providing an immediate support to ukraine and to help you pair and defend itself against the russian, brutal invasion and damage to the north room gas pipelines appears to have been caused by direct attacks from western powers. that's the claim from russia. president with the west of sabotaging europe energy infrastructure with from last out to the world. this is our to international. i'm rachel blevins and here are your 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 signing ceremony. bringing in for new territories to the russian federation.

versus dakota was luca resumed, 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? 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. the west uses suppression, exploitation, and enslavement instead of democracy. the unipolar. well that is built is anti democratic, deceitful and hypocritical through and through by the other. when the r t 's, maria for notion that takes us through the key points of the russian present and speech. gurley he story day. earlier on friday, like me, potent has signed the truth is that actually make the don't boss republics of denounced bandwagons as well as the 2 regions of kit saw, an el mirage. he had power to all russia and they are

now russian regions. it's dan wagman 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 have saw and ends up a rajah that they feel and they are connected to her. russia wired me putting the called on to come back to go. she ations was sad. they believe this upon it should still be resolved peacefully. this is what, why couldn't had to say to him, please give me call on the key of regime to immediately cease fire. all hall still it is the word 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 his own. and zap rogia, it's done, russia will not betray them. why my food has talked to law today and he's speech

about the west. and it's a desire to rule the world. and he read to rated once again that russia will never leave according to someone else's rules. let's take a listen and go to, of course is ready to step over everything to preserve the neo colonial system that allows it to parasite ties 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 conference in 2013. i can tell you that you will hold the don barza 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 these 4 regions. and here on the red square in the heart of moscow as well. there have been seen that celebrations across all 4

new russian territories. night skies lit up and a blaze of color as a firework display was held at the sar mobile memorial complex, and then done escrow public ins apparatus. she's biggest city melanie topple. people reacted with cheers and emotions to putin's announcement and in her san residence trip to the street, although not for a long due to security concerns. here is our chief murat gaz. viaz report from the cursor hearse on 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 to hurt people shouting out of the 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. gibson is

a hot spot. there have been multiple strikes to day aimed at the city high mas resolved supplied by the united states, launched by the ukrainian military today, the 1st deputy of the head of shift saud. he's he, 2nd in command. i missed the salvo. vladimir salvo saga was next to vladimir putin during that speech at the end of 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, with a conduct of military operations. this a former ukrainian parliamentary, who 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 years to factor, but technically, at lupin to the russian military might many more avenues for the defense of its peoples. russia has a lot more at 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 have been held throughout russia in support of the 4 new ridges, thousands of people flooded the streets to celebrate waving national flags. the largest event was held in red square in central moscow where president food and address the crowd. reuben lugens, let me tell you of one situation that happened while voting in la gans people were standing in a queue 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, prevent them from using their native language to basically ban their culture. but they fail to do so. 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. 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, sees of people everywhere on the other side of moscow's iconic st vessels cathedral too. 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 ard, celebrating because the country just got

a bit bigger because it accepted new territories. these people are cheering because for them the hashtags, we don't let our people down isn't just empty word. this is the hashtags that you can see on billboards all around moscow. and of course, it's about the people up on rosier harris song and gone back for the people of these regions. this is really a chance to feel much more secure, much more safe 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 daunted slogans. people's republic

said the regions of the porsha and hair some awe ukraine has demanded fast track membership to nato. but just hours after making the request, the chief of the alliance didn't appear so accommodating, so green pack. so we have already made our way to nature. today. crane is applying to the edge rate. we're taking our defining sab, by signing ukraine's application for the last record that action to nato nash. this system membership of course, has to be taken by all 3rd allies and we take these positions bought a consensus. our focus now is on providing an immediate support to ukraine and to help you can defend itself against the russian brutal invasion. the nato 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 black mel benito 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. so nato officially remains out of the conflict. there's also risk of escalation beyond ukraine evolving. all the nato allies, are we all to be medically, will not. needless not to talk 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. course their party to the conflict. but, you know, they want to, like, they want to just kind of weasel out on legalese talk saying, well, you know,

we haven't declared war on russia. we're not in war, russia, but in fact, they are at war with russia. they're sending all sorts of arms to ukraine that are killing people that are killing russians. they are killing ukrainians that don't want to live longer to be kia regime. so 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 new 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 loss is of course in washington. obviously they didn't give him good enough instructions because they don't know what to do now either because they're not really anxious to flight russia. and his speech on friday, vladimir putin claim, the west was behind. this week's mysterious damage to the north stream gas

pipelines running from russia to europe. video in that ms. little nicholas, which is 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 pipelines, the north stream, which run along the bottom of the baltic sea. in fact, they begun to destroy the pan european energy infrastructure. is obvious to everyone who benefits from it. look, us dictatorship is based on brute force you what you want. and in new york, the sabotage of the north stream pipelines was the focus of the un security council meeting, where the russian ambassador to the un made it clear who could have had a hand in the incident. the main question whether, what happened with the nord stream benefits the united states? 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 due that he energy crisis, european production has been hastily transferred to the us. they are receiving ta 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 sabotaged? well, we had russia taking the floor of the un security council and pointing out that at the end of the day, it is the united states. and the natural gas companies in the united states with the main beneficiaries of the axis, sabotage against the north stream to pipeline in the russian representatives

pointed out that earlier we have heard from by saying that he would put an end to the north stream to pipeline in response to russia, moves and ukraine, the threat was made for the united states to do something like this. furthermore, u. s. military drill that happened in june involved rehearsing activities near the north stream 2 sites near the strikes, the places that were struck. russia also pointed to the former foreign minister of poland to tweeted out, thanking the united states for these attacks on the north stream pipeline. and so at this point, everything seems to indicate that the united states is to blame. the representative of the united states did not present any evidence to counter russia's claims, pointing toward u. s. involvement in the attack. he simply dismissed it as a conspiracy theory, and then went further to claim the celebration. yet russia held for the expansion and the joining of these regions into russia after democratic referendums was

somehow fascist. let me be clear. the united states categorically denies any involvement in this incident. and we reject any assertions saying the contrary. i know our russian colleagues have had a bad afternoon say a bad day. they had to sit and watch that strangely odd fashion. nuremberg style rally combined with las vegas, 1970 show that happened in moscow this morning to celebrate the illegal annexation of crania and territory. now the united states really had no response to russia's evidence, just persistent claims that russia's putting forward conspiracy theories and just persistent snyde characterizations of rushes positions on the entire matter. things got heated between the u. s representative and the russian representative on the floor of the council store. we went to white to you, referred to when you say russian disinformation in conspiracy theories,

we didn't say who was guilty here before an investigation is carried out. all we did a site fact, you can't deny the words of your own president. again, categorically denied us involvement in this incident. i also, i think we have heard quite categorically both from me and from ours. one of our briefers this morning that the energy situation in europe. however, one wants to describe it is more effective by rushes, unreliable unreliability, as an energy supplier than anything to do with the united states. now, the russian representative pointed out the selective nature of the u. s claiming to support sovereignty and independence. for example, the united states is claiming it will defend taiwan despite the entire world. for the most part, including the united states. admitting that taiwan as robins of china seems like the desire for countries to have democratic will. and sovereignty is rather selective. ready on the us is parks. that was one of the main points. russia may in

response to the accusatory tone coming from the united states and its allies to go further in depth on this little cross live. now to human rights attorney dan co, violet, dan is good to see you now when it comes to the statements that were made during this session, russia is representative said the only winner right now is america's l. n. g companies. how would you estimate the real impact of the damage to the pipeline will be on the european economy? it will crash some of those economy. so i think i've seen the statistics that it's now estimated germany is going to have an 8 percent decline in their gross national product. i think the britain will be greatly hurt. this is going to devastate the european economy. it also should be mentioned, this is going to have horrible environmental impacts as well. there's going to be

huge releases a methane which you know is 20 times more damaging in terms of you know, contributing to climate change than c. o 2 is silly, this is a terrible thing that's happened. it isn't, it seems like the impact is so much further than even what we fully realize. what now right now, but when it comes to the un security council, one of the words that was use, the most was sabotage. it seems as if the agreement comes in the fact that there was some sort of deliberate sabotage related to the pipelines and that damage. now can we hope for a real investigation here, and who do you think is responsible at the end of the day and will we even expect to really find that out? yeah, i, i think we're going to find out 25 years from now. who did it, you know, if we ever do the west is probably going to take the lead on this, which means,

you know, they're not going to seriously look into allegations that are the u. s. it, i think everything points to the us again in terms of the chamber, the who benefits from this. it's really only the us, you know, biden's made clear. and trump make clear. it's been made clear by the us for a long time. they didn't want north stream, they didn't want germany cozying up to russia. and again, by made the statement when i asked you, can you prevent this? yeah, we have ways of preventing this, and this is the way. the other thing is that only a few countries in the world even have the capability to pull it off. what was done, you know, an underwater hiding damage to a very well engineered pipeline that was engineer to deal with huge water pressure and other threats to it. so you put everything together. germany as

benefit from this, russia doesn't benefit from it. you know, said all they had to do, say the word, and he turn on the spigot. you know, and i think russia would always want that. you know, the ability to do that, and it would be a great leverage that russia would have with countries like germany and now it's gone that leverage is gone. the only country i see benefiting is the us. and i think i think the us did it. i think most rational, sentient beings think that and that's why, by the way, i think you're not going to hear a lot about nordstrom in the western media in the upcoming days, because i think they know that everyone suspects the us suddenly seems like it's already being down played in the west despite the massive impact, as we noted that it will have on europe in the long term. now, when it comes to this meeting, the u. k. voice allegations saying that russia was weapon ising,

the security council meeting. what do you make of this kind of statement, especially given the issues at hand? honestly, i don't even know what that means. it's just a silly state. and i mean, the security council exists and the un charter makes it clear to deal with issues of international peace and security. well, i mean the, the issues that rushes raising go very deeply to that you know, the attack on this nordstrom pipeline. i've heard other commentators say, and i agree was the worst state sponsored terrorist act that we've seen you know, in maybe ever. and what could be more important then to deal with, than that, you know, by the security council, this goes to the core of international peace and security. and this should have

been brought to them. and the security council should deal with it. but i, i truly data will, you know, it was interesting to watch during this meeting was the fact that rushes representative brought up a number of points. and then the u. s. representative came in and simply accused russia of distracting the world from these new territories a just joined russia by instead of focusing on the pipeline sabotaged. what's your take on that sort of accusation? i mean, are we talking about 2 different things that simply can't be address separately and have to just be thrown together, or is there a time in place for each of them here? well, i think there's a time in place for everything. i mean, as i listen to that clip, are those clips from the u. s. representative odyssey i became very upset. i mean, you know, there was nothing diplomatic in those statements. all he did was attack russia and frankly attacked the russian people, you know,

the u. s. is given up on diplomacy, not just for the russia, but with anyone. you know, right now we live in dangerous times. the conflict in ukraine is very dangerous. every now everyone knows that this could lead to world war 3. this could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. the u. s. should be doing everything it can to broker a deal the end this war. and yet, as we know, the u. s. has done everything he could to provoke this conflict and to keep it going. and i just find that completely despicable really. yeah. certainly a lot of daycare and a lot of lessons to be learn human rights attorney dan corvalle. thank you for your time in analysis. thank you very much. the russian turk stream gas pipeline operator says another lens has withdrawn its export license amid wider you sanctions against moscow. this means that the turk stream, dutch subsidiary can't provide technical maintenance on the pipeline. but you're

going south stream company, told archie that the measures will not affect the flow of gas, although it's 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 recent damage to the north through one and 2 pipelines. political scientists, nar, so non good alton 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 interrogation to europe, asia, the 1st step was just a few days ago. i talk to a pipeline in order to tim pipeline and baltic c. and i think this statement from the diet sites is the 2nd step of american intervention to our region. i mean, they are trying to, is a late, a russia not from just the european sites,

but also from the turkey side because is, you know, toki and russia has really good relation. starts with a letter from the us treasury department to the turkish business men association. that they train them to do, do not cooperate with russia. and just off this american side, they trade 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 the russia and the europe ha relation, i mean, today the relation and the different kinds of relation thought. that's why 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
