9:03 pm
of the bright shide flaps attack. and we are here in this position where we don't yet know exactly what the motivation was bitten by, the motive at 21 by which makes it. first of all, i would like to express my deepest sympathy for the victims for those affected and for their families. and to express our collective shock at what has happened here. but hippa, he did, he seized is a female teacher who was in berlin with cold children from the state of hair, sir, in west central germany. many of her students were among the injured there was a lot of casualties that people injured over that area will be focused on by the emergency services. i saw human being putting in put into a, an ambulance. they were looked like they were telling somebody then yes, when someone is at the traffic lights at the metro station chest that the pedestrian crossing and tries slowly and, and accelerates. den for me,
9:04 pm
it was done on purpose, finishes up. this day incident happened very near to scene of another tragedy in december 2016. and it's jamie's job, his truck into a crowd at a christmas market, killing 12 people and enjoying dozens, a painful memory revived by today's incident. and our reporter benjamin alvarez gruber, he is at the scene there. weird that incident took place in berlin. benjamin. what do we know about the people that were injured to night? we just heard it in the report. the teacher there was scaled, was with those teenagers, with those students that were here in the capitalist school in has her, as we just heard. sadly, the sad coincidence is that the city where this group came from is only located a few kilometers away from a place where we had a car plowing into
9:05 pm
a carnival possession. in february of 2020. there are still people in hospital, the latest information that we got is that there are 20 people that are injured, 5 of them with life threatening injuries. and for many of those other injured people and for the family members and relatives and friends behind me, where you can see that there are still a lot of people standing there, get this psychological support as the investigation continues. yeah, the investigation who did yours? because people are still asking it or did, did the driver, did he mean to plow into the crowd of people or was this an accident? and what do we know tonight? that's right. it's not still clear a police asked the public to not speculate on what happened according to eye witnesses. the car went out from the street on to the side, work them back to the street and on that side it turned to the right and into a shop there. the driver was taken away by those shop as they were there and
9:06 pm
whether handed over to police. so it's still open whether it was an accident or it was deliberate investigation is still ongoing. and we hope to hear later today any updates by police and by those who have been here at the scene since the early morning. and benjamin took us, there was a service for the victims of this incident to do. what can you tell us about that? as absolutely right, there was a service where the mayor of the lyn francisca gift, they also attended with several local and regional politicians. i spoke to one of the people that was in that in that little yeah, commemoration. there was here that the session that in the church, this church is session and they told me they lasted around 20 men as though a lot of passer buys. that also attended this church serve as it was public, several other politicians and family members that may also have gathered there that
9:07 pm
happened here at around 7. and there were a lot of people of course, since the news came and the information that this happened here at the bright shad plots at a place that saw this it terrific terror sock it this christmas market a few years ago with many of course immediately having those images in their had and is we're waiting for the confirmation to hear what actually happened were, were the motives off air. this 29 year old there was arrested many immediately think back to the time and here next to this area. there are also some protections they were installed after that terror attack. yeah, i think a lot of people were thinking back to that christmas market attack and asking themselves if this was going to be a repeat of that or correspond to benjamin alvarez gruber to nice and downtown berlin. benjamin, thank you. we're now to the war in ukraine, talks to day between russia and turkey's talk. diplomats on how to get grained out
9:08 pm
of you. great, and have yielded no breakthroughs. ukraine was not representative. these talks, brushes, foreign minister, sergey lab. robert says that moscow is ready to ensure the safety of ships leaving ukrainian ports, but ukraine says it will not remove mines from waters around the port city of odessa, citing the threat of russian attacks, tens of millions of tons of wheat, corn and sunflower were or are basically trapped in the ports after rush of what he did ukraine's coastline 3 months ago. both sides blame each other for laying sea minds of the black sea coast. there was a press conference in encore at turkey today after those talks, this is what turkey's foreign minister said about the still me, the other good i could is it, i'd like to say that the global food crisis is a real crisis. we should not look at it as only exporting ukrainian green products,
9:09 pm
graduated inject hollywood, we should look at it as exposing both ukrainian and that russian green products and fetch eliza buck mccloud. i spoke with her corresponded dorian jones. it is stem bull. earlier he described held turkeys, foreign minister, as well as russia's foreign minister. they don't appear to have the same view when it comes to getting ukrainian grain. the countries that need it well as i inches seeing a russian farm in cecilia oliver av didn't seem to share the, the world's urgency over getting this suit grain into the international market. saying that the world soaring we price is, is nothing to do with the ukrainian conflict. it says he said, the region only counts for less than one percent of global. i'll put now that was immediately contradicted by the turkish farm as some ever chavel shola who said that is, is that really very important issue? but lack of didn't really seem to have a urgency. he said that they are in the process of opening up ports. the to the, to a russian forces have, sees, and these
9:10 pm
a ukraine was welcome to send their wheat to those fulton and export them from there. now that's an obvious, no go from key of point of view. and a lateral said if they want to send it from their own ports and they have to d mind the faults to allow the ships to leave. now, keith is very reluctant to do that because it fears russia will use as an opportunity to attack odessa. this key port, which has so far, been protected by these mines. so at the moment it does seem to be little progress has be made, travel shola did say that they had, they are close to reaching a mechanism that would allow ships, a common go and address washing concerns at any ships going to ukraine won't carrying arms, but we seem of far, far away from the ever coming to force at the moment. and this will reiterate fears and concerns at moscow is possibly using this soaring weight. we price crisis as further leverage on the international community. was doria jones, the recording from istanbul after weeks of intense fighting, ukrainian forces have retreated to the outskirts of the city of several. don't ask
9:11 pm
their regions. governor saying that fighting in the industrial city continues. russian forces are also showing the twin city of this. he shots, which is still held by ukraine. russia now controls over 90 percent of the state of the hans, one of the 2 provinces that make up the don bass region. the kremlin has made taking the eastern region, the don bass, it's top priority. all right, let's continue with the story now and go to our correspondence. connolly. he is in the port city of odessa. good evening to you, dick. so the local governor there says that the russians now largely control not just the city of several donors, but also the entire lu hans reach it. but how big of a blow is this then to ukraine? when the russians are making steady gains will be at a very, very small scale. i think it has to be remembered time time again that russia started this war aiming to take the whole country in a matter of days. first,
9:12 pm
they failed in the north to take care of them. they failed to take heart, give you credit. second. psyche city in the east only about 40 comes from the board and now they've thrown everything they have at that very small, short stretch of the front lines in dumbass. and they are making progress, but much, much slower than they had hoped. basically, experts have been predicting as sort of the nets to fall for weeks now and it just hasn't happened. now we hear from the region that about temp sent the city largely industrial areas remain in ukrainian hands. and i think that will be seen as a tactical when for the cranes, they basically bound so many russian troops there that they've managed to slow them down so long. the russians of the going for basically all out because there's a rush today, big holiday and a couple days time. and we've heard that russian generals now under lot of pressure from their commanders to have something to show for all their efforts and all the russian deaths after had san 1st few days and marable of some months into this will . russia basically hasn't overrun any major city, so real pressure on them to make
9:13 pm
a difference as the ukrainians. i think that has to be predicted. i think they will be happy that they've forced the russians to spend so many days and weeks trying to get it nickel. what about this talk of ukraine planning a counter offensive this month? is ukraine? is it in a position to actually do their i think it's not quite there yet, as we've seen tom tom again with these arguments in these pretty open diplomatic disagreements between ukraine and lots of european partners. germany included about the scale and the speed of weapons deliveries. ukraine really, basically building all its hopes on choose restocking of arms on a scale, previously unthinkable. at the same time as russia is using, it's ammunitions it's weapon systems and huge numbers losing it. it's a, it's estimated about 2 or 3 times more soldiers than the ukrainians day for day, often sending them into very, very dangerous battles just to take small bits of terror. trutina. so lots of russian commanders generals losing their lives as they're being sent into the
9:14 pm
trenches to the front lines. so the expectation here is that time is working in ukraine's favor. if you crank and hold out and make russia pay a high price for a few kilometers here in a few, clamps there. and then by the end of the summer, when those western arms really reach here in big numbers, they'll be able to deal with a weakened and tired russian opponent and pushed them back to the borders of ukraine. and let me ask you the question, of course, how to get all of this grain out of ukraine. me for that to happen. moscow says that ukraine asked a d mine it's harbors. do you see any chance of that happening? i think it's very, very unlikely. that's been happening time soon. there just isn't the trust here that the russians won't take advantage of a di mind access to odessa, say where i am now. a city that has huge relevance is future, symbolic in terms of the history will, will, to, in terms of the kind of russian imagination somewhere that the russian leadership would dearly like to take from ukraine. and given russia's claims that there was no plan to invade ukraine. back in january, february, i think the idea that the kremlin now says it wouldn't take advantage of that is
9:15 pm
not something that's really given any a credence to we've heard from me to collaborate ukraine's foreign minister. he's called for anti anti, but ship rockets, more of them for ukraine to be able to defend its coasts, in case if those mines go, the russians do decide to come in. and also some kind of guarantees from countries like turkey that are trying to mediate here, that if russia were to disrespect disagreement that they would also commit some kind of military force. it's protecting ukraine's board. it's very difficult to see that turkey would want to go there, given that it's really enjoying at the moment in this fall, as we're as the basic, the only country that has good relations with the western and russia, and with ukraine and russia. so it's a difficult situation and one in which, which getting reports daily from the occupied territories and ukraine of russia taking out grain in huge quantities to then sell basically illegally on the gray market under fateful forge documents as russian grain to countries like turkey and other middle eastern countries, so a pretty at da situation and with the harvest here in a couple of weeks time expected in this part of the country. lots of new grain and
9:16 pm
know where to put it and farmers going unpaid. yeah. so horrible situation for everyone are corresponding to connelly tonight in odessa. nick, thank you. an advisor to the ukrainian government has told the w news that it is essential that western countries do not take their eye off of this war. it's part of this week's conflict zone with tim sebastian. in your view, how critical is the situation right now? how vital is it for you to hold on, for instance, to the eastern city of savior, a dan yeske? it is important because ah, if they take these territories, it would give them opportunities to go further. and of course, they are not going to stop only on the bus, they would go to a desk, they would go to heart again. and there is a high risk then they will attack key as well. and again, like,
9:17 pm
i think it's also crucial to understand how this work looks like, like it is very, you know, conventional positional board is basically brings us in it's manner to not even 2nd world war, but the 1st one, basically it's trenches warfare where a tillery plays the major roles and queuing thousands of people. so for us it's crucial to keep the attention of the rest on what is going on in the east. and you can see that entire interview on conflict zone at the end of this news cast . or you can watch it online at d, w dot com slash conflicts on. now let's take a look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. in tenicia, dozens of lawyers and judges have rallied outside the capitals courts following the dismissal of 57 judges. president side has come under fire for interfering with the judiciary. as he tightened his grip on power,
9:18 pm
the president dissolved parliament in april after sacking the government last year . belgium's he felipe is on a 6 day trip to the democratic republic of congo. it seen as a chance for reconciliation between the 2 nations. during belgium's colonial rule, millions of congolese were killed mutilated, or died of disease as the land was pillaged for resources. you can human rights groups have launched the last minute court bid to block the british government plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the deportations purportedly aim to stop migrant boat crossings from france. the 1st play load is set to leave the u. k. as early as next week, the european parliament has voted in support of banning the sell of new fossil fuel powered cars and vans in the european union beginning in the year 2035. the proposal would require all new vehicles sold from that year on to be 0. c o. 2
9:19 pm
emissions is part of the raft of measures intended to help europe reach its emissions reduction targets. but european government still need to sign off on this proposal before it can become wall. if more now we want to go to our corresponded teary shultz. she's in brussels. she's been following this forest. good evening to you, terry. so in just over 10 years, we're talking about in 2035, no more cars are trucks emitting harmful greenhouse gases, and this would be the end of the combustible engine in europe. that is the goal of the european parliament draft legislation. how significant then is today's vote? well, it would be a huge step brent in, in getting the european union to its pledge of being carbon neutral by the year 2050. and that's because, as you mentioned, you would no longer be able to, to buy gas and diesel powered vehicles. so it would be a huge change for consumers. it would obviously be
9:20 pm
a huge change for automakers. and of course, advocates of this measure hope that it would be a huge change for the environment as cars produce, about 12 percent of europe's emissions overall. but as you mentioned in this, cannot be overstated. it still needs to get past 27, you governments, and some of them are not always climate forward and not, not always supporting counter climate change, leisure legislation. but we should also remember that with the new directness of fossil fuels, funding vladimir putin's war machine and ukraine. there has been a lot of change in some of these govern government view. so that may well have helped propel the measure through the european parliament today. and it may help it also get through the 27 governments. and i understand the pushback today came from mainly from a conservative. why was that? is some politicians argued that this is not a good measure, that it wouldn't make such a big difference in the environment that it was worth. the cost these people argued
9:21 pm
to industry. they said, particularly in germany, would be heard as one of the key players in, in europe, automaker industry. they said that in the end, consumers would also be hurt because this will cost jobs. they talked about how difficult it would be for infrastructure to make charging stations ubiquitous around europe. and they also said it was happening too fast just a dozen years from now. that is a pretty swift change. but interestingly, brent, as some of those actors in favor of this, our automakers board and mercedes and volvo have actually come out in favor of banning combustion engines. and they would do so even if they weren't forced to do so legally. so now it really remains to be seen what the $27.00 you government say, because without their approval it will not become law. but we should know this in very few weeks or, or a couple of months. so this will be interesting. again, i think the impact of the war in ukraine may well change mines on this. it's interesting to that the car makers want those requirements to be in the form of
9:22 pm
legislations. we went to thought that's right. you years ago, jerry fulton, brussels as always period. thank you. or to night india is facing international criticism. after spokespersons for the ruling b, j. p. party made derogatory comments about the prophet muhammad gulf states and the wider muslim world have condemned in the us. some are demanding an official apology . the b j. p has distance itself from the 2 party members, calling them fringe elements. and it says that they've been disciplined that has not tempered the anger. however, muslim activists taking to the streets of india and in neighboring pakistan, protesting what they see as the latest insults from india's ruling party against their religion. but this time, the outrage is coming from foreign governments to katara kuwait,
9:23 pm
indonesia and malaysia, have all summoned their indian ambassadors to protest and saudi arabia also lodge complaints anger to from the organization of islamic co operation. the i o c. it said these cases of defamation are part of a growing spate of hatred and defamation of islam in india and systematic practices against indian muslims. the outcry is focused on new poor sharma who as a spokeswoman for prime minister now hender modi's b. j. p. party made remarks seen as insulting his lands prophet muhammad and his wife, the b. j. p. took no action until the sudden chorus of diplomatic anger. the party has now suspended sharma membership and expelled another spokesman. but one observer has told dw news that baiting muslims is in the b j p's. dna. it's partly would be what it is and white me, it's a part of that got ideology. and that's why since last atheist, it was,
9:24 pm
was the moldy became the prime minister. ah, this demonization of the, of the muslim and the one additional bessler's agreement as ition up minorities had become such as that a big issue in this country. the outcry has also taken on an economic dimension with shop owners and some muslim states boycotting indian goods. but it's doubtful that could impress hindu nationalists. there might we look at the screen, but the good will remain the same. i don't think the code will change. physiology might change, the language might change. but the targeting of the muslims who can still the international outcry seems to have forced india's b j p onto a road. it was not expecting to take snouts those lucrative dinosaurs. the jurassic park film franchise is one of holly woods, most lucrative cash cows. and there's more milking on the way with the final installment of jurassic world, dominion critic say that the special effects of this film are simply out of this
9:25 pm
world. ah, don't move figure. why to they always have to go bigger. well, it is one way to sell tickets. jurassic world dominion takes us to a planet earth where dinosaurs are everywhere. fighting with humans for global domination. the final chapter in the story that began 29 years ago with jurassic park, that film created a new standard for special effects. who knew just how long the saga with last eat me? one year it's been turns out it wasn't quite that simple. 9 baron, grant laura dern and sam meal are back for this final showdown, and maybe even romance you come in or what?
9:26 pm
jeff gold bloom's back to. if somebody told me 29 years ago, 30 years ago, almost on that i'd be here offering our new 6 version of this movie that would have thought that was crazy. as crazy as human versus dyna warfare. if the world's gonna survive that we can do day clock might be about out of town. the original jurassic park cast is joined by jurassic worlds. chris cracked pratt's character has a soft spot for some of the dinosaurs. the ones who don't try to kill her. i promise i am going to get back the story line of drastic world dominion doesn't always make sense, but maybe that's beside the point, the action and then estallion are enough to pretty much guarantee the franchise will go out with a box office bang t as
9:27 pm
a med makes you want to be called a dinosaur art. here's a reminder of the top stories this hour. a man has driven his car into crowds at a busy shopping area. here in berlin, hitting a german school group, a teacher was killed. many of her students injured the driver is in police custody there working to determine if the driver acted deliberately or whether it was an accident. the city w news conflict zone is up. next i'll see you at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day with with
9:29 pm
i'm the bottom of the intensify my guess. this week from brussels is new boss to both got advisor to ukraine's armed forces. how long can care rely on western arm? that'd be a nation. who couldn't really trust conflicts own next on d, w o . well, go to the dark side where intelligence agencies are pulling the strings. there was a before 911 and and after 911 he says after 911, the clubs came off. where organized crime rules were conglomerates and make their own laws. they invade our
9:30 pm
private lives through surveillance. hidden opaque, secretive works through what's big. it doesn't matter. the only criteria is worked. we'll hook people up. we shed light on the opaque worlds who's behind the benefits. and why are they a threat to whistle? open worlds this week on d, w. more than a 100 days of war and ukraine battles are intensifying. ukraine's losses have been severe. since invading russia has occupied a 5th of the country and is pounding least in dumbass, which it seems determined to occupy. how long can care rely on western arms and ammunition.
