a week i with that, with that with freaking use this, our hey, on artsy, vladimir putin signed the session of 4 new territories to the russian federation. doctor locals voted in a referendum in favor of the move. these are the kind of a shell fragments that we found here. there is a city named chatsworth, california usa corresponded and finds what appears to be part of western supplied munition in a city where local se a boarding school and bus station were shelled by ukrainian forces. he met

with a new gun to his capital fees, violence clashes between police and local light to vis demanding a hole to a government bikes, oil pipeline project led by a french company with july, from our headquarters. here in moscow, you're watching the money is peter scott. and here are the top stories at 1 pm. let's go time. on the latest, on our top story, there, solid russian president vladimir putin has signed a law admitting for new territories to the russian federation. the done yes, lou guns republics, as well as the headphones or was your regions are now part of russian territory that's according to russian federal law. however, ukraine on this western allies have declared the referendums, a sham and illegitimate r t correspondence. marina caused. it brings us more on the western reaction to as

i say, not as i do, that's basically what the west this tell him. russia, they like to preach and come off as the saviors of the world slamming any country that doesn't play by its rules. so of course, it's hardly surprising that this is what moscow got in response to the referendums . russia sham referenda, if accepted, will open a pandora's box that we cannot close. no nation can redraw the borders of another by force. the shy referendums were engineered in moscow. an impulse on the crane. this land is illegal and illegitimate. he can seize his neighbors territory and get away with this simple as that. of course, he cast his russia, not american. after all, this is something only americans and their allies are allowed to do without any referendums. let's take israel, for example, will your administration,

the by the ministration continue to see the golan heights as part of israel look, leaving aside the legalities of that, of that question. as a practical matter, the, the goal on is very important to israel's security. it's very important to their friends security. so let's ignore the legalities in this case, shall we, who cares about serial, losing some land and local is having to flee. the conflict lasted over a decade and resulted in israel annexing the golan heights in 1981. but again, who cares as long as good old america is your friend, you will not get cancelled or sanctions. and if it comes to the u. s. itself does a practice what it preaches. remember hawaii, back in the 18 ninety's they gave us just came in top of the local queen and proposed the treaty of alex sation. the native hawaiians banded together rose a $600.00 page petition and within days 95 percent of the adult native hawaiian

population find opposing the move. we, the undersigned, native hawaiian citizens earnestly protest against the annexation of the said hawaiian islands to the said united states of america in any form or shape. but so less than a year later, the u. s. just single handedly alex the why anyway? almost 6 and a half 1000 square miles of territory snatched. who cares what the local people wanted? what was important was that what they knew what's wanted a convenience military base for its war with spain? we can, we will die. i see americans. oh, it says no credit, i have never been democratic with native people. it's the us way or the highway basically because they have no problem accepting changes in other countries as long as it suits them. kosovo, for example, back in 1991, there was

a referendum there and people voted to become an independent states. the referendum laid the 1st foundations of the state of customer. it sealed the desire of the country citizens to live independently and pave the way for unstoppable processes toward the revival of the state. that referendum was okay, right? but how was a difference in the will of the people in her? why apparently a lot different and it's ironic if not sad to see the president of coastal suites in something like this illegal land grab sham referendums. of course, when russia is involved, it can be anything else that us would say, but if it fits the agenda, it's only well and good, isn't it? russian secured the chief nikolai patricia told a meeting of the country's national security council. the western countries are using ukrainians as a tool against russia and that the fall regions determined the future in referendums, which he said to were fully compliance with international standards. fe dog them

that if he and them of got according to the results of the referendums, which were held in for compliance with the norms of international law. these territories became part of russia. before the started the referendums, the west said that they would not accept the results. apparently they have forgotten what a normal democratic plebiscite looks like. the united states, britain and their western satellites are trying to drag out military operations to bring it to my territory. washington and london cannot calm down out of fear of losing their head gemini, so they are trying to ignite new conflicts, including around such nuclear powers as russia and china. washington's goal is to push europe from russia into a military confrontation. ukraine is used by them as a tool against russia. they are ready to fight to the last ukranian. michaela russia is fighting not only caves, neo nazi regime, but in fact the entire nato. brock is fighting against us, providing ukraine with heavy weapons, ammunition, intelligence,

participating in the planning of military operations. black meeting us with the use of weapons of mass destruction. the activity of nato countries in the black sea region, as well as ukrainian mines, is a serious threat. ariella is maury and now for more on the latest from the ground in the russia, ukraine, conflicts air raid sirens, have been heard in the city of, nor via kehoe of k nickerson region. the local authorities are there 3 to 3 explosions were heard with 15 more reported earlier in the night. at the our big correspondent has our nasa reports from the region where local speak of how they have survived under ukrainian artillery fire. you couldn't see somebody to her because everyone has their own story during a war. irina is no exception. she survived the shelling of this building. and now she is showing us the window she had to break as she fled for her life. joyfully walking up there, she has a thought or it's the 2nd time i had to flee for my life. during a war i came from missouri by john when there was

a warren cut. alba and now i've been caught in another war for the 2nd time. it looks like it's my fate to break windows to save my life, fill up the lid again while the residents of this building were waiting for the results of the referendum on joining russia, they were shelled by ukraine's forces who are seeking to punish people for their choice to return home to russia or to crane forces hit the nearby institute with 2 missiles to say the chaotic shelling of this neighbourhood has resulted in serious damage to this 3 story home built by german prisoners of war after world war 2. welcome you t says visa says, but if i little ski sold out there, they claim the to russian soldiers, luminous buildings. what soldiers are they talking about? only families in children leave here. they shall their hall may children to night, miraculous and managed to escape jolla. one of the resident smiles while telling us he received a russian passport a day before the referendum started, but he didn't have time to settle into the building. he only managed to register

there before was shelled by ukrainian forces broke up for the south. the soda yesterday i received a russian passport, but i did not have time to settled into the building. i was only able to register before it was shelled by ukrainian forces. ukrainian forces have never stopped shelling harrison and its outskirts to me, but all their attempts to break the russian defense lines here or feudal russian troops are ready for any situation to protect their sovereignty and their territorial integrity. hassan nasir marty harrison, russia. local authorities say to he has forces also sell the city of duck, which i have in the done yet republic, using western supplied munitions, including a high mart rockets ortiz roller coaster effort reports from the ukranian nationalist for says at zach this city of birds. i could shyest very early in the morning, at least 5155 millimeter shells,

landed at this insert city bus station. thankfully, it was closed at that time. that means there are no people around here. if that, that happened a bit later, that could have been many, many victims off the phone. so would you use the people to part from this bus station heading towards daniel, or one of our ha, the schedule here is tight. a bus to parts almost every hour and they usually there are lots of people. you know, what if it had happened during the rush hour and that there would have been victims . mushy. it's horrible. dizzying as it's sent the water. these are the kind of fun shell fragments that we found a here. and i actually found at sag away from here. and clearly it's marked in english. and there's a q r code. there is a city named chatsworth, california usa. now local authorities are saying that the

city was at sack by nato made shells. this city is not that far away from the front line, at least 15 to 20 kilometers. however, this place where we are, there are absolutely no military positions. there's a boarding school right over there, the yep. with us time, a school employee and our school has also been damaged with the windows having been shattered. we arrive there early in the morning. thank god nobody suffered though we shall precisely, with no restraint. a start for the 1st time earlier, 2 buildings electrical plump was shelled. as i wanted to get a job that there are no military facilities over there. this can only mean that he crenan nationalist. continue to terrorize civilians continue to spread danny mung. the local population over the last 24 hour period,

at least 2 people were injured. boy ukrainian, shelly romano, cauthrin r t, done as people's republic that over to the neighboring zappa georgia region. now where the director general of the nuclear power plant has been deported to ukrainian health territory for allegedly to key if security forces. he then did admit sending information to ukraine in video footage that was broadcast on russian television for something with his mom. i was in touch with the security service of ukraine agent on whatsapp. i gave him information about the situation at the plant . the damage to the plant could lead to an emergency. the showing most likely came from the ukrainian side. the personnel were and still are in danger while restoring the plant. after the shelling the i. e. a confirmed the former director is now in ukrainian controlled territory. it comes as the agencies, general director, is set to visit both kia and moscow to discuss the situation at the plans. the

facility is controlled by russia and has come under repeated shelling with moscow blaming the ukrainian army for the attacks. care denies the allegations and claims its russia is targeting the plans. let's go unlist. alexander bruno says, the pun, security is russia's primary concern. the only interest the russian would have is in making sure that no one sabotage is the facility. and then to blame the russians, i think that would be my 1st concern, and i think that is the, the main russian concern. i think that the, the, the russian troops to the russian people in charge would not have allowed the detainment to proceed without some kind of a guarantee that were so that there was sufficient staff in the plant to oversee the security. russians have been very careful to avoid any accidents and

they would not have taken this action without some kind of safety considerations. and so if they did so, that means the plant was left in secure. half of the news. poland has been negotiating with washington on whether it could join it needs those nuclear sharing program. that's according to the polish presidents. you says it's an open issue. the 1st problem is that we do not have nuclear weapons. there is no indication that poland will get them in the near future, but there is always a potential to participate in the nato nuclear sharing program. we have spoken to the u. s. leadership and whether they are considering this possibility. it's an open issue. nuclear sharing program enables both of those nato states without atomic weapons to participate in planning their usage by the block. it also allows those states to apply for storing a portion of the blocks nuclear arsenal on their own territories. so far,

the u. s. is the only nuclear power in the alliance that's relocated some of its atomic weapons in of that member states named in belgium, germany, italy, and the netherlands as well as turkey. meanwhile, there's been increasing alarm in western media over supposed nuclear weapons threat i was by russia with reports claiming that moscow is preparing some sorts of nuclear readiness test, a miss the call amid the conflicts and ukraine. some say it's the most dangerous stunned off since the $962.00 cuban missile crisis, when many fed and nuclear war consensus in washington is that we are closer to the use of nuclear weapons than at any time since the cuban missile crisis. 60 years ago, and over wide, over who governs and rules, not even ukraine, but the don bass. for the past few weeks. there had been a number of warnings coming from the us, including from the current and former directors of the cia who both accused moscow

of a reckless rhetoric when it comes to the use of nuclear arms. but also claiming that nato would respond accordingly. us national security advisor james sullivan warned that russia would faced catastrophic consequences. meanwhile, the criminal spokesman said earlier that russia wouldn't take any part in the current nuclear rhetoric been pushed by western countries. while president putin accused the states of nuclear blackmail adding, he wasn't bluffing about a possible nuclear response if russian territory, including the newly incorporated regions, is threatened earlier. my colleague, roy, sushi discussed the west narrative over the nuclear threat with a panel of guest. this is part of a campaign to propaganda campaign, to smear russia, all of these experts in the western governments which are fueling ukraine with finance, with, with weapons which all of this is since 2014, not since the beginning of the year since 2014 knew that russia was a nuclear power. they knew that if they were going to start

a war ended on best next to a nuclear power, there would be risks one day that we can a wake up this nuclear power, which is russia. i think this is again, part of the western scare mongering campaign where everything coming out of russia has to be, despair has to be threat tests to be scary, to some extent. how relevant michael, other comparisons right now, being made to that, of the cuban missile crisis of $962.00 when it comes to the, the current tension around ukraine. i mean, are they real grounds for fear or is it just part of the record? no i, it's clear to me that this is hyped up rhetoric. it's looking for ways to incite more support around the ukraine. and, and i think that trying to have scare tactics of this nature with nuclear weapons coming emanating from the west and not from and not from russia. i think moscow strategy is, is not going to be trying to launch

a tactical nuclear weapons. there's no need, i think what the, what russia will do is hold the areas that it has that and, and in fact, that have voted to join the federation and maintain them. we've certainly be hearing from, from the white house. they've been saying that there's been all sorts of back channel messages going between the white house and the credit in the white house warning the kremlin, you must not use nukes, and there will be di, catastrophic consequences from washington. if you do a kind well over to you that the russian president has earlier stressed that russia would use all means available if was any threat to its territory. so any talk of nuclear arms use, it essentially is in the terms of defense at this point. but the west apparently is not convinced by russia has this nuclear doctrine, which we know what other us, what us france, sauce china. so does it cost you nothing new? i think when president said he's not bluffing for president biden felt that it was

imperative on the spot to use equally strong anchorage. and therefore, he won a catastrophic consequences about this is a negatively, russia is not going to use. and i said russia or ms innovative. it's fun. some nuclear file, all with autism meeting in any effort that you all one pole stock, one star who it is united states and walked out of the in p d. i. and that would be open skies and russia always fear that the united states was developing a post like ability. russia has not attacked any united states or any of the country. that is that the military operation looking. but how are you grand in the defense? it was a guy doesn't make any sense with the c, i director the u. s. defense secretary, they, they actually admitted there's no evidence of an imminent nuclear threat from

moscow to ukraine. but what we're noticing is, is that the news articles, the press agencies, they don't report that they report fear, fear a nuclear again. why is that the case? for several reasons? first of all, this is the way the u. s. is always a waged, it's war is they always have to have a book command. they always have to have an existential threat. they always have to have something which is going to destroy the earth or destroy the order. this is a weapon of mass distraction. we're, we're making people in the west believe that in russia there is some sort of crazy tire, wants to eat up ukraine and destroy the rest of the world. if this were to say not, it's not really true. then his job with this is extremely important that real jonas, do the job be courageous enough. go out there and spread the truth because at the end we just want peace. and that's another story we're across. it's

a day violence flushes between protestors and police have erupted in ugandan capital, have come paula. that says dozens gather to demonstrate against the development of new pipeline and oil projects in the country. construction of the east african crude oil pipeline has been led by french companies total energy, along with the china national, offshore oil corporation and national petroleum firms of uganda and sons. and ear. people gathered in front of the office in the capital, delivering a petition opposing construction of the pipeline and accusing ugandan government of seizing land belonging to locals, which they say were displaced at tens of thousands of people. at least 9 demonstrators were detained by police. according to reports, and here's some footage from the c a with

the companies that are constructing boyd pipelines. they did not issue whether you got into that are going to be affected by that pipeline. we are here today, but just to petition haven't sick and we have been blocked by your grand up. what is the account that with the european parliament says that the construction of the pipeline does violate human rights and is passed to resolution calling for it to be late to be delayed by a year to consider alternative routes. but the ugandan minister of energy opposes the position, arguing that the projects can address poverty, another social issues, branding the resolution and active neil colonialism and imperialism against uganda . the rival of a fact finding mission of west african envoys to bikini fossil has spot fiery

processed in its capital with people pouring to the streets to voice their frustration with a block. as well as former colonial power france that's following the 2nd crew in the african state in just 10 months. eco was delegation scheduled the visit as 3 of its 15 members states have seen cruise in the last 2 years alone. the officials intend to propose a time table for restoring civilian rule, threatening those who oppose this approach with sanctions. one of the main concerns voiced by people of the king of faso is the delegations, a legit support of french interests which they do strongly oppose. the kid of fossil residents came out to process against union lapointe benefit of us. if y'all were here to send strong messages to call us that they should know that actually any decision they will be making here in walker should include the population's will. we are, matt, we're tired of this head of states union, the corrupted union of presidents, slaves of western countries, who do not care about their people for whom they are acting again in a country,

we do not agree with echo us or message to echo was that they should help us fight terrorism. what does echo us do to help my appeal to the new authorities as to stay strong and unified? slowly, a group of soldiers ousted precedents, poland, read, amoeba and dissolved his military government, saying that it was incapable of restoring security in the country. one of the reasons for the uprising is said to be the wide spread disdain of the country's cooperation with france. security analyst, moon gum new booth, says that the people of burkina faso don't want to be taken to by france. the king of prussia, resident protested against the arrival of the eco us delegation, who also wanted to tell the co us that if you come here, you need to let the people of the country decide for themselves and not follow french policy. that's what's happening now. everything will depend on the decision of a co us. it seems to people that the french are behind many events and that they are

playing dishonesty. this is not exactly an anti french feeling, but rather of feeding directed against the french policy. the policy of its leadership, people believe that they have a large contingent of the balcony mission in the south. hell, where the attached to taking place. that whole people have a feeling that the french or accomplices, people have pro russian feelings because they look at molly and they think that russia has given a lot of support, the malins, especially in terms of weapons intelligence, which the mullins have been able to reduce, not to store, but to reduce the number of attacks from wanting became a fatty things are very different people. this is why people began to think that russia could also be a partner and help the people of burkina faso. quite often. that's how the world is looking at 130 in the afternoon. moscow tie, my name's peter scott's. i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories in just over half an hour's time. i'll see you then. thank you. mm hm. with

ah ah, yes. motion of your money. i mean you flee a little boy, boy, if you'll be with my listen, look and you live muscles. if you look on the initial be, well if club masika had dealer post on zillow, while diaz can use the but by the one you do the origin by y'all as to which the

done a similar to like want to put that on the believe just to submit you, would you what i see the student bussey's dog. ruth you motivation says diesel tutorial, gumbo sub ah, nice to come to russian state. little never. i've side as i'm phoning. awesome steve, asking him and i can pull that up for a group in assistant beveled with me. okay, so mine is group i'm speaking with will van in the european union? the kremlin? ca yep. machine. the state aren't russia for date and r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest,

and with me ah, ah, i, i hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. nato faces a dilemma member countries are divided on how to proceed regarding ukraine. 9 countries want membership or ukraine immediately 21 member countries disagree. then there is the issue of what exactly ukraine is today. is nato willing to liberate the regions

that are joining russia? ah, i cross sucking nato's dilemma. i'm joined by my guest, jo, laurie in washington. he's the editor in chief of consortium news dot com in new york. we have margaret kimberly. she is executive editor of black agenda report and in lake jackson, we have daniel mcadams. he's the executive director of the ron ho, paul institute for peace and prosperity. right? crossing roles and effect votes. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, daniel, let me go to you 1st in lake jackson with the of, if you agree or disagree of the 4 regions of ukraine or are about to officially be brought into the russian federation. now considering that nato is at war with russia, but it was a, with the session of these regions. the script has been flipped, so they're not defending ukraine's borders. they're trying to change rushes now.

and then i want to talk about all of this very dangerous hawk about nuclear weapons . go ahead, daniel. yeah, i think what we're putting, practicing here is, is maneuver warfare. and obviously there are plenty of people who think there, i'm put and said, i don't, i don't, nobody's thinking i can only observe what i've seen. but it seems to me as if the reason this was supposed to military operation, the beginning is that president putin did not realize that this would be a nato versus russia war as you correctly point out in your introduction, peter. so he's been able to scale up his response to nato's increasing involvement . the introduction of heavy weaponry, the introduction of direct targeting by nato. and i think that forced him to go to the next level, which is to agree to something that he had disagreed with 1st quite some time. remember these republic certainly some of them the best wanted to join russia back in 2014 and put and was not interested in doing it that time it's forced him. i would say it's lead him.
