more details on this story and many others on our website. hottie dot com the

youth league of south africa's ruling party has been summoned by the country's ukrainian community. a software endorsed the referendums, held in full regions on joining russia and sent it to own team to monitor the vote . oh, less cross alive. now joining me in the studio is that killer. connie costano, the chair of the international relations for the african national congress. you think many thanks to come again, it's so nice to see you in person. and not the league recently observed the referendums in which regions voted to join russia. why did you decide to monitor the polls? ah, look, firstly greetings to the viewers and thank you for having us. and our people have just come out or for almost 400 years of oppression. you know, we at some point in black people who are even slaves. we fought that would defeat with it. and we fought, colonialism would defeated it. now we're fighting neo colonialism and i'm naturally a, we a bound to be in solidarity with all the or press people of the world where anywhere

we smell oppression, we will go there and we will be part of the process of fear. so getting those people to lead themselves. so we are here because we sympathize with the people of dunbar. we sympathize with the people of crimea who for 8 plus years have been receiving a pick on top of a tick. nobody can be okay with being picked for a t as if you are being shot at bonded for this long. you are bound to be hungry for your freedom and this is what we found on the ground. the people really, really wanted this for a long time. in fact, we must commend the russian federation and president putin, for finally coming to the foreign helping them. the russian people have been so good to the world that they are willing to suffer sanctions at the behest of defending the defenceless. so there's no way as young people or fair and children

of nelson mandela oliver tumble. we cannot be part of that. we want to be part of the progressive world, which feeds human beings as human beings, not a subjects. and. busy the democrats see that who speak off in the world, they're most capos. i mean, it's great that means for the people by the people. and we've seen it leads speak for the people who don't pass, but they haven't had a chance to speak for themselves. so there's a way for them for us, was that opportunity for us to hear exactly what do the people of us say and what do they want? and i think they've spoken very loudly. we understand that some of the other international observers who with that and monitoring device has been criticized by the global community. they've been added to a global ones. his list by key one kind of response. if you i mean for them is not free. we cannot expect that when we side and we work towards

freedom that they will not be consequences. but we're billed for this. and then we've been through wes. we are saying that we are not going to allow any penetration of neo colonialism of imperialism to find anywhere in the world. and. busy we are not at all shaken by any sentiments by those people because we've always understood that to us, and they don't see humans. they see subjects. they see people who must be colonized, they see people who must work for them. we must call them boss. but we some use the word boston, south africa. so we refuse to be that we want to work for our own. we want the means of production back in our hands. so africa is on this program of the african nathan and them for, for this to happen. it means we must unite with everyone in the world who once the owner of nations, and that's why am nothing, is going to shake us. look,

nelson mandela was called a tell i missed by the same west that today glorifies in the in see was once declared to a tunnel. this organization, the only time they remove mandela from the 10 out of them. list is when he had to go visit america because now they had made him a teddy bear. so why not confused with where the struggle is and where we must school as a people? what we want to say to everyone else, especially in africa, is that we must hang in there. and we must know that the fight is not over. we don't have any intention of wishing people away. i think i've never had an intention of wishing any claim in a way, but we cannot sit and watch while people are being killed, cannot sit and watch while people a put into starvation cannot sit and watch while people are not allowed to think for themselves. so we are saying there's no human being who is a subject here. unlike the petition,

we don't subscribe to king house. we believe in democratic. we believe that a vote is quite a way to express yourself as a citizen, and that is why we will fly any time 18 to 16 hours to come and assist the process of the people am voting. we believe in the vote, and we think that the vote assists in eliminating the can. so we are in solidarity with the people of don bus and we congratulate them for going out in the numbers to go and vote and vote progressively in support of this. or if a man, as we've seen the outcomes. so we're quite happy because there's the support sabotage as were not successful. and i think that anyone who says the cartoons of piece and they will not supporting the referendum that led to themselves. this has been true semblance of democrats not the fig one that we are told about the the

african continent has been hit quite hard by the unfolding crisis. the ukraine house of via is the food crisis in africa. funny enough, the claim that was meant to go to, you know, especially sub saharan africa never arrived. we never got a single shipment of claim. so the crisis still remains. but we, under limiting in our determination and resolve, you know, to consolidate resourcing in africa and make sure that the people can survive on their own. we don't want to be dependent on europe anymore. we don't want to be dependent on the west anymore. so we are walking towards a place in africa. we're african nathan saloon, truly reigns, and we want to 100 our own skills. hundreds our own talents, create our own products. we are tired of buying american products because we

benefit thing. they don't invest in quantity and they only plow day and night. you have mean a lot of the sources living are continent, day and night and then they bring them big in terms of finished goods. and so them to us at exorbitant prices to them with always been economists, subjects will not work for them. and we also fighting for economy collaboration. so the fight for an africa that is independent is still a fairly long fight and we are very happy, you know, when the law shadley init, inactive the soviet, the national anthem to us. but that was the time of freedom to say that our friends a bag, we no longer have to fight colonialism alone. and we know that you always head us on our side as a people. and we want to reassure the people of russia and the russian federation that we will not be to say. i want my pie as we will not be telling the heroes of

that if she and people like moses godaddy has taught us been way where we need to grow and where we come from. so it is important that all young people in africa, we pull up our socks and it would take the spirit. and the spirit now is not on the camp, but the pen and paper. we need to be innovative as young people and come up with ideas and sort of all problems. we are who we have been waiting for our heroes up one. mandela is no longer there. ok. so it is very important that we become conscious, that the peyton is already in our hands and whatever nation that we want to build, it is us who must quote selected. what do you think the lack of support for africa might have something to do with insufficient attention from the global media? definitely communications warfare is a thing in our continent. we have an infestation of global media, but there is no growth for local media. so we want to focus in harnessing

talent and risk different respects in journalism as well, but not limited to we want our own find just what pad of calling you will come in sort of problems. so without education, we will not get there. so we have invested immensely in education and we want to grow as a continent. solamerica has built 2 universities, but unfortunately we have to carry the continent in terms of education. it is only education that can liberate the people. so we are very serious about it and africans in school, africans creating things. africans can, i'm very creative. so we are on our own past, but we still have people who see as a subjects and them. unfortunately we have to live with them. we still want our lead. it is our landline sola and we want to back one though. i mean it is. we want our mean other sources to do the find in africa. what tired of sending our

resources to be find elsewhere. but for that to happen, we need an intensive academic program, and that's what that evolution of the movement african michelle congress has impact on educating that people as so many important stories and whether we could discuss today. but i'd like to get your take before we go on the, the latest news story that's making headlines, which is then no stream pipelines and the, the sabotage. know, how do you think it will affect the global energy crisis immensely. i mean, in south africa alone, we've got what is called load shipping stage 6 load shipping, where for 5 hours, and there's no electricity in hospitals in schools, you name it. so energy is a major and mrs. had a sauce for production and the economy to function, so we will be hugely affected because when 2 giants fight,

it is the ground that us and africa just happens to be that victim. whenever there is global in balance of forces, africa becomes the suffering party. so we know, so i will touch is always, has always been my thought they are meant for and we are not going to be shaken. there is nothing that they can do now that they have not tried to do in the past. i was feel it has not been broken before. we are not going to be broken. now. who say they is those who want a colonial africa. they is those who don't want a black men to deter mine themselves. they is those who want a person to say yes, boss, they is those who have killed. so no one my son who with kill steve pico and who continued to prosecute us. so when they tried to target bus, they don't know that they tell us and to heroes,

because what they've done to those who inspired us is not going to scare us. our heroes solomon, my son, would told us very well that his blood will notice the tree that will be different for them. so whatever prosecutions can be directed to young people such as myself, one, move us because you remove it. i mean, that will be another cool is just like they tried to kill only one tumble. there is another tom. we are not afraid of them and we are going to fight and defend our our continent. if we cannot be entirely free, then we present this. it is either freedom in its entirety or its death and what they must know that we're prepared to fight if that's what they want. but we have been taught by plus the nelson mandela to forgive but forgiving doesn't mean you forget. so they have food thus once they're not going to fool us again, we are conscious and we are ready to steer the ship of africa, progress and progress in the world,

and will spend his solidarity with any one who has been oppressed with any one who's not allowed to stand on their own fit and we will remain very committed at when showing that this freedom and liberty and peace in the world. and that's why we, i'm ashamedly, went to observe the process in don boss to ensure that the voiceless people of done boss have someone to speak to the world and tell the people that what is it that they want. and they said to us, they wanted to to my, for themselves where they want to be. and they did that by the 14th to be part of the russian federation. so congratulations to the people of dunbar, but moreover, thank you. thank you. thank you very much. to place them put a, put him for his guidance in them, leading the progress of wealth and ensuring that those who cannot defend themselves and get defendant. i appreciate them all the russian security forces who are able to put their lives and to protect us. as we observe the process and so thank you

very much. a rush has quite a great country. the people have been very consistent in supporting africa, and that is why we will come and support russia any day. can i counties casanya many thanks. the coming and speaking to me today, i really appreciate your time is nice to meet you victoria. see him but ah, moving on, i'm at the west trouncing almost half a century on the african continent. the canyon presidents has cooled on officials to implement new measures in order to save lives. given that this is the worst drought in for decades, we must step up, create synergy, marshall more resources, and adopt a more coordinated real time and targeted intervention. the climate classes left millions of people on the brink of starvation with canyon president william router sharing a meeting on how to deal with the famine. in july, a un reports that almost 950000 children under the age of 5, acutely malnourished along with droughts. can you also face the shortage of

fertilizers, which are crucial for the countries agriculture and food chain? but the european commission has maintained a ban on exports of them, mainly rushing commodity to 3rd world countries. we heard from local farmers describe the damaging impact to the sanctions on their livelihoods. because to be honest, those sanctions have affected doesn't a great week. we cannot plant or even war can our farms that you must remove this anxious for us to feed our families and cultivate land effectively? do most of all land can produce without her to eliza, and they have been using it for many years. for now, i really do not know what's going to happen and they plead for the you to allow russia to send us more and more fertilizer raising all these people have been camping here for some days. i came here last week and still i have not yet managed to get any fertilizer is not enough for to the you should stop the sanctions immediately because here in africa we are the ones suffering many thanks for

joining us there. and i see international as always you can find plenty more on our website, r t dot com and we'll be back at the top of the ha ah a i the caution you spent with forced, i'm not so queer which, which they do to, to the limit control it relates to when you do have a good. ready a.
