with cheers and i 1st of a motion to vladimir putin some linesman, similar scenes as well as you can see in your screen. they're held. and her song against her. it all follows they 5 day long referendums held in those areas from the 23rd to the 27th of sept. timber. well, let's go through those final results in the done yet. so republic over 99 percent of people who went to the polls voted to join russia as you can see, a blue tide as well heralding the result in the loop. ganske republic, 98 percent voting in favor of uniting with russia while 93 and 87 percent, respectively. in this approach she and her son reach and said yes to joining russia . well, the termite after pulling stations also remarkably high take a look at this. the largest turnout in di da, nets, republic, $97.00 and

a half percent of eligible people casting their ballots. and over 1600000 voted in will against republic on either side, they're adding those totals up. over a 1000000 people came out to have their say in they, her son and zap parachia regions ahead of the vote. we spoke to many local to eagerly anticipated what the vote might bring seeking the political them. i'll vote in favor of it. i have an extremely positive view of this is exactly what we'd been waiting for since 2014. our people have suffered a lot for the idea of joining russia. all these events have shown that we have one path. it should be done as soon as possible. we hope that no one will attack russian territory. i will whoa, it's in favor because it's time to become part of russia who have been wait impatiently for e t is. we're tired of the whole situation. this region must return to its home. the time has come, so the decision must be made. i will vote yes so that there will be no more

shelling and everything will work out so that we live as we did before. we've been heading towards this for a long time, 8 years. it should have been done a long time ago, and very happy about this. i think life will become more stable. there will be protection. maybe the war will end sooner. i'll vote in favor of it. we've wanted to return home for a long time since 2014, the sooner the better without russia, we have no future. however, the voting process was marred by shelling, conducted by ukrainian forces, according to local authorities. in her san residential buildings on the university were targeted with several people reportedly wounded and a warning you may find the following, images disturbing and done. yeah, it's a woman was killed in her workplace after she was struck by a fragment from a nato supplied artillery shell, which landed just outside the building and ends up a rose. yes. after the final results were announced. 30 people were killed and 88

wounded in an attack on a convoy of civilian vehicles. the head of a region saved over a dozen strikes for herd targeting the cars, which were moving towards russian controlled territory. as for the western reaction, the e u. the u. s. refused to accept the results of the referendums, branding the move annexation, not the expression of free will of the local population. however, their position does appear to be a hypocritical one or senior correspondent, morass. garcia can take us 3. it is no exaggeration to say that these 4 referendums were historic. this is a pivotal moment in history and such movements. pick up many names. referendum annexation re union letterman put in is once again violating international law with

his friends to next more if he crane will not hesitate to take further action, including posing more sanctions to cripple putting the war machine. the united states, together with our allies and partners, are announcing 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 signing legislation from congress that will provide an additional $12000000000.00 to support ukraine tooth and has mobilize hundreds of houses. so more truce engaged in irresponsible nuclear sabre rattling and now illegally annex more ukrainian territory with nights russian federation. welcome. 6000000 citizens at hor, boss region by the will of the people, the will of the people and the right of self determination are alien to nato, an entire continent. europe has sacrificed that economic prosperity and future for

america's hooley war in you. craig, who in europe voted for this, who voted for her shamrock veranda, organized in the territories that russia occupied, an illegal attempt to grap land and to change international borders by force. the sham or a friend who's were engineered in moscow on impulse, on ukraine. in total violation of international law evade, as i said, with a certain gravity at a time a russia is renewing its aggressive rhetoric at a time where it organizes sham referendums, which sign it status of a paris state. we don't get all of this rhetoric, of course, only applies to russia when referendum is good for nato. it is righteous when it is of it's a shop, kosovo. nate, who states invade a sovereign state,

redraw the borders and state your referendum, just and fair. they called it because they did it inside the you. meanwhile, barcelona is peaceful attempt at a referendum of freedom absolutely suppressed. i could this jailed and persecuted, and everyone pretends to she nothing. where did all these rules and rights go? it is ridiculous to hear about the redrawing of borders from across the ocean after the nato bombing of yugoslavia, after supporting the redrawing of barbara with their planes within dependence of crossover. this is not a conflict between russia and ukraine. how can it be when the entire ukrainian military is paid for train supplied, armed and directed by nato? these would have been decided if it had just been russia and ukraine instead. this is a silent war between russia and the west and the,

to the point. this continued bloodshed, that violence is to cement nato's right to be the only power on the planet. that gets to redraw maps and stage referendums. they call this right in the most abstract way. rules versus delegate them 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 your who's ever seen these rules, solid deception, double already triple standards. it's easy to count on fools like 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 threat. but that stay for russia, enough is enough. this apparently is what nato cannot accept. this obedience revolt a quantity. they believe that they are better than the rest of the world. superior

. even exceptional. so say the rules that no one has ever she wore, i guess they have 40 from him son, russia. this week the russian defense ministry released, flooded showing the destruction of ukrainian military, a nationalist, grouping's positions, military vehicles, including 2 tanks on identified number of forces were head. the l. o. d reports that russian soldiers malice to identify enemy locations by a drone and then deliver strikes and for the safety concerns of their own soldiers. russian commanders say they have withdrawn forces from the city of the man to avoid being encircled by the ukrainian military in the area trip, something repossession to more secure locations. despite he has advanced the russian defense ministry reports ukraine, suffering heavy losses with $200.00 trips killed in the last 24 hours. and 5 tanks

and 9 combine vehicles destroyed not in his much talked about speech on friday. vladimir putin also claim the west was behind this week. damage of the nord stream gas pipelines running from russia to europe in the baltic sea video in that ms. little that goes with 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'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, the incident occurred on monday with last reported to have the power of hundreds of kilograms of hi exclusive leading to the preliminary conclusion of sabotage. now

denmark's engine energy agency saves one of the 2 ruptured pipelines appears to have stopped leaking natural gas. the department said the last gas would have been enough to supply denmark needs for 3 months. but on tuesday, the former polish foreign minister posted a tweet following the under water blast. it's pretty sizable as well, isn't it? which read as you can see there. thank you, usa, attributing the lead sabotaged to washington on thursday, though he deleted his controversial message. let's take a look at what was said because the day before deleting it, he wrote another post. let's put it up here. the politician attempted to clarify his stance this time, saying he was quote blood that the nord stream is par allies. i think it's good for poland, but as you will notice, no, were here is attribution to possible us involvement said the thank you you as

a tweets of mr. sikorsky in the fact it was at deleted fuel suspicion of washington's hand in the matter. the former minister of defense of poland and current member of the european parliament wrote his love sikorsky as honesty as admirable. the e u is afraid to say it, please say it who blew up the north stream. $23.00 leakages in one place us blew up russian gas pipelines. nord stream, one and 2 says former polish defense minister still more evidence this time from member of the european parliament roddic sikorsky, poland u. s. officials deny the allegations this my thoughts on tuesday. u. s. secretary of state, on sunny blinking notes, say to washington's aspirations, to end europe dependence on russian energy and promised the surgeon supplies of liquefied natural gas from washington were working to continue to search. ellen

g supplies to europe in cooperation with global partners, including, i mean of 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, we got some reaction to all this from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who told the program. washington is then main beneficiary of know what stream going off like. united states will make a windfall. profits showing liquid natural gas to their erstwhile european allies. how can you call them european allies when you're blowing up a european infrastructure? there's no other party that you know that a would have the political clout to carry this out and 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 was your and by blowing up the pipeline, united states 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 that was here this case. but western media were clear and who they deemed responsible for the destruction. moscow outlets accused russia of blowing up its own vital infrastructure. marty correspond maria castro, of adults further into those accusations, anonymous sources and the so called highly likely narrative. these are tactics

widely used by western lina when they need to blame moscow, but lack the evidence to do so. and natasha bertrand currently working for cnn. once again, proved that she is an expert here. sites in some unknown european security officials who allegedly saw some russian navy ships in the vicinity of the north spring pipeline leaks. it's unclear whether the ships had anything to do with those explosions. these sources and others said, but it's one of the many factors that investigators will be looking into. russian submarines were also observed not far from those areas. last week, one of the intelligence officials said seriously the worst gets nervous and starts screaming about rawson sobs. even if they see an old tin can floating in the baltics here, the information that the russian navy is ply in the seas and danish territorial waters appears after the incidents on the pipelines and is of course,

attributed to a source quote. familiar with the matter whom now, for example, news of american helicopter, seen in the vicinity, appeared a few weeks before the gas leaks. and even earlier, americans themselves were boasting about conduct and underwater drone experiments in the same area. and of course, there's joe biden, solan of the quote put an end to north string to there will be no longer north steam to we, we will bring it into. how will you do that? i promise you will be able do. you'll find none of that. and miss bro, trends article just the usual blame game against russia and this is not the 1st. * time that natasha is doing damage control for the us president. when hunter biden's laptop scandal was raised and she dismissed the entire story as russian this information, even though some of the digital files with sensitive information were confirmed as

authentic. her answer also crusade goes wrong back and it's based on on verified information. let's remember how eager she was to discuss the steel dorsey with any one who would listen. try to convince the public that donald trump is moscow's maggots. chris were seal wrote in late june that the trump campaign had been receiving a regular flow of intelligence about hillary clinton from the kremlin. she admits that there is no evidence, but she enjoys fantasizing about various theories on national television. the still dos here, by the way, it has since been described. that said box, that doesn't matter. right. well, here's another accusation that russians are supposedly behind the so called have vinyl syndrome. that's some medical issues experienced by u. s. government officials and military personnel. russia is one of only a few countries that has dedicated research and development to what some experts

believe could be the kind of weapon that could cause symptoms consistent with have on a syndrome. but the intelligence pointing to russia as a possible culprits is also constantia, according to multiple sources, familiar with the matter, making it difficult for analysts to assess with any certainty that moscow is behind the episodes. the c, i a has since confirmed that most havana syndrome cases are unlikely to have been caused by a foreign power. and now ms. bird turns wants us to believe that russia blew up its own gas pipelines. well, to use her wording, i could say it's unclear whether she has it in for russia, but according to her articles and numerous to be appearances, it seems that she, in fact, does, when one huge media outlet makes such a special report as cnn did then others will copy it and others may not even insert the noun, sit into the pieces as see it in journalist did. at the end,

at least the journalist admitted that the russian ships were always there. so really short self in the p basically said, i've got no news for this is, you know, nonsense this article, but unfortunately we're living in an age now where copying were replicate to what british journalism to the school. chun listen is really now all the main thing, you know. and so it's really dangerous when outlets of that size put up such information. it's all too common. so western made it to rush ahead and just copy and paste these, these mistakes, and then you know, not really care about the integrity of what they're doing. it's becoming more more common. the french embassy and burkina faso has come under attack by angry locals. it's happening as the west african country goes through a 2nd military coup this year alone. ah, protesters attempted to sent the building

a blaze from multiple directions as people smashed windows with rocks and sticks on through bricks at the entrance to the side. the demonstrators or anger, the failure of regional french forces to stem islamist terrorism, and the trouble of nation demeanour arrived to restore the former a gym of blaze composure. as sanker said, you can kill me, but 1000 sanker i will be borne where sanker us kids and our children will also be pro sanker. shame on you to me but beat france. france will win either our nation around deaths. we don't need dom eva. he betrayed us. so we're here to protest because for all this time the member has been the ruling losing troops where loses civilians in the new team seems to have more willingness to change the situation. they want to change partner. so i think it's a good idea. the former president was lined to us. he promised us a better times,

but the result is very bad. this guy's a spy for france. people told him, we don't want to stay with france. police change partners good with rush, china or whoever step by step, after almost 70 years of france were, cannot, cannot manufacture their own needle beat france, africa, long life to russia, beat imperialism. b comma cameras we are facing bet times i repeat times are bad at least as an appeal to the youth of burkina. let's go out. don't be afraid, comrades. we are going to blog their weight. beat, france, beads, amoeba, our country or death in us. we will, when we want to say no to france, we want to say no to french africa. we need freedom. we need to be on our own. that's why we are out to say no, no, and no. we or die in the military coup, power change occurred on friday was marked by explosions and shootings are on the presidential palace in the capital. why get do good? the following day, the countries ice,

the president was reported to be using french protection in order to regroup and fight back. now the initial over, through was announced by army officers on a seas national tv channel, the let knuckle, the net, and colonel paul henry santiago de amoeba, has tried to retreat to a french piece to prepare a counter offensive in order to so division amongst our defense and security forces he has done this in the face of our firm will how to turn to other partners for assistance with in our fight against terrorism. this is ricky, no faso had already been shaken by the latest terrorist attack on the country. on monday, the assault targeted a convoy taking supplies to the northern part of the country lemming the lives of at least 11 soldiers islamist terror attacks. i've been constant in the country on wider sal region since 2015, particularly in burkina faso alone. thousands of people have been killed and nearly 2000000 people displaced from their homes in that period. ah,

in more news from africa, zimbabwe needs $40000000000.00 to develop its collapsing infrastructure that is, according to the nation's 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 in the fiscal space that we have, we are constrained in that area. so why is this happening? well, 20 years of us that sanctions are believed to be the main reason for the countries boss, societal and financial issues affecting millions of us citizens at the un general assembly. several african leaders asked washington to lift the sanctions while zimbabwe president called for a quote, immediate end to the restrictions which he sees recently illegal. the on line do 30 us efforts of the ellipse, will sanctions one dierdre humper and slowed down our progress and villas

ish. so still the bu and inclusive development. we wowza again paula, they needed an unconditional wearable form. the sanctions imposed in 2002 have severely curtailed the country's development, zimbabwe. his leader says they have prevented the country from climbing out of an economic crisis, leading to thousands of people fleeing with many of those left behind suffering from severe drought and starvation. others se economic mismanagement by local authorities on the seizing of farmland from white farmers as worse than the situation or correspondent horrible. let tuttle ha asthma zimbabwe is buckling and the sanctions imposed by was the nations and led by the united states . the press up continues. this by the poor economy situation in the

region. and while these things sions 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 does in baldwin. government says that these 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 was formerly employed. they are paid in the local currency or to juice above and rulers. but most of the services in products you normally buy didn't yes,

dollars and change it to be i i saw that is yes. dollars, which in afforded him i've in those it's not working. so i did of the day that end up or she to move out or rented out and see those or quite the 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. schools are demanding that we pay thiessen the is 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 u. s. dollars as well as that as 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 dear, the failure to pay for. and therefore i opted 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 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 since i've targeted and not hurting ordinary them. bob woods, the situation on the ground looks rather different. got out of

t n. john is right to asia, we're in indonesia report say 175. people are dead and over $300.00 injured after a rife broke out at a football match in east java. police use tear gas shields buttons to suppress the rioters which caused panic. deadly some pete. the league game was held in milan between long time rivals, or rima and pers, via fund. busy storm the field after a winning goal was scored by pers, by with chaos and in suing inside and outside the stadium. the football association of indonesia has a 9th investigation into the tragic events. unsuspended all much is in the country for a week. right. going beyond the headlines next to here, the direct thoughts of those most affected by the ukraine conflict. today we are chronicling what had been perhaps the biggest thought of all.
