according to the head of the question of foreign intelligence, or with the mob way to tackle rapidly falling apart infrastructure while still struggling with for coney and us laid sanctions opposed to decade ago. it's not easy living in the same if you really we have no choice. we can't afford to be around anywhere else with mid day in moscow. this is our to international and you're welcome to use our and r t. i mean we begin with breaking news, a humana, cherry and convoy of civilians leaving territory controlled by key. ebs forces in this upper rosier region has come under your premium shelly, with many dead, according to local officials. a warning disturbing images are ahead. the head of the sample was year regional said the column of civilian vehicles moving towards

russian control. territory came under fire from ukrainian forces. 23 people are reported killed and a further 34 wounded. red doesn't explosions were heard in the attack to former ukrainian regions along with the independent republics of the bars or to officially become parts of russia on friday. let him or person earlier signed an order to carrying this upper lucia and her sultan territories to be independent. that's after the vast majority of voters cast their ballots in favor of such a move. in recent referendums with some parts of those areas, still being contested by ukrainian or russian lead forces. later today, as we mentioned, the heads of the 2 rip regions, the 2 republics as well, are set to meet lot more, put in and sign a tricky to join russia. maria flush there, told me more about that earlier. why my food has signed, decrease declaring independence of the 2 regions of his son and the per roger. and

this is the final formal stab before these territories. along with the don't boss republic, something else can logan's become part of russia. and officially it comes, you're right, you've just said that tough to 5 day referendums, held in all these 4 regions showed that the absolute majority of the people there are those who cast the balance. i have to say risking they alive, go into the polling stations on the constant shelling want to be with russia. they voted in favor of joining world's biggest country. but then west, he's not ready to recognise the results of these votes. many western leaders already use strong wards to say that they will never recognize the rushes claims to what they believe is still the ukraine. inter, are we now hear that nature? secretary general is about to hold an unexpected press conference later on friday.

the topic of it was not officially announced by judge and by timing right off the wide report and speech and all the sightings, we can expect that the focus will be on the joining but un secretary general also told the reporters that the move would violate the united nations charter and has no legal value. moscow that believes that a does stay with the un charter particular with its part that states the right to self determination. late on friday, we expect an official ceremony in the gorgeous your gifts. keyhole off the grand kremlin palace, the largest and most beautiful reception hall, there were waterbury prudent is expected to sign all the necessary papers and treat it together with a had of they don't boss. republic solve for lugens and the need to finalize the joining. and also, later in the evening, we expect massive celebrations and concerns here in pasco, and the red square waves. hundreds and hundreds expecting to attend to celebrate,

of course, and the great new member is in a big family when ukraine and its western allies have dismissed the referendums and refuse to recognise the results. kiev has said international observers of the vote will be putting a global wanted list and we'll have them sanctioned. we spoke to one of them. the international relations german of the african national congress gets leak cooler county school. summer was in this up and was your region. he explained why his organization decided to observe the referent. we are here because we sympathize with the people of don patton. nobody can be okay with being picked for a t s. 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 and we've seen it leads to speak for the people who don't pass,

but they haven't had a chance to speak for themselves. so this of 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 rush, i've never had an intention of wishing any ukrainian away. 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. unlike the british, we don't subscribe to king house. we believe in demo classy, 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 to the process of the people voting. we believe in the vote, and we think that the vote assist in eliminating the con,

so we are in solidarity 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 f. m. and m, as we've seen and outcomes, we heard from several members of the russian parliament about what they called the importance of the reference. and for the people who lived there. i not the store. as soon as 8 years under bombs, it is clear that people internet can again school run to the polls and will do everything to get away from the ukranian oppression. they will will go. when i was in luke and i saw with my own eyes that it had been through suffering that people were really tired of the war, of the extermination of children that had been going on for 8 years. so i expected such results possible get out after a long separation. finally such a long awaited event for the residence of don bos, honest and simple people who have a character of steals to. they have not run away for these past 8 years,

but they have remained in their homeland. they have chosen their own fate in their future and voted to return to russia. another aspect of this, the referendums took place during constant ukrainian shelling, which was documented by international journalists who had trouble there to observe the voting process. you see there one french journalists who has covered attacks on civilians, civilian infrastructure as well. and don boss was himself seriously injured in cherokee, adrienne bach k is a former friend serviceman law reporting and sharing lights on events in the embattled republic. ortiz maria philosophy again, had a chance to speak with them. duffy as manuel had de zelma. 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 there were ukrainian security service agents are some ukranian activists, though wasik. oh, do you think the attack was in any way connected to you work on the conflict in ukraine? yes, yeah, 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 in 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 dumbass. 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. i. oh boy, what's your assessment of the results of the referendums recently held in the danvers and had his awnings and parachia thought 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 dumb boss using european bombs to think the population of don boss wants to remain a part of ukraine, which was to kill them. this is absurd. therefore don boss needs russia to survive . any tenure, well, we will keep you updated throughout the day as this say of people in don bus son. this upper was she and her son regions watch the 1st real process and vale of the future that they have chosen for themselves. ah,

another story to bring you to day the head of the russian security council. nikolai patricia has said, the u. s. could have been involved in sabotaging the nord stream pipeline system. last the u. s. as the main country of a stud to benefit, economically from the gas supply route being rendered in operable, that those claims were all so at raised in a later statement by the head of the russian foreign intelligence service from when was up, in my opinion, the west is doing everything you can to hide the true perpetrators and organizers of this international act of terrorism that we already have some evidence to point to a western footprint. and the organization and implementation of this terrorist attack are prosecutor's office. is investigating the incident. well, it comes after a former foreign minister of poland, deleted a controversial tweet here that he posted following the recent underwater blasts of

the newer stream pipelines. the statement finished with the words. thank you, usa, attributing the sabotage to washington on wednesday though, rather slab sikorsky wrote another post that we'll see over here on our other news wall. the polish politician clarified that quote, he was blood the nordstrom is paralyzing, that it's good for poland. but as you'll notice there in this statement, there is no mention of bi possible us involvement. moscow hasn't choose washington playing a part in the incident thing. it's the main potential beneficiary. while america has denied the accusation. with that up, i know those we will benefit from this situation that european was hardly there. the destruction of these gas pipelines will love the story to increase supply over liquefied natural gas, which really, you know, they have never concealed the fact that their main task is to tear off europe from russian. i'm a jew resources us official is also done play the impact of the instrument would

have on europe, even as energy prices sore across the continent. on tuesday, us secretary of state anthony blinking, however, noted washington's aspirations to end the use dependence on russian energy and promised the surgeon supplies of liquefied natural. we're working to continue to search l n. g supplies to europe in cooperation with global partners, including, i mean the pacific tours 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 energy supplier to the european union in the u. k. this year . russia will hold that emergency meeting tonight, so the un security council regarding the sabotage on the north stream pipelines. scott ritter, a former us marine court intelligence officer, believes that the former polish foreign minister stated the truth in his deleted

tweet and the washington is likely responsible for the attack. i don't think sikorsky said in on any meetings, i don't think sikorsky at 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. stating very clearly that if russia were to send forces into ukraine, that 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 of his word. there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out in be have the incentive of,

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, 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, let's turn attention on the program now to african, zimbabwe needs $40000000000.00 to develop its collapsing infrastructure. that's according to the countries deputy finance mister 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. yeah. a constraint that's how hard is it feels after 20 years of us lead functions affecting the lives of millions of bob winds. and the un general assembly several african leaders asked washington to remove the burden while the countries president has called for a quote, immediate end to the restrictions he says, are legal the on going? did he tell us of the little sanctions continue to humper and slow down our progress and the realization of sustainable and intrusive development? we was again calling for very immediate and conditional labor over the sanctions imposed in 2002 have severely hampered the country's development and bob

with leader hubs. they've prevented the country from climbing. it's of an economic crisis leading to thousands of people fleeing with many of those left behind suffering from severe draw and starvation. others say economic mismanagement by local authorities on the seizing of farm them from white farmers, exacerbated this situation or correspondent carrasco. the tough law. as zimbabwe is buckley, and the sanctions imposed by was the nation's and led by the united states. the price up continues this by the poor economy situation in the region. and while these sanctions continue to be palpable on the ground, the u. s. says that they are not targeted at ordinary citizens. 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 it so?

the reality on the ground tells a different story. as in bob, one government says that the sanctions have absolutely better the economy. 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 was formerly employed. they are paid in the local current or to juice above and rulers. but most of the services in what ducts you normally buy didn't use dollars and change it to be and i saw that it's yes. dollars which 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 quality places like goods, ordinary them bob with the ones feeling the desperation and poverty of the

situations. i'm not exactly thinking the u. s. government for the sanctions. sure. you know, 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 thiessen's years 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't afford to pay rent anywhere else. but that i am as a retired widow, i can no longer afford to pay the rent that is being demanded in us dollars. well, as, as youth, we're disgruntled, we went to school on the 10 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 deer, the feeler 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 bubbly and believes that the country as a sovereign independent nation, has the right to make its own decision and truth 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 essay soon some targeted and not hurting ordinary them. bob woods, the situation on the ground looks rather different. got us out of tea and john is back. yes, some big figures in this next story as well. the u. s. senate has agreed on legislation to pass an additional $12000000000.00 and military and economic aid for ukraine, and also pledged to send on bumps or defense systems like have, has been pushing for months and months for the pentagon to supply the advanced knutson surface to her and missile systems doubts as the u. s. as already allocated

that figure. $55000000000.00 are close to it of spend to support ukraine, including a hi maurice multiple rocket launch systems, the local authorities and don boss. they have been used in a tax on residential earnings. they will ukraine's president lensky has rejected peace talks with russia, saying negotiations are impossible. at least that he rushes, implementation of the so called crimea scenario. and another attempt to in ex ukrainian territory will mean that there is nothing to talk about with this president of russia. this is clear and obvious. or carrying petoskey a retired u. s. or force lieutenant colonel say that piece is still a distance away, as 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 newton and lever reaching out to talk. and those a been rebuffed and every and every teacher 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 all the 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 law, another story to bring you to a sending a message to cad tar, to protest its record of human rights. that is the goal of a newly unveiled kit by

a danger sportswear brunt which has unveiled it's designed for the countries football team to wear during the upcoming fee for world cup. on the reason behind it alleged abuse by the kentoria government of its migrant workers. with the danish national teams, new jerseys, we wanted to send a dual message. they are a protest against guitar and it's human rights record. that's why we've torn 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 host nation. now the claim about worker is dying because of unsafe conditions in the country. provoked a response from the firm in which world football governing body rejected any responsibility for this situation. as the mission statement though, for the tournaments safety event is supposed to bring countries together, the coding manufacturer humble, may be violating

a cardinal rule of fif is under which vote. equipment must not have any political statement on it breaking. now its ruling could mean sanctions against the danish flawed. back in may, fif, achieved jelly in $17.00 oh shrugged off concerns. after a reporter asked about 6 and a half 1000 migrant workers, reportedly dying during guitars preparations for the tournament. he said the issue was a faithless 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. you know, the thief ahead how to apologize for that statement later. earlier we spoke with the radio host, tory harrison who said that the whole controversy is a bite at business and money flow surrounding the world cup finals. 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 it 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 hummel 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 could tar cutter. however

you like to pronounce it 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. police people are not blind. people watching right now are not blind. this is why we're talking about it. carry harrison taking us through it, and that is where we leave the news block for a know this friday, but our program, they're only beginning to what showing right ahead. ah ah ah

ah ah ah, lisa canter, russian state little never. i've stivers i san diego slam steve s. mm hm. no,

no. candles. all sunset for a coup in the 55 with this been okay, so mine is 2000 speedy when else was about with we've will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and split our t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with palmetto. she did you did it request with a crate, will never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is

a war between russia and the united states, as alon on meeting cons to last should kick in cowboys. america forces are and you're not in europe to engage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are harris, defend nato allies. nato escalates even more indiscretion. military operations become a war though, when you put dell, some of the rules that demonstrate that all the notion is my idea that i see your to us thank team costliest. you go to me. so if so you sleep, he should unique and he stuff philadelphia committee to a physical needs. look almost there with them. let's you, when you last, only just don't finish entering a sewage near us. you cook the cold february, 2007, that amy of hooton's munich speech is

a milestone in contemporary history. many consider his famous address at the security conference to be a turning point in relations between moscow. on the west with president putin spoke about major geopolitical issues in no uncertain terms. he harshly criticized the uni, polo world model, u. s. foreign policy. unjustified use of force against other states. that's just not the sort of shooting it. me, me, it nickel. what machine you're wondering is i say, so my only answer elecom is between bizarre bus miss. you are, you are now about with at the here, you know what i was 0 issue, fucked up. he is a she wouldn't they, even though they do you want us? yes. pretty well. what i, what i am, the spreadsheet court. you go what it, that a shitty and you're still still esteem is if you, any me how to read though. well, it is up a thing about it, noting it was there all scott, but shops going to go further. development in georgia, the western sponsored my dad and coo and the ambition to pull both countries into

nato.
