but the alliance is chief. the main goal of the body is not key. as accession, our focus now is only providing immediate support to ukraine, but to help you trying to defend itself against the russian, brutal invasion and damage to the nordstrom gas pipelines appears to have been caused by direct attacks from western powers. that's the claim of the russian president who accused the west of sabotaging europe energy infrastructure with for lost out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel robins, and here are the top stories this our we begin with the latest as vladimir putin says, the west has violated security agreements by fabricating hypocritical anti democratic

rules. the russia will not follow. the president made the comments during his speech at a ceremony to start the accession of foreign new territories into the russian federation. pressed, as delegates with strategic security agreements, fly into the trash shall we hear is the west defends in order based on rules. where did these rules come from? who's ever seen these rules? so 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. the west uses suppression, exploitation, and enslavement instead of democracy. the unipolar world it is built is anti democratic, deceitful, and hypocritical, through and through. but here the customer with our teeth. maria phenomena takes us through the key points of the russian present and speech early history date earlier on friday like me who has signed the truth is that actually make the don't boss

republics of de la garza, as well as the 2 regions all kit san n supper raji had part of russia and they are now russian regions. it's gone like recruiting has sad, and russia will never betray them. these are, is the president gave very indeed emotional speech before the signing. and he talked a lot about the people of the don bus region and all had saw and ends up our raja that they feel and they are connected to her, russia by their hearts and minds by their calls her and talked about 5 de referendums that were held in all these 4 regions that showed actually that the absolute majority of the people they are on the ground out. all those who cast that balance. and i have to say very often risking their lives and going to pauling stations under shall,

in this situation of beer is fighting one to be with russia. they really are voted in favor of joining our world's biggest countries. and we called on to come back to a we believe this conflict should still be resolved peacefully. this is what, why couldn't had to say to the rain, please give me call on the key of regime to immediately cease fire. all hall still a tease the ward on the lease back in 2014 and returned to the negotiating table were ready for this. it's been said more than once, but we will not discuss the choice of the people in the guns to nets here on ends up rogia. it's done, russia will not betray them. why report? he has talked to law today and he's speech about the west and it's decided to rule the world and he read to rated once again. natasha will never leave according to someone else's rules. let's take a listen. zip and go to the west is ready to step over everything to preserve the

neo colonial system that allows it to parasite eyes plan to the world with the help of the power of the dollar and technological dictate, listed to collect a real tribute from humanity. countries have surrendered their sovereignty in favor of the united states as a well correspondent who has been covering the ukrainian conflict since 2013. i can tell you that appealed will hold the dawn vase and i witnessed that had been waiting for the moment that we are witnessing today for at least 8 long years. no surprise celebration are unfolding now in all of these 4 regions. and here on the red square in the heart of moscow as well after the russian president speech only for former ukrainian regions, joining russia, ukrainian president vaughan. mir zalinski said he will not negotiate with putin. and that the g 7 countries also plan to carry out sanctions to impose cost on anyone who supports the results of the referendums. united states,

together with allies and partners renouncing new sanctions to day to impose costs on individuals and entities that provide political or economic support to illegal attempts to change the status of ukrainian territory. and i look forward to assigning legislation from congress that provide an additional $12000000000.00 to support ukraine commenting on the latest political moved by moscow. washington promised to support any intent my key as to re take the break away territories. american political scientists march sl boda believes we will see a new phase of escalation escalation. that's a word that we, that we are now entering a new new phase of the war. all the rhetoric that's coming out of the west right now, that they would perhaps directly intervene in ukraine in the event that russia uses the tactical new trying to paint rushes position as very different

from the way the russian president has presented. it makes me believe that there is at least the possibility of a false flag of a dirty bomb, or a tactical nukes being detonated in you cream by western forces. and using this as an opportunity to escalate and send nato forces directly into western ukraine. i do not believe that it is on the table for ukraine to be brought into nato with the point because there is too much disagreement within nato. certainly, hungary, but several other countries as well. certainly are not willing to bring ukraine in when that would auto magically at this point. preclude direct military conflict with russia. nato is of course, completely a political organization, a platform for the u. s. global military hedge him on to project power around the world. it's, it serves both as a physical platform, any political,

fig leaf of multilateralism that's, that's what it does. there have been scenes of celebration and the dot net, the people's republic to mark the signing of the accession agreement on the entry of the republic into russia. the nice guys were lit up and a blaze of color as a fireworks display with hello id. sorry. my goal memorial complex rocket boomed out across the area with hundreds of fireworks launched or mark the occasion. and here's video footage from lou gauze where people have been reacting with shares. and here's hi. susan announced the accession of the region into russia with people in her san author. trip to the street and celebration, although not for a long due to security concerns. ortiz moran gods, the at for reports from the region. immediately after the end of his speech, during the applause that we heard, at the end of that speech,

people began honking their horns and heard people shouting out of their window suddenly, a lot of joy, but, but i must say, it is muted this morning. there were several rallies in support of joining russia, people waving russian flags, but this bus again for security reasons, to have sun is a hot spot. there have been multiple strikes to day aimed at the city high mas missiles supplied by the united states, launched by the ukrainian military today, the 1st deputy of the head of your son, his he 2nd in command. i missed the salvo vladimir salvo a saga was next to vladimir putin during that speech. at the end of it, his deputy was here. he was killed earlier this morning by a strike, a ukrainian military strike. there is now an alert across the province. it is believed that ukraine will launch more munitions,

that there will be attacks on the city vengeance perhaps. perhaps targeted strikes . and people are being warned not to congregate in big crowds to tell void, ah, to avoid. we were told to avoid standing all working close to offices, 2 administration officers to the civil military administration that is currently in power here in care of san province. i mean, we saw what ukrainian strikes alike 1st hand just less than a week ago. ukrainian missile impacted our hotel. thankfully over most of the 3rd floor which we are staying on was erased. we managed to get out alive, but the strike was aimed at a civilian activist who had nothing to do with the military or the a conductor of military operations. this a former ukrainian parliamentary change sides and who was killed by ukraine for

what he did for supporting rush. there is hope. there is optimism that now that your san province is finally about to be part of russia. technically, it is already is de facto, but technically, at lupin to the russian military might many more avenues for the defense of its peoples. russia has a lot more. i add in its arsenal, than the nuclear weapons. if moscow, what a wish to do so to escalate the situation to lever more weaponry, advanced weapon, destructive weaponry in this conflict to now protect your soul, which is now part of the russian federation in all but name rallies and concerts were held throughout russia in support. of the accession of its 4 new ridges, thousands of people flooded industries to celebrate waving national flags. the biggest event was held in red square and central moscow, where president burton address the crowds.

ah, reuben lugens, let me tell you of one situation that happened while voting in la gans people were standing in a que next to one of the polling stations to cast their ballots. when the shelling began, a shell fell next to the polling station but not a single person left. the q is fascinating because throughout decades they tried to destroy these people's historic, conscious to destroy their traditions, to prevent them from using their native language to basically ban their culture. but they failed to do so with these people carried love for their history and culture in their hearts. and that is why today we're saying that russia is not only opening the door of the historic motherland for brothers and sisters, but russia is opening its heart. welcome home you. when i was on my way here, i really didn't expect to see so many people. this isn't even the red square. it's a bridge, very close to it, but i can see,

see the people everywhere. on the other side of moscow's iconic said those those cathedral to now, this is by all means a very special day for russia. this is a celebration. this is a day that these people with smiles on their faces will be telling their children their grandchildren about and up the people are celebrating because the country just gotten a bit bigger because it accepted new territory. these people are cheering because for them the hash tag, we don't lead our people down, isn't just empty word. this is the hash tag that you can see on billboards all around moscow. and of course it's about the people up on rosier harris song. and god, best for the people of these regions. this is really a chance to feel much more secure, much more said to join russia for them is

a chance to feel that their culture is being respected, their right to speak, their own language is being respected to feel that they're actually love. now make no mistake. similar rallies with the same mood are happening in different parts of russia, but more importantly and the towns of cities of don, it's logan's people's republic, said the regions of zapata, georgia and hare saw him. in his accession speech, vladimir putin claimed the west was behind. this week's mysterious damage to the north stream gas pipelines running from russia to europe. oh, video in that ms. little new cousin with me just really 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 pipeline to the north stream, which run along the bottom of the baltic sea. in fact, they've begun to destroy the pan it european energy infrastructure is obvious to

everyone who benefits from it. look, the u. s. dictatorship is based on brute force you had your little. meanwhile, in new york, the sabotage of the north stream pipelines was the focus of a un security council meeting, where the russian ambassador to the you and called out who could have had a hand in the incident. the main question whether what happened with nord stream benefits the united states and the answer is undoubtedly american liquefied natural gas suppliers should be celebrating the manifold increase in l. n. g supplies to europe. and from a political standpoint, the last thread, ensuring the energy independence of the e. u has been ruptured. do that he energy crisis. european production has been hastily transferred to the us. they are receiving top personnel, advanced technologies, production resources, things that europe has been accumulating and developing for decades. the residents

of europe have been left to face their problems alone. and across the ocean. no one cares that europe is in for a very dark, cold, and long winter in connection with these very simple and logical questions and want to ask the u. s. representative. can you confirm right now in this room that your country is not involved and has nothing to do with a sabotage? to find out more or less cross live now to our correspondent caleb mop and who joined us from new york. now caleb, you followed this session closely. so what were some of the key points that were brought to the table? well, we saw 2 high level un security council meetings that took place friday at the united nations headquarters in new york city. now, the 2nd meeting focused on the north stream to explosion, then sabotage and that 2nd meeting, we heard the russian representative get up and just lay out the facts. when you're investigating any crime, the question is who benefits?

and it's pretty clear the i did states and the gas company based in the united states that would like europe to be buying gas from them and not from russia. are the clear beneficiaries of this sabotaged and ordering to pipeline. now, the russian representative talked about helicopters and us vicinity adam backs about how the explosion thing to happen, how it seems very clear that it came from a state and a government. this is not something that a, that a road group of terrorists could do or something like that. we are a very convincing case from the russian representative about the fact that there are powerful boards and states involved. and that everything seems to point pretty squarely on the united states and they're involved. and then from there, after we heard the russian representatives big, we heard the representative of the united day take the floor and give some very unconvincing denial. i need some rather tragic attempts that comedy this was the u . s. representative that the un security council, our russian colleagues have decided to instrumental eyes,

a security council meeting to spread conspiracy theories and disinformation and to, to quote, my colleague morbid fantasies. i know our russian colleagues have had a bad afternoon. j a bad day. they had to sit and watch that strangely. od fascist nuremberg style rally combined with los vegas. 1970 show that happened in moscow this morning to celebrate the illegal annexation of ukrainian territory. and that afternoon, they got hit by the councils vote, clearly sending the message about their annexation of ukrainian territory. but i don't think that justifies once again, the russian delegation, raising conspiracy theories and mast information in this council. let me be clear. united states categorically denies any involvement in this incident and we reject any assertions saying the contrary. not the most convincing denials from the u. s. representative i,

the russian representative then took to the floor once again and pointed out that the facts speak for themselves and that simply calling things, conspiracy theories does not refute the facts on the ground. so that was the 2nd meeting that focused on the nord stream to pipeline or by now the meaning on the damage that was done in or in stream was held after the session where the ukraine conflict was discussed. so what did we hear there? well, the 1st meeting that took place, we heard from representatives of the united states of britain and there are aligned countries, basically just can downing the wrapper random saying that they do not recognize the fact that these republics have voted to join with russia. and referring to what's gone on despite the fact that a democratic vote was taken as somehow being an illegal annexation. they actually then put forward a resolution that would have condemned course. russia being a permanent member of the un security council. i had the right to overrule and veto

that resolution. the russian representative took to the floor and said, you know, on what, what grounds did they think this would pass? this is simply a provocation. of course rush, it was going to veto this resolution and the russian representative went out the hypocrisy. and that house of all has been recognized as independent from serbia by these nato aligned western countries. and that seems to be something they're ok with. furthermore, the united states is declaring taiwan to essentially not be part of china in the us . they still maintain the one china policy, but they're talking about military defense of taiwan and meddling and declaring what is china and what is not china. and this is, you know, this is so called feeling or concern, or, or ukraine, arguing that this democratic bow but somehow a violation of sovereignty is really selective outrage from the united states and its allies. so there were, there were 4 countries that abstained from the vote and did not vote along with the united states and its allies. and that resolution did not pass shina called for

a diplomatic solution to the, to the conflict and resolution of the situation called, or, you know, there to be a mutual understanding regional about where the borders of the rain are with towers and rhonda r saturday. the 1st meeting was, you know, like other meetings, one where it's very clear that world powers do not agree with each other when it comes to the situation. ukraine, they don't see i. and then really the usual way, as has been pointed out by the russian rep in the past, as basically become a cypher theatrics. the united states kind of puts on a show ukrainian representative gives a prepared speech. people walk in and out of meetings, a lot of a lot of theatrics go on, but real solutions to what is an active conflict are not really being put forward. people are dying and we're not seeing representatives at the un take this seriously . the united states and its allies just want to put on theatrics or, you know, after, after the vote was taken and that resolution did not pass. we saw the ukrainian

representative getting up and trying to argue, based on some, you know, legal argument that somehow, you know, russia was not entitled to continue the seat at the un security council that had been, had, you know, passed on to them from the soviet union after the fall of the soviet union, 1991. and so there are more somehow russia shouldn't be able to tell the resolution it's, it's just gotten to be particularly ridiculous. but the reality of the situation is the people around the world and even polls in the united states indicate people want there to be a political resolution of the conflict they want diplomacy here, that is now what we're seeing at the united nations are as fun and kayla mop and thanking for that day ukraine's now demanding fast track membership to nato. but just hours after making that request, the alliance is chief. didn't appear so accommodating. jordan green, but they as a. yeah, of course she was, there will be today. ukraine is applying to do so, did you, are you following the procedure that suits are important to protect our entire

community in an expedited man in the sessional membership, of course has to be taken by all 3rd allies on the we take these decisions. boy, a consensus. our focus now is on providing immediate support to ukraine and to help you carry the front itself against the russian brutal invasion. benito press conference came hours after russia began the accession process for the new territories, which the secretary general also fully rejected. saying that accepting it would mean consent to nuclear blackmail been a no chief also stated, the alliances, main goal is to increase its support to ukraine. but despite that, he said the block has no intention of being dragged into a direct war. therefore, nato officially remains out of the conflict. the risk of escalation beyond your

credit evolving all the nato allies will to be the medical not. needless not pocket to the conflict, we support ukraine, but that doesn't make us pointed to the country. they're trying to wash their hands off what, what they've been doing. of course, their party to the conflict. they've been sending arms. they've been depleting their own stocks in order to send arms to ukraine or 3rd party to the conflict. but you know, they want to, like they want to just kind of weasel out on legal. he's talk saying, well, we haven't declared war on russia. we're not in war, russia, in fact, they aren't war with russia. they're sending all sorts of arms to ukraine that are killing people that are killing russians that have killing ukrainians that up the want to live longer. the key regime, sunlight, nato, is a party to the war. but, you know, now they're a little bit worried, because russia may just dispense with the niceties and just say, well, yeah,

you are who to the war, whatever, you know, no matter what you say. so i think, you know, stole timber wasn't, wasn't acting, he is truly jittery. he's truly nervous. and all those, you know, his real losses, of course, in washington, they obviously didn't give good enough instructions because they don't know what to do now either because they're not really anxious to flight russia. the russian turk, stream gas pipeline operator says another land has withdrawn as export license amid wider you think shes against moscow. this means that her stream, dutch subsidiary can't provide technical maintenance on the pipeline. the turkish south stream company told r t the measures will not affect the flow of gas, although is asked for the license to be reinstated. the pipeline delivers more than 30000000000 cubic meters of natural gas to europe and turkey. the developments are especially significant following the recent damage to the north stream one and 2

pipelines, political scientist, nurse and non result and told our to, you know, neil, that the u. s. wants to divide russia and europe. i think it's the 2nd step of american innovation to europe, asia, the 1st step was just a few days ago. i talked to a pipeline in pipeline and baltic sea. and i think this stating from the diet sites is the 2nd step of american intervention to our region. i mean, they are trying to, is late a russia not from just the europe sites, but also from the turkey side because is, you know, turkey and russia has the really good relation. starts with a letter from us treasury departments to the turkish business men association. that they train them to do,

do not cooperate with russia. and just off this american side, they trait, also turkish bunks. that's why you know, some of the bunks stop using new carts system. and the main target was to cut the relation between euro and russia. but still, i think that sir, and the europe have a relation, i mean, today the relation and the different kind of relation. so that's why i know they are targeting openly the energy energy pipeline to push a europe to have an energy deal with united states. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all of the latest breaking news. and updates was the right back here

at the top of the hour. ah, craig, well, never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as oman are made, it comes to last should kick in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in your engage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are harris, defend nato allies. nato escalates even more indiscretion. military operations become a war. when you put the l. sip of the girls that demo, showing that older belgium is my talk to you. i see a video to us conducting costliest through me live so usefully. you shenika, you stuff for the community to a physical,

he's almost there with them. let's you and you less only just don't finish entering your sewerage, nurse, you cook the cold february, 2007 that amy of hooton's munich speech is a milestone in contemporary history. many consider his famous address of the security conference to be a turning point in relations between moscow. on the west with president putin smoke about major geo political issues in no uncertain terms and harshly criticized the unipolar world model, u. s. foreign policy and unjustified use of force against other states that says, notice go to shooting it mimi it nickel. what national wondering you that say? so my only answer elac of speech in your bizarre bus miss, you are, you are now about what at the show using up. what are what seduce you fucked up. can you say she wouldn't zane that with you want us? yes. but even you are a what i what i am the spices court. if go what it that

a city and you're still still esteem is if you need me to read though, well, it is up a thing about it knowing it was there all scott, but shops go of the go or rather do in georgia, the western sponsored my down to and the ambition to pull both countries into nato at all costs and conflicts and a profound global security crisis goes numerous attempts to negotiate the rules of the game in europe through futile human under the code that america latoya gray like still do or not my generic could him that couldn't be new school much just couldn't other than the buck ma'am, been chuck gives him nuts at them on my to put him also say 3 and bullet. do you know 60 percent of a whiskey? the list that was senior. so i see a big deal that would be mature control. it said i didn't talk on tornado below. see why not could isn't it mute. so why should denisha jay was your point
