the constant. ah, thank you for joining us. i'm 0 venue. you're watching alger 0 live from doha. also coming up in the show, an independent investigation. fines is really forces deliberately killed al jazeera journalists, sharina ugly, and hurricane fiona, gather strength, even as it wreaks havoc in the caribbean. cruise russian controlled regions in eastern and southern ukraine say they will hold referendums on shiny russia this week. he is calling this move a sham. it's also been heavily criticized by the united states. the vote will be held on friday and it will take place in the 4 regions of landscape and yet, except for richer and croissant, which represent together about 15 percent of ukraine's territory. proposed with some of the michelle from the very beginning of the special military operation. and before it, we've been saying that the peoples of the respective territories should decide their own fate. the whole current situation confirms that they want to be master of their own fate. a spring in an hour, honey, and she's senior scholar at the carnegie endowment for international peace. he joins us from boston, massachusetts, how to, thanks for being with us. what's the play for russia here? what's the end goal? well, i think that there is no angle for russia, meaning that there are one hasn't been announced, which gives their present. quotation is significant on the unity and data mcgee is something that he can use throughout the war, as well as the time comes to negotiate. originally at the tyler at the beginning of this invasion as if occasion regime change. but overall, as time went on, his goals also shifted and most recently have seen the signal as he also played in a clip before this that me announced that this was our goal all along me to liberate the don't. yes, the low house republics. but of course, if this was the goal of all along, it really demonstrates the foolishness of friendly strategy in invading time to invade all of your brain. so these regions are going to vote to join russia. i think that's a given we. we also know that western countries will not recognize the results of the vote. then what? so that's an important question indeed that is, that is where we're headed. the reason that it will not be recognized is because this is a form. it's actually pornographic station which put in already tried already carried out in the crimea. the international law has been solid, pretty strong on a territorial conquest, military the use of military to change borders. and one aspect of this, the way just now has been heavily holding is that the international community does not recognize next territory. so the reaction of the west is not surprising. indeed, looking at the polling from your brain, carried out from july of this year, the population seems to be only over 60 percent of the population is ready to accept some sort of keys deal with russia if this went. public's are integrated into russia, but the ukrainian leadership has been stating very clearly that they will not settle until they are recover all of their territory including crimea. so i think i'm afraid we might be looking at a deadlock, n r, which is also not surprising if you zoom out a look at the patterns of contemporary art conflict, how they end. there is this tender trend called the evolution of non victory, meaning the limits of a cheap political goals for military means. but yeah, we also do not have good strategies, a piece of building functional piece process. he's so big chunk of the conflict are stuck somewhere in between. i let me just conclude by saying that this is an outcome that rush on a life simply because that uncertainty allows him to perhaps stop the violence because he's also present putting and also thinking about announcing mass mobilization. and there will be a political backlash that but having temporary, sort of some central state, a leverage over ukraine and essentially creating this is the ability to fracture in eastern europe, which he can build for a year. so come look, i mean, i think it's really interesting what you say, because we tend to think of these conflicts as, as winning or losing and the outcome has to be one or the other. but as you, as you rightly point out, often it's just this kind of messy stalemate where things are stuck, as you say, is there, is there going to be an escalation of the conflict after after this could be, could this be used as a justification by russia to escalate things there are, some analysts will expect this. and one pathway to this is that by essentially changing the border and recognizing this before a public's delayed economy rush resides russian territory. so this in kremlin xyz gets the president, which in some legitimacy at home and abroad, to say that this is not a war. that this war is being wage on our territory. a, something that he already paid backlash in and some high corporation organization a some is telling us based on this indicated why we this work which demonstrated that we're having these significant power over the rest of the world. but at the same time getting very big push from china and india, one among its biggest backers. * a pushback on to end, the war indicates that no leader of a government is ready to absorb the cost of political dial, asking their state as a result of the war. i'm coming to the heels in a week of the college crisis and hanging. thank you very much for your observation observations and for your time. thank you. pleasure. ukraine's government says there is evidence of

help negotiate a deal to expose the grain from ukraine. he says there now needs to be a dignified end to the war. tennessee president emanuel macro of france in an impassioned speech was much tougher on russia. although not over bal, you as i am speaking to you now, there are russian troops in ukraine and hundreds as far as i know, there are no ukrainian troops in russia. that's a fact. and we all have to recognize that the longer this war goes on for the more it threatens peace in europe, in the entire world. and it leads to a wider, permanent conflict whose, where the suffer entity and security of every one will only depend on power loss. what we have been witnessing since february 24th is a returned to imperialism and colonialism. good. ukraine is expected to be one of the focuses

causing collapses of bridges, cutting out power for thousands of residents. there are still many, many people here on the island that don't have electricity that don't have running water. authorities are working to quickly restore power to the whole island to restore running water, to people across puerto rico. we also have heard from the us national hurricane center that says that hurricane.

year high? from matessa reports from pretoria? i in some other countries, it's rate to see police and prison officials protesting. they are considered an essential service. but unions in south africa, did they want to pressure the government into addressing the rising cost of living to you of $1.00 of them neighboring on a day to day basis, sending the labor and at the end of the day does nothing

going to tackle the electricity crisis. whatever challenges facing the country. it seems africa's most industrialized economy is in trouble. as more and more south africans, clay increasingly frustrated. how to move us out is in between let's go straight to the un general assembly where german chancellor olaf sholtes is making his address energy. we know that we owe our freedom of stability and our prosperity to an international order with the united nations of that score. therefore, migrant countries commitment to this organization and its noble golds piece, development and equal rights and dignity for every human being. we're never re ladies us because unfortunately i'm expressing this commitment at a time during which we are getting further away from these nova girls. after decades during which we overcame walls and blocks the time in which we marked the fall of the i'm kurt and and german reunification after the technological revolution of the internet and the digital transformation which have made as all interconnected than ever before. we are now facing a new fragmentation of the world. you was in conflicts have emerged. major global crises are piling up before i send are combining and reinforcing one another. some have even seen this as a harbinger the world without rules. it is true that the rest are global order real and yet i do not hold with the image of a world without rules for 2 reasons. firstly, our world has clear rules, rules that we, the united nations created together. this charter promises all of us freedom and peaceful coexistence. this charter is our collective rejection of a world without rules. our problem is, in the absence of rules. our problem is the lack of willingness to abide by the men to enforce them. but the image of a world without rule sleeves as his trade for 2nd reason. if we do not defend further develop and strengthen our global order together than it is in chaos without rules that we have faced by the world in which the rules are made by those who can dictate them to us by dint of their military, economic or political power the alternative to a rule spaced world is not anarchy but the dominion of the strong over the weak. however, the vast majority of us cannot be indifferent to whether the rule of power or the power of rules wins the day. the key.
