for the family, ah ah ah, this is the w. news ly, from berlin, tens of thousands of holiday makers left stranded, a strike by ground staff forces lufthansa to cancel flights across germany. many passengers gone to the airport only to find their flights grounded. bratia reduces gas supplies to europe even further through its biggest single pipeline to the continent. germany calls moscow's move, a power plight po for yosemite national park, a giant blaze threatening its ancient trees, ships,

direction. thousands of residents evacuate, but fire fighters are making progress. and 50 years on from the munich olympics massacre, the german government is to finally compensate families of the victims. ah, i'm been fizzle and welcome. a strike in germany has ruined the holiday plans of a whole lot of unaware travelers, ground staff force the made airline. he looked guns at to cancel over a 1000 flights frankfurt and munich of the main airports affected, but also dusseldorf, hamburg bowl in bremen, hanover stood guard, and collared some. 130000 passengers are facing disruption in the next few days. workers want a pay rise, holiday plans and business trips put on hold. no one left to work. the counters

would be looked hansa passengers at frankfurt airport, or stuck with almost no ground staff to help them and their luggage reached their destinations. i got a cancellation message this morning were traveling but nothing more. i've tried to reach them by, by check by my phone. but nothing not coming through. we have to stay in line and see if we get a flight back and hope we get a flight back because we are going to start school. and then also our parents, they're traveling to nigeria. so it's like we wouldn't if we don't get a flight back in like a few days, then we won't be able to see them for like almost 3 months because we haven't seen them. the striking workers say they have plenty of reasons to ask for higher wages . staff shortages have increased their workload as has the search and travel as pandemic restrictions loosen. but after 2 rounds of bargaining, they still haven't gotten what they wanted. does that song,

a boy tell by the last offer, looked handsome, made was not enough to stop. the strike had been lufthansa also hasn't improved its offer in recent days. so the employees see the necessity to go on strike today. by video for weeks, we have seen an immense workload at airports across germany. so this is a clear signal from the employs ignited in the bush if dish nevada. lufthansa has pointed the finger at the workers for demanding too much and putting a burden on travelers. organizers say the strike should last just over 24 hours, but they're prepared for further walk outs. if lufthansa doesn't meet their demands, a correspondent christy plants and his ad frankfurt airport and explains why this strike may not be the last. well, what we know is that a love tanza and though latan the union do plan to continue negotiations next week . but the union has said that if their demands are not matter that if they're not, if they're not offered a, an offer that they're happy with,

they are willing to strike again one of their main sticking points for, for a, with the most recent offer, from the of lufthansa is that part of the pay raise that lufthansa is willing to offer is tied to the condition that the company is profitable. so that will of basically mean that if they, if they are profitable than these employees won't get perez, we obviously know we're dealing with record high flayson here in europe as elsewhere. and for the workers who are just completely overwhelmed by the demand from this this post coven summer season. and that's just not acceptable to them. they said they are willing to strike again. we should say, this isn't the 1st strike. we've seen the summer. we also saw a few weeks ago strikes from scandinavian airlines also strikes from airlines in france as well. and we also heard today that ryanair is planning a strike in august as well. it's been a very chaotic season for european air travel. pretty much the same issues that a lot of times as employees are dealing with and are complaining about our, our issues for the whole industry and actually a little of tons of spokesperson we spoke to earlier. said as much himself. he said

this is not just issue for lufthansa. it's an issue for the whole industry up. so are worth in the thick of the european vacation season right now. and it doesn't look like these issues are going to be clearing up any time soon. christy buds and reporting for frankfort russian energy giant gas prom has cottage gas supplied to germany through the notes frame pipeline. germany's network albright a confirmed that flows have dropped through just 20 percent of the normal volumes. the cuts will make it difficult for germany to fillets reserve tanks before the winter, and further reductions could trigger emergency plans to ration gas. but the french government now says it could help out supplying 2 percent of germany's needs over the winter. dw business reporter and foreman, moscow corresponding our tilton is here. aaron, how would that little offer of help from the french help in this huge problem for germany? well, it is very little offer, considering the huge hole that because in germany's energy budget,

should russia actually turn off the star gas taps? you have to remember germany, which is the european union's economic heart land. it's industrial heartland. you know, it depended upon russia for on 50 percent of all its gas. so, you know, getting to percent is only a drop in the proverbial bucket. but to be honest, it does help the german government to a certain extent, because the situation we're in right now is mosque. i was attempting to put pressure on berlin to remove its support for the war and ukraine. that's what this is really about. it's not about businesses of political pressure, they're using gas as a political weapon. and by getting this promise of support, it at least shows that the governments of europe are, i'm willing to stand together. they're going to face this political pressure. so it helps in that regard. but it really doesn't get at the heart of the issue in the fact that russia, germany rather is dependent upon russia for its energy needs. but is a complete cut off in most of those interests. i mean, is it a huge amount of money? it's making from high edgy prices right now. you're right. actually, they're making more money right now than they were before the start of the war in

ukraine. i don't know if they're in the go for a false cut off that actually depends upon how we react to right now. and by we, i mean the public at large and the politicians in the european union react to this threat. i mean, moscow is already said that they're most likely going to start pumping more gas or other pipelines to europe. what we're seeing right now is a little bit of a push i like and it quite often to judo. of course, vladimir putin is a high ranking judo player, and i do think, you know, that that experience informs his on foreign policy. he likes to push people see which way they're going to tumble and then go in for the real attack. so right now what they're doing is they're pushing politicians, they're pushing consumers basically saying, look, we can, these prices go even higher than they did before. and they want to see how they react. and that, and how we react to that situation is really going to determine whether or not we face a long term gas cut. moving to the future, moving into the winter, when jude, or you need to have a strategy. don't cheat does, does germany or europe have some sort of strategy should not come to an attack?

well, you know, if you ask the european energy ministers, they say that they do, you know, they say that they're gonna cut gas by 15 percent. and today we're so even that small isn't as incredible as a drop in the bucket. again, it's not really going to do that much. and at the same time, germany said it's going to focus right now on encouraging owners of buildings to do some type of energy or energetic reconstruction to buildings for the use less energy. but that's all kind of a distraction. i mean, energy prices are spiraling up. i mean right now, you know, i'm just moving house. my old gas contract use a cost $50.00 a month. now if you get a new contract for heating gas, you're talking about paying $31991.00 euros a month. it's charlotte by a factor of 8, and unfortunately, they don't really seem to have a good strategy to deal with that pressure right now. until to thanks for bringing us up to date. i'm sure we'll have you back in here very soon. if you will, turkey has opened a new coordination center to oversee the export of ukrainian great russia. ukraine

of signed a deal to unblock shipments from ukrainian boats. the 2 nations jointly supplied nearly a 3rd of the world's wheat before the war. the blockade has seen global food prices search dw dorian jones was at the opening of the new coordination center in the symbol that explains how it will work. well, this center is key to the implementation of the steel. those signed on friday between russia, ukraine, united nations and turkey. this will be the harp where all the activities will be monitored co, so you'll have us, as you see behind me, there was a map showing the black sea and there they will monitor the convoys of ship cargo ships leaving the ukrainian 3 ukrainian port led by ukrainian pilots who will guide them through the heavily mine waters. from there, the center will then monitor the ships as they progress across the black sea to is

stumble and then on to well market. the center also plays a crucial role in terms of an alt searching all ship before they reach the ukrainian port. this is the key, the amount of moscow. they fear that they'd be ship to possibly use to carry wetlands to the ukraine. and this center will be ensuring that that doesn't happen . ah, this is all, there is a great deal of skepticism about this operation. the fact that of the short launched a missile attack on saturday against odessa, a diesel port which was seen as a violation. but at the same time, there's a recognition that this agreement, real easy, only hope at the moment of averting a major global famine. he's dorian jones in his symbol. let's go to d w's, but he has bellinger who's in odessa with his new coordination center up and running in turkey. when can we expect the fer shipments to leave port? that's hard to say, but there would the corridors will basically according to the ukrainian side open

already within the next few days. maybe you are already tomorrow. everything is ready here in or you can is getting ready. the pause have been reopened in order to proceed with these shipments. that's what the ukranian side says, and now we need of course, the turkish ships to leave is stumble and get on the way here they will travel in a column or together. that's what we have been hearing so far, but of course this, this strike on the port that last week. and that of course is adding to the insecurity. and we will see probably one of the next few days, whether this is really happening or not. in other developments, ukrainian artillery have struck a bridge crossing the nepa river in there has on region, which is a part of a crucial supply room full russian forces. can you give us more details on that? yeah, it's not only a crucial supply road, it's the main supply road. so the nip is very broad there. this is very close to

where it enters the sea. and harrison is on the north side of the deeper and the supplies they're coming from crimea that is south. so all the supplies will have to cross this river. and there's only this one bridge near here on the next possibility to cross the river. is a damn near nova hoffa. it's also one of the regions where ukraine has fired quite a few messiah, but not rightly at the damn. that would, of course, be a possibly dangerous. so there's basically one place at the whole line among hundreds of kilometers left. whereas convoys came across the river, so this is a significant blow to the russian defense of these occupied cherry trees. the latest there on the developments in ukraine from dw, but he is bullying reporting from odessa. thank you very much. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world. a powerful earthquake has

hit the northern philippines, killing at least 4 people, and injuring dozens. major tremors, damage buildings in the province of opera, and forced evacuations. in the capital manila, it is the strongest quake to hit the philippines in years. tenicia has approved a new constitution in a referendum mark by accusations of fraud and low voter turnout. changes grad unchecked powers to president chi saeed. but his critics accused the electoral board of falsifying turn out figures police in mexico city of made a major drugs bust authorities seized 1.6 tons of cocaine and hidden compartments into trucks. drugs believe to have come from columbia, they have a st value of around $20000000.00 us dollars. the german government is said to compensate families of the victims of the massacre at the 1972, william picks. terrorists killed 11 is by the athletes and the german police

officer surviving relatives have never been given an apology or allowed access to files on the incident. the german interior ministry is now hold and talks with the families of declined an invitation to an event marking 50 years since the atrocity let's bring in our political correspondence, simon young. the families of the victims of reportedly criticized the german government off of what's their issue exactly. yeah, that's right. been the anchor schmidt sir, who speaks for the families bereaved in this attack as describe the year amounts proposed by the german government as a unacceptable and insulting. and she's also reported saying that, you know, the families are upsetting and disappointed by these are offered. so if the position doesn't change, it seems very unlikely that the families will come to this proposed commemoration

of 50 years since the munich terror attack. that's due to happen in september. and, and i think also that they're criticizing the amount is not enough. they're also saying that to given the involvement of libya in the, in the attack, something like the treatment that was given to the victims of the 1988 lockerbie attack where libya was also involved that, that would be appropriate in, in that case, the families received $10000000.00 for each victim. can you remind me of what happened at at those mean a gainsville all that time ago? yeah, this was the 972 summer olympic games which were held in munich. and day year palestinian . tara group, the black september,

a group are members of that gained access to the athletes or accommodation. and they took members of these railey team hostage, and then there was then they are a yeah, bungled police operation to try and rescue them in all 11. israel is died and also at one german, a police officer, and of course it was a terrible tragedy. and the trauma that the failure to protect jewish lives on german soil was of course all the more traumatic and because of the history between germany and the jewish people. and then some of the failure to apologize. and it's taken all this time for, for some sort of compensation. well indeed is taken. no, this sog has been going on for 50 years to have been the have been compensation payments in the past in 1972 in d dead soon after the attack. some monies were paid and also again in

2002 in all about 4 and a half 1000000 euros has already been paid. but it's coming up to this 50th anniversary. the german interior minister says it's, it's wanted to look at all these matters. again, it's, it says that a big part of that is a, a commission of historians who experts from germany and israel looking into the historical facts. but also revisiting this question of for compensation. and i think care that there have been calls in germany, not just from the, from the victims, families, but also from politicians here and other groups in german society. so i think this matter is not closed case on young. they're on the german government. said to compensate families of the victims of the massacre of the 1970 to me a games. thanks for details. at least 15 people have been killed

during violent protests against the united nations in the democratic republic of congo. both demonstrators and you, when staff are among the dead. critics say a long standing un peacekeeping mission has failed to protect civilians from militia violence. the people of the democratic republic of congo have had to live with conflict and violence for decades. now some have turned against those assigned to protect them from it. the troops and the blue hats are from anesco. the un peacekeeping force, which served in the country for more than 20 years. but some believe they have failed to deal with the militia violence which has long brutalized, the eastern part of the country protests against the you and forces this week, organized by a youth wing of the country's ruling party, quickly turned deadly in the cities of goma. on dutempo, at least one un peacekeepers and 2 un police personnel were killed along with several protesters. the death toll is still rising. we add our voice to the acting

head of monasco cassim gen, to condemn the killing of our colleagues and express our deepest sympathy to their families and colleagues. mr. jang has described the violence against the un as absolutely unacceptable and counterproductive. given that the mission is in the country to work alongside local authorities, to protect civilians, deter armed groups and build a capacity of state institutions and services. but monasco forces are accused of shooting protesters, a potential breach of their mandate. have you done obama, his son? oh, what has just happened here is a piece keeper has killed one person here at their base, and he has injured another. we don't want them here anymore. that's yet to let them go to their homes. i never took enough google. i planned well was didn't go, is it a reuters journalist has reported seeing un peacekeepers shoot to people dead as protesters threw rocks and tried to set fire to you and building and goma the you

and says it will investigate those claims. obviously if there's any, ah, if there's any a responsibility by u. n. a of forces for any of the injuries or, or any of the death. we will, we will follow up on that but, but yes, we do 1st need to get to the truth of what was happening on the ground. we should, what is clear on the ground is that there is opposition to moscow. much of it directed by the country's government who have long wanted the you and force reduced or removed entirely. my mom because i'm up there tear gassing us because we came to say that moscow does not have both of us have been in congo for 22 years and nothing works. we can to demand our rights, but to shoot us with tear gas by land up. if we come up, it was in the fog of conflict in this country is dense. apportioning responsibility is a difficult task. but what is obvious to everyone on all sides? the piece is not being kept firefighters in the u. s. state of california say
