3000 people have been evacuated and ascribed to blast as an act of sabotage without saying who had held responsible. only a week ago, a russian abbeys in crimea was attacked, if ukrainian forces were behind the explosions. it would mark a significant escalation of the war. cellphone video captures, a giant fire on the horizon. russian officials say the blades engulfed, an ammunition depot at a russian military base in northern crimea. multiple fireballs can be seen and heard erupting in this amateur video. as the blaze rips through the plant to nearby villages had to be evacuated. wooster spots and we came out the big look and saw clouds of smoke coming from the cow sheds where the military warehouses are . oh, we stayed there until about 7 already and everything was exploding, flashes, fragments, deputy, falling on us, you ship. then the emergency guys came from kit and said they were evacuating.

everybody was still out. there were explosion. shells falling right in the back yards. we have a shell in ours was in you'll the co which was movie mckeathan is assumption in the russian ministry of defense them as her says, the official cause of the incident was sabotaging marshal, boys jolla. her appearance with more than 3000 people, have been evacuated. my scales from 2 nearby settlements in the reach out of the machine, the ready, but we are by b, m. o for don't, which are being housed and temporary facilities. oh was me shame just for my merrily and schools leak afily christine, can we a total of $121.00 people are being sheltered from the object of those 20 or children sitting at that in chicago. the rest have gone to their relatives. to last me. lucas, you've been in the blasts come one week after similar explosions at a russian military air base on the kremlin controlled peninsula. kia is not claimed responsibility for either incident, but ukraine's president has repeatedly said that regaining sovereignty over the country must include crimea, which was annexed by russia. 8 years ago. he touched on those efforts during his

nightly video dress to the nation. leonardo she reparations for the crimea platform on the way she lay, expect the little number of participants taking part of this initiative to bring crimea back on the ukranian sovereignty to expand rob today, the advisory council, the d occupation of crimea has been created to coordinate all activities and projects in this direction entered saw the success of the caribbean platform. strangely, blood for crimea is a popular tourist destination for russians, and cryptic tweets sent out after tuesday's explosion. one of the lens, his advisors wrote that invaders and thieves must understand there's a high risk of death in occupied territories. now let's bring into w. christina young phillips schultz, who is joining us from keith and phillip ukraine's president. soleski said it might have been incompetence by russian troops that caused the detonations in crimea. is this palm of ukraine's current tactics?

yes, it looks very much like it that it said the tactics at the moment to create some degree of confusion. president lensky has repeatedly urged his senior officials not to reveal too many details about military operations. and so some military analyst that i have talked to recently say it actually makes a lot of sense to try to spread a maximum of confusion and fear on the russian side regarding the incidences in crimea at the moment. of course, nobody really believes that it's been a strange series of accidents and son, ukrainian senior officials have implied that there has been some kind of ukrainian involvement and it from a military perspective. of course, it makes a lot of sense to, to try to catch our for supply lines and, you know, crimea now other people left in crimea who are actually loyal to ukraine. yes, yes, of course. i mean, legally, of course crimea,

it's part of ukraine. and even though russia has tried everything in the past 8 years since it started it's copy patient in crimea to, to install the russian system. there, there are a lot of people that are loyal to the kia government. there has been a lot of speculation in the past days that some kind of ukrainian special forces could have been involved in the recent explosions. but again, these are speculations, other explanations have been discussed here as well, reaching from sabotage to accidents to possible rocket attacks. now let's change focus to the fighting around the supple is year nuclear plant. what's the latest there from what we have heard there haven't been any new attacks there during the night and in the morning. but indeed, service situation is very worrisome. there have been,

several artillery strikes close to the plant in recent days we were able to talk to a former engineer who used to work at the power plant until recently. and she says she's very worried about the situation. very worried about our colleagues because more and more workers try to flee the nuclear power plant. it's obviously very difficult to keep up operations there. in theory, both ukraine and russia agree to a visit of an international team, of observers, of inspectors are bad. so they disagree on on the conditions. so at the moment there is no sign of improvement. and unfortunately, he does respond. john phillip shows the reporting from keith. thank you. the veterans u. s. politician, liz cheney has lost her seat as the republican congressional candidate for wyoming to lawyer harriet hagerman, who is

a supporter of donald trump. cheney has been an outspoken critic of the former president and was one of the few republicans to vote for his impeachment in her concession speech. she vowed to do whatever it takes to deny tramp a 2nd term. she is also one of 2 republicans sitting on the committee investigating the attack on the capital. on january 6th. in her concession speech, jenny said she was not willing to support what she called. donald trump's lie about the 2020 election in order to win the primary. 2 years ago, i won this primary with 73 percent of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear, but it would have required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would have required that i enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. that was

a path i could not and would not take w's, washington bureau chief, venus paul has sent us this assessment from wyoming. kind of a surprise to harriet hagueman, one in the wyoming primaries over incumbent. miss cheney. and yet this marks a watershed moment for the republican party, this jamie republican royalty was one of the, to your peace. biggest hopes for the future. choose the politician on the conservative fringe of the party and many so on her the possibility to make the 1st female republican president until january 6th, 2021. jenny was one of the 1st republicans to condemn donald trump's involvement and the storming of the cabbage. oh, she knew speaking out against some good cause through the voice she had drunk and also challenge ragman and helped her. when today was on the school's whole big

chums influence continues to be in the republican party. but this j wouldn't be a charity. if she didn't have a plan b in her pocket. there's speculation that she would run as an independent candidate in 2020, for an act of revenge. that could cause some, some modern republican votes that she needs to do is pull reporting there. now let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines. you as president joe biden has signed into law, the inflation reduction acts, calling it a win for the american people. the new legislation includes an investment of $6369000000000.00 in climate policies. 64000000000 to reduce health insurance costs . and the 15 percent minimum corporation for large companies. united states and the european union are studying iran's response to a final draft of the renewed nuclear deal. negotiators have been meeting in vienna

for more than a year to revive the agreement from 2015 that would limit iran's nuclear development. it collapsed when former us president donald trump withdrew his support for the turkey, as reportedly carried out an ass strike in northern syria, killing at least 11 people, including syrian government forces. the attack happened just west of the town of co barnett, syria and turkey have not commented 3 people have been seriously injured after jumping from a train that was engulfed by wildfires in east and spain around 20 suffered from burns when the service to valencia was caught in the blaze, prolonged heat waves have caused almost $400.00 wildfires in spain so far this year and to kenya now where the runner up of the presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result. riley dingo, called the outcome, a quote travesty,

and accused the chairman of the electoral commission of acting unilaterally and illegally in declaring william router. kenny, as the next president, despite his strong words or digger, urged his supporters to remain peaceful the long wait for kenya's election result is over. but like every residential outcome in kenya since 2002, this one too is disputed. no view. there's neither legally under, but it is declared when a not a president elect is that you will get his announcement but, but in 2 unknowns, a winner is analogy. he acted with gross impunity and internal disregard of the constitution under our nose

running a lawson's 5th bid for the top job, despite the support of his all rival and outgoing president who can yetta with good people in strongly, city of get some have mixed feelings about challenging the results i think what i like the right now if you go to court and her for them to decide who should come the president of dina, my dad's up our village, bail as the president of kenya. okay, it got to go to court and we couldn't really tell what my fear is earlier because my thought about to go to the election, which is going still to be miss martin id like this one. meanwhile, rudo supporters are eager for him to take off as soon in the thought of diligent but very peaceful. as you can see, all the doubt mafia is not alive and even continually relax. because you are

expecting of, if the president, i mean, any time yell mckinney, i could face weeks of uncertainty and the, we forward me ultimately be decided in court for more this dance bringing meridian wood seeger, he's with a international crisis group, a think tank in there roby a bingo has slammed the actual results as a travesty calling them null and void as the surprise you ok, we seem to have some audio problems there with the line from my role. we were trying to re establish that line in the process of this program, but 1st a visit a by the palestinian leader to berlin. a sparked controversy during

a press conference with german chancellor. all of charlotte mahmoud abbas declared israel, committed a holocaust against palestinians. when grandma, in since 1947 are taken back to the present day, can feel israel has carried out 50 massacres even better. the for the, for me in 50 palestinian villages the a lot. laura. like over in cities like there you're seen, tongue tura, fema half are casem haddonfield hollow and many more 50 massacres. 50 holocaust you and until to day every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. and what we demand an end to that

alone, if an amazon is a political reporter and she's been following this story for us learning, what's been the reaction here in germany to our boss? comment? well, if i had to summarize it in one word, it would be outrage. you know, they have been very harsh words of criticism from all sides of the political spectrum. and conservative lawmaker, i mean lusher called it quote, the most disgusting speech ever heard in the german in the german chancery and the federal commissioner. for the fight against anti anti semitism, felix klein and basically said, you know, told media last night that by relative ising holocaust president a bus and had quote, lacked any sensitivity towards us hosts. and so, you know, the german tabloid newspaper build, picked it up immediately after the news conference under the title anti semitism scandal at the chancery. and it has created some waves and that is why it's not so not a surprise that order shows himself also reacted to it, you know,

last night with a short statement. and then today he put honest and put out a statement on all of his social media accounts and saying that he was quote, disgusted by the remarks and then went on to say, i quote, for us germans in particular, any relative a zation of the singularity of the holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable. i condemned any attempt to deny the crimes of the holocaust. obviously some critics say he should have said those remarks in that very moment. last night. yeah, we come back to that in a moment, but 1st the to leaders also the differences over the use of the word apartheid to describe the situation in israel. that's a quick listen. it was headed over a day, the reinforcement of the 2 state solution and the destruction of the 1967 borders by the israeli side. what we did. okay. and the creation of the new reality, it didn't why and in apartheid system that is against us by the israeli side to many who will not be in the service of security and freedom and noticed the crowd

a feeling on subsistence. of course of regarding the thoroughly politics, i have a different assessment and so i want to say clearly that i won't use the word apartheid and i don't believe it is right to use the term to describe the situation . how do i go to the top? so i felt that the reacting there and opposing the use of the word apartheid, but scholes has come in for a lot of criticism of his handling of that press conference. tell us more. yeah, exactly. yeah, because a lot of observers here would have expected and wanted to see an answer is such as the one we just saw, you know, when he was criticizing the word for use apartheid, distancing himself from it. and you know, to that comment that we 1st heard about suggesting that israel had committed multiple holocausts and mean we have to remember that this press event was taking

place at the german chancery. and the german chancellor looked like he was cringing at the comment. it's it almost, you know, some people said, looked like he wanted to say something, but then his press spokesperson ended the conference according to schedule. you know, the answer to the last question. it was previously announced that it was the last question, but obviously being the german chancellor. this is what many are criticizing are saying now he should have reacted in, in that very moment and conservative a position leader finish me. it's called it in quote, inconceivable event in the chancellor's office went on to tweet. the chancellor should have clearly contradicted the palestinian president and asked him to leave the house. and so these said, if you know, are either big critiques that are being leveled or have sure that he wasn't quick enough to, to react in that moment and let the common pass our political record alone. if i'm a stand there, thanks really now let's come back to the

story of the contested elections in kalia. now bring in where it went to go from the international crisis group in nairobi. oh, digger house lamp, the election results as a travesty. calling them null and void, i asked you again is, does this surprise you? yes, apologies about the line. i would say that it's not surprising at all. i think your report them with an excellent point that can little do tend to be contested. the difference is that into the 7 when we saw horrific violence in the aftermath of the board, it was contested on the street. so it's encouraging that guy is going to the court . i think it's also looked up with most canyons remained quite calm, but it's not surprising. and even outgoing president who are kenyata said earlier this year that he would support his old rival, finger instead of his own deputy router is the work of the electoral commission than to be questioned as a thing to says. so can you take in an awkward position because now we see

a lot of foreign presidents congratulating little but can yet be silent. i would say that yes can yet i did a very important point to a dig up. but ultimately, when you look at the results outcome, can you tell us what to prove to be a budget? it's a difficult time. economically connecting still is not particularly popular and is all community in the mont can. your region did not support. i think that the walk of the electrical mission is going to be judged by the courts, but in general, there been quite transparent with pulling fish and pulling closing the uploaded all the forms on like so. anybody that calculate that could check what one i think the electoral commission was fairly transparent. what is going to be? question is the process of totally under process of announcement or results that will be tested in the court. but the electoral commission i give performed better than in the past. so what do you think? another contested election a means for the country?

is this a setback for democracy and kenya, or does it show us canyon democracy being actually very healthy out. see that it shows canyon democracy. my cheering and institutions are developing more and more are because i stayed in the past when you had this, but that elections, you would have immediate act, communal clash is the police firing into protest? does this was a very heavily contested election. 14000000 people voted the top candidates was rated by only 200000 votes. roughly 1.7 percent of the country still seems calm and very important to you. these decisions are being asked to be treat the dispute between the 2 top candidates. so say this is progress for the, for the country. the election to the region are almost always called on mission. so you don't really have competition. i think competitive democracy is maturing in kenya, and they're good lessons for the region. thank you very much. my matina project

director for the horn of africa for the international crisis group in kenya. thank you. the african nominated german filmmaker, both dan peterson has died at the age of $81.00. it has made his breakthrough with a world war 2 submarine epic dust bought in 1982. he went on to direct a string of hollywood hits, including thrillers, air force, one and in the line of fire as well as the war epic. troy representative said he doesn't die on friday at his home in los angeles. after a battle with pancreatic cancer, for more on both computers now now joined by scott rocks for our film experts from d w culture. it's got only a few german filmmakers have ever made it in hollywood. and he really was a trailblazer in that respect. what was so special about it?

well i think peterson, i mean 1st and. busy foremost he was incredible craftsman. i mean um his technical ability were oh was, was, was phenomenal. his ability to come to really a catcher action or on screen in a way that felt realistic but was also incredibly heightened and, and larger than life. um. and then he combined that with a real focus on character because every walk on peterson film at a center um is a, is a real human being. um, his characters weren't super heroes. they were ordinary, a man um put in extraordinary situations. and i think that combination of sort of, of a varies real, a realistic and i'm relatable. figure in an extraordinary, out of this world. situation was what made his movies. so special music. we're seeing a couple of scenes from his most well known movies that can you walk us through some of his biggest successes?

yeah, well, as you mentioned, he kicked off his international career with us both, which is the best movie ever shot in the submarine, and probably for my money, the best anti war movie ever made a story of a group of, of, of german, a submariners on in world war 2 on that really captures the sort of absurdity and horrors of war. and from that movie, which was such that so successful, he went to hollywood, made a string of action, movies on with some of the biggest stars in hollywood, clint eastwood in the line. of fire harrison board and a air force won the perfect storm with george clooney troy, with, with brad pitt, of one of my personal favorites is the pandemic of film out bert outbreak with dustin hoffman. i don't think any other director in the world except wolfgang peterson could have turned dustin hoffman into an action movie here. so you have mazda paid as an a few times in person. what was important to him as a filmmaker? yet what struck me about a peterson was a why he said why he wanted to make films and he grew up in post for germany. and

he said he had trouble finding a moral role models because he knew the adults in his life, his teachers. and so forth and went through the nazi period and all of them supported the nazi regime. so in order to find a moral role model, he looked to hollywood movies, particularly to characters like jerry cooper and high noon, a man who stands out for what's right, whatever the cost. and peterson said those are the kinds of movies he won to make movies where you had a strong moral figure. i'm doing what's right. and i think that is what that sort of human really deep core of humanity in his movies. um is what raises them above the level of just ordinary hollywood blockbusters scott rocks ro there from the w call sound, the death of wolf gung hit us at age 81. thank you. you're watching t w. c. as a reminder of the top story, we're following for you. a series of explosions has rocked ukraine's annex crimean peninsula and what roches defense ministry says. it is an act of sabotage. local
