u. n . u. s. and e. you have called for a de escalation and russian president vladimir putin has appealed for, come at, the armenian government is warning the cautious could escalate into war if the international community doesn't pay more attention. armenian villages caught in the crossfire so they were terrified by the attacks on this. i'm sure he came out and saw that it was no longer possible to stay in the houses. that serious shilling was taking place. first, the military unit was bombed. we were very scared, we ran away from the houses to avoid being trapped under the rubble and hidden near this big wall. the neighbors also gathered and hid their funerals have been held in as i by john for some of its soldiers. the worst violent since the war 2 years ago in the disputed nicole car about the region which killed 6 and a half 1000 people. a fully fledged conflict would risk dragging in russia and turkey. andy stabilized an important corridor for pipelines, carrying oil and gas, as well as john made significant gains in and around the going to car back in 20. 20, thanks to weapons supplied by turkey. turkish president, rich up to a bad one has blamed armenia for the recent bond. tell us on our coming days, attitude will of course have consequences for armenia, which not only does not fulfil the terms in the agreement that was signed after the war of now got to know cut back, but also constantly displays an aggressive attitude. we hope that tom mania returns from this wrong path as soon as possible, fulfills the requirements of the agreement and uses its time and energy to strengthen piece. i sent kara tian as the founder and edgen chief of alec media is also former adviser to farmers technical fashion and he joins us via skype from washington. so tell us where you think this is heading next. i mean, is it more than a 150 soldiers killed or do you see this? as said, the arminian government, a sang, could escalate into war if international community doesn't pay attention? i would actually thank you for having me. i would actually already call it a war, but it's a war that has been triggered by us there by john. this is an intrusion on arminius sovereign territory. this needs to be very clear in case of not garner garner, but it was a different story right now. what we're witnessing is, as are by johnny, fully full attack on arminius eastern borders, shelling of civilian infrastructure. it's not just the military infrastructure that is being targeted, but it's actually the are the civilian area. so as you were also reporting, you see that her, we have villages which are actually getting empty because of this attack. so nobody actually can say how long does can last as you mentioned, i mean, as appealed to russia, armenia of his appeal to the c. s t, all dirt collective treaty organization, as well as the un security council. none of the calls seemed to work on olive ah, but and so back who is continuously foreseeing, a new war, waging a new war. and this is, this has to do clearly. we'd also the situation, the geo politics, the geopolitical situation, the war ukraine saw azerbaijan is using this time to basically gain more, but growing and breaking all international laws and entering gardenia solver, and proper territory. well, as i by john has said that to actually it was, i mean it started the conflict by shelling military targets in its own district of cal barker. there's are unit to taking the necessary response measures was what the, as a version defense ministry said this has been a fake narrative that they have been developing in the last 10 days. this has been the case before as well. they were trying to create a contract as if armenia is planning to attack us by john. first of all, army has no interest in that attack. armenia has been openly talking about going for a peace treaty there. in fact, if you are luke, just about 2 weeks ago, the, to press the leaders of the countries pushing on an ally of met in brussels. where they agreed to actually start negotiating about a peace treaty, which was supposed to have a draft coming by december, up just 2 weeks after dad. again, taking into account the situation on the ground. the general security architecture of the region as or by john is choosing to go militarily. and unfortunately, it seems like no major capital is so far able to prevent this from happening. bead washington, brussels or moscow. so you mentioned washington versus muska there. what i mean, who do you think? who else do you think can bring this 2 sides together and, and get some kind of peace treaty sign while i'm in the international community has to act. i think there is, or there seemed to be enough of interest and attention on this conflict coming from brussels. you have the oil see means group co chairman ship, which used to be watch, which was the negotiating format for now going or carrabas. so paris may do, i have to do, sir in, it can have a positive ah, impact on these 2. but one thing that needs to be dirt said is that the model as there by john, is behaving by invading a neighbor forcing to sign a humiliating agreement. foreign lens are asking, forging, or asking for lent concessions is what the u. s. and you promised to stop in ukraine just because army is not able to resist and cannot get aid. it doesn't mean that this is okay. so other by johnny behavior is very much like like what we're saying, what we're seeing in ukraine. and i think that it's more than time for, for the western capitals to actually start even talking about possible sanctions on buckle if this behavior continues as an cartoon. thank you very much for your view on saturday. thank you. thank you. ah sweden's prime minister has announced she will resign handing the 4 party right wing and far right opposition block. the 1st go at forming a government with 99 percent of the vote counted my delena. anderson's center left alliance has secured a 173 seats in parliament. a social democrat party is the country's largest with around 30 percent of the vote. but the moderates, sweden, democrats, christian democrats, and liberals, projected to win $176.00 seats. in the 349 c parliament, sweden democrats were formed fro

u. n. u. s. and the you have called for an immediate de escalation of fighting between armenian azerbaijan. 49 armenian troops and 50 azerbaijani soldiers were killed in fighting monday night. who president vladimir lensky, says ukraine has taken back full control of more than 4000 square kilometers of territory previously occupied by russia. his forces had been driving the russians back in a rapid counter offensive in the ne, ukrainian officials say they've recaptured more than 300 settlements in the khaki region. in the past week. keepers cooling on the west to speed up weapon deliveries to back. it's ongoing advance there ukrainian flags of flying in the cities of resume and co pianist both located on well where lines that serve our supply routes for russian troops. ukraine says it's also made gains in the south nic hassan, but at a slower pace. in while russian military vehicles have been left abandoned all to ukraine's counter offensive the northeast and call cave region. around a 150000 people were caught in the middle of fighting in by law clear a crucial military supply hub, re taken by ukrainian forces last week. moscow has acknowledged its recent territorial losses admitting that its forces have been outnumbered. let's get more on this with stephen. nick sees regional director for erasure at the international republican. is she a choices from washington dc? thank you for your time, sir. i think it's fair to say that for some time now ukrainians and russians have been pussy neck to neck in this wall. but now it does appear that the tide is turning with ukraine gating the upper hand. what exactly has changed? well i certainly think that we have to accord a general zalinski good. the credit due this has been a brilliantly navarra on his part and ukrainian our forces and you've seen the battlefield success so. so his team and the landscapes team deserve a lot of credit for the vast advances, but also doing it in a way that keeps ukrainian casualties as low as possible. how much is this got to do with the, the quantity, if aid and the quantity of military weapons that the u. s. is providing well, i think it's been decisive for the high mars the long range artillery, the rockets, they've all played a huge role in surgery, russian supply lines and, and advancing of the credit armed forces. so yes, the equipment has been decisive, but ukraine needs more and if they want to press on the offensive, so that's the critical need now. so the allies in europe, the united states, have to move quickly to rearm ukraine to prepare them to renew their offensive. a so assuming they get what they need, can ukraine maintain these gains? well i think they can, they've shown they've shown the. busy world how to fight russians, and they are winning decisively. and this is not just a battlefield when you're seen growing discontent in russia. a yesterday, a group of local elected officials, wrote the duma asking the russian parliament to impeach president poon. then a group of deputies wrote directly to the president asking him to step aside in a climate of fear and repression

this point, only he knows where that imaginary border lies. the border agency from tax says nearly 66000 russians have flooded into the european union over the past week, as man leave to avoid being called up to fight in ukraine. latvia has declared a state of emergency as its frontier comes under pressure and outside the european union, kazakhstan and georgia are reporting tens of thousands of

this is how he crossed the border into georgia bushes, but i cannot support what is happening in russia now. i am against putin's policies . i am against this war, but i think it makes absolutely no sense. i was actually supposed to go to japan for a permanent residency in 6 months. but i decided that if everything closes down, there won't be any japan. when you have any wood, nikki says originate from moscow. he worked for an energy company which closed down because of the war he's had figured out how to deal with this situation and have started to organize traffic. and what is interesting is people are also organizing themselves, so marketing is always, george is on his way from crowds, nadar to visit relatives in georgia. he tells d w, the border guards don't let every one through, rose. he took my passport and checked to see if i was being drafted. that was it. those who are being mobilized, they just turned them around, just like that. there have been cases like this. the george and interior ministry has already announced. it does not intend to close the border with russia. the russian federal security service has already deployed military personnel and an arm and personal carrier to the frontier to stop russians fleeing their mobilization orders. let's take a look now at some of the other news from around the world. saudi crown prince, muhammad been sell, man,

for ukraine. but international condemnation hasn't stopped moscow's ambitions and ukraine. vladimir putin has even threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend territory. he claims as part of russia at this point, only he knows where that imaginary border lies. i spoke to alexander hook, the former principal deputy chief monitor of the o s e special monitoring mission to ukraine. i asked where the claims of a landslide victory for russia in the so called referendums, reflects the will of the people who live there. what happened in the last few days in these regions of ukraine is over of fiction and a very obscene fiction that these, in which viewers are invited to suppose that victims of atrocities committed by the russian forces might slide if the perpetrators of them. i do believe that the strip for what happened and what will happen has been bricked in a long time ago last year said before what happened in 2014 was probably the precursor of what we know my seem to be unfold in these 4 areas. will make up 50 percent of the ukranian territory. so we'll ukrainians from these annex regions now be conscripted to fight against their own countrymen. russia certainly will make sure that those area studies will come see the restaurant of each of course, does not correspond with ukrainian law. and international law will serve their own purposes and they will seek any manpower they can find to defend these areas as they have already indicated they would do. i would, however, also suggest that any ukrainian living in russia occupy the areas that may have put across and these paper has done so to survive. not to support these ambitious claims by russia. what happens now that these regions are part of russia according to moscow? if you cranium forces do attack, i cannot read the heads of the plans of what credit the criminal might do. ukraine has all the right to defend its territory that the remain it's territory after these illegal actions that russia took. as i mentioned before, international law and ukrainian law clearly states that will happen is illegal. russia may use, however, this as a pretext to up its defense and will claim that the areas are russian territory and therefore it can escalate the conflict further. legally, it doesn't change anything, these areas are and remain ukrainian territory. alexander who in the hey, thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. the european union chief says sabotage is responsible for leaks on the north stream pipelines that are sending plumes of gas into the baltic. sea scientists recorded under c

that suggested actual damage to the on the c pipes. some european leaders say that damage was no accident. the order sounds good. we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case, a sabotage. the ausa told anthro ago met sabotaged it, still not clear what caused the problems on the pipeline pulse of which were constructed just a few years ago. but sweden has launched a preliminary probe to find out if the system was intentionally attacked. if it is confirmed, that's clearly in owen's interest. um, now my understanding is the lease will not have a significant impact on years. energy resilience. and what's critical is that we are working day and day out both

suggested foul play. she just knew jeff scooted near them. no option can be ruled out right now. it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline, so we can't exclude any version of events regarding

likely remain connected to the grid and the 1st quarter of 2023. that's live in baton. one reason for this is that french react as a facing problems is europe scrambles to final turnitin to russian fossil fuels. a number of react route ages have driven nuclear energy output in friends to a 3rd year low injection. the development in france in the last few weeks has been significantly worse and actually predicted. and in this respect, it is the scenario they would have to reckon with at the moment. the suggestion that 2 out of the 3 active german new co plans could remain connected to the

ukraine. but international condemnation hasn't stopped moscow's ambitions and ukraine. vladimir putin has even threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend territory. he claims as part of russia. at this point, only he knows where that imaginary border lies. our correspondent nick connelly joins us now from the ukrainian capital key of nick if russia annex is the occupied regions of ukraine as expected. what impact could that have on the people living there could residence be forced to fight for russia, for example, was entirely that is definitely the fear among many ukrainians living under russian occupation that they will not be asked, that they will simply be put in front of a confed to complete it, they are now russian citizens in if they haven't gone to look for a russian passport themselves. haven't done anything to get that passport and that they will be sent off to fight. we're definitely seeing that the tactic from the russian government seems to be, to focus on our places further away from the big russian cities from moscow and st . petersburg places where they think if the locals are unhappy about guns fight, they'll be less in the way a blow back for the government. and we're definitely seeing lots people trying to get out. although there are now reports that it's basically impossible to leave the capstone region, definitely for ukrainian hill territory, but even through other routes through occupied crimea. that is now very, very difficult to lots people there. now trying to make some kind of plan sit it out, may be moved to their country houses or places where the authorities don't have any information about their whereabouts and how they can just let this pass. and by so huge implications of this move for the people living there. how might annexation affect the course of the war? neck would care be less likely to try to reclaim territories. russia has declared its own i think there's no sign of that. and they've already said that this is basically a piece of political fear to with any, without any legal or credibility. but we have seen repeated threats from top brush and fl officials, including former president to meet him at video was basically pretty openly saying that russia would use nuclear weapons to defend itself. and by itself, he means areas such as that. but he just had a song that looks at bionics by russia imminently, i don't know quite yet how serious that threats being taken. we've certainly heard from american intelligence sources saying that they're not seeing the russians activating their nuclear forces. but it's obviously a very dangerous signal and a raising of the stakes em. i think the important thing for the grain side is that they are still getting large amounts weapons for america and america to make clear that ukraine is able to use those high tech systems anywhere on its territory and by its territory of c that includes donya la hunter, harrison as a parisha and to occupy crimea, tells more about what's happening now on the battlefield and ukraine. nick, i understand there is a major pushed by ukrainian forces to capture another city. well we've just been getting news from near steve lemon, which is in the can northern wests north west part of the dumbass region. not very far away from a 7000 yet. the city that was in the center of attention in the summer when russia took that city at the cost of thousands of not tens of thousands of lives and a lot of tech and a sense that ukraine's are trying to surround the russian forces and come at them from 2 sides creating a kind of situation where they either have to kind of give up or, and be taken prisoner or evacuate. but again, if it is all very inexact science, we've seen the analysts being proven wrong time and time again. all over the summer we were talking about had san on the south and account friends there and then we saw it happening in a totally different part of the country. nick had give the news from the front lines gets to us couple of days late. so although we're expecting some news there in a sense the cranes are trying to make use of their advantage before those newly mobilized russian soldiers arrive at the front lines. i think it's bit early yet to be too confident about predictions. nick, thank you very much. as always, our correspondent nick connelly, they're in kia european union leaders say sabotage is responsible for leaks on the nord stream pipelines that are sending plumes of gas into the baltic sea scientists recorded under c explosions, round the lines connecting russia to germany. there are no claims of responsibility . poland says leaks marked an escalation in the war on ukraine. but a kremlin spokesman said it would be the quote, stupid and absurd to blame russia for the attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea after what the e used top diplomat, joseph bray says, is a likely act of sabotage. b 2 at nord stream pipelines linked russia and germany, 3 red dots, mac, the places where the leaks were detected. even though the pipelines are not currently delivering rushing gas to europe. they're still full of fuel. up to 100000000 cubic meters of gas is spewing from the pipelines every hour. with no way of closing them. the links could continue until the pipes are empty. european lee to say they're fairly certain about the calls of the leaks. oh, that sounds good. we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case of sabotage, the also to landfill, a gall met sabotage. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just knew jay's creature near them. no option can be ruled out right now. it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline. so we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reasons for this union before the results of the official investigation is clear. during these creatures, which croaker to renew the e. u has vowed retaliation for any attack on the energy network. the leaks are expected to last, for at least in the week. and only then can investigations begin. and join our by our brussels bureau chief, alexandra for norman alexandra. tell us more about how the european union is responding at this point. well, we've seen um some very strong statements issued for instance, by e foreign policy. she feels that burrell who said that the european union was very deeply concern. of course, it doesn't come as a surprise when you consider that the leaks and gas prices up again in europe was enough underlying the european commission president asserted that any deliberate disruption of further european energy infrastructure would be mad with that the strongest possible response. however, we have to say that there is not much the european union could do, they could impose it put economic sanctions. but of course for that they would need to know exactly who was behind those leagues. but i think it's

u. n. u. s. president joe biden condemned russia's decision to call of reservists to fight in ukraine. russian president vladimir putin called for the mobilization of more troops and announced his support for referendums in ukrainian territories under russian control. gabriel elizondo has more from keith with battlefield losses mountie and a ukrainian counter offensive advancing. russian president vladimir putin says now was the time to mobilize more troops, yet as a she the national oregon to protect her motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. to ensure the security of our nation and people in the liberated areas, i consider it necessary to call for a partial mobilization in russia. zebra, the defense minister says as many as $300000.00 russian reservists will report for duty immediately, but more could be called up if necessary. gordon also confirmed that he would push a head with a referendum in 4 regions of ukraine, including the don bass. the referendum will ask one question, do you want to join the russian federation? that referendum, often a precursor to full annexation of territory, could happen as early as this week. he might go. president blood amused lensky urged allies to focus on what is important for ukraine. the drum kit is racial greekmore, support for the armed forces for intelligent services. for the special operations and security service for the national guard police and the border guards for everyone who's gradually restoring a territorial integrity. western allies have said they will not recognize a russian lead referendum or annexation of ukrainian territories. calling it illegal. some analysts call a referendum, a pre determined sham, and a desperate ploy by potent there is no free media to talk. and to talk her about the issue. there is no inflection observe as there is no fair counting, et cetera, et cetera. and even without talking about all illegality of the theme, because it's and on the relation of ukrainian and international. but in his speech pu, left little doubt, he is ready to escalate this war, warriors, civilian russia has a variety of weapons of destruction. did he some more modern, those and nato countries as i shoot there? and if our territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a love. it's unclear of moving more troops to the front lines and annexing ukrainian territory will be enough to turn the tide in an operation that hasn't gone according to prudence plan. what is clear is this war is changing the land and potentially entering a new, even more dangerous phase. gabriel, as ando al jazeera keith and ukraine, says 215 prisoners of war have been released by russia. in return the oligarchy, leader of a band pro russia party victim adventure plus $54.00 russian prisoners, were freed by keen. that exchange was negotiated by turkey. in addition to foreigners who fought alongside, ukrainian forces were freed by russia and sent to saudi arabia in an agreement that was mediated by re add ukrainian president vladimir. the lensky spoke to his release prisoners by video mc dias for landominium. congratulations in your return . our guys, our heroes, it's good to see everyone. it's nice. after all the time we've been on the phone, we're proud of you. what you've done for our nation proud of each and every one of you. and i'm very glad that the team got you out of russia. i'm glad we made the 1st step you are safe in turkey at the 2nd step is of course to get you homes. and earlier i spoke to dave, there rush, a senior fellow at the gulf international forum. he explained to me the significance of this business. well, both sides have a lot of incentive to do this to exchange prisoners. moscow clearly wants a situation where it's pres it's soldiers taken prisoners, they're not tried for war crimes, even if they've committed and what they've done to kind of put leverage on the cranium side is they generally announce that prisoners are held not by moscow, but by the to puppet states, they've set up in the don baths. that would also force other intermediaries to deal with these countries or with these provinces, as if they were countries the same time, you know, the presence of foreign prisoners being released moscow and moscow's to puppets have threatened to try them as war criminals. just because, you know, they're not ukrainians. so it's a very, very complicated issue and i'm not sure if the timing is a significant, as, as we might think of this. and of course you have the un general assembly going together. saudi arabia and turkey seem to have a new era cooperation. there's discussion of joint production of charles for example. but i think it's basically designed to get positive buzz in to enhance the status of both countries that have a feel that they're not getting the respect they deserve in the west. at a time when all the leaders of the world are

because while the store maybe over the suffering certainly has not ended yet or in the community of salinas, this is one of the worst areas in puerto rico and up and down these neighborhood streets, you'll see people sort of clearing their homes going through their belonging. see what was damaged, you can see that the water has not entirely finished subsiding here. the house that you're looking at right now people have been pulling money out, pulling their belongings out, seeing what they're able to salvage from here. again, people just sort of cleaning their homes, washing out the mud, and many people that we've spoken to say that they've lost everything something that's what they went through with hurricane fiona, was even worse than what they experience with hurricane maria, which devastated the island of puerto rico in 2017, killing almost 3000 people. many are expressing a sense of relief that the scale of the devastation was not nearly as bad as last time. but we're still

u. n, the u. s. promised to make russia pay if it tries a repeat of crimea, the united states will never recognize any territory. russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex as anything other than part of ukraine. we reject russia's actions unequivocally. and we will continue to work with our allies, partners and like minded to impose cost on russia and to provide historic amounts of support for ukraine. but international condemnation hasn't stopped moscow's ambitions and ukraine. vladimir putin has even threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend territory. he claims his part of russia. at this point, only he knows where that imaginary border lies. i spoke to alexander hook, the former principal deputy chief monitor of the o s e special monitoring mission to ukraine. i asked where the claims of a landslide victory for rush or in the circle referendums reflects the will of the people who live in i what happened in the last few days in these regions of ukraine is over of fiction and a very obscene fiction that these in which viewers are invited to suppose that victims of atrocities committed by the russian forces might slide with the perpetrators of them. i do believe that the script for what happened and what will happen has been bricked them a long time ago last year said before what happened in 2014 was probably the precursor of what we know my seem to be unfold in these 4 areas. will make up 50 percent of the ukrainian total, so will ukrainians from these antics regions now be conscripted to fight against their own countrymen. russia certainly will make sure that those area study will consider us rush average, of course, does not correspond with ukrainian law, and international law will serve their own purposes and they will seek any manpower they can find to defend these areas. as they have already indicated, they would do. i would, however, also suggest that any ukrainian leaving in rush and occupy the areas that may have put the cross on these paper has done so to survive. not to support these ambitious claims by russia. what happens now that these regions are part of russia, according to moscow? if you cranium forces do attack i cannot read the heads of the plans of what credit the criminal might do. you crime has all the right to defend its territory that remain its territory after these illegal actions that russia took. as i've mentioned before, international law and ukrainian law clearly states that will happen is illegal. russia may use, however, these as a pretext to up its defense and will claim that the areas are russian territory and therefore it can escalate the conflict further. legally, it doesn't change anything. these areas are and remain ukrainian territory. alexander, who in the hey, thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. the european union chief says sabotage is responsible for leaks on the north string pipelines that are sending plumes of gas into the baltic. scientists recorded under c explosions around the lines connecting russia to germany, that there are no claims of responsibility. poland says the leaks marked an escalation in the war on ukraine. who chief or for the funder line has pledged the strongest possible response to any deliberate disruption of energy infrastructure. just bubbles, churning the baltic. see this video from denmark's military shows thousands of cubic meters of fuel flowing from a pipeline. at least 70 meters below sea level. the under c pipelines north stream $1.00 and $2.00 link russia and germany. the 3 red dots mark the places where leaks were detected, even though the pipelines are not currently delivering russian gas to europe. they are still full of fuel after the pressure in the pipeline dropped earlier this week, the operator said that suggested actual damage to the on the sea pipes. some european leaders say that damage was no accident. the order says we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case, a sabotage. they also told anthro gormet sabotaged. it's still not clear what caused the problems on the pipeline pulse of which were constructed just a few years ago. but sweden has launched a preliminary probe to find out if the system was intentionally attacked. but if it is confirmed, that's clearly in no one's interest. um, now my understanding is the lease will not have a significant impact on europe's energy resilience. and what's critical is that we are working day in day out both on a short term basis in a long term basis to address energy security for, for europe. the u. s. as long warned that europe, his 2 dependents on russian gas and gas leaks and the baltic sea overshadowed the launch of a different project to secure supply. then malcolm, poland leaders who had a polish facility pulse of a project to transport norwegian gas via denmark to poland, to replace russian supplies. the ruptured gnawed stream pipelines partly owned by rushes. biggest gas producer. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just near j excruciating near them, no option can be ruled out right now. it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline. so we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reasons for this young man to before the results of the official investigation. if we're doing nuclear church, which broke jordan, with the accusations of sabotaged the suspicions over who is to blame, a ratcheting up tensions between russia and it's european neighbors. i'm joined now by a brussels bureau chief alexandro phenomena. how is the european union going to respond

i don't think he can make a lot of the voting itself. i mean these referendums shouldn't have taken place in the 1st place. and a lot of the people from this region has left russia controlled only part of these regions. and if any voting would take place on ukrainian soil, it should be a, according to ukranian laws. so i think we can fairly consider the reverend and arnelle and lloyd's m. why does russia feel the need to organize such a pseudo referendums? at this point, i think there are 2 important things to have in mind. the 1st one is a, the relationship to the local population and forth from these people to tell they are part of russia. now, the 2nd thought is, of course, a sort of deterrence effort in a political way, seeing these territories on our part of russia is supposed to raise the stakes or further ukrainian offensive to sort of intimidate western partners of ukraine. right? so the consequences of these ballot bowery are not are clearly real. what happens now when ukrainian forces attack, what russia considered to be its territory? say in the next few days, we will see the m, m setting and displaying all these territories, joining the russian federation. what consequences this will have in the war is less clear and hooting? has mentioned that any attempt by ukraine to re take control of these territories would have enormous consequences. he'll he mention possible use of nuclear weapons . and i'm not sure. well, i think the russians can be pretty sure that the ukrainians will try to re take control of these territories. the signal is rather to western partners of ukraine and to tell them don't support ukraine further and push put pressure on ukraine to go for a negotiation now. right. um, but you, you mention, sorry, are you mentioned the nuclear option? this is something that many people are deeply concerned about. do you think that russian president vladimir putin would actually use nuclear weapons in response to an attack on what he might consider to be russian territory? this is fairly disproportionate. i mean, the russian nuclear duct tree mentions the use of nuclear weapons in cases off, existential threats for the russian federation itself. um, i don't think i am an infringement on um, russian territorial integrity even. and even more so, if this territory was ukrainian territory and is still considered as ukrainian territory by ukraine, i don't think this can lead to a nuclear escalation, but you can't take, these are the sort of threats to lightly. i mean, if he repeatedly sent, or he might use nuclear weapons and this should be considered seriously. oh, what impact, if any, do you think annexation will have on the willingness of ukraine's our lives to provide it with further military support? and i very much hope that it has little impact because we can't, let's russia decide what it's territory is, am, and what is ukrainian territory. and so i think we need to further support ukraine and, and to further make the point that's of territorial integrity. has a very concrete meaning. oh, yeah. marie de malone from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much for talking with us. thank you. well, rushes military has called up over 300000 reserve soldiers for duty in his war against ukraine, but almost 2 thirds. as many people have fled, the country countries bordering russia report almost 200000 russian nationals, herbs crossed since the mobilization was declared. others are staying and protesting, despite the risk. ah, no to warn the shout. hundreds of demonstrators stick to the streets of moscow to protest hooton's mobilization. authorities arrested many of them. no longer among them was mikhail, a 29 year old musician and bought gusto. he thought he says he spent 6 hours in custody with lou yearning which the police tried to force him to sign a draft notice. yeah, but a shoulder to walk on. i was taken into another room, though a numerous man, the 2 of police officers, another 2 were in plain clothes from him. they locked the door from the inside and began telling me that i was nobody, the humiliated me shove me around and even kicked me off. i had to endure it all in the end i made out without signing anything. now i'll just have to wait and see what happens. are all only what baccha as a dash covington dash, since his detention make has been seeing that the friend he hardly goes out to white police. he could be called up for the mobilization because he has completed his military service. but he says he has been against the war from the very beginning, yet will call you all there is no way that i will be drafted. that is all. i would rather go to a penal colony, then go to warn you shall angle, just as military has reportedly suffered heavy losses in ukraine, moscow hoops fresh, truthful change? it's watch, jones. officially 300000 expedient. soldiers have been called up. but critic fate. the draft is considerably more universal and more arbitrary, particularly, and provincial regions. men without basic military training alfredo being sent to fight like this warehouse worker or his galoshes. they say to us just go are but they don't care whether we come back some day. we're just a cannon fodder. the goal of this mobilization is to stock up on cannon fodder and wind with quantity since the quality isn't there? your audience thought cost me kyle in moscow says he doesn't want to flee abroad even if it's risky. staying in russia theater will go of age of the opera. i can sensing something inside me a sense that i don't like what's going on here. and i want to defend myself, or i think there's still hopefully as well. but if no one stays in russia by then, no one can change anything. i think i was going thought it was marginal taylor is dealt. mikhail wants to continue teaching to the streets to protest against buttons one, even if he and his fellow demonstrators could be up to 15 years behind laws for doing so. european union leaders say sabotage is responsible for leaks on the north stream pipelines that are sending plumes of gas into the baltic sea scientists recorded under c explosions around the lines connecting russia and germany. though there are no claims of responsibility. poland says the leaks marked an escalation in the war on ukraine. kremlin spokesman said it would be stupid in absurd to blame russia for the attack fuel spilling out into the baltic sea. after while the youth top diplomat, joseph burrell. say's is a likely ox of sabotaged. b 2 at node stream pipelines linked russia and germany. 3 red dots, monk, the places where the leaks were detected. even though the pipelines are not currently delivering rushing gas to europe. they're still full of fuel. up to 100000000 cubic meters of gas is spewing from the pipelines every hour. with no way of closing them, the leagues could continue until the pipes are empty. european leaders say they're fairly certain about the calls of the leaks. it sounds good. we have swedish intelligence, but we also have received information from denmark. and based on this, we concluded that this is probably a deliberate act. it is probably a case, a sabotage, the acetone landfill gall met sabotage. the kremlin has also suggested foul play. she just needs a scrutiny of them, no ups and can be ruled out right now. it's clear that there is damage to the pipeline, so we can't exclude any version of events regarding the reason for this young man to before the results of the official investigation. we're doing these creatures which brokerage over in the e. u has vod retaliation for any attack on the energy network. the leaks are expected to last for at least in the week. and only then can investigations begin or more enjoy now by commander tor even lumen he is a researcher and senior lecturer at the royal norwegian navy academy in bag. and thanks for being with us. um, what's the evidence? first of all, indicating that these pipeline leaks were actually caused by sabotaged fuel the distance between the leaks and the explosion is near the end in the pipeline. and so on. both indicates that this is not a accident. this is something which was blind and, and conducted by humans in order to destruct the dose black lance. now this happened in the baltic sea, not far from the island of bon home, is quite a bit of traffic out there, maritime traffic. how difficult would it be to carry out such attacks in those locations without being detected? actually fairly easy. a said those they supposed to could have been placed weeks and months even years b

u. s. with the u. n's nuclear watchdog, the international atomic energy agency, claiming to runs intentions are not entirely peaceful. iran, meanwhile, has maintained its dance, that his program is focused on nuclear energy and not the development of weapons. we heard earlier from christopher halle, a political analyst and researcher, who says that washington uses sanctions as a political tool and its ordinary iranians. who suffer. i think number one that the report is, is a bomb. so, but it's a bumps so that all of us the new with a reality for the past decade. and i think that nothing's going to change. for example, the trump administration, elevated distinctions to what they called the maximum pressure campaign. and the biden administration has further enhanced those sanctions. so it's a bipartisan consensus in washington to in the sanctions on iran. they're affecting ordinary iranians and they're affecting the ability to get medicine, their ability to get food and their ability to function and live a dignified life. i don't see the things ending anytime soon. and i feel that campaign as

at trial, which it was not enough to overturn that conviction. and so they affirmed the life sentence. now practically, it actually makes very little difference because he's already serving another

trump and his company that they should. james is alleging business forward involving some of the trump organizations most valuable assets, petty calhane reports from washington, dc. former president donald trump has always been keen to put the focus under many buildings he owns, but now he's been accused of fraudulently misrepresenting the value of those buildings. and this is the subject of a civil court case announced wednesday by the new york attorney general. the allegation professional assessors would decide how much the buildings were worth, but when the trumps went to get loans or insurance policies, they dramatically insulated the amount in order to pay less interest and get cheaper premiums. this conduct can not be brushed aside and dismissed as some sort of good faith mistake. and the statements, a financial condition were greatly exaggerated, grossly inflated objectively false, and therefore fraudulent and illegal. some examples, his club in florida mar, logo, the likely worth was $75000000.00, but the trump's alleged it was worth $739000000.00. 40 wall street in manhattan, likely worth 220000000. but they put the value at $527000000.00, antrim park avenue, likely worth $84500000.00 alleged worth a $135900000.00. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the ard of the deal. it's the ard of the steel. trump responded to the allegations on his social media site, calling the attorney general racist and accusing her of doing this to win in election writing. i never thought this case would be brought until i saw her really bad poll numbers. she is a fraud who campaigned on a get trump platform, but experts for these kinds of white color cases can be hard to when you have to show that there is impact the specific intent to defraud and the lack of emails. and if there isn't somebody who will testify against president trump and say that he had the intent to do fraud, that will be something that he can certainly use in his defense. this is a civil case, but the attorney general has referred her fine. insta, jurisdictions that can bring criminal charges, and the internal revenue service. she is asking the judge to band the defendants for being able to work as an officer for any newer companies, for life, ban them from buying commercial real estate or work with new york banks for 5 years . and she wants to

u. s ambassador to the u. n to discuss the role of the united states. our hope is to rally the world behind the charter that we all committed to right here. 77 years ago. u s ambassador to the united nations linda thomas greenfield delivered remarks at san francisco's fairmont hotel, the site where the charter was drafted in 1945 ahead of next week's general assembly, she said russia's invasion of ukraine has left the u. n facing a crisis of confidence. this is about defending the charter. this is about peace for the next generation. this is about protecting the un's principles. the ambassador laid out six clear principles for security council members, which includes russia and china. they include defending and following the charter, refraining from the use of vetoes and enhancing transparency with the general assembly can't speak for china and russia. what we're doing is setting a standard a standard that we will adhere to and we call upon others to adhere to this week. the ambassador accused russia of detaining and forcibly deporting hundreds of thousa

u. n. official said the vessel, the 1st specially chartered by the u. n. s, world food program to unblocked food shipments stuck after rushes. invasion of ukraine will head toward your booty from where the grain will be transported to ethiopia, the restarting of food aid from ukraine. could mark a major turning point in the fight against worsening global hunger. we heard about it again on the 16th of august, and then again on the 18th of august and 2 days after that, the un secretary general praised its mission as well. so moving to see and he stumbled, a w. s. p. ship brave commander, loaded with tons of ukrainian wheat, destined for much needed hunger relief in the horn of africa. i salute all those involved in this amazing humanitarian operation. at long last, the ship made landfall on august 30th. it was as if hunger on the continent was about to come to a definitive end. it took 2 weeks to travel here from southern ukraine. this wheat is meant to feed 1500000 people in ethiopia for a month, but it is not enough for a country facing several humanitarian challenges. food security experts call it a drop in the bucket for the vast needs in the worst hit horn countries of so malia kenya and ethiopia, the nation where this 1st shipment is going, well, wait a minute. why did all of east africa only get one ship if they're so desperate for food? un records show that ukrainian grain went to other places as well? ireland, greece, italy, countries that are not exactly hunger stricken well. ukrainian officials are wiping their hands clean of that since after all, the free market decides the destination for the cargo has been negotiated between the supplier and the buyers, and they are totally commercial activities. we don't decide where it goes. it is a free market. however, not everyone spying that alibi. 34 ships with grain went off odessa. only one went to africa, the other to europe and usa, ukraine as rescuing nobody from hunger. only one out of 34 ships exporting grain from ukraine went to africa. so much for the western fake concern about hunger in poor countries. all that media attention for a single ship and the plight of starvation in africa. was it all really because the west is so concerned about starving africans, or was it a big p r study to boost calves popularity around the world? we're in the 1st place. you blame this on russia. and as actually, sir, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. is a cynical, and this is todd o, the geopolitical oh, propaganda comes from united states in european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies of widen ministration and new new africa strategy, which i just wrote about in secretaries dinkins trip to africa last week and is still with hypocrisy. and for it, it is good to have you with us today. the french prime minister is wanting citizens, they may be facing rolling blackouts in their homes this winter. that's as the energy crisis grows amid antique russia sanctions for you one day that we are producing less electricity. and there may be moments if it's very cold, where we can have a problem to supply electricity. in such case, we'd cut off by a rotation neighborhood by neighborhood for no more than 2 hours. one does well, the statement comes of a gas problems. notice it will stop providing a leading french utility company with any more natural gas. the cut off comes off to that company, fail to pay for supplies, transferred in july. gas from says the flow won't be resumed until the french firm pays its bill in full. prompted powers to claim that moscow was using energy as a weapon. we discussed all of this with economist and political commentator. i can hammer course this justifies because if the european tell them we don't pay you, we would pay euro's but those euro we freeze right away. so basically not pay. so who is, who would supply anything? when he told you, you won't get paid. i mean, that's totally normal and guess and then europe is not the view. the only client forgets from they can sell the gas wherever they want in the world. and india and china, they demand the guess they want to go. they pay for the guess. so it's totally normal that you don't supply anything any more. the people don't, don't, don't pay. well, this all comes as fears about power shortages have grown after russian energy, john gas from this week stop to gas applies to germany via the north stream. one pipeline though, this is due to a shirt, your old 3 day maintenance project that just adds to compounding problems in europe, which are seen inflation rates rising, even going past 9 percent and largely driven by that of storing energy prices. and faced with skyrocketing energy bills, european businesses have been struggling to find solutions. one italian ceramics company is office employees to sacrifice sleep and start earlier in the morning. the firms bosses saying that would help to reduce electricity costs for lighting the facility. the workers have also been told to use less air conditioning. ceramics are traditionally viewed as one of the most energy intensive businesses. so we went out and spoke to the firm, staff to see how they're adjusting it, go for them, and i'm up at the cost of methane has taken a substantial toll in us. it's increased 1000 percent for a company like ours is difficult to bear. we're trying to hold onto our savings. we're trying to spend less on lighting and energy. our situation has changed in the morning. we make breakfast here. we want to keep our jobs. today i've been forced to rely on my parents every night because otherwise i would have to wake up my children at 5 in the morning to leave them with their grandparents. it's some feasible, well elsewhere in italy, several sicilian fishing, marina's of analysis strikes as fuel prices continue to sole. and while a prime minister mariel drive, he refuses to subsidize energy costs with the countries newly announced aid packages. the rising cost of fuel is crippling. the italian fishing industry threatening mariners up and down the coast with bankruptcy. santino adama, the president of the italian national fishing association and my daughter, the law declared that all 70 of the marina's fishing boats will stop their work indefinitely. and we heard from several of the towns anglers about the struggle. well august, especially though we've resisted the increase in petrol, but now we're really tired and we can't take it any more. all the prices have risen, but especially fuel. and so we have decided to turn off the engine and not go fishing anymore, because now we have more expensive than revenue. good on and there is a lot of demand for fish, but we just can't go out to see any more. because petro cost way too much phase, it was the sun that, you know, we can no longer work with these fuel price increases. patrol is too expensive. we have all stock with this system is useless to go to work, right? we cannot even pay the expenses. we are in crisis, no one is helping us up, the government should intervene, so we could pay a little less for gasoline than the current prices as auto body of the boot. we are experiencing a nightmare due to the increase the price of fuel. we are almost all bank, but you cannot go wrong with lease mariah. we are paying that $5000.00 euros for petrol issue. and i told you that before we paid $1500.00, even for us fisherman who have small bought the situation is becoming terrible. we are now ready to stop fishing for thee soon increase in the price of fuel, which are you there? oh, right now are shifting over to east africa, where in malawi, fuel is not just expensive, it's really hard to come by a residence. they are basically forced to purchase gasoline smuggled in from neighboring mozambique. now malawi has been low on fuel since april with petrol stations across the country. well, basically running on fumes. the rising prices have the government struggling to pay for the critical import. some entrepreneurs, however, are benefiting from the situation and reportedly smuggling petrol into the country . selling it at a 50 percent premium to price is listed as the often empty pumps. well, we heard from an official in malawi, 2nd largest city, who says that western sanctions imposed against russia has had a direct impact on the east african country. so there must be people struggling with no time or the middle is the way the company we can go about story. we invade discussion, we are the ones that us problem when the actual on the, on the rush and we spoke a week for sure. but i think it comes out of your life as you may want to punish that. also that extra punishing after these mentioned like my life. because right now, i'm telling you that we have to show the united states is stopping it's free cove at 19 at home testing program, citing a lack of funding this while the funds keep on flowing to ukraine and taiwan in the form of an additional $4000000000.00 of military armaments is our correspondent, caleb. while the united states seems to have plenty of money to throw around, there's just been congressional approval for bite and sending $3300000000.00 to ukraine military aid. there's also been an armed sale to taiwan for $1100000000.00 . it's also been approved, so there's plenty of money being thrown around, but not for everything. ordering through this program will be suspended on friday, september 2nd, because congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation stockpile of tests. now, there won't be any more at home cobit tests that will be available to people. this program has been going on since january the u. s. department of health has provided over 600000000 people with at home free cobra tests. now, at this point, this program has been shut down due to lack of funding their stockpiling tests for what is being predicted as an autumn winter serge in co. now, many americans are reacting to this in somewhat of a negative way. wondering why are their concerns not being put 1st? they should just say the coven tests are weapons for ukraine, and there will be plenty of funding. they should call it tests for ukraine, because then the funding would be unlimited. amidst record inflation, washington has spent some $50000000000.00 on weapons for ukraine since february alone, while seizing all cobra 19 relief funding and targeting social welfare benefits for millions of americans. now this isn't so totally surprise the other people on many were familiar with the patterns of us spending of observe these kind of actions. for example, you look at the congressional discretionary spending from the year o

u. n. is being fed to the fires of sanctions except for the sacrifice for the sake of preserving a u. s. dictatorship. this situation has been brought about by the reckless moves of the u. s. and in the u. k. and the leader who are obsessed with illusionary political ideas up with and they pushed their own citizens and people outside the so called golden billy, and of aliya said, be into the background your. this will inevitably lead western countries to a dead end of economic and social crisis, and it will create unpredictable consequences for the whole world. meanwhile, the energy situation within the block is already boiling over mass protests of erupt it in many european states as citizens, blame, beg, governments for the economic fallout from other sanctions against russia. this comes as the check prime minister claim that russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns of behind all of these demonstrations. austrian citizens were among the latest a voice that concerns a thousands rallied in vienna. as a protest, a soaring energy prices and rapids inflation protests has also demanded the lifting of anti russia sanctions and the launching of the north stream 2 gas
