and this, so this whole case, the movers shake is visionaries and made when binding the meaning of modern africa . this is that from eggs on d w with, ah, ah, this is data between use life from berlin. ukraine says explosions destroyed russian jets in crimea. russia admits one person was killed but denies its air based, came under attack. new crimes president promises to liberate the peninsula, annexed by russia in 2014. also coming up as europe looks for different energy

sources, nuclear power could be poised for a come back. finland says it has the solution to the problem of storing nuclear waste. proponents say it's still not safe at a neck and neck rice in can yet the top contenders to be the next president appear evenly matched. a ronald vote may be needed. the fashion world warns it's prince of plates. japanese designer is he myakea has died at the age of 18. ah, i'm rebecca riches. welcome to the program. ukraine says 9 russian war planes have been destroyed in explosions at an air base in the annex crimea region. one person was killed and several others injured. russia has used the starkey base near nova fed is cut to strike solving you. crime!

moscow says detonations of stored ammunition set off the bloss. not an attack. you crying denies bombing the air base thought a senior official suggests it may have been sabotaged. president vladimir zalinski has bound that ukraine will liberate the crime and peninsula from russian occupation. a brilliant blue sky turns dark after several powerful blast. images of black smoke at a russian air base in the black sea were posted on social media by beach goers and crimea, a popular holiday destination for many russians. but these holidaymakers may now want to change their plans. tourist described how they experienced the detonations . oh yes, when you 1st of i was standing and then it felt like either i flew into the air or fell under ground. i was so scared, my husband jumped up, he was resting and said what happened? and then we took a few steps back and immediately saw this cloud and a column of smoke right above us. but not none in crimea was used by russia

as one of the launch pants for its invasion of ukraine. moscow has had troops stationed on the peninsula since it illegally annexed crimea, in 2014 many ukrainians. consider this to be the start of russia's invasion, including ukraine's president vladimir zalinski and received this russian war against ukraine and against all of free europe began with crimea on most and with crimea, with its liberation. yo zoom russia's defense ministry says the explosions were detonations of stored ammunition and not the result of an attack. ukraine has denied it was responsible for the incident, which took place deep in russian occupying territory. but as senior ukrainian official suggested that the blast could have been the work of partisans, saboteurs, or russian incompetence. so far ukraine hasn't reported carrying out

any major attacks on russian targets in crimea. officials and moscow warren that would trigger massive retaliation including strengths on key. if i spoke to military analyst and conflict res, such a mike martin and asked him who he thought was behind the explosions. oh my certainly it was the kind armed forces i'm with throughout the war. things have happened that haven't gone moscow's way. for example, i'm sure your views, remember the sinking of the moskva. they're all sorts of stories about how that was being towed broken down. and then it sank, and of course, what had happened was the ukrainians, it's sunday with a missile. what's happened here is that the grains of either launched missiles to attack it or have used partisans to get over the fence and do some sabotaged. what's very interesting is that the ukranian government is saying, are we,

we was to did that row up, that we weren't aware that was awesome. what they're doing. that is a creating confusion and playing the russians at their own game. it makes it much more difficult to the russians to respond if the situation is ambiguous. we've heard about some of the damage done, but do we know the extent of the damage caused by these explosions? satellite imagery from the night before, which shows up to about 10 russian fighter jets. so one assumes they have at least been damaged. the other thing that's quite interesting is that there were a number of explosions that was separated into 2 groups. so the 1st set of explosions was the initial impact of the miss, all the sabotage. and then later on was a much bigger explosion. and that's the mushroom cloud that you see on all the pictures. and that tells us that a large quantity of fuel and, or ammunition went out. now if this is, or if this was a ukrainian attack,

either directly from ukrainian held territory or bi partisan resistance fighters as has been suggested, does that then signify a strategy shift from cave? i think actually this is a continuation of a fairly non running ukrainian strategy. while the russians were focusing on the east, the ukrainians were focusing on the south. because what they realized is that a particular crimea, which was that occurred, is really the strategic central gravity for the russians is the most important part of the crane for them. so if the ukrainians put pressure on the russians in crimea, the russians are going to pull forces out of everywhere else and ukraine to defend crimea. so by threatening crimea, will you credit the doing it, causing the russians to weaken their forces elsewhere? it's very clever president and he has talked about re taking crime. it was certainly a hot topic as russia was pushed out from the surrounds around it. is that really

a realistic prospect? i think if by it take crimea, you mean ukraine launching an invasion and killing every last rawlson. i think that's quite difficult. but as we've seen over the last few months, the ukrainians afford quite a clever war where they're using artillery attacking supply dumps in command control to create fear on the russian side. and i think that's exactly what's happening here. if they can make crimea seem unsafe to the russians, then we start to see people pulling out. we start seeing much more difficult for the russians to, to reinforce the area. and that's what they're trying to do. they're trying to create collapse of the russian forces rather than trying to kill every last one of them. might just before we leave we've, we've seen more reports of russian strikes, hitting civilians or civilian targets. it's certainly not the 1st time. what does that tell us about moscow's military strategy?

it tells us a minute. she's just, she's poor. attacking civilians is obviously illegal and abhorrent in moral terms, but actually military terms, it's very stupid. if you're fighting a war, you want to use your military assets to take out your opponents, military assets, and if you are attacking civilians. and the reason they do this is the russian seeing the ukrainians are morally inferior to them. they think if we shell them, they'll give up, but actually all it does is it genders, more resistance, and it's an attack on a civilian. so it's not taking out a military asset. it was you is very poor. or i am, i will have to leave it there. thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. as european countries scramble to find new energy sources to replace russian oil and gas, some are turning to nuclear power, but storing waste that can remain radioactive for centuries is a big problem. finland is pioneering. a system which it says can permanently

contain all its spent nuclear material. and for some communities, it's a welcome financial boost of correspond. terry schultz went to western finland to find out more. who wants to live next to a new clear sight? well, this guy for one, and evidently most of the other, some 9000 residents of the town of error 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 here. are yoke mayor, vessel luck in him. he says, decades of good relations and no accidents. with the okey lu, auto nuclear power plant lead 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 near me, considers that

a win for his town, long term financial security. we have a new way to school son, ari, uncle and so realtor, her sports hall here at school support 1000000 euros. the economic boost from the nuclear industry is welcome, but embracing is waste requires deep trust in expertise and authority, part of the bedrock of sinner 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 o 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 hanson says every precaution is being taken to ensure that also in the far future that there are no any, any pathways, inches a survey so. so this facility will store at the 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 it 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's center and take a tour of the facility posse to or 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 bubble. would all, what we are saying is that not that's not true, or we do have the solution for that is completely safe to a 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. now for most communities, even hearing the words nuclear waste facility would be enough to make them say no, thank you. so what's behind these fins campaign? when i put that question to the woman who filed that report, terry shields. not only are they fine with this, they actively competed with other communities to be chosen as this site for the, for the nuclear waste, the permanent luke nuclear storage. and they are going to have this waste there,

as long as any of us can see into the future. all of the nuclear waste created in finland from the 5 nuclear reactors that are operational right now will go to this site for at least the next 100 years. and they expect it to stay there for more than a 100000 years. and as i mentioned, the, the community feels that this is a source of long term financial stability. and it's been underway the construction for more than 20 years. so they feel that all the necessary safety studies have been done. this may be something quite particular to finland that they trust their authorities. and that when politicians then are the last ones to make the decisions, not the 1st ones. they feel that certainly the, the safety considerations have been taken into consideration and not the political decision. so this was really an important point that was made to me time and again, i want to talk about some of those safety concerns when okay, was a revenue being one of the major factors on the,

on the yes column in the yes column rather. but if this has never been tried before, you say that everyone thinks that the safety tests have been done and people feel pretty secure. but how can the finish experts really be so sure they won't be leakage. i mean, nobody can say for sure, because it hasn't even become operational yet. but as i mentioned, the project started more than 20 years ago. and when uncle tells me that it will soon be put into into operation, they mean there are only 3 more years of testing. so they are really trying to cover every base. as you heard the geologist there say that they're going to test for at least a couple more years to make sure that despite all of this research that's been done, that there are no possible ways that any of this waste can get out into the bedrock into the into the air, into the water and the residents of this community feel that, that all necessarily all necessary things have been done. and one of the important points about this is that there is an open communication line between the community

and the facility. if they write an email and say, i'm worried about this or that, it's answered, there's a, there's a hotline, they can call if they're concerned, though this is really an interesting case study, as you pointed out in communication. indeed, and a case study that isn't being seen anywhere else. do you think this could be used in other countries? it certainly getting a lot of attention. i asked if their phone is now ringing off the hook as countries are having to get away from being dependent on russian energy and policy to whom you said, yeah, we're, we're getting a lot of a lot of calls these days. but in fact, just this year, rebecca, there has been another country taking a decision to do that. and that's neighboring sweden, after years of skepticism in sweden, that perhaps these copper capsules would degrade in, in a 1000 years, instead of the 100000 years that are expected. swedish researchers came to the conclusion that in fact, it was safe enough and, and earlier this year in january, sweden decided to build a facility just like on kilo. in fact,

the finished facility is built on some swedish research itself. and now sweden is going to be constructing a site just like this. and from what i understand other countries are very much looking into this. because as we said from the beginning, this has been one of the concerns. one of the reasons why people are opposed to nuclear power. yes, i'm bet. all right, terry, thank you very much for that. terry shield from brussels bureau let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. china says it's wrapped up military drills around taiwan, but will stage more training exercises beijing launch days of war games in response to the u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi is controversial visit to time pe, shaughnessy's taiwan as a breakaway province, locked down and mass testing are in force on the chinese holiday island of high none. tens of thousands of tourists have been stranded since authorities blocked travel because of the cove at 19 outbreak. for my shoreline can president got to by

reggie packs, it has applied to visit thailand. the tie, foreign ministry says roger packs is not taking political asylum. he was forced to step down last month by mass protests against his government. he's been staying in singapore a run also, it may be needed in kenya as early election results show a tight race between the 2 main contenders. to be the next president, the veteran opposition ada rayleigh dinger and the deputy president william ruta appear evenly matched. the result is expected later in the week. these ballot boxes will seal kenya's fate for the next 5 years. after hours of voting, describe as peaceful canyons are now waiting to hear who will next lead their country and sing? it will thing you bring one will and i one just these to prevail. some canyon say they have little hope and politicians after years and would successive governments failed to meet the country's economic needs, disapproval,

i saw voter turnout plunge compared to previous years, especially among kenya's younger voters. but observer say they can only do so much . i cannot to rumble about it. he cannot push the seats years to come. that's your pastime. now. not mine. mine is. have you been allowed to vote? nobody was there a strict are prevented from watching the reprocess was coll peaceful for dolly. so if somebody has chosen not to dress his eyes, he's or her right. 22 elected valued up. well. canyons have returned to daily life while waiting. the results for many memories of filing disputes over election results are not too distant. observers hope a quick count will ease any anxieties. will now be bulletin used to. i'm sorry to panic. i'm late in the previous via's. a business is

going on as usual. as you can see, her dad are quite a number of people going on with their business because him wondering that we need to noise out that these bullets he sent us out of frames on to the common people as we talk now, the notes am in any way, ah, try to use what actually, for the 1st time in kenya's history, opposing candidates have vowed to accept the results without dispute. as the results near canyon's hope, the promise will halt. kevin or cedar is executive director of county governance watch a kenyan and geo joined me now. kevin, thanks for your time. welcome to the w. a very tight race, but so far a lot of largely peaceful election process. you expecting this to change once the results are out. thank you so much over that. in fact,

one of the things that we and kinley observing is the fact that our, the election sub been likely peaceful which is normally the doctor is thick of our king and evictions on the challenges normally appear upset at i must this when counting in telling use up any because now you have candidates why the winning or losing and i was john sat on the visions, the calmness of by the hotels and even the candidates themselves. so we are probably looking for what to the possibility of the national, returning office of the chairman, having the announcement in about 3 or 4 days time. but of course, the question around having the patient according to citizens, and what does it to be patient in so far as waiting for the national attendee easy the issue. but as, as, as the, as, as it always is, the voice is where peaceful others are. as low as already been shed by some of the sentiments in your or by your reporter. and so we just kinda looking forward to

a continued come and be beyond just the timing and the mentioning of the presidential. ah, the president at lexington who pays for that? certainly, pol positive, but your organization has been helping to monitor the poll that you saying that the process is free and fair as well. so far, so good. the process of speed wed free and fair of cause, issues around the turnout is shocking. looking at the man and the degree in which they are different. political coalitions campaigned. they are the kind of messaging and narrative. we have had lots over there. let me call them major post us of the don't post us in kenya presenting a higher ton out. but what we have right now, as has been projected to by the chairman of intimate indiana into independent electric boundaries. felicia i. e b c indicates that a little out was about 64.6 to 5.4 percent,

which really is i shocker before we expected, where dia, hi, after not, of course, they are on the of who does security deed in some parts of the country and the fact that the key mistake that they came skids were unable to read some, some of the what does what presented themselves in that their whole more or less ratings. i got them disenfranchised and discouraged. but i liked lead from all of us. the would they let you know has been likely peaceful and, or we have are we in the process of developing our reports? we've but michelle, the glued preliminary reports with the commission and we hope that they will have been done. so building our democracy and electro preparedness rebut, love, vote, a turn out. okay, so whoever wins kevin, what are the big ticket items that they'll be facing as president? so whoever wins, one thing that is profound is the unit of the country because it looks like it's quite a very close and it might be a very not

a when given the kind of numbers that are streaming in right now. but of course, if you are to compare the kind of pulling stations, we're looking a lot of our $46229.00, and a b, c has so far received almost all of them. but the challenge is that the forms that we took up what form form, but the for a which is used for the presidential tally has to be presented physically at the national telling center. so that therefore might give you are much more of a longer wait forecast, but whatever it is that we, this has to really come up with a social question and, and editorship. when will make model that is going to help canyons live together, we have issues around high cost of living, which probably would also contribute to the high the, the, there. what are the know what that or not that we're seeing? where can us like the asking been in office for this long? what have you done and how does it contribute last the, the high cost of production issues or sub formed are fundamental or

selection. and so can, yes, we'd be looking forward to how to distracted that the prison will be able to put in place dealing with corruption and with the georgia public resources. rebecca lay some big issues facing the new president there. kevin, a, cedar in our every. thank you very much. your time. welcome. think i hear some of the other stories we're watching for you this hour for me. you as president, donald trump has refused to answer questions under oath in york. the trumpet organization is being investigated in a 3 year probe of its finances. the attorney general says there's evidence the organization lied about the value of its assets. a lois, a former russian state tv journalist, marina of santa covers, says she's been charged with spreading false information about the russian army, if convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison. last month of sienna cova held up a post in moscow, calling president vladimir putin

a murderer and his soldiers. fascists. below the wail that were stranded in the river saying in france has died during a rescue operation to save its life. the whale was being moved to the coast, but developed breathing difficulties. the animal was trapped in land for more than a week. the japanese fashion designer is he myakea has died at the age of $84.00. he survived hiroshima and went on to create a global clothing empire known in the industry as the prince of plates. his signature designs were saying as being both comfortable and affordable, a fashion design icon of the past 50 years. yet he disliked the concept of faction 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 felt catered too much to wealth, an extra 70 but he is arguably most famous for the mock turtle. next he designed for the lead apple c e o. steve jobs, jobs originally wanted me actually to design a uniform for employees. it became his own personal signature. zeniah was born in hiroshima, in 1938th. myakea was 7 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped in 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 boss 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 under way to be modern, optimistic,

and to look forward with hope you're watching data body news. as a reminder of the top story we're following for you this, our ukraine says 9 russian warplanes have been destroyed and explosions at an air base on the annex crime and peninsula prussia admits one person was killed. both denies the bass came under attack. beer up to date made in germany is up next on d, w, looking at europe's energy dilemma. now remember, you can always get more news on our website. that's d, w dot com and follow us on social media as well. we're at the w news. i'm rebecca written in berlin. thanks very much for watching with ah, with
