and we need to make rules for the rest. because without out there we can do a following this month. referendums president vladimir putin is sent to incorporate this up a roget on per song regions and to don balance republics into the russian federation. later today, also ahead on the program, a former polish foreign minister delete says tweets, implying us sabotage of the north stream pipe blight says russia claims to destruction gives washington the chance to increase supply of its liquefied natural gas to the new will be looking to zimbabwe. it seeks funds to tackle up rapidly falling apart infrastructure while still struggling with for

coney and us led sanctions imposed with easy living in the cemetery. we have no choice. we can't afford to pay rent anywhere else. ah, just after 10 am here in the russian capital on this the last day of september, i'm una leland this is our teachers 2 former ukrainian regions along with the republics of the don boss, are to officially become part of russia on friday. president putin earlier assigned an order declaring this up and rogia and her some territories independent. it all comes after a vast majority of people voted in favor of such a move in recent reference with some parts of those areas. still being contested by ukrainian on russian led forces. later today, the heads of the 2 regions on the 2 republics are sent to meet vladimir putin and

sign a treaty to join russia. ortiz maria phenomena told this more earlier. why am important has signed a decrease declaring independence of the 2 regions self care so on ends the parole? here, this is a final formal stab before these territories. along with the don bus republics of danielle, sk and la guns become part of russia officially. and as you just said, it comes up to 5 de referendums, held in all these 4 areas showed that the absolute majority of the people, those who cast their ballads risking their lives. i have to say go into the polling stations under constant shelling. want to be with russia, they voted in favor of joining world's biggest country. though the west did not recognize the results of being both. many western leaders already used to very strong wards, saying that they will never recognise russia's claims on what they believe they steal. the ukrainian territory, the un secretary general,

told the reporters that the move would violate the united nations charter and has no legal value. russia though, believes that it stays in line with the charlton particular. it's aspect that states their right to self determination. we expect late on friday, an official ceremony in the gorgeous orchestra hall of the grand grambling palace, the biggest and the most stunning reception hall there. where putting is expecting to sign all the necessary papers documents. and she reaches to finalize the joining the staff that the people of the dawn boss. i have to tell you as a war reporter who has been covering this conflict since 2013 has been waiting for all these long years. but they lived under bombardments, enormous pressure from ki, of a absolute lack of security and in total fear. and we also expect later today

had massive celebration in concert on the red square here in moscow with hundreds and hundreds expecting to attend to celebrate, of course, and to week new members into the big family. maria flushed and taken us through. what is ahead? well, ukraine, this allies have dismissed the referendums, refuse to recognize the results. he has said it would, puts international observers of the vote on a global wanted lift and have them sanctioned. we spoke to one of them, the international relations chairman of the african national congress youth league, cooler county school seller, who was in this upper was you. and he explained why his organization is cited to observe the referent. we are here because we sympathize with the people of don, but nobody can be okay with being picked for a t as you, if you been 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. and we've seen it leaps, speak for the people who don't pass, but they haven't had a chance to speak for themselves. so there's that 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. i think i've never had an intention of wishing any ukrainian a way. but we cannot sit and watch while people are being killed, cannot sit and watch while people put into a vision can sit and watch while people are not allowed to think for themselves. so we are saying there's no human being who's a subject here, like the petition. we don't subscribe to king house, we believe in demo classy, we believe that a vote is a quiet 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 voting. we believe in the vote, and we think that the vote in eliminating the can. so we are in solid bearing to, with the people of the bus, and we congratulate them for going out in the numbers to gwinn vote and vote progressively in support of the f m. and as we've seen outcomes while the reference took place during constant ukrainian shelling, which was documented by international journalists who were travel there to observe the voting process. one french journalist whose covered attacks on civilians in dunbar was seriously injured after he was attacked and self in turkey address book is a former french service, meant that no recording and shedding some light on what is happening in the region ortiz. maria flushed again, had the chance to speak with him,

duffy as while it does em 2 men attacked me. the 1st pulled my head back and the 2nd try to cut my throat with a knife. fortunately, i reacted and pushed him back. so the knife at my cheek instead of my neck, they also sliced my hands several times and i was stabbed 3 times in the stomach. have a cut of about 15 centimeters. i managed to escape and run and hide. i knew that they had been looking for meanest, humble, and unfortunately they found me and tried to kill me. i'd like to emphasize that they were professionals because only a professional tries to cut the throw in a very precise place. i'm a former member of the french armed forces and i know how you can kill a person with one blow with a knife. i think they were ukrainian security service agents are some ukrainian activists obasi. okay. do you think the attack was in any way connected to you work on the conflict in ukraine? yes, yes. i'm a freelance military journalist for several months now. i've been working in the dumbass where i've shown american infringe bombs that have killed civilians, ukrainian armed forces, and the security service demanded my death and offered money for my murder. and

said that this amount would double if i was killed in russia for almost 3 weeks now, ukraine wants me to be killed. if i, you scared, nausea uphill. i am not, and i say to you now that i will return to don boss. i will continue my work and continue to show the truth. bombs are falling daily internet's. i'd like to point out that in the center of the city and dennis, there are no russian rockets, no military units. civilians are dying because of these bombs. you. i apple boy, what's your assessment of the results of the referendum was recently held in the danvers and had a soundings parachia. i wasn't on bass for 3 months and i met very few people who were against it. at the same time, people who opposed the referendums were not tortured or thrown into prison. more than 90 percent of people want to become part of russia. this is normal because right now ukrainians are killing their own compatriots and dumbass using european bombs to think the population of dumb boss wants to remain a part of ukraine, which was to kill them. this is absurd, therefore,

dumbass needs russia to survive. it is you can yeah, for, well, we'll keep you updated of course throughout the day as the residents now dumbass, zap rogia and her son determine their future. ah, okay, another story to tell you about today a former foreign minister of poland has deleted a controversal tweak that he posted following the recent underwater blast at the north stream. pipelines had read. thank you usa, attributing the sabotage to washington. now on wednesday though, rather slab sikorsky wrote another post, the polish politician clarified that quote, he was glad the nord stream is paralyzing, that it's good for poland, saying that no attribution is possible at without us involved. then moscow has

accused washington of playing a part in the instances. it is the most possible beneficiary, while america has denied the accusation with at that minute. those will, will benefit from this situation that european, the civil hard laser, the destruction of these gas pipelines will love us to increase a supply of liquefied natural gas to the, you know, they have never concealed the fact that their main task is to tear off europe from russian allergy resources, actually, us officials done play the impact the incident would have on europe, even as energy prices sword across the continent. on tuesday, us secretary of state anthony blinking, however, noted washington's aspirations to end. the use dependence on russian energy promised the surgeon supplies of liquefied natural gas working to continue the search l. n. g supplies to europe in cooperation with global partners, including,

i mean the pacific towards noting that our own oil production is up by more than $500000.00 barrels per day. this year. our energy exports are up more than 20 percent since last year. in fact, we became the largest elegy supplier to the european union in the u. k. this year, when russia will hold an emergency meeting tonight of the un security council regarding the sabotage on the north stream pipelines, scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence offers, seized out the former polish mister. it stated the truth in his deleted tweet, and the washington is likely responsible for the attack. i don't think sikorsky sat in on any meetings. i don't think sikorsky had any insider knowledge. i think of course, you're just stating the obvious with the pipeline was blown up. he knew it was the united states. i think in this case we just go to the one party you actually made a confession. that's the united states president joe biden february,

8th of this year. us stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, that the united states would shut down the north stream to pipeline. and when asked why he could do that, how he could do that. it wasn't as a german ally, et cetera. he said, we'll shut it down. it appears that joe biden is, in this case, at least a man who was word. there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out and be, have the incentive, you know, the united states was confronted with the fact that the german people were beginning to rebel against the u. s. dictated policies that were being implemented by the german government regarding your russian energy, not purchasing russian gas, et cetera. and we're going to demand that the north stream to pipeline be opened up so that they wouldn't freeze to death this winter. and by blowing up the pipeline,

the united states is taking that possibility know off the table. so, you know, the united states is not only the likely a candidate, but all of the circumstantial evidence would convict united states. virtually any court of law would hear this case. ah, the european union is preparing to implement an 8th round of sanctions against russia, including tighter trade restrictions, but with past measures hurting the you, brussels has been forced to backtrack on some of its earlier decisions. here's our t contribute to rachel marston's take. hey, you know what? they say 8 times a charm they sessions were actual divorces and not just g o economic or geopolitical break ups than the european union would be hollywood legend. elizabeth taylor, if she had divorced any single one of her ex husband's 8 times. and i guess that makes russia richard burton then because brussels has just announced that it's

breaking up with russia yet again with an 8th sanctions package. and the brass says that it's really going to make moscow pay the price this time, which frankly would be a nice change from previous sanctions, packages, which have mostly just made europeans pay the price. so today, we're together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. so what's going to be the game changer this time around? well, these new measures are set to ban russian toilet paper and other hygiene products from being imported to the e. u. russia has the natural resources that the you largely lacks to make such things which are particularly important right now in light of german toilet paper. manufacturing giant haggle, declaring bankruptcy as high energy costs start taking their toll on european manufacturing. so europeans who have been encouraged to shower with like 3 drops of

water to save energy because the big brains and brussels cut off the supply display . russia may now have to cas whatever's left of their basic hygiene overboard for keith to how many squares of toilet paper per use are required to stick it to vladimir putin according to the you. all they might be about to tell us. previous you sanctions have worked so well that they've had to constantly backtrack on them to save themselves and their allies from total strangulation at their own hands. in july, for example, brussels amended sanctions against russian banks to allow for food trade, east sanctions on russian companies, selling oil to certain countries. and on the provision of insurance for russian aircraft and sea vessels. and their components which are, are critical part of the global supply chain. the u. k. did pretty much the same thing the following month. brussels backtracked on russian coal sanctions just a few days ago to avoid harming its own energy security even more than it already has. next up,

reportedly backing off on russian fertilizer and cement sanctions. but you never know it from listing to each commission. president ursula vander line, and i want to make it very clear. the sanctions are here to stay just a little more effort. and maybe they can actually find a buzzword to wriggle out of the sanctions they imposed on their own energy supply . but it's all about the principle of denying russia revenues to pursue its interests in ukraine, right? if that's the case, then why have e u and us imports of russian metals from aluminum to nickel surged over 20 percent in some cases over the past year. the sanctions don't really seem to be hitting their stated target, but at least may be europeans can find comfort in the notion that as the winter energy crunch sets in, they can wrap up their metabolism and stay warm by laughing at the seemingly endless e u. clown show, just don't laugh to tears though,

as it risks wasting tissues. ah, morales turn attention to africa. we're zimbabwe. need some $40000000000.00 to develop its infrastructure. that is, according to the countries deputy finance minister or funding requirements for infrastructure covering all sectors of the economy and the 14 priority areas, amounts to $40000000000.00. but having looked at our financing options and the fiscal space that we have, we are constrained in that area yet constrained vance. how her r a say that feels after 20 years of us lead sanctions affecting the lives of millions. and bob wins at the un general assembly several african leaders off washington to remove the burden while the countries president has called for a quote, immediate end to the restrictions. he says, are illegal the on going to the tell us if it's of the legal sanctions, county dra humper, and slowed down our prob, if,

and the realization of sustainable and intrusive development. we was, again, call of a very immediate and conditional label them. when the sanctions imposed in 1991 how severely hampered the country's development. and bob with leaders said they've prevented the country from timing. it's of an economic crisis leading to thousands of people fleeing with many of those left behind suffering from the conditions of severe dr. starvation or correspondent kara boat, the tough le has more than bob away is buckling. and the thing sions, imposed by was the nations and lead by the united states, the press up couldn't. he knew this by the poor could make situation in the region . and while these things should continue to be palpable on the ground,

the us says that they are not targeted. and what in a responses that is not our view as the u. s. government, not to say that the economic situation is not a problem. in our view, the sanctions are very targeted. this is a crucial point on distinction on what we believe is misinformation. but is itself the reality on the ground tell a different story, doesn't bug one government says that the sanctions have absolutely better the colony. there is no way any investor comes to an economy or a country which is under sanctions. we also haven't been able success affordable loans from the international monetary fund and world bank because of that which could not be attended to because of sanctions. most people wa, formerly employed, they are paid in the local current or to juice above and rulers. but most of the services in products you normally buy didn't risk dollars and trying to call it the

i i saw that is yes, dollars each been afforded him. i've in those it's not working. so i did of the day that ended up or she to move out or rented out and see those or what the place is like goods, ordinary them, bob was the one feeling the desperation and poverty of the situations. i'm not exactly thinking the u. s. government for the sanctions. she knew it. yeah. we are wish is that the legal sanctions imposed in our nation be removed because of them. we have been live in a difficult life. our kids are not going to school school. sorry. demanding that we pay thesis, these dollars, and we cannot afford that because there are no jobs. it's not easy living in a cemetery, but we have no choice. we can afford to pay rent anywhere else. but their m as a retired widow. i can no longer afford to pay the rent that is being demanded in us dollars. as youth, we're disgruntled, we went to school on the 10th various qualifications which we are failing to use because there are no jobs. hence,

most of us are engaging in activities like bricklaying or leaving for south africa to find better employment prospects. i don't know why it's not easy to be evicted from one house to the other due to the failure to pay for and therefore i up to to even a cemetery. so i can have somewhere to lay my head. must go, is concerned about the sanctions against them. bob, wy, and believes that the country as a sovereign independent nation has the right to make its own decision and choose its own political partners. african leaders to as recently as the united nations general assembly were all firm and united in the call for the sanctions to be lifted. so while the u. s. seems convinced that the since i've targeted and not hurting ordinary them, bob woods, the situation on the ground looks rather different. got us out of t. enjoy and is back. ok. some breaking news just coming in to us

on the program official, something rosier region are stating that a column of civilian vehicles moving towards russian control. the territory has come under fire from ukraine's armed forces on the day the report states that some 23 people have been killed and 34 further at this stage are at windage. we will of course, keep a very close eye on the situation as it develops, we get more verified information on that. we will bring it into. but it does look at this stage that 23 people killed in this upper road year region the u. s. senate has agreed to on legislation to pass on additional $12000000000.00 and military and economic aid for ukraine, and also pledged to send on advanced or defense systems. let's go through this story because we know that kia has been pushing for months for the pentagon to

supply the advanced nasa surface to air missile systems about of the us already allocated nearly $55000000000.00 of spend to support ukraine already, including hi mars multiple rocket lauren systems that local authorities and don bye say of been used in a tax on residential areas. it will ukraine's president lensky has rejected peace thoughts with russia sing. negotiations are impossible, is at 0. she rushes, implementation of the so called crimea scenario. and another attempt to annex ukrainian territory will mean that there is nothing to talk about with this president of russia. while this is clear and obvious, uses just alma point, current petoskey, a retired us or force, lieutenant colonel says that peace is still a distance away. us washington doesn't seem to be interested in conflict resolution

. united states is controlling and pulling the strings in many ways for government. so they are not going to be allowed to negotiate, even if the majority of the korean people want the war to hand. it's united states, i think that's standing in the way. and i say this because we have multiple examples of putin and leverage reaching out to talk and those a been rebuffed and every and every tour politicians in washington d. c. would like to see continued war, and they would like to see ukraine dominant in that region because we own ukraine. i mean, united states. oh, you green streams. this is, this is a known fact. it has been for, since, since before, 2014 and that that's, that's clearly evident. i mean, that's not even news. we know this. ah ok to another story

that has generated quite a lot of interest to de sending a message to co. tar, to protest that's record of human rights. that's the goal. well, bernoulli unveiled kit by a dinner sportswear from which has unveiled it's design for the countries football team to wear during the upcoming fifo world cup. and the reason behind it alleged abuse by like a tory government of its migrant workers. with the danish national teams, new jerseys, we wanted to send a dual message. they re protest against guitar and human rights record. that's why we've tone down all the details for denmark's new world cup jerseys. we don't wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives. we support the danish national team all the way, but that isn't the same as supporting guitar as a whole nation. the claim about workers dying because of unsafe conditions in the country provoked to response from fish in which world supposed to bring body rejected any responsibility. were the situation of the mission statement though,

for the tournaments phase, the event is supposed to bring countries together. the clothing manufacturing question, homo, maybe violating a cardinal rule. all the features under which both equipment must not have any political statement on it breaking it could be functions against the dana squads back in may be fed chief jelly in 17 o. shrugged off concerns after a reporter asked about 6 and a half 1000 migrant workers, reportedly di during ca towards preparations for they turned him and he said the issue was out of fi fish jurisdiction when you give work to somebody even in hard conditions, you give them dignity and pride. now 6000 people have died and other works and so on. and of course, faith is not the police of the world or responsible for everything that happens around the world. well if, if the chief had to or was forced to apologize for the statements late or now earlier i spoke with radio host curry harrison. he said that the whole controversy

is more about business and money flow surrounding the world cup. i think the entire mechanism of sci fi, it's like being a member of a country club. you're not going to leave that country club and lose all of the spoils. the recognition and such an at the end of the day, hummel's name is all over the news right now. what a good day for humble, but it's all about creating stuff that sells that creates energy and focus more on these games. remember, these games bring in tourist money, they bring in merchandising money every click, every blog article, everybody that writes about it makes the brand bigger and stronger. and it doesn't matter if it's good or bad. it's the brand and the algorithms eat it up and you and i are going to watch. even the more controversial it is, the more you and i are likely to watch. but the cats out of the bag and for fif at a claim that it has no jurisdiction, they're doing business. like you can say, no,

i can't do it. if we do business with you, you have to, by the way, reveal all the new things that you claim you're doing and guitar cutter. however, you like to pronounce it out where you have given human rights where you are protecting your workers. you claim you're doing this, let's see the evidence. no evidence. we're going to increase that contract and make sure we're even tighter. please. people are not blind. people watching right now are not blind. this is why we're talking about it though to a china will hold a nationwide commemoration of it's called national heroes who lost their lives in the establishment of the chinese people's republic by the event precedes a at national day of celebrations on saturday, which marks the 73rd anniversary of the people's republic. the main events to remember the martyrs were held on to the elements were in the countries capital and attended by the countries leader memorization process included that laying flowers

on, observing and limit of silence. awe, right? keeping attention on asia in the 1900 sixty's, up to 3000000 indonesians were massacred by the then ruling governments, aided by nature states and an upcoming documentary and art. see the red fish team. recall that brittle lanes. one of the 20th century, the worst atrocities me do this except i'm going to store the poor, poor john to gamble cobra and she liked it. but on but on the i didn't get to choose the communists were portrayed as not only enemies of indonesia, but enemies. of hod hecky kept quite an apology from luckily i can go up and respond to the community. and how does someone can or if you are middletown to

ah, could, and my mom had to be ship it up on your cell. and so my scholarly m n. me about the genie lending preparation that is from the bond them into this the best and recognizing the signs of shelling, knowing when to run to the basement. it's not an upbringing any child should have, but it's been the reality for the past 8 years in the next. we hear their stories directly. they with the.
