matic and getting to this, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk with the stories that shape the weak dunbar republics on the her psalm approaching region celebrates on historic movement after vladimir putin. the decree yonder session to russia, after residential overwhelmingly in favor of the chain of voting, wasn't easy. now that territories faced relentless shelling purportedly by ukrainian forces during the referendum process on joining the russian federation. also with the anglo saxons, had not had enough with this sanction. they moved on to diversion russian president planes, the west for the comprehensive damage done to the north stream pipelines which

supply gas to europe and points to the main beneficiary of the allege sabotage, live reaction coming up with re locals. i talked the french embassy and burkina faso is capital with people, slumming, powers has failed delivery mission to maintain security and the west african country. and the 2nd this year you're not okay with the apprenticeship. we are not okay with imperialism. marchina foster will always be free with the big stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly r t on friday in moscow. witnessed on historic event with the countries press, then signing at decree on the accession of 2 regions,

her son adds up a rogia on to republics done yet can lou ganske into the russian federation. in his speech at the signing ceremony, latimer putin urged ukraine to return to peace talks, but emphasized not the status of the for new territories was non negotiable. blue i am even get as you need, we call on the key of regime to immediately cease fire. all hall, still it is the war it on lease back in 2014 and returned to the negotiating table were ready for this is been said more than once, but we will not discuss the choice of the people in the gans didn't answer his own . and zap rogia, it's done, russia will not betray them. the ceremony was followed by celebrations across all for new russian territory. the night sky lit up and a blaze of color as a fireworks display. it was held up this r mikaela memorial complex in the done yes, republic, in melee to the biggest city russia controls in this up i was your region. people

reacted with cheers and i 1st of a motion to fly them. we are and that with similar witness in her song, i'm looking as well it all fall it with the 5 day long referendums held in those areas from the 23rd to the 27th of september. well, let's go through those final results in the done yet. republic. over 99 percent of the people who went to the polls voted to join russia. a similar result in the move gaps were public, 98 percent in favor. you can see here really just a sea of blue, 93 and 87 percent, respectively in this approach here. and her san regents. the turnover, by the way, asked the polling stations also remarkably high, the largest of which was in the done yes. republic, $97.00 and a half percent of eligible people casting their ballots. and over 1600000 voted in the new council republic. if you do the sums and the other sides here as well. a

1000000 people came out to have their say in the her san zapper, which you regions at of the vote. we spoke to many local who eagerly anticipated what the referendum might bring. you know, we can move to the, i'll vote in favor of it. i have an extremely positive view of this. it's exactly what we've 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 war which in favor because it's time to become part of russia. we have been waiting patiently for 8 years. 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, ears. 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, and 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 winded. the warning you may find the following image is disturbing. in done, yes, a woman was killed in her workplace after she was struck by a fragment from an nathan supplied artillery shell up london just outside the building absolute devastation in this upper was you region to the final results for an ice 30 people were killed $88.00 wounded in an attack on a convoy of civilian vehicles, the head of the regions phase that over

a dozen strikes were heard targeting the cars, which were moving towards at rushing control territory safe. and let's talk a little bit about the western reaction here. the e u, the u. s. i refused to accept the results of the referendums, branding the move, an annexation, not the expression of the free will of the local population sh, but that western position contains an elements of hypocrisy. it may be said as our senior correspond, rock as div texas 3, it is no exaggeration to say that these federal referendums were historic. this is a pivotal moment in history and such moments. pick up many names, referendum annexation re union. letterman perkins, once again violating international law with his friends to annex more if the crane will not hesitate to take further action,

including imposing more sanctions to cripple prudence 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. curtain has mobilized hundreds of houses, so more troops engaged in irresponsible newkirk saber rattling and now illegally annex more ukrainian territory with night russian federation. welcome 6000000 citizens and who was regional by the will of the people, the will of the people and the right of self determination. i alien to nato, an entire confident europe has sacrificed it's economic prosperity and future for america's hooley war in you crate. who in europe voted for this,

who voted for ha shamrock veranda organized in the territories that russia occupied? any legal attempt to grab the 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, if i had, 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's status of a paris state. we don't get all of this rhetoric, of course, only applies to russia, where the referendum is good for nato. it is righteous when it is of, it's a shall 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 attempts at a referendum of freedom, a brutally suppressed activist 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 serbia with their plains within dependence of cost over 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, these ease of silent war between russia and the west. at 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, roughly delicate them, with strategic security agreements, fly into the trash, shall we hear, is that the west to friends 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, exportation, and enslavement instead of democracy. the unipolar world, it is built is anti democratic, deceitful, and hypocritical, through and through up at that, stay with her washer. 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

or i guess there are t from him son. russia is something else to show you here this week the russian defense ministry released funded, showing the destruction of ukrainian military and nationalist groups. physicians, military vehicles, including 2 tank, sullen on identified number of armed forces were hits. the defense ministry said that russian soldiers managed to identify enemy locations by a drones before conducting strikes. andrew to safety concerns for their own soldiers. russian commanders say they withdrawn forces from the city of the man to avoid being in circle by the ukrainian military in the area. the russian troops of being reposition to more secure locations, the spied kids, the bumps, the russian defense ministry reports ukraine, suffering heavy losses with 200 soldiers killed within the past day, 5 tanks and 9 combat vehicles destroyed. the

not in his much talked about speech on friday, let me put and also claim the west was behind. this week's damage of the nord stream gas pipelines running from russia to europe in the baltic sea. oh video in that ms. little. that doesn't look like it's 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've begun to destroy the patent european energy infrastructure is obvious to everyone who benefits from it. look, us dictatorship is based on brute force. the way the incident occurred on monday with glass reported to have have the power of hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, leading to the preliminary conclusions, sabotaged. now denmark energy agency saves while the ruptured pipelines appears to have stopped leaking, natural gas, but 3 others keep doing. so that apartment odds,

the lost gas would have been enough to supply denmark's needs for 3 months. when on tuesday, they for a polish foreign minister posted a tweet following the under water blast at the pipeline, saying, as you can see here, concluding with thank you usa essentially occupying the alleged, sabotaged to washington on thursday, though he deleted his controversial message. however, the day before deleting it, he wrote another post. let's have a look. the politician attempted to clarify his stance this time saying he was quote, blood. the nord stream is paralyzed adding that it's good for poland, but as you'll notice, no, we're here. do you see attribution to possible u. s. involvement mentioned that thank you usa tweet of mr. sikorsky in the fact it was deleted, fueled suspicion of washington's hand in the matter. former minister of defense of

poland and current member of the european parliament wrote islov sikorsky. honesty is admirable. the e u is afraid to say it, please say it who blew up the nord stream to 3 leakages in one place. u. s. blew up brush and 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. despite that on choose the u. s. secretary of state anthony, blinking noted washington's aspirations to end europe's dependence and russian energy, and promised the surge and american supplies of liquefied natural gas to the continent were working to continue to search alan 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 or former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, had told the program that washington is the main beneficiary of north stream going offline. 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 in be have the incentive of, you know, the united states was confronted with the fact that the german people were beginning to rebel against the us 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, you 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, but western media were clear in whom they deemed responsible for the destruction. moscow news outlets accused russia blowing up its own vital infrastructure. r t correspondent, marina cost river dell was further into those accusations. anonymous sources. an assault called highly likely narrative. these are tactics widely used by western lina when they need to blame moscow. a lack the evidence to do so. and natasha bertrand currently working for cnn. once again, proved that she's an expert here, sites in some on known european security officials who allegedly saw some russian

navy ships in the vicinity of the north spring pipeline lakes. it's unclear whether the ships had anything to do with those explosions. this sauces and others said, but it's one of the many factors that investigators will be looking into. russian submarine were also observed not far from those areas last week. one of the intelligence officials said, seriously, the worse gets nervous and starts screaming about russian 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 conducting underwater drone experiments in the same area. and of course, there's joe biden, sullen of the quote, put an end to north string to there will be no longer a north steam to we. we will bring it into. how will you do that? i promise you will be able to do. you'll find none of that and miss bird turns 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 raging, 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 often crusade goes wrong back and it's based on on verified information. let's remember how eager she was to discuss the steel dosier with any

one who would listen. try to convince the public that donald trump is moscow's maggots. christopher still 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 discredited, but 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 havana syndrome. but the intelligence pointing to russia as a possible culprit is all circumstantial, 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 miss bertrand wants us to believe that russia blow 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 tv appearances, it seems that she, in fact, does well, let's welcome live on to the programmer, andrew career co, an american moscow base political analysts. thanks for your time today, andrew. i direct one 1st. do you think the nord stream exclusions were an act of sabotage and do you think as vladimir putin as suggested a western power could have been responsible? yes, i am 100 percent support. that interpretation actually. right after this terrorist attack occur, and i personally assess that as

a terrorist attack. also more specifically attack a logical terrorist attack, because there's a lot of like a logical damage that could have occurred. i wrote an article titled, the anglo american access benefits from the ecological terrorist attack against nor stream. or i wrote about the u. s. new case interests not only in dividing and ruling europe and russia through attacking this final physical piece of infrastructure. they're really still the chance to connect russia and the blocks on official german leader, but also how it benefits poland because needed. keep in mind that this terrorist attack occurred right around the same time that the baltic pipe between norway, denmark and poland open. and we have a larger strategic reorientation at play in continental european politics, where the u. s. has gradually been favoring paul line as it's curved, las partner on the continent instead of germany. the reasons for this are so obvious. first and foremost, the poland is vehemently bruce of phobic in terms of his leadership. unfortunately,

that influence is also seep into a society. secondly, because of this poem is dedicated to modernizing its military investing tens of billions of dollars to that. and of course, buying american arms and 3rd pony as this saw i imperial design of trying to establish where as they say, reestablish a sphere of influence in the region. so with all these factors being considered and keeping in mind the not coincidental timing of this terrorist act, it certainly appears as though this was also aimed at bolstering poll. i'm status in the e at the expense of jeremy, back by the united states and the u. k, so with a view to finding out what exactly happens on investigations been launched by u. s. allies, germany, denmark on sweden. can we hope for them to be objective? i do not believe is going to be objective to the contrary. i believe that this is simply an act of trying to cover out the crime out of the fact. also, if you look at the ongoing information warfare campaign against russia,

i mean the west is peddling this literal conspiracy theory that not only in russia blow up, it's almost $5000000000.00 pipeline. but then you would be able to do so, and nato controlled waters and get away a bridge on the one hand, they want to think that russia is so weak and being defeated by ukraine, which isn't true because the ukraine, ukrainian military and actually natal back. but all the ukrainian profit, but on the other hand, russia able to somehow blow up its own pipeline, that nato control water is not even in a country like ukraine. and get away with that. i think that is completely ridiculous and then there's still called investigation. i'm going to be aimed at covering up the actual crime that the us and the u. k. committed and possibly even planning phase evidence to try to implicate russia. i have no faith in the objectivity of this so called investigation. it is 100 percent chance just interested to get your perspective. and another aspect of this, as you went through there, western media have tried to pin the blame on russia,

but western governments, there is the slight divergence there. they've been hesitant having beta back those . tim's why do you think that is? i think that is a government word to officially back these claims. it raises the question of the in via ability of need of so called article 5, because technically, this is a jointly russia and german on an console pipeline. so if we go into conspiracy here, there russia blew up this jointly control pipeline, or technically, it's also blowing up the german pipeline, therefore, and natal clamp law. therefore, we reached the conclusion that it could be a violation of article 5, which mandates a mutual defense for nato allies. but this mass specified exactly how that defense supposed to be a provision. so it would actually show, he actually can come to think about this conspiracy theory works against the west own insurance, because if we accept that is true, which it's not malicious, save for arguments sake rush, it blew up a partially nato control. i blank considering that german use

a needle member. well, if there isn't a nuclear strike or any type of reciprocal act against russia, we'll kind of go show them what good, what uses article 5, i mean, is nato really a paper? tiger, in this case, is nato backing down. so i think that the orchestrator of this information worth your campaign, did it really thinking through? because if they did, they would realize it's completely counterproductive to article 5, so called deterrence intentions. it could to the contrary, it counteracts them, it makes it seem like russia so strong. it could blow up a partially needle control my whining needle. fired. get away with the scott free article 5 doesn't mean under just what we have you in the program brief. if you will, americans top to plymouth has said that no one would benefit from sabotaging north stream. is that true? or who would benefit the most benefits the most by being able to sever the final physical link between russia and germany,

which could in theory stood the chance of a separate piece of granite between rushing ukrainian or russian, the west. in the event that germany were to be able to fly to strategic autonomy over here, of course, the prospects for all weekend, but the scenario is to remain on the card. secondly, the u. s. is now the top buyers. so america is going to be banking off of this terrorist attack. and 3rd, by having poland become very a line to be used so called our security to the current that dental washing of the baltic pipe. and the same day of the tear of the test occurred. us and able to advance its larger strategic re orientation in european cost mental politics by gradually favoring poland over germany as a top partner in europe. so i think there are a lot of reasons why the us actually stand by what blanket and other point. all right, a lot of food for thought, say not shot to under thanks very much for your time. this summed under the crib co, moscow base political list. now,

the french embassy in burkina. faso has come under attack by angry locals. it's happening as the west african country goes through a 2nd government overthrow by the military. in 8 months, the protestors attempted the sense that building ablaze from multiple directions as people smashed windows with rocks and sticks and through bricks. at the entrance, the demonstrators are angry. the failure of the french forces they say to stem islamist terrorism and the trouble nation demeanor arrived to restore the former a gym of blaze compar it as sanker. i said you can kill me, but 1000 sanker will be borne where sanker us kids and our children will also be pro sanker. shame on you to maybe beat france. france will win either our nation around deaths. we don't need dom eva. he betrayed us. we're here to protest because for all this time the member has been the ruling blues and 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 guys, this pie 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 sipes. 2 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, beat, amoeba, our country or death. we will, when we want to say no to france, we want to say no to french, africa whinnied freedom. we need to be on our own. that's why we're out to say no, no, and no wean or die. well, the militia,

coo and power change occurred on friday. they're marked by explosions and shootings are on the presidential palace in the capital. why do go the following day? the countries i said president was reported to be using french protection to regroup and fight by the overthrow was an and spy army officers on the seas. national tv channel, the let knuckle. the tenant colonel paul henry st. dogwood 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 to turn to other partners for assistance in our fight against terrorism. bell burkina faso was already shaken by the latest terrorist attack on the country. on monday, last, the assault targeted a convoy ticking supplies to a northern part of the country, claiming the lives of at least 11 soldiers. islam terror attacks have been a constant in the country and the wider sal region. in recent years,

in burkina faso alone, thousands of people have been killed on nearly 2000000 people displaced from their homes since 2015 or i time for a sunday visit to the world's apart studios next. find out who oksana has in the hot seat to day right ahead. this is our ah mm welcome to was the part generally like to say that the bass teacher of military strategy is in fact war as costly and cruel as it.
