slamming pirates has failed military efforts to maintain security in the west african country. this amid 8 2nd qu, this year. we're not okay with the french. we are not okay with imperialism. burkina faso will always be free with the top stories of the week and the main headlines of to day. welcome to the weekly hero nazi. so vladimir putin has a submitted for ratification. now the documents on the accession of full new territories into that of the russian federation. it's after the president signed a decree on friday for the whole song, nuns apology regions. and i don't yet scan luke ounce group public to become a part of the country. in his speech at the signing ceremony, putin over to ukraine to return to peace talks. however, he emphasized the status of the new regions is non negotiable. the way he's get is you need,

we call on the key of regime to immediately cease fire all hostilities. the war it on least 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 to nance his own. and zap rogia, it's done. russia will not betray them. the ceremony was followed by celebrations across some 4 of the new russian territories. the night sky lit up with a blaze of color, as of fireworks display was long, thin donetta republic, millet, thoughtful, the biggest city that russia controls and his apology region. a people there gave an emotional reaction to putin's announcement. of course, similar scenes. witnesses, welding her song and new guns out. naturally, this all follows the referendum that were held in those areas. and here at our tea, we hit the streets now to speak to the people there to get their reaction. after the accession, documents were signed as dataflow, he was his journey, russia means better development of our region. we expect a lot of improvement in that. i think we've been waiting for this after 8 years,

so live in kind of their started find them bod, mintz. we have finally come closer to peace. what happened this friday was the best that could ever have happened to watch a lot of us. we are very grateful to the rational people for their support were. thank you very much. when i finally back home. meantime the e u and u. s. i refused to accept the referendum results or branding the move and annexation and not the expression of the free will of the local population. well, let's take a closer look at this. now with our, our senior correspondent, his not an ghastly f. it is no exaggeration to say that these fellow referendums were historic. this is a pivotal moment in history and such moments. pick up many names, referendum annexation re union. vladimir putin once again violating international law with his friends to next 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. truth and has mobilized hundreds of houses, so more truce, engaged in irresponsible nuclear saber rattling and now illegally annex more ukrainian territory with night russian federation. welcome. 6000000 citizens at hor, boss, regional by the will of the people, the will of the people and the right of self determination. i alien to nato an entire continent. europe has sacrificed that he cannot make 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? are an illegal attempt to grant land and to change international bought us by force . the sham referendums were engineered in moscow on the post on ukraine in total violation of international law. then as i said with a certain gravity at a time i, russia is renewing its aggressive rhetoric at a time where it organizes sham referendums, which sign it say this other parent state. when all of this rhetoric, of course, only applies to russia when a referendum is good for nato, it is righteous when it is of it's a sham, 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 and freedom of movement. he suppressed activist jailed and persecuted, and every one pretends to she nothing. where did all these rules and rights too? 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, with a independence 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? this would have been decided if it had just been russia and ukraine instead, lease, he's a silent war between russia and the west. and that's only 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 delicate 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 ever seen these roofs? it's 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. so b dns for a vote, 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'd guess they have arti from him, son, russia. so in the wake of those referendums are the european parliament is now reportedly considering sanctioning all international observers who watched over the recent referendums on joining russia, of course, held in at dawn bash republics and to former eastern ukrainian regions a french m e p. as or portly, sent such a request to the e used top diplomat, joseph burrow, we as elected members of the european parliament demand that all those who voluntarily assisted in any way the organization of these illegitimate referendums be individually targeted and sanction. let's discuss this issue now and cost life to bernice vanessa bailey, that the independent investigative journalist drawing us life from damascus as nearly temp off 7 to sunday evening where you open s or a very good even to you. thanks very much for joining us. you were an international observer at these referendums i,

one of those believed to be facing sanctions of vanessa. how, how did you react when you heard about such a proposal circulating in the you and you apparently being mentioned personally. yeah. i mean, that's very interesting that this letter written by natalie lorenzo and m e p to the high representative for the, for joseph burrell. mentioned me, as you say, personally. and in reality, this is an abuse of her power to carry out a personal vendetta against me. why? because i exposed her role very recently in effectively protecting the chemical weapons from the duma chemical weapons and syria. that of course led to the unlawful aggression by france, the u. k. and the u. s. in 2019. and that was heavily advocated for by natalie lewis, who also has connections to the syria campaign,

the organization that runs the p. o for the terrorist linked white helmet in syria, and connections to many of the so called descend club. the complex that is supposedly fact checking the work of independent journalists like myself. so, for me, this is clearly a personal vendetta, and she's using her influence within the european parliament to try and bring a personal talk against me. and it's no coincidence that my name appeared on the ukrainian kill list most the day after. wow. and that's what i mean on a personal level. it's no surprise for me that this is a personal vendetta, by, by this, by this french m. p. i mean, you talk about theory a, for example, the white helmets and stage to chemical attacks and all these things are not see, we were reporting weeks before these things happen in syria. but of course, i mean the white helmets. i could talk all day about them and their hollywood action. i wanted to ask you though you're being targeted here potentially. but why?

why does the e, you want to target the international observers in general? what, what's the aim in the wake of the referendums? do you think, i mean, what is extraordinary is that the you itself or the parliament is now effectively becoming a fascist entity. apparently, the 133 observe as independent observers that came from all over the world are not allowed to observe the referenda in, in dumbass and in the refugee centers throughout russia by the way. so we didn't only go to the best region and we reached a point where effectively if you challenge the dominant weston centric narrative, the nighttime century narrative you become liable to sanction, to being put on what is effectively and kill less and being targeted for assassination. as of course, the french journalist was in,

if stumble very recently, sorry, his name has just escaped me. but you know, and let was targeted in germany. a number of us were targeted in germany during the referendum and money have been threatened by their own countries with repercussions for coming to don't. but i mean, really we're living in extraordinary times when independent journalism, independent observation, or observance of referendum, democratic referenda. and i have to say not one of those $133.00 observe as found any violations with any of the referenda that were being carried out throughout dumbass throughout the russian territories. that's really just disturbing what you describe here. i mean, you say we're living, you know, during fascinating times for example, they are interesting times where they're profoundly disturbing times as well. i

mean, you know, as you say, when you push back against the mainstream narrative, now you find yourself on the cross has and that is profoundly disturbing. and as i wanted to ask you, as you will know, most of the international community, not recognizing the referendum is i'd say, most of the western community, frankly, because at this point, it's only 15 percent of the world that actually sanctioning russia, 75 percent of the world is for the most part, remaining neutral as you know, these ref read them to be called a sham by professional partners in the west. you witness to vote personally asked another 132 other international observers. how would you genuinely tell me the truth? how would you assess the procedures? actually, i was so impressed and every single electoral center that we went through and every electro committee that we spoke to for me, the most important thing was the respect for people's privacy. i mean, there were many people that were too afraid to come to the actual voting centers,

so they were allowed to vote from home and we went to one of the girls home from golf course. she had herself voluntarily come to russia to escape the ukrainian ultra nationalist attacks on us. and she was given the ballot paper and told to go into her own bedroom or nobody. watch what she was writing on the ballot paper and thought it was folded and put into the transparent followup or, you know, actually this referendum in the area that i was probably in my view, more democratic and most less than referenda that i've seen. yeah, yeah. i. busy think again, i think you make it very, very good, very, very good point. and at the end of the day though, it's good to see that the people have the right to self determine here on this. you know, these have read names that affected quite literally millions of people despite the western press and western governments, calling it

a sham and cynical and calling it theatre. well, it's pretty clear why they would be on that side of offense for that to be really independent investigative journalist. joining us live from damascus. always good to see you. thank you very much. thank you for meanwhile, in italy, a rally was held to show support for the for formal ukrainian regions. joining russia have a look at this residence of the northern italian city of genoa gathered in the central square saying they recognize the results of the referendums held in those territories. they also said western powers must stop escalating the ukraine conflict by pumping weapons into the country. time now to there's some of the very latest about events from the ukrainian conflict. o, key of so tends to advance and the how to song region have been suppressed. that's according to the russian ministry of defense. more than $200.00 ukrainian troops reportedly killed during the late is offensive or increasing total loss is on the southern front to at least $400.00 in the last 24 hours. also off, the russian troops withdrew from the city of layman and don s. republic on saturday

. russian asked writes in the area, kill 200 key f soldiers and left 300 others injured. all in the article for regional the northern front, russian rocket strikes was said to have killed 300 troops there. so of course, one of the big stores as well this week that of the north stream pipeline system being struck by for underwater, explosions, causing shoot leaks. and the gas roots, which of course, directly spanned from russia, straight to the use largest economy, germany, vladimir putin said it was an act of sabotage, committed by western powers video in the news. little nego with magus fidelity. the anglo saxons have not had enough with their sanctions. they've moved on 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 is obvious to

everyone who benefits from it. look us dictatorship is based on brute force. right . well, some of european politicians, including that of the serbian president alex, out of a vote church. well, they've made clear how they see the matter. when i heard this, it made me sweat. i didn't know whether to cry or scream when i saw the news on what happened to nord stream. if we had not built the turkish stream gas pipeline 2 years ago, we would now be cutting off electricity for 12 hours a day. also douglas mcgregor a former high ranking american servicemen, he spoke about the pipeline damage. in a recent us media interview. there really aren't very many people out there that could do it. it was generally not the russians, so that lead to that leaves united kingdom, potentially the french perhaps the united states, frankly, the united states government has dotted admitted to it. vac united states government is making the utterly ridiculous argument that the russians dental themselves, which makes sense benefits the most by being able to sever the final physical

link between russian germany which could add in theory to the chance of a separate piece of grammar between rushing ukrainian or russian, the west, in the event that germany were to be able to collect a 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 at the top our suppliers, so america is going to be banking off of this terrorist attack. and 3rd by gabby, poland become very a crucial to the e. u. so called our security to the current that dental washing of the baltic pipe on the same day of the terrorist attacks occurred, the us and able to advance its larger strategic re orientation in european continental politics by gradually favoring poet over germany at the top partner in europe, so i think there are a lot of reasons why the us actually stand the game by what blanket and other officials are playing. 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 after the fact

. also look at the ongoing information warfare campaign against russia. i mean, the west is peddling the literal conspiracy theory that not only russia blow up, its all multi $1000000000.00 pipeline. but then you would be able to do still in nato controlled waters and get away grades. on the one hand, they want to think that 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 fronted. but on the other hand, russia able to somehow blow up its own pipelines. the nato control water, not even a, or actually like ukraine, and get away with it. i think that is completely ridiculous and that this so called investigation i is going to be aimed at covering up the actual crime, the u. s. and worldly u. k. committed and possibly even planting, fake evidence to try to implicate russia. i have no faith in the objectivity of the so called investigation. it is a 100 percent sham. well, however,

the western media were very clear and whom they deemed responsible for the destruction. it could only be moscow, according to them, use outlets accused russia of blowing up its own vital, multi $1000000000.00 infrastructure, wireless del further into the accusations. here's our correspondent, marina cassandra and ornaments sources and a so called highly likely narrative. these are tactics widely used by western lina when they need to blame moscow, but lack the evidence to currently working for cnn. once again, proved that she's an ad 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 shapes had these sources and others said, but it's one of the men of 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 about russian sobs, even if they see an old tin tan floating in the baltics. here the information that the russian navy is plying the seas and danish territorial waters appears ass good and is of course attributed to a source quote. familiar example and 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 solid, also 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 to do it. you'll find none of that and miss bird turns article adjust 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 is based on on verify the information. let's remember how eager she was to discuss the steel dorsey with anyone 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. miss steele das here, by the way, it has since been described. it's a box that doesn't matter. right? well, here's another accusation that russians are supposedly behind the so called havana

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 culprit 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 foreign power. and now ms. bird trends 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 t v 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 the others may not even insert the noun, sit into the pieces as the see it in journalist did. at the end, at least the journalist admitted that the russian ships were always there. so really short and self in the people. she 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 replicate to what british journalism to the school channel ism is really now, or the main thing, you know. and so it's really dangerous when outlet stuff of that size put out such information. it's all too common to western media 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 and more common. thousands of people have taken to the streets, so my job as capital push it out to demonstrate against the government rallies,

if repeatedly being held in the eastern european country for more than a month, protest as demanding the resignation of the president and early elections, they benign good by spiraling gas prices and widespread inflation. people have said to have taken to the streets following a coal from the leader of the opposition. sure. will. meantime, the president obama kina faso has officially resigned, follows a military overthrow of the government. the 2nd, the west african country has had to endure in just 8 months. some of the latest footage we can show you now from the capital of the country locals, they're celebrating. what they say now is a, well, hopefully the new beginning in a prosperous future. russian flags to be seen in the crowd right, bears. people have been calling for the country to step away from france and actually build stronger ties with countries like russia and china. the military coup took place on friday and was marked by explosions and shootings all around the

presidential palace in the capital. doubt that president had been heavily criticized, but failing to fulfil, and his promises mainly to deliver peace and stability. the one local journalist sent us this report from the ground. he also showed up to evade how it is renewed, kept in obese ship cold book, you know, for us to be 9 same 3 days. oh, business days. the dba dinner. i would like to inform the population that the situation is under control. ah, going through these global kilby, the physically mud of debbie, but my dog face. oh, i hate to say no to french imperialism, nor to weight us for more than 60 years. we're again, that was done by scam proven power. he said he'd come to fixing his problem. he may

not be good at the time. clock notes, you see 9 months wilkinson entered it. don't you want to be a home? me a little bit hard. yes. it's 50 percent over here, so he's out of control of service group. it's really important. so i think i've just heard right that, that the hottest group do remain one of the most pressing issues in bo keena. so the latest terror attack actually occurred on monday. the assault targeted a convoy taking supplies to a northern part of the country claimed the lives of at least 11 soldiers. is the tax have become a constant in the country in the wide a hell of region in recent years. in fact, since 2015, thousands of people have been killed and nearly 2000000 displaced from their homes in but kena fast. so i, that's a wrapping up this i was additional, the weekly on asi international. thank you for sharing a time with us on the sunday evening. we're back at the top of the hour with more

of your weekly highlights, with a sheep or a water. and many of the medical, also the li enrica syndrome daughter's. and all those who have stated that need to get more into this kind of business courses and she was having issue cream. so this thing was coming for last with a few dawn retreats, not that it suddenly was from the 11 finding ah a

awe. on february, the 24th 2022, russia launched a special military operation in ukraine. the campaigns 1st major battle was an operation to bring the city of murray. you pulled back under the control of pro russian don bass with

did i want you to with almost 3 months now. alexander had a coughs case unit made up of volunteers from dun ask has been fighting on the murray you put front of her.
