ah, with i want everyone to remember that those who live in demand school again for his soul, ends up erosion. now they become a citizen. that's correct. yeah, vladimir putin gave the passionate speech during the ceremony, beginning the accession of the 2 don baths, republics and the dappled old. he and the song group made time 23 people that killed and dozens of others, wound it as a column of civilian vehicles. moving toward its russian control territory in the zap, audrey region comes under heavy fire. local officials say the talked to was conducted by ukraine. damage to the north stream gas pipelines appears or being caused by direct attacks from western powers. that is the message from the russian president vladimir putin who accused the west of sabotaging europe's vital energy

infrastructure with . well, it is great to have you with us for this historic day for the russian federation and its new siblings. we continue our special coverage or announcements in ash so vladimir putin has signed a decree that will begin the process of accession of the. busy for new regions to the russian federation, ultimately enabling best citizens to become it's citizens. he also said the country's military will forever defend those regions. it will ship and i want everyone to remember that people who live been done that can look and can her son ends up or wash it. now they become our citizens for ever a truly historic day. waterbury potent has just now signed the treaties that officially make they don't boss. republics of logan's can don't ask, as well as the 2 regions of care. so on ends. the priority of part of russia

officially. they are russian regions. now, before the signing wideman gave a very emotional speech, he talked a lot about the people of these regions who feel connected to russia and by their language and their culture by their traditions and mentality by hearts and minds. and now they are rushing to do forever, was very sad as that was they will, the will of millions of people watching report and said he was talking about 5 de referendums that were held in all these 4 areas. recently that showed that the absolute majority of the people there are those who cast their ballots. i have to say sometimes and very often risking their lives and go into the polling stations on the shelling one to be with russia. they voted in favor of joining the world's biggest country in his speech today before the signing why my portal called again

and again on key of to come back to negotiations. you get we appealed to the key, presumed to seize, fire immediately. old has still, it is the war that they started back in 2014 and to go back. had been a go stations table because we are ready to do that. and we have sat bad on many occasions, but the choice of the people of don, that's lou gans cuz that, but it was in her song. we are not going to discuss that. the choice was made and roger will not for 3, this choice. russia believe it does a stay in line with the un charlton. why my poor read to write it again today. and especially particularly it's part where it stays the right to self determination. and why my porton was talking a lot about it. and his speech earlier on friday that russia will never leave,

according to someone else's rules that go to the west, can cross all the lines to preserve that neo colonial system that allows them to remain a parasite, basically to plunder the world using the dictate of their technology and dollars, it is critical for them to see all the countries abandoned their sovereignty for the benefit of the united states. this is a truly historic moment for them, and we expect celebrations all across the 4 russian regions later on friday to celebrate and to greet these new members to russia's big family. like my putting in his speech about the accession of the new territory to the russian federation, he did emphasize that russia will not live under the rules invented by other nations. have a list strategic security agreements fly into the trash agreements reached at the highest political level, a decline tall tales and promises not to expand native to the 8th. as soon as they

were bought by a former leaders turned into a dirty deception. the treaties on missile defense, an intermediate range, in short range, missiles have been unilaterally broken off and a far fetched pretext. or we hear is that the west defends an order based on rules . where did these rules come from? who's ever seen these rules? look, this is just some kind of nonsense, solid deception, double already triple standards. it's easy to count on fools. russia is a 1000 year old civilization and it will not live by such false rules. that's why we're seeing this, this great. this the, this emerging struggle that is going on, it's come to a head. ukraine was only the instigator, it's been building for quite for many, many years. the u. s. has envision itself as the u. s. lead unipolar world order. and now we're seeing a multi polar world or re merging and, and, and part of that is to content for the united states to contain it's

a so called enemies and, and it's adversaries. and this is the way to do it. and but, but what's happened is that the united states is, is, is weakened. do you have on other countries beginning to say we've had enough of this, and they're, they're reacting as a consequence. well, the middle of this there has been renewed, shuttling by caps force is reported as a humanitarian con boy of civilians, and his upper region has come under ukrainian shilling. numerous dead as we understand it's all confirmed by local officials. i should warn you. the following images are disturbing. no officials in the upper ocean region have said the civilian vehicles. moving towards the rushing control territory came under 5 from ukrainian forces. the 23 people reported killed the 34 wounded. as we understand over a dozen strikes were heard in that attack. now,

while the full regions away their accession to russia, our corresponding roman culture if explains how for the last 8 years civilians are frequently found themselves coming under the shelling of ukrainian forces. i've been living with the people here in the nest for the past 8 and a half years and i certainly know what is going on in their minds and in their hearts as well. they've been waiting for this historic day for a very long time. and at least 8 and a half years have been marred by human tragedies. thousands of civilians have been killed including women and children. that's been happening over the last 8 and a half years. of course, when the referendum here was held, people were certainly placing a lot of our whole into the fact that the shelling by the ukranian nationalists will finally stop. at some point. of course they're being very pragmatic as well.

no. when the very city is a right on the front line and the shelling will probably not stop over nights, but the fact that russia will accept them as their role. that don boss will become a part of a very big great country. now that gave him a sense of security and a sense of hope that very soon all these tragedies of will and how far from a daily tragedy. that's the result in civilian deaths. ukrainian nationalists forces are also targeting critical civilian infrastructure. thousands of people are still without electricity running water here in don't ask is being supplied to people once every 3 days. of course, locals are hoping that so once they are protected by their country or russia all this may hm will. and now as i'm talking to you right now, the outskirts of the city of dennis are being shelled. and over the last 24 hours,

we had 5 people that were wounded and 2 people were killed as day progresses, we're all hoping that these numbers will not continue to grow to to a short time ago, i spoke with a geopolitical expert, pierre emmanuel thomas, who starts on the referendums on the accession to russia. he says, we'll bring stability to the former ukrainian regions, having us behind the reserve in conflict in ukraine. we are a huge dupont can interest and derived geopolitical interests, mainly between a russia and united states on its areese on the user kiff regime as a proxy against russia. and they don't want to, or russia to, to, to provide stability for the people with chosen to be part of russia referendum was,

or i think it very useful to provide more stability in the future. but are you depends under a wheel of yes to negotiate with russia. i was the myself observer and i was the new ruben's co region. and you're, i'm not surprised by a reserve because we've all bookkeeper. i've spoken to all the way in favor of his or re vacation with russia and are they want cheats? why in the 1st instance stability and the future for our children and families. and or, i think that's a waiting for and now we're on door. we're a principal of a right of people to determine them otp over favor of being a part of russia. well, meantime, what you don't see in any of the western press,

people or new guns have been reacting with cheers and with tears as putin announced the historic reunification of the dawn baths, as average the unheard of song regions with rush amazing pictures, right? there are a lot of people out on the street celebrating. now in the accession speech of vladimir putin also note that some western countries appear to have fell their sanctions against russia want enough. so they decided to resort to sabotage what is put in talking about that of those would be a non stream pipeline incidence. no anglo saxon gra mile, the son and the anglo saxons have not had enough with their sanctions. they've moved on to diversions. unbelievable, but a fact by organizing explosions on the international gas pipelines, the nord stream, which run along the bottom of the baltic sea. in fact, they've begun to destroy the pan european energy infrastructure. it's obvious to everyone who benefits from it. u. s. dictatorship is based on brute force. well,

that is a shortly after the head of the russian security council, nickaligha thrush, i've said the u. s. could obviously have been involved in sabotaging the north stream pipeline system as washington is the main place to benefit economically from the gas supply root being rendered in operable. those claims were also raised and i left a late statement by the head of rushers, a foreign intelligence service. and when was up, in my opinion, the west is doing everything. it can to hide the true perpetrators and organizers of this international act of terrorism. we already have some evidence that points to a western footprint and the organization and the implementation of this terrorist attack are prosecutor's office. is investigating the incident. well, it's off to a former foreign minister of a poland, deleted a controversial tweet that he but that he posted while he was just after the underwater blast the nor stream pipeline system. he tweeted a statement basically saying, thank you usa, attributing the sabotage to washington. then later he wrote another poet,

clarifying that quote, he was glad to know stream was paralyzed saying it's good for poland. but as you'll notice, there's no mention about possible american an involvement. well, meantime, officials in washington also downplayed the whole in part of the incident would have on europe even as energy prices continue to store across the continent. on tuesday, the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking however, noted washington's aspirations to end the use dependence on russian energy and promised a surge in supplies of readily available liquefied natural gas. working to continue to search, ellen g supplies to europe in cooperation with global partners including i mean a 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.

and russia will hold an emergency meeting of the un security council regarding the alleged sabotage on the north stream pipelines. we did speak to scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer. he believes the former polish foreign minister stated the truth in his deleted tweet of listen. 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 how we could do that, it wasn't as a german allied 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, 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 imposing type of trade restrictions. but with pos measures ultimately boomerang and really impacting the u. brussels has actually had to back track on some of its early decisions. it's more details without to contribute of rachel marston. hey, you know what? they say 8 times a charm. they sanctions were actual divorces and not just geo economic or geopolitical breakups 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 u bras 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 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, and so does, why the u. s. economy, technically in a recession, the u. s. senate has agreed on legislation to send an extra $12000000.00 and

military and economic aid to ukraine. there's also a pressure supplied with out of the advanced air defense systems. now kia has been pushing for months for the pentagon to provide the advanced not psalms, so as to where miss all systems. but as the u. s. has already allocated, can you get this nearly $55000000000.00 of spending to support ukraine, including the high mas rocket launching systems that authorities and don boss. i have been used in a tax on residential areas. meanwhile, ukraine's president zalinski has rejected peace talks with russia, say, negotiations are impossible, but rarely that ever she rushes, implementation of the so called crimea scenario. and another attempt to annex ukrainian territory will need that there is nothing to talk about with this president of russia. while this is clear and obvious. lever, todd, or usf off lieutenant colonel chiron quit. cowski says at peace in that part of the

world is still some distance away. 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 you crate, i mean the 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 notice we know this. ah,

i think it is from i'm aronoff international. so good to have your company today by the way, as in boy needs an awful lot of money. in fact, it leads summer in the neighborhood of $40000000000.00 to develop its collapsing 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're constrained in that area more constrained. that's how the se african nation says. it feels off the 20 years of western sanctions affecting the lives of millions of zimbabwe guns. the you and general assembly of several african leaders asked washington to remove the burden. or the countries president has called for a quote, immediate end to the restrictions which he says are illegal. the ongoing,

deleterious effects of the ellipse will sometimes quantity of dro humper and are slow down our progress and villas this grove sustainable and intrusive development. we was up again call for their immediate and unconditional revolver or the sanctions imposed in 2002 have really heard the countries development as in bob was leader. so the restrictions have prevented the country from climbing out of an economic crisis, leading to thousands of people fleeing. with many of those stuck behind suffering, starvation and drought, i will say economic maximum and mismanagement by local authorities of a seizing a farm land from white farmers as only exacerbate of the situation, is our correspondent corolla tattler. zimbabwe is buckling under sanctions imposed by western nations 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 us 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 to excess 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 their pigs in the local cabinets or to juice above in dollars.

but most of the services in products you normally buy didn't risk dollars and change it to the i. i started introduced dollars which in afforded him of in those it's not working. so i didn't of the day that ended up or to move out or rented out and see those or what the place is like. yes, 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. 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 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 their m as a retired widow, i can no longer afford to pay the rent that is being demanded in

u. s. dollars. that has youth, we're disgruntled, we went to school and attend 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 rent. 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 truth its own political partners. african leaders too. 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 since i've targeted and not hurting ordinary them. bob woods, the situation on the ground looks rather different. got out of tea in johannesburg

. alright ahead of this sunday's presidential election in brazil, some western governments have been loudly voice and concerns of what they call up and democrats trends that are promising to use economic leverage to quote, bolster democracy in south america's largest country. we urge you to take additional steps to make it unequivocally clear to president both dinero and his government at brazil's constitution must be respected and attempts to subvert the rules of democracy are unacceptable they. you should state that it will use different leavers, including trade, to defend brazil's democracy and human rights. it would be unacceptable for the united states to recognise the government that came to power and democratically and it would send a horrific message to the entire world. it is important for the people of brazil to nowhere on their side on the side of democracy. now the races cns being between 2

candidates incumbent president jaya to both sonata and former leader louis ignacio alluded to silver both and auto is a right wing politician. widely criticized by the current us government is opponent as a workers party member later who is now 13 percent ahead in the most recent pulse. if no one wins and outright victory on october, the 2nd 2nd ground of voting will take place to the end of the month. now, despite her earlier opinion, surveys showing slumping support of both and already incumbent ahead of state has said he has determined to fight with alter time or peacefully over the recent months. the existing electronic voting system is corrupted only. we spoke with marco fernandez, a researcher, the tri continental institute, who said that one, so the one so us back to president both and i was relations with washington where they were severed off, the biden came to office. let's remember that united states supported the group in 2016. that was actually what opened the door to boston our to win election in 2018

. he made brazil, which lack, which is the most important regional platform for latin america and the caribbean in region. 19. he actually is not supporting brakes as he should, and of course all of this is just benefits united states. but the thing is that was not, is also trans supporters. so with bite in, in the white house, he's been a little bit ambiguous about us. and so the us about him and also both sonata, we won the election because lula was in jail. right. and i mean was in jail because of the direct interference of f. b i. and part of just is supporting the judge who made this cause was a fraud already recognized by the supreme court? i mean, they should have used these nomic levers in 2016 right. when do my was over through by a cool that actually now it's approved by congress that she didn't do anything

wrong, legally or, or in terms of the constitution. so, but actually both your opinion and united state, they supported the so i don't think they are really worried about or concerned. i don't think they're really concerned about democracy in brazil. i. that's the problem for this. how he lived from moscow and our national a great such a had with us. thank you so much for joining us in sharing a time with us here. more stories for you, you can catch up on an awful lot to do. so if you like at your leisure a ah ah.
