[000:00:00;00] the mrs. dw news live from berlin. protests, our growing against germany is far right. organizers saying you're the one and a half 1000000 people rallied against the alternative for germany party across the country over the weekend. also on the show, at least 25 people are killed by shelling and russian controls. eastern ukraine authorities in the city of damascus, blame ukrainian forces for the attack, which struck a busy market. and israel's prime minister rejects him off as conditions for the

release of hostages. benjamin antonia who is under growing pressure at home, thousands, riley, and television, managing an end to the fighting and gaza and fresh election. the american evans being welcome, the organizers say more than 1400000 people have taken part in demonstrations against the far right across germany. over the weekend in munich, the raleigh has to be cut short because of over crowding. the protests were announced with more than $100.00 locations nationwide. here in berlin, thousands of people demonstrated outside the parliament. the outrage follows reports that members of the alternative for germany party had a meeting with far right extreme as to discuss plans for mass deportation of migrants and citizens with

a foreign route or political correspondent, thomas ferro was at the demonstration in berlin, and he joins us now for more and good to see you, thomas. so give us a sense of wants to protest in the german capital was like so who were the people who came out today and what was their overarching message? so the organizers presented the protest today here in by the nose and alliance of different organizations, mainly civil society organizations. but what was evident today in the streets here in the late in the center of building was that it was more than just civil society organizations. you could see all the people coming to the pro, just as well, families with the jump, young children holding different messages and buying those. and what i think unites all of these people who attended this protest and not far away from where we're

standing now, is that rejection of the fall, right potty, a, f d. in particular, after those revelations, that you mentioned that secret meeting there was attended by members of the a, if the with extreme is to present that mazda plan for most people, patients here in germany is the i, the actually comes to power. so this is such a late, what united them all here. the big question mariana is what impact this will have in the short term but also in the medium to long term as well. well, in thomas, as we also mentioned, there wasn't only in berlin, there were an estimated 1400000 people that turned out to protest all over germany and different cities throughout the weekend. and it really seems like it's as if something has hit a nerve. why do you think it is in this moment? something that people care about so deeply it absolutely hates on the, on us here in, in gemini the you can see that by the fact that he had so many protests and not only to big cities like but late, no hamburger cologne,

but also in smaller cities across the country, it has to do, obviously, with the fact that you have any, has this very difficult is troubling and appropriate magic passed on. a meeting of far right extreme is that a planning a mazda plant to be put millions of foreigners actually brought back memories of that very doc past. it's actually very problematic to think that the meeting in november took pods only a few kilometers away from whether or not there's a 1942 planned the final solution. and that is something that is for many here outrage of something that could not happen again. something that could not be repeated. so that's, i think the main reason why these approaches hit on up here in germany. but it also has to do with the fact that the a, if the is actually 2nd in nationwide polls here in the countries around 22 percent is actually leading in paul's and the eastern part of the country. what regional elections will be held later in the in time, as you mentioned it yourself. the big question of course, is whether these protests are going to have an impact on how people actually end up

voting. what's your take? do you think this kind of mass movement of people is likely to turn at least some away from the 54? could it have the opposite effect? experts will ex but the saying, marty, i know that it probably won't change the minds of those who have voted for the i if the for a long time now. so voters, that would not necessarily think that these allegations of these revelations could change things. but what experts think that that could be a change is in people who are undecided, so undecided voters who probably are now thinking that they can go to the polls, even if it is to vote against the a. if the, so this is what experts actually do, see a possibility for, for change. it will be interesting, however, to see whether these protests continue in the next few weeks in the next few months, the electrons and the regions in the eastern part of the country are actually in september. so this still quite some time to go. it will be interesting to see how this movement here in the late 90. no,

the parts of the country will continue in the near future. thank you very much for that, thomas. that was the w. a political correspondent, thomas barrow for us in berlin. turning now to ukraine, where a 25 people have reportedly been killed in the east of the country and the russian occupied city of 10. that's russia's for a ministry blamed ukrainian forces for showing a busy area with many shops and a market. there's been no immediate comment from the government in keys. the w correspondents and they connelly in keys gave us this update a short time ago or well, 1st of all, we have, as you mentioned, is not had any official comment from the ukrainian government that have been that ukrainian new travelers. people who occasionally will can translate couple messages who have accused the russians. this being kind of failed rush and strike on ukrainian positions. not that far away. this is the western fringe of doing it

successfully. the front lines on not very far away, and the version with, which is one of many for now, is it could have been a russian project on me. so, or shell that didn't mean to reach its target that felt early that it was meant to . but for now, there's no way of verifying this, by the way, the subsea russian control chart truth if we can't access. but it is important say that this is a fairly rare occurrence for the fact that done yet has been on the front lines basically since 2014. you don't often see lots of life on this scale. we've had a word from the russian authorities there before the 20 injured. it seems like those numbers could still arise. pretty gruesome images doing the rounds on social media and provide splits like how to keep for the pro, you printing controlled cities. that all the sites have regular missile strikes, the desk has been comparatively safe. and certainly when they're all shillings food, lots of lots, even on this scale. so this is pretty unusual stuff. and now, nick, we're getting reports of another incident which i'd like to talk about with you

that one to place inside russia where a suspected ukrainian drone attack caused a fire and an oil storage depot near the baltic sea. now the terminal owner said the blaze was caused by what he described as external influence and said that some operations have been suspended. and this port is located just outside st. petersburg. euclid re crane has claimed responsibility for 2 separate attacks on russian oil depos earlier this week. so nick, can you tell us anything about these drone attacks inside russia of the what we're seeing quite a lot in the way of video material doing around on russian social media of it? is that a pitch show a blaze? oh, well, so drone kind of getting close in nearing to that facility and that come characteristics sound of the drones engines. i think it was only a matter of time before this kind of thing started happening on the biggest scale.

so russia trying to hit the cranes economy last year by striking those green terminals. odessa, trying to we can ukraine's economy so it counts support. it's all me. i now right rushed assuming, facing the same from ukraine. i mean, it's really important stress here that russia has seen sanctions do a lot of damage to its export of oil and gas by pipeline, but not by sea. the sanctions that apply to see boeing, exports of oil and that so look 5 gas. it also goes out by tanka, so that's something that you can still hasn't been able to make much of a dental. and in the past, we've seen this tax and the black sea and also in for the north in russia. but none of that have really seemed to have kind of a chief meal. you'd often see a one reservoir and fire, but we're continuing at fairly nearby that seems to be different. this time it seems like it was possible to make enough damage to really put this in seattle, actually some pot for quite some time. and now we have to remember that the gas terminal near st. petersburg is more than

a 1000 kilometers away from kids. so if you crane is indeed behind this attack, nick, what does it tell us about its capabilities, and are we going to see more of this sort of thing in the future? certainly it seems to suggest that these efforts and has been seized crowdfunding as well as the kind of government's efforts here in ukraine to develop drones that can go further to the can. you're basically get a get pulse that 1000 kilometers of distance between ukraine and those targets around st. petersburg. i think it also tells you that rushes and defenses are increasingly stretched. lots of it is concentrated in not spices ok bye to tertiary here in ukraine, and they just don't have enough to go around, protects the main cities and infrastructure. and i think is a real sense, but you can give them, but you know, things on the front lines aren't moving as fast as k of would want. and the russians have dug in is not going to try and take this will to the streets of russia and to really impact versus economy, but also to show to assistance that this isn't some far away conflict. this is something that could affect that day lives. and that no way rush,

it basically is safe just as nowhere and ukraine sex. that was dw correspondence, may connelly reporting from kids. nick as always, thank you. is rails prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected the latest conditions and by hum us for the release of hostages held in awesome. just comes after a weekend of protests calling on these really government to do more to bring the hostages home. this was the scene and tel aviv late saturday were thousands of people gather to protest against the countries leadership. many are calling for new elections. it's now more than 3 months. is israel launched as counter offensive and gaza after the unprecedented cross border attacks by hamas on october 7th. from us is classified as a terrorist organization by most western countries. we can now speak to journalists assembly, so cool, who joins us from jerusalem. so somebody is really prime minister has just issued

a statement saying that he's rejecting the latest demands from the militant group come off over hostage releases. what's more, can you tell us about his statement? so? so this statement is a very clear. he's saying that this is when would the release the, the prison is the how mosse is demanding, would stop the war, would withdrawal and take out the forces from the gaza strip. and then that would mean that all the soldiers that have died on pins now and back to their death would have been in fame. and that is what i would not be able to protect its borders. but i must say that we hear it here and is ram, a officials that are saying that israel will engage in talks. and we're talking about talks that according to the wall street journal,

it will take place in cairo as though for a countries that are behind them, which is united states, the egypt, and the cut, the they're trying to push the mouse and the israel to reach some agreement according to this agreement, there will be 90 days, they would be spread over 90 days and it will include the ceasefire and the gradual exchange of a prisoners. so we have to see where this will lead to and meanwhile, and gaza. the health industry there, which is run by hamas has said that more than 25000 people have died in the territory since the war began. i'm interested to hear just how much coverage there is in is rarely domestic media about the situation for palestinians and gaza. and if you can tell us what the public a mix of the situation there or yeah,

if you look at this say report, they also say that 75 percent of those who work in our is women and children and elderly and more than 60000 have been wounded when there's not the wide coverage of, of this a, of these kinds of figures in is run the kinds of images that you can see on networks throughout the world. the, what's happening inside the gaza strip. it do not usually appear on the screens over the is rarely and networks. but i would say that by large it v is really public. it doesn't feel it much assume to see it towards the gardens and many here say that they support from us. and they say that the public opinions have shown that both of thousands and west bankers have, has supported the attack on the 7th of october. and this is often an opinion that

you will hear the streets. that was dirt and journal, a semi circle of recording from jerusalem. many thanks indeed for your time. and that's the latest on d, w, and use this our a, mary, anna evans team from me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching the can you hear me? we are all set. we are watching to see all the to bring you the story behind the new your own about come by as information for free might do to me in
