Pointing to the normal standards of elections. I saw that exactly the same, like in russia are in france, president putin, a grant russian citizenship. The us with the lower Edward Snowden passes us. All sorts is still wanting to faith, a criminal trial on espionage charges with from off go to the world. This is all the international. My name is peter scotts here with the top stories at 4 am start time. Now its up story this, our Officials Say that 17 people were killed, including 11 children and over 20 others were wounded in a devastating School Shooting in the central russian city of jeffs. Or you can see people bringing flowers until boys to the School Entrance morning. Those killed in the tragedy now wanting the following video, which does show people trapped in the building during the attack is distressing. Oh, i see with them when we went out to a magazine case is everywhere. Shoes lit on the stairs. We were very stressed. Ive been shaking for a very long time, which clinics all of my do to very to me on viking. She roach kids. My mom, i love you very much. I thought she was joking, but as it turned out, she was in awe. With 1st grade with 7 year old kids, armando dad, that actually was very scary. Everyone was screaming and panicking. We were in a classroom with the door locked, someone came and knocked on. It was something metallic gun, most likely. Ah mm. Now lets take a look at the latest on the referendums in the don bus. Republics ive done yet in lieu guns, as well as 2 of the regions up origin had a song. Now its the final day of voting as locals decide on whether they want to become a part of russia. Ah. The 4th day of voting saw all 4 regions passing the crucial 50 percent milestone. The highest turn out to the polls has been in the done yes. Republic where around 1500000 people cast their votes in little gun, superbly participation, remain steady with over 1000000 voting while in the caps on ends up regions turn out is roughly on the same level, reaching 63 and 66 percent. Accordingly, the referendum has been widely condemned as illegal by many countries, ortiz roman, cause they have heard from some International Observers monitoring the voting process in the dont bust. Group of International Observers are traveling around the peoples republic and to make sure there are no violations. Now this is the 4th day of the referendum, and people are still voting at home. There are mo bile referendum committees Walking Around the Apartment Buildings, private houses, and asking people whether they want to cast or vote for the peoples republic to join russia or not. So my 1st time in don bus, i was the 1st time it was in november 2015. So we participated the last years in the organization and we try as well on my, on my, you tube channels like ball tooth publish. Some, some news, some real news about what happens here. Its important that everything should be done legally procedure to be respected and i hope to hear because i, i so that is exactly the same. Like in, in rush hour in france, i read just across the border directly to this 1st point of voting before this we were under russian city of stuff. There are quite a lot of refugees from this territories here in the us. So we already had a chance to visit a point of holding their roster. And what we saw there was, according to the normal standards of elections. Following short introductions and orientation at the referendum center here in the town, as International Observers move on to actual voting. Now theyve come here to this Apartment Building and you can see a lot of locals are here. They will be casting their vote in referendum. Of course, sir, ah, all these people are free to speak within sinner ash, International Observers, if they want to. And of course, these foreigners whove arrived to make sure theyre no via nations, will be here documenting everything and hopefully deliver the truth back to their respective nations. Oh yes, leon, what we have hope thats the most important thing. We help them. We wont be laughed and the situation improves. Theres much hard work had that we still have hope, which and which of so we want peace. We want happiness for our children. We want to join russia and everything to get better. New still not was, im awesome. I believe will will be protected, that russia will help us because weve been showed for 8 years. What if our town is shell like the netscape . Here is my child. Where will we go . We have nowhere to go. Where are you here in torres . This town hasnt seen active war activities since 20142015 nevertheless, we can still hear her sounds of artillery from a very far away. Of course, the main hope of all these people is that as soon as the results of the referendum are in all this tragedy, all this horror for well find the list stop from on call for a marty bonus peoples republic or with the voting soon to wrap up, of course, well keep your dates on the results and what the future holds for these reasons. Regions, ah, in all the news president putin has granted russian citizenship a form, a u. S. Security contractor Edward Snowden. Following his request, you authorities still want the whistleblower to be returned to the country to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. Our, our position has not changed. Mister snowden should return to the United States where he should face justice as any other american citizen would. And just for a bit of background on snowden story, working as a private contractor in the National Security agency, he revealed secret information gathering programs conducted by the agency in 2013. The documents revealed vast domestic and International Surveillance operations. Its been over a month in moscow, airports, and applied for a fall, him in 20 countries, including russia, where he was granted permanent residency rights, let him to to and said that the whistleblower would not be handed over one pretty much. He ended up in transit and then no country would take him. So what were we supposed to do . Russia is not a country that hands over those fighting for human rights. But join us live now, a former officer raymond, mcgovern raymond, thanks for joining us today on our t y y. In your opinion, do you think that was snowden has been granted russian citizenship now on the for a taken quite a long time and be, can we read anything in the timing of it all the time . We may have something to do with the deterioration and relations with the United States, but i wouldnt make a big thing of that. Its been pending for a couple of years. I used to get granted residency status. The big thing that seemed to me is what most approaching was. It was to reveal those saying there that nobody else would take him is the quintessential political. As sy lee, there are international lawyers. Mister routine happens to be a lawyer guarantee that countries take in political refugees and thats for us to decided to do later when he was asked will, does he think that the snow did the right thing, mr. Perkins or no. But the law is the law. And hell bade it now, hes given citizenship to snowden. And, you know, i think people need to realize is the supreme patriot. He put his own conscience above the regulations that violated our constitution. You know, all of us from the private in the army, to officials at the ca. We take a solemn oath to see only 2. 0, i take in my life and is to defend and protect the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Now, what i had observed by the National Security agency in particular, was bows was gross violation of the 4th amendment of our constitution. And really important one when you consider how we came out from under british rule, supp force amendment. And it says the race of the people were talking about peoples race here shall not be violated, right . Of the people to be secured, secure in their persons, places, officers and things from unreasonable searches and seizures that shall not be violated. And no warrants shall issue. Accept upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the places to be search. And the people were things to be seized. Now that was really important, the british had been coming into our, our houses and rating them way back before the revolution. So this was an incredibly important amendment to our constitution as will swore a formal oath to that constitution. That knows, pre sins or super sees and a little thing, a sign that says he wont reveal secrets. Those are secrets that showed the laws were breaking, i apply them for that. Matter of fact, we gave him a, i know award called the sam adams reward for integrity and intelligence. We did that just months after revealed all those secrets just to pick you up on the raymond, the u. S. Appeals court did find the program this snowden had exposed, was unlawful. Why do you think this to pursue him for this then . Well, they hate Edward Snowden because he did what no one else had the courage to do. It fully expected to meet his death by doing this. He did it anyway. And the supreme outrage is that he got free. Okay. Now, how did he get free . He was in hong kong. There was a worldwide look out from a dragnet. Theyre going to get a, but they didnt said he got on a plane and got to moscow. How did that happen . Ill tell you how it happened. Julian assigned hope that to happen. He had people who are non con, they worked out a deal. They got him on that plane. Why did they have children . You know, such, partly because he got it snowden out and safe. And now it has a family and a little boy, and i applied it beds, watching your friend re applied what you did. Congratulations on your citizenship. He knows maybe hes watching raymond, i think youve given the fact that, you know, has versus citizenship. Its even more likely that he will be getting back to the state side. Well, you know, im a hopeful person. Things will change. Things always change, and then a few years we may have a more sensible administration. We may be taught by, by bad, by bad experiences. We cannot pretend to be exceptional countries anymore. So there may be people coming into office who will say, all right, well, were not going to let the c, i a in the say, run our policy anymore and defend the constitution. The 4th amendment, in particular, were going to bring on home and congratulate him for following his conscience and not holding in with all the people who go along to get alone. What reaction raymond, do you think we can expect if any, from the us media over the grunting versus citizenship to know . Do you think youll get much coverage . The unfortunately are our media, our major media, the established media isnt under the heel of the government. So whatever government guidance comes out tomorrow morning, you could expect all the print and the chronic media to show yes, she violated the law. He, he let secrets out. You know, those secrets were that the government was violating our essential rights on the 4th amendment of the constitution. He should be applauded for that. He should not be brought to trial. Do you think that certain aspects of us the valence should be more regulated and become a little bit more sort of accountable in lights . Of the leaks the snowdon made. I mean, obviously there were millions of people both within and outside the us that were victims to this house. Its a problem. Do you think you fit and you think theyll be more accountability will have been long passed. For example, in california were strictly de limit the power of the government do these things. But i have to say that the f b, i, the National Security agency and as a and c i a pretty much have a hold on things. The so called oversight committees are actually overlook committees and theyre all afraid of what the f b i has on them. And so theres very little real oversight. I. Well, i dont suspect my friends in an essay tell me that its just as bad as ever. Every telephone call, every e mail, every whatever you think is tracked and recorded. Not read right away, but its, it kept it stored. Ok. When i asked ed, when i asked though benny was a technical director and they say, i said, i said, bill, its impossible. How can they collect all their stuff . And bill said re, trust me, they can, and they do. And so you know, this, this continues because the government is not able to stop and even if they wanted to. And they congressional so called oversight committees are, as i said before, overlook committees. Partly because they fear what would happen to them personally if they really exercise effective oversight or big brothers roger watching you, former officer ray mcgovern. Thank you very much for your fascinating take. On the Edward Snowden receiving motion citizenship. Thanks for your time today. Youre most welcome to the Un General Assembly in new york now, where the theory and foreign minister expressed support for russia in the ukraine. Conflicts say he believes that moscow is defending itself. But the story affected serial reiterates its position on the Russian Special military operation in ukraine and the right of russia to defend itself and to secure its national territory. We are convinced that the Russian Federation is defending, not only itself but justice and rights for humanity. The rights of everyone to reject unipolar hedge moni was also important to know that in his remarks, the syrian foreign minister expose the hypocrisy of un action date. Currently with violating serious territorial integrity with you as groups in serial without the permission of the internationally recognized government. Heres the syrian foreign minister. Then how about us war against syria was an attempt by the west to maintain control over the world. But this war, which is aimed at breaking serious will, and isolating it from the world, has failed. Illegal military presence on syrian territory violates international law. And the un shorter than this presence must cease immediately. We cannot combat terrorism through International Illegal coalitions that violate the sovereignty of states that destroy villages and cities that carry out massacres against civilians and the plunder National Wealth and support terrorists. The Prime Minister of molig, who took power amid recent turmoil and the countries vote before the Un General Assembly in his remark, which is under a lead him down the countrys former colonizer franz, adding on both their role in aggression around the world and escalating global conflicts spreading instability, and he then emphasized that he considered russia to be a country that was friendly tamales country. That molly good cooperate. Now, western leaders seem committed to resolving that situation. Ukraine on the battlefield, there for more weapons in the ukraine. They dont seem enthusiastic about negotiations, but when we heard the representative of the republic of the congo speak not only size, but many countries in the developing world are emphasizing the need for dialogue and negotiations. He went as far as to address both russia and the key of government. This is how he spoke. He actually spoke in russia, take a listen, just a small treat. Pretty smoothly me about says hes got the music movies do you know . Is so much given a sallys brought you from that just of vomiting of thought. Im you know, wave. I mean, i so been of leaning, glad youre spending glad. Cool. Sky is a 1000000000 you but do my tia my la jose version books that on a do made yes. Would be blue, shook buck alanine. Pretty slow for him. Yeah. But it says, i mean this over him. Yeah, but it says i need a diet needle. Nestle shows the world once a piece will negotiated resolution to the conflict on like western leaders who are pouring in more weapons. Then furthermore, there are many countries around the world that recognize rushes right to defend itself and in protect the peoples of the eastern regions of the dom boss and support their referendum. So there are many voices around the world who show that though the arrogant language the us uses, when it projects its opinion as being the pinion the opinion of the entire International Community just doesnt match. Were seeing that at the Un General Assembly. And of course i, u. S. And western media are ignoring the many voices were hearing from the floor of the Un General Assembly debate. Were saying the opposite of what they present the world is believing. The u. S. Isnt fooling anyone how the indian minister of external affairs commented on the u. S. President s decision to send military aids focused on what he honestly its, its a, its a relationship that has neither ended up solving focused on, well, not solving American Interest or some money to say im doing this because it is for counterterrorism. When you are talking of an aircraft like theyre capable of the, of the, of 60, i dont really, Everybody Knows you know where they are deployed and what is the use and what is their capability . So, you know, youre not pulling anybody by saying these things. Well, in yes, few mean india is very unhappy over the f. 16 by the u. S. The Foreign Affairs minister when dad of to s j r car has land the bite and administrations proposal of providing nearly 450000000. 00 worth of as an military assistance to part time. Now every time you s provides these that in stock a sunday use against india, f, 16 f, 86, and a 104 south fight does. All of them have been used against india . The latest, for example, was f. 16 being used in india in 2090. Now to the bottom one strike, one is that india is closer to g, a u. S. They to many years. So why want america knowing very well that the deal with docusign is going to hurt one of each cell, close friends, make that the dollar apply . Now india has made it very clear to americans that india does not want se stevens being operational is a big heavy for india, a heavy india does not want. And finally, a right Wing Alliance is claiming victory in the italian parliamentary elections which could see the leader of the brothers of italy, party, georgia, maloney become the 1st female Prime Minister in the countrys history. The early results indicate a Coalition Government that some c as if these most right wing, since the days of fascist dictator. Benito, mussolini, and alliance of the brothers of italy and mateo, venus, league, silvio, berlusconi, is forth italia, and the us moderates parties has won over 40 percent of the votes, with the full results expected. Later on monday, we spoke the independent journalist mcgreevy who says the results show that italians wont change. Think says worse than the in italy over the last years. And italian south fed up with having government that last for one year maximum. Fed up with illegal immigration, coming from africa and from the middle east. That is non the start and italy. And they are really shocked by the declaration of the last few days of missed that land. The president of the European Commission when she threatened italy, if the italians voted badly, in other words, for miss maloney and her friends to have the instruments to constrain the dalliance into following european policies dictated by brussels. How could the president of European Commission that hes not even elected victor or been fighting the polish Prime Minister, who have been elected with absolute majority is the threats of mrs. Founder lane will turn back like a boomerang on the u. Protestant process. What will be the answer from says melanie, we dont know yet, of course, but it will certainly be strong. This woman is not afraid of brussels. She will certainly make inroads into the brussels crowd and make sure that the voice of italy and the voice of the other groups off software and tests within the european concept will be heard more and more or less are up for now.
