yes, you start with a girl who's with buddy, may bruton signs the session of for new territories to the russian federation. that stuff locals both in a referendum in favor of these are the kind of a shell fragments that we found here. there is a city named shaft worth california usa, our correspondent finds what appears to be thought of the western supplied munition in a city where local authorities, the boarding school under bus station were shelved by ukrainian forces, a

capital the violent clutches between police and local lights demanding a halt, a government by all pipeline project led by a french company ah, from moscow to the world. this is our international. my name is peter scott, and he's the top stories this hour. and we start with the latest on our top story now, which is russian president vladimir putin has signed a law admitting for new territories to the russian federation. the danielle and lou guns republics, as well as the house on another project, 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 archie correspondence moon. acosta ever brings us more on that western reaction. so as i say not as i do,

that's basically what the wes 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 shock referendums were engineered in moscow on the post on the crane. this longer 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 locals having fleet. 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, the us just came in top of the local queen and proposed that fruits of annexation the native hawaiians banded together, wrote a $600.00 page petition and within days, 95 percent of the adults native hawaii 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 to 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 was wanted a convenience military base for its war with spain. we are not on there can, we will die. why? and we want to be american, i'm always says products. i said it's been a product with people in the us way or the highway basically because they have no problem accepting changes in other countries as long as it suits them. cost civil for example, i can 1991. there was a referendum there, and people voted to become an independent states. the referendum laid the 1st

foundations of the state of casa. it sealed the desire of the country citizens to live independently and paved the way for unstoppable processes toward the revival of the state. that referendum was okay, right? but how was the difference of the will of the people in her white apparently a lot different. and it's ironic if not sad to see the presence of coastal suites and something like this illegal land grab sham referendums. of course, where 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? a russian security chief nikolai potter shift thought a meeting of the countries national security council. the western countries are using ukrainians as a tool against russia. the 4 regions determined the future in referendums, which and what he said were fully compliant with international standards. they dog am lithium of cats according to the results of the referendums,

which were held in full 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 our 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 with him. 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 calves 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 as warri by 2. and now for more of the latest, on the ground in the russia, ukraine, conflicts air raid sirens, have been heard in the city of norway kafka in the keta san regions local authorities. there 3 to 3 explosions were heard with 15 more reported earlier in the night. at the, our big correspondent has another report from the region where local speak of how they have survived under ukrainian artillery fire. you couldn't facility everyone has their own story during a war. irina's no exception is she survived the shelling of this building. and now she's showing us the window she had to break as she fled for her life. looking up at her, she has a thought or as 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. for look, the litigant of all 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. korean forces hit the nearby institute with 2 missiles. the chaotic showing of this neighbourhood has resulted in serious damage to this 3 story home built by german prisoners of war after world war 2. says visa says, but if i little skis so that they claim that russian soldier through the most buildings, what soldiers are they talking about and only families in children leave here. they shall dare hold my children to night miraculous and manage 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 shall by ukrainian forces. talk of product itself. 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, 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. the local authorities say that its forces also shell. the city of duck, which i ask in the done yet, is republic use in western supplied munitions, including high mas rockets, forties, roman quarter of reports from the scene ukrainian nationalist forces attack, the 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 were no people around here. if that, that happened a bit later, that could have been many, many victims walk the something new. do you people to part from the space station heading towards danielle, or one of our ha, the schedule here is tight. a bus to parts almost every hour and usually there are lots of people. what if it had happened during the rush hour? there would have been victims slushy. it's horrible dizzying as it's sent the water . these are the kind of a shell fragments that we found here. and i actually found it 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 this 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 europe with us. i am 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. if not for the 1st time earlier, 2 buildings and an electrical with shells that says i wanted to get a job that there are no military facilities over there. most of this can only mean that he crenan nationalist. continue to terrorize civilians continue to spread panic among 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. no. with the neighboring zappa rosier region. now where the director general of the nuclear power plant there has been reported c ukrainian held tertiary for allegedly to key of security services. he then admitted sending information to ukraine in video footage that was broadcast on russian television. possibly megan has moved. 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 shelling most likely came from the ukrainian side. the personnel were and still are in danger while restoring the plant after the showing the i. e. a confirmed the former director is now in ukrainian controlled territory. it comes as the agencies, director, general director, is sets of visits, both key of 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. here denies the allegations unclaimed its russia that's targeting the plants, political unlist. alessandra 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 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. hm. now the news, poland has been negotiating with washington on whether it could join nato's nuclear sharing program. that's according to the polish president. you says it's an open issue. the 1st problem is that we do not have nuclear weapons. there is no indication to pull and we'll 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 on whether they are considering this possibility. it's an open issue. the nuclear sharing program enables those nato states without atomic weapons to participate in planning the 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. so the member states, namely belgium, germany, italy, the netherlands, and turkey. for me, while there has been increasing alarm in western media over supposed nuclear weapons threat posed by russia with reports claiming that moscow is preparing some sorts of nuclear readiness test amid the conflicts and ukraine. and some say is the most dangerous to stand off since the $962.00 cuban missile crisis, where 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. in recent weeks, there have been a number of warnings coming from the us, including from the current on former directors of the cia who both accused moscow of reckless rhetoric when it comes to the use of nuclear arms, while claiming that nato would respond accordingly. us national security advisor

james sullivan warned that russia would face catastrophic consequences. meanwhile, the criminal spokesman said that earlier 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 threats the paul of guests. this is part of a campaign, so propaganda campaigns to smear russia. all of these experts in the western governments which are fueling ukraine with finance, with, with weapons, with all of this is since 2014 and 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 wake up this nuclear power, which is russia. i think this is again, part of the western scare mongering campaign and 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 1962 when it comes to the, the current tension around ukraine. i mean, are there real grounds for fear, or is it just part of the rhetoric? no i, it's clear to me that this is hyped of rhetoric. it's looking for ways to incite a 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 in fact, that have voted to join the federation and maintain them. we've certainly been 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 in the kremlin, the white house warning, the cabinet, you must not use nukes, and there will be di, catastrophic consequences from washington. if you do a kind of well over to you, that the russian president has earliest stress 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 or does problems but us, china. so does india, sorta you gave nothing new? i think when president, who said he's not bluffing for president bygone felt that it was

a competitive on the spot to use equally strong anchorage. and therefore, he won a consequences about this is just maybe not, not going to use them. as i said, rush, i have always innovative, responsible nuclear, always participating in any effort to disarm clause one full stop. one stop who is united states and walk out of the b and p d. i. and that would be open skies and russia always fear that the united states was developing a plus b. russia has not attacked any united states on any european country. that is a military operation looking at how are you in the defensive war or you could have been and america doesn't make any sense to be the c. i director the u. s. defense secretary, they, they've actually admitted there's no evidence of an imminent nuclear threat from

moscow to ukraine. but, 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 bogeyman. 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 tyrant wants to eat up to create and destroy the rest of the world. if julius were to say, you know, there's not really true then his job, marissa, this is extremely important that real john is do the job be courageous enough. go out there and spread the truth because at the end we just want peace. in northern use of violence, clashes between protesters and police have erupted in uganda and capitol,

of kampala as dozens gather to demonstrate against the development of new pipeline and oil projects. in the country, construction of the east african crude oil pipeline is being led by french companies total energies. along with the china national, offshore oil corporation and national petroleum firms of uganda and sons. and near people gathered in front of the u. office in the capitol delivering a petition opposing construction of the pipeline and accusing ugandan government of seizing land belonging to locals, which they say would displace a tens of thousands of people. at least 9 demonstrators were detained by police, according to reports and handsome footage from the scene i with through the companies that are

constructing oil pipeline, they did not issue either. you got them that are going to be affected by that pipeline. we are here to deliver just to petition haven't sick and we have been blocked by your gun up. what is he attempted a the european parliament says that construction of the pipeline violates human rights and pasta resolution calling for it to be delayed by a year to consider alternative routes. but the ugandan economy minister opposes the u position and arguing that the projects can address poverty under the social issues, branding the resolution and acts of neil colonialism and imperialism against uganda . the arrival of a fact finding mission of a west african envoys to begin or fast. so her spot fiery process in the capital there with people pouring into the streets to voice their frustration with the block. as well as

a former colonial power france that following the 2nd crew in the african state in just 10 months. the delegation from the economic community of west african states scheduled the visits as 3 of its 50 member states, hudson cruz in the last 2 years alone. the officials intend to propose a time table for restoring civilian rule, threatening those who opposed that approach with sanction. are the main concerns voiced by the people of bertino faso is the delegations and legit supports of french interests which they strongly oppose. begin a faster residence. came out to protest against the union's visit to similar plan benefit. and i said, oh, we're here to send strong messages to acknowledge that they should know that actually any decision they will be making here in yoga 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 appropriate the golden rule. 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 in unit with the lawyer, a group of soldiers ousted president, pollen re dominga and dissolved his military government and said that it was incapable of restoring security in the country. one of the reasons for the uprising is said to be widespread disdain for the country's corporation with france, security analyst, moon gum newbert says that the people are picking a fast, so don't wants would it say to to by france? akina foster residents protested against the arrival of the co 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 feeding, but rather of feeding directed against the french policy. the policy of its leadership, people believe that they have a knowledge contingent of the balcony mission in the saw 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 i think that russia has given a lot of support to the moderns, especially in terms of weapons intelligence, which the margins have been able to reduce, not to store, but to reduce the number of attacks wanting became a facet, things are very different. this is why people began to think that russia could also be a partner and help the people who became a facet of this quite those, the main stories. this our to head over to r t dot com or our social media pages. for more. i'm p to scott on the back again in around 30 minutes time. ah,

ah ah, mm. for plato faces a dilemma member countries are divided on how to proceed regarding ukraine. 9 countries want membership for you. great. 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
