the, the, this is dw news live from berlin, protest our growing against germany's far right organizers say nearly one and a half 1000000 people rallied against the alternative for germany party across the country over the weekend. also in the show, israel's prime minister rejects him off as conditions for the release of hostages. their families continue to protest adding pressure on benjamin antonia. and at least 25 people are killed by shelling and russian controlled eastern ukraine authorities in the city of damascus. blame ukrainian forces for the attack,

which struck a busy market. the marin evan. stan, it's good to have you with us. organizers say more than one point. 4000000 people have taken part in demonstrations against the far right across in germany. over the weekend. in new names of raleigh has to be cut short because of overcrowding. the protests were announced as more than $100.00 locations nationwide. in berlin, thousands of people demonstrated outside the parliament. the outrage follows reports and members of the alternative for germany party had a meeting with far right extreme is to discuss plans for the past due for a patient of migrants and citizens with foreign group. political correspondent thomas barrow was that the protest and the german capital incentives this report. so the organizers presented the protest today here in by the nose on

a lions of different organizations, mainly civil society organizations. but what was ever done today in the streets here in the late in the center of berlin 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, if the, if 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, and 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 says something has hit a nerve. why do you think it is in this moment something that people care about so deeply it absolutely hate that i know here in, in germany the, you can see that by the fact that he had so many protest i know don't lead in big cities like but they know handbook or 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 problematic passed on. a meeting of the far right extremists that are planning a mazda plan to be pulled, millions of foreigners actually brought back memories of that very doc past. it's actually a very problematic the thing that the meeting in november boss took pods only

a few kilometers away from where the nazis in 1942 planned the final solution. and that is something that is for many here outrage of something that cannot happen again. something that cannot be repeated. so that's i think the main reason why these pro just hits on up here in germany. but it also has to do with the fact that the, the is actually 2nd in nationwide polls here in the countries around 22 percent is actually leading in polls in the east and part of the country. what regional elections will be held later in the and thomas, you mentioned it yourself. and the 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 50 or 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 i of 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 on another part 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. this is really prime minister benjamin is anya who hasn't rejected conditions for the release of hostages, put forward by him. us. his statement follows a weekend of protests calling for the return of hostages held and gaza. thousands

of people demonstrated against atanya, whose handling of the prizes calling for early elections. antonia who said that her mazda and demands including the end of the war, the withdrawal of israeli forces, and leaving him off in control of goes up to mazda, is classified as a terrorist organization by most western countries. journalist savvy, so call in jerusalem, told me more about what these really prime minister said so so this statement is a very clear. he's saying that the case is, rand, would there 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, that will take place in cairo as though for 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 they will include the ceasefire and the garage. ready with the 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 to yeah, if you look into this say report, they also say that 75 percent of those who work in are in women and children and elderly and more than $60000.00. ready have been wounded when there's not the wide coverage of, of this a, of these kinds of figures in is around the kinds of images that you can see on networks throughout the world of 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 thousands and west bankers have 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 ukraine. 25 people have report a live in killed in the east of the country and the russian occupied city of them. that's russia's for ministry, blames ukrainian forces for showing a busy area with many shops as a markets. there's been no immediate comment from the government into the w correspondent and the economy and key of gave us this update earlier. well, 1st of all, we have, as you mentioned, not had any official comment from the ukrainian government that have been ukrainian

mid travellers. people who occasionally will can translate couple of messages who have accused the russians. this being kind of failed. russian strike on ukrainian position is not that far away. this is the western fringe of doing it successfully . the front lines are 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 reach its target that felt earlier that it was meant to. but for now, there's no way of verifying this, by the way, the subsea version control chart truth if we can't access. but it is important say that this is a fairly rarer code 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 were for the 20 injured it seems like those numbers could still arise pretty gruesome images doing the rounds on social media and provides a place like how to keep the pro printing controlled cities. that all the sites

have regular missile strikes. the disk has been comparatively safe and certainly when they're all shillings food, lots of like even on the scales. 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 well, we're seeing quite a lot in the way of video material. dig around on russian social media videos,

that's a page show a blaze. oh, well, so drones kind of new getting close and nearing to that facility in 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 invested trying to we can ukraine's economy, so it called 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 pipelines, but not by sea. the sanctions don't apply to see bone exports of oil and that so look 5 gas. it also goes out by tanka, so that's something that ukraine still hasn't been able to make much of a dental. and in the past, we've seen the 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 mil you'd often see a one rid of wall and fire, but we're continuing at fairly nearby that seems to be different. this time it

seems like it was possible to make and enough damage to really put this in seattle, actually some parts 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 chief crowdfunding as well as the kind of government's efforts here in ukraine to develop drugs that can go further to the can your basic can get a get past that 1000 kilometers of distance between ukraine and those targets around st. petersburg. i think it also tells you that russia's defenses are increasingly stretched. lots of it is concentrated in spite of ok bye to tertiary here in ukraine, and they just don't have enough to go around to put it's their main cities and infrastructure. and i think it's a real sense that 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. i don't know where i rush, it basically is safe just as nowhere. and ukraine said that was dw correspondents and they connelly reporting from kids. nick as always, thank you. and we in the show with some spectacular footage. here you can see an asteroid burning over berlin in the early hours of sunday, creating a fiery trail across the night sky. astronomers discovered the space rock and its trajectory just hours before it entered the earth's atmosphere. nasa is treated a warning referring to it as a harmless fireball. some fragments of the small asteroid may have reached the ground in tax and could be scattered

a few kilometers west of the german capital. you're up to date on the w. news up next is doc film, a marion evan scheme from me and the entire news team. thanks to the company the to be use do for fun. via do gravitational waves squeeze out body. how do i the drums for the to the feet? and what's the perfect kill fox side, find the on says get smaller with dw signs on the picked up channels. the.
