[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this d, w is coming to you live from berlin. russia's war again comes to occupied crimea. huge blasts kill at least one person on the military base deep inside brushing controlled territory. the key of official says it may be the work partisans, but russia calls the explosions. an accident ukraine's president began bows to return the peninsula to ukraine, also coming up anger among donald trump's supporters and republicans in washington

. after f. b i. agents searched the former president's estate as comes as trump prepares to testify in another investigation into his business dealings band and neck and neck race in kenya, early election results show votes are almost evenly divided between the 2 top contenders for the presidency. ah, hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. russia's war on ukraine is again impacting the occupied crimea peninsula. russian official, say explosions had an air based there have killed one person and injured several others. videos shared on social media show several large blasts at the noble federal facility rushes defense ministry says the explosions were detonations of stored ammunition and not the result of any attack. get denied any responsibility

for the incident. senior ukrainian official suggested the blasts may have been the work of saboteurs inside crimea. russia illegally. lx crimea in 2014, an action that ukraine's president laudermill zalinski says was directly connected to the current war. showing amanda today there's a lot of attention on the crimea issue and right the so because crimea is ukrainian and we will never renounce it. we will not forget that it was the occupation of crimea that was the beginning of the russian war against you kindly. our correspond mathias bellinger is following the story from cheers and joins us now. both russia and ukraine say that this was not a military attack or there on crimea. o mathias, what's it was that was about what your assessment well yeah, the ukrainian,

the ministry of defense as saying that it advises the people in occupied crimea to adhere to smoking, reggie regulations and russia, how sad it was an accident. but if you look at the video footage that people have shocked or from these explosions, then it's so very clear that an accidental fire is not very probable to explosions happening at the same time, at 2 different locations. that pretty much looks like an attack. ah, now who did it and why and how is another question over we have are several voices out of the ukrainian government suggesting that it might have either been a partisan attack or some kind of a rocket r u a v attack or this is very contradicted and that's probably intended because ukraine wouldn't want to give russia a clue about what has been happening and wouldn't or want russia to draw some consequences in further cases or some security regulations,

et cetera are from this. so we are at the moment or we don't really know what has happened, but it's pretty clear that this is a major strike on irrational military infrastructure there that was a, it was a big arrow drawn that was used ukrainians, save for a tax on their ukrainian or inner territories and or, or we have also seen these were big explosions. a lot of ammunition, several planes destroyed. so it's definitely a military. so the success for ukraine. and that's probably also the reason why russia is not admitting that it has been an attack because it would make, it would make look russia pretty vulnerable on crimea, which is one of their main military or their base is one of the most militarized places in this region as well. no mathias,

russia illegally annexed crimea in 2014, and has occupied it ever since. if ukraine makes sufficient gains in the current conflict, could we see ukraine try to take back crimea? if is the big question, because at the moment, of course, this looks pretty much impossible whether the conditions will change in a way that her ukraine might attempt to take back crimea is of course the bequest is probably the last one considering that the last territory that ukraine might try to take back, considering that it's pretty militarized, it's not as accessible as other territory is that russia is occupying, and it would be a major undertaking. and russia is probably also very much determined to defend it . but we might see a tax on crimean infrastructure increase as a zalinski has said that the ultimate goal is to take it back. and there's

a lot of speculation on future attacks on the bridge that links crimea to the russian mother land is something if the ukraine would be in the position to do that, it's something that would be highly likely and he has thank you very much. our correspond m t, a spelling of their in kia or elsewhere in ukraine. the fighting continues, especially in the east and south. russia has been stepping up its attacks in those areas in recent weeks. people in the city of nikolai, of have in live, in constant fear of rocket attacks from russian troops. and the entire region is on edge. a major russian offensive is expected there soon. as we can go to his home has been reduced to ruffle alexander is a ukrainian volunteer soldier. his happy he was not at home. when the blast hit or coffee madame a moment, i'll have to sleep in the trenches in the next few days. anyway. it wasn't for 3

years or i don't need to come back here moment. you can't live here. let us know. must never pull you out there. every day mich alive is hit by miss house. several people were injured in this neighborhood, but many do not want to leave their homes. the head of the regions, military administration, blame spies for providing targets to the russian army. they have trucks in there and they like to request, greg, you know, they're dubious. so they just gave information for on that leave. authorities are trying to root out the spies as soon as possible. a deep sense of unease has settled over southern ukraine. the region is expecting a major russian offensive siren spring out in nearby odessa. though air defenses here are strong, but that's not the case in mich alive. as in iraq, sirens blair, for the 2nd time in a day,

mothers and children at this children's hospital see shelter in the basement. wish it was, it's terrifying. these children are our future good. we're nothing without number. only a few are still here. thank god. the ones who left don't have to hear and see. all of this says he puts luscious planning on moving troops to the regions with a situation already so bad. that's making people here even more fearful for the future. with a ban on imports of russian, coal comes into effect in europe today. e countries agreed on the embargo earlier this year as part of sanctions over russia's invasion of ukraine. many european countries have relied on russia to supply energy in the form of coal. much of that coal was imported to europe through the port of rotterdam in the netherlands. was crossover to russia. i'm now we're our reporter barbara basil is standing by

barbara. the countries were rushing to stalk up on russian coal before the embargo came into effect. what's the situation now? now we are in the hover of rotterdam at the kay, where coal is unload it. you can see one of those river barges that the coal is put on to right in the back here and further in the back. there, those big piles of coal. this is leg night as so it doesn't really look black. there is this sort of white dish residue on it, but it, this is the stuff that really goes into power plants that is mostly used for electricity. and the harbor offer up to dom as of today declares no more russian coal, not to bucketful anywhere here. so they started fading it out there, there was a peak in may about when everyone was, as you said, stocking up on coal trying to get in as much as possible quickly. but now it has gone down to 0, all the freighters that used to be way out of sight of the harbor have been

unloaded over the last 23 months. and now it's all gone. no more will be coming in because the european countries say, and of course the rob, the hub of rotterdam needs to enforce that. this is the end. the embargo starts as of today and they have to find coal indifferent from different suppliers. alyssa embargo is coming into effect barbara as europe is facing an energy crisis, could this embargo result in a shortage of coal in europe this winter leading to power cuts? yes, indeed, it's a possibility because there are several factors sort of working together here that are negative for the supply offer of energy a to europe. it's not only the cold, they are trying to replace the coal from south africa, even of from ecuador, from columbia. that's what the harbor told us, so it all comes through the suez canal. now,

instead of from the northern russian harbors a. but even if they can sort of get the quantities there, the problem also is the price. the price of the coal has tripled since last year, and the transport has become incredibly difficult because the rind, the river ryan, which is the main conduit to, to transport the cold into europe is drying up. and so the river barges dike the one we see here in the bag it can can't really be loaded. it might very much any more, only eat a 3rd of their cargo. and so a lot of barges have to go, which again increases the price. and it might be difficult to put it up to the winter to get enough coal in it to supply the power plants. and of course, the, the steel industry that uses coal mill. not all you countries are exposed to this sir through, through this embargo quite as much in terms of their loss of coal supplies, which countries almost can going to be most affected by this,

or colon barton marvin. yet again, it was germany, as was the gas, germany imported have $14000000.00 tons of russian coal a year. but even a year ago and about half of their imports came from russia. so they were extremely relied down. they have, of course, started since the beginning of the war, they have started to replace this coal of from on the side spot. as i said, it's a question of the price. it's becoming very, it used to be a cheap fuel. it's becoming very expensive now. and they do have to find other places, the netherlands, even where we are now, and they imported to russian coal, poland a, which has its own mines. they had to step up mining on in poland, within poland to increase production. there they were quite realigned in italy, so these were the main import countries and they all really have to find a new suppliers and a really you have to sort of step up imports in order to make it's for the coming

winters are thank you very much. shar reporter barbara basil there in rotterdam. as european countries see celt new energy sources, some are increasing their use of nuclear power. but finding locations to store radioactive waste has been a consistent problem. finland is pioneering system to permanently contain all its spent nuclear material. some communities there are embracing the waste as the w's. terry schultz found out who wants to live next to a nuclear site? well, this guy for one, and evidently most of the other, some 9000 residents of the town of elder yaki finland. it's the proud home to 3 nuclear reactors and opening soon the world's 1st permanent storage site for high level radioactive waste. rick, at there are realistic purchase. it's about $20000000.00 per year. every okey mayor vessel lock in him. he says,

decades of good relations and no accidents. with the okey lu, auto nuclear power plant led his community to actively campaign to be chosen also as the location for the uncle repository. the facility is being called a game changer and the nuclear power industry. because the waste is deposited so deep in the earth, it will never have to be moved. lock in there may considers that a win for his town. long term financial security. we have renewed his school son, ari uncle and so realtor. her sports hall here at school support 8000000 euros. the economic boost from the nuclear industry is welcome, but embracing its waste requires deep trust and expertise and authority, part of the bedrock of thinner society. thanks to that and the unique suitability of the actual finished bedrock, this country is making history, half a kilometer below ground. welcome to call. when the site becomes operational,

within the next couple of years, the spent nuclear fuel will be transferred into steel canisters and then copper capsules lowered into tunnels and sealed off forever. at the moment the uncle of site is still in its trial phase. as experts continue finalizing the details of permanently disposing of spent nuclear fuel with such high level radioactive waste, there is no room for miss steps. looked good geologist johan hudson says every precaution is being taken to ensure that also in the far future that there are no any, any pathways, inches or surveys so. so this facility will store to canisters 400000 of years though the project has been underway under ground for almost 2 decades. it's getting new interest from abroad. that's due in part to the european parliament designation of nuclear power as

a green fuel. and the push in europe to reduce dependence on russia as an energy supplier, as wages war on ukraine. so uncle is getting lots of attention these days and not only from scientists and journalists, $17000.00 people per year come to see this interactive visitor center and take a tour of the facility posse to him, a heads up communications for pussy by the company. responsible for on callo. he says his goal is to demystify the process of nuclear power generation. a lot of people say that, okay, and nuclear is good, but then you have this a waste of used nuclear fuel. but well, we're not what we're saying is that no, that's not true. we do have the solution for that is completely safe to he. my says he expects more european countries to follow finland's lead. now that they're forced to reconsider how to power their futures. take a look,

some other stories making headlines around the world today. hundreds of government opponents have rallied in sri lanka, calling for an end to emergency laws. and the dissolution of parliament. massive street protests forced the former president to quit last month. the new leader runny re, from a singer as used emergency powers to arrest, protest leaders, firefighters in cuba say they have finally getting control of a blaze at a fuel depot that has raged for several days. officials described it as the worst fire in cooper's history. it was started by lightning strike and has destroyed around 40 percent of the islands, maine's fuel storage facility. former us present, donald trump says he's being, quote, attacked from all sides, but that he will trust by, in an investigation into his business dealings in new york state. chief prosecutor has accused him of overstating the value of real estate assets. this comes after the f. b,

i carried out an unprecedented braid on his florida state in connection with the allege removal of official documents from the white house. trump says he's done nothing wrong. his supporter say the investigations are aimed at stopping him, running for president again in 2024 from support is demonstrating the his mar logo state to them the f b i rayed is just more evidence of a witch hunt against the former president. what the f b i just did was totally unacceptable. it reminded me of it reminds me, if you feel like you might be a china or russia or even then it was germany. trump himself has slammed the search as politically motivated. and his republican party allies have been quick to follow his lead. here we now find that justice in america is not equal. is determined upon

whether you want to go after a political, a person or not. and you go after your political foes, i think that's wrong. it's unprecedented that you would go into a former president, but the white house is stressing the investigation is independent. the president and the white house learned about this f. b. i search from public reports we learned just like the american public did yesterday, and we did not have advanced notice of this activity president had mine has been very clear from before. he was elected president. and throughout the, his time in office at the justice department conducts its investigations independently with the justice department and f. b. i. yet to comment on the search and key midterm, congressional elections just a few months away. the raid seems set to become yet another bitterly politicized flash point. in a polarized america, earlier we spoke with norma romani, he's a trial lawyer, a former federal prosecutor and legal commentator. we asked him if there was any

reason to believe the rate on trump's estate was politically motivated. well, it's only possible the statute that donald trump may have violated 18 u. s. c. 207. 1 has a disqualification provision, and this was passed after richard nixon and it specifically says, in addition to a potential 3 year term and federal prison. that if you're convicted of violating this statute, you are prohibited from holding public office. that is a question whether this laws unconstitutional or not because it's never been applied. but it's a real possibility that if trump is prosecuted, that is prohibited from running in 2024. now to tenure, where boats are being counted after a lower than expected turn out in tuesday's general election, voters are selecting a new president, choosing members of the countries parliament. early indicators of showing a type race between the 2 main candidates deputy president william router and better and opposition leader riley are,

are both projected to have around 49 percent of the vote. if no candidate gets at least 50 percent, the pair will face a rental for more enjoy. now by correspond felix marina and i rode the phoenix turnout in the selection was quite low, especially among younger voters. what's behind that helix? can you hear me? i think we've got a audio connection problem there to nairobi. perhaps we'll get back to that in a moment. now moving on to the story about wiki leaks, founder julianna's sons. he remains in a british prison awaiting extradition to the united states faced charges over the publication of files which detained, which detailed us war crimes. numerous journalists and human rights groups have called for his release,

and mexico has offered him asylum. but his biggest supporter is his wife and former lawyer, stella assange. in an interview with d. w. she spoke of her peers for her husbands life and the impact on press freedom worldwide. i read in for julian a sounds that food is support is i demanding in front of the british home office. stella songs is among them, appearing in public to talk about her husband's flight. takes a toll on her pain. but she says she won't stop until he's free, joins, life depends on him winning. this extradition join is clinically depressed if he is extradited and placed in the type of isolation that the u. s. government says that it reserves the right to place him,

and then he will be driven to commit suicide stella songs fell in love with a future husband. why working as his lawyer in the ecuadorian embassy in london assange to refuge there in an attempt to avoid extradition? to the u. s, leaving the embassy would mean being arrested. so for 7 long years, he stayed within its walls. and that time i was at, they had 2 sons. their wedding took place in prison, where the family is allowed to see each other for one hour a week. they check inside their mouths behind their ears in their hair under their feet. they have to go through the dogs that sniff them from head to toe, and they understand that this isn't a place where they're not where their father is not allowed to leave. cell are songs one said children to get to know their father outside of prison walls. ultimately, once the domestic reb, remedies have been exhausted in the u. k,

he can then appeal to the european court of human rights. her husband is a journalist on covering war crimes, not a spy. that's what stella sonjee keeps telling the media. the u. s. justice system however, sees things differently. they accuse him of inciting others to hack into computer networks. it will define the scope of press freedom in europe. is it permissible for a foreign power to reach into the europe in space and limit what the press can publish? think about if china were to do exactly the same thing and prosecute a journalist in germany on the same principle because that journalist exposed chinese crimes are keeping european governments should defend themselves against us interference. she says, the effect is to chill the press. because now what can happen to julian can happen to others, the fight to free her husband is exhausting,

but giving up is out of the question 1st or last on, until her husband is free. the japanese fashion designer, issy mickey mouse, me yaki, has died aged 84. he survived hiroshima and went on to create a global clothing empire known in the industry. as the prince of cleats, his signature designs were both comfortable and affordable. a fashion design icon of the past, 50 years. yet he disliked the concept of fashion itself. is he me? i can refer to his designs as clothing rather than fashion. he said it was people that interested him. designing clothes was simply a way of feeling closer to humanity. since establishing his design studio in 1970, his goal was to produce practical clothes, which would stand the test of time. that idea inspired perhaps his most famous design, pleated clothes, which did increase,

could be watched by machine and could be rolled instead of folded. there were affordable to a personal rebuke to a fashion industry. he fast catered too much to wealth, an extra 70 but he is arguably most famous for the mock turtle. next he designed for the late apple, c. e o. steve jobs jobs originally wanted me actually to design a uniform for employees. it became his own personal signature. then he was born in hiroshima, in 1938 me at k was 7 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on his home city. as he sat in the classroom. his mother died 3 years later from radiation poisoning . it was something he did not wish to speak of, but in one of the few interviews he gave, he said the event was part of the reason he ended up designing clothes. a way to be closer to people and a way to be modern, optimistic and to look forward with hope. watching did up, you know, is just reminder the top story we're following for you this,

our russian officials say explosions at an air base and the occupied crimea. peninsula have killed one person and injured several others. the key of officials said they may be the work of partisans, but russia called the explosions and act you're watching d w notes coming up next to look at how people sending money home is creating jobs in ghana. i'm terry mark and thanks for watching.
