depot in russia occupied crimea. the kremlin says 3000 people have been evacuated and described the bloss as an act of sabotage without saying who was responsible only a week ago, 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, and 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 shipped it in, the emergency guys came from kit and said they were evacuating. everybody was still
10:03 am
out. there were by explosion. shells falling right in the back yards. we have a shell in ours. a bet that was, it was the guy that came over to inspect it, that i think he said they were going to la d mine it or whatever. we just left everything you pick. workers were quickly dispatched to start repairing rail tracks and power lines damaged in tuesday's blasts was in the co which as movie morrison is a subterranean. the russian ministry of defense done as he says, the official cause of the incident was sabotaging harvestable is wholly at the missouri. it will be remembered more than 3000 people have been evacuated. my scales from 2 nearby settlements in the reach out of the machine. we would add you, but we are. why be in them or for don't put are being housed and temporary facilities. oh, was michelle, just pull my marilyn schools, leak a physical so you can leave a total of $121.00. people are being sheltered. adoption of those 20 are children sitting at that in chicago. the rest have gone to their relatives. to listen me look, i see benito. the blasts come one week after similar explosions at
10:04 am
a russian military air base on the kremlin controlled peninsula. kia has 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. the novel she reparations for the crimea platform on the way he likes picked the little number of participants taking part of this initiative to bring crimea back on the ukrainians sovereignty. to expand rob today, the advisory council, the dissipation of crimea has been created to coordinate all activities and projects in this direction. entered, saw the success of the criminal platform. gainfully, blood for crimea is a popular tourist destination for russians. in a cryptic tweet sent out after tuesday's explosion, one of the lens, his advisors wrote that invaders and thieves must understand. there is a high risk of death in occupied territories. ukraine's president zalinski said
10:05 am
incompetence by russian troops may have caused the detonations in crimea. i spoke to the w, corresponded young phillips, schultz, and if and asked him if this kind of statement was part of ukraine's current tactics. yes, it looks very much like it that it, sir. the tactics at the moment to create some degree of confusion. a president lensky has repeatedly urged his so senior officials not to reveal too many details about military operations. and so some military analysts 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 in it from a military perspective. of course, that makes
10:06 am
a lot of sense to, to try to cut off a supply lines and, you know, the crimea now that people left in crimea who are actually loyal to ukraine. yes, yes, of course. i mean, legally, of course crimea is part of, of ukraine. and even though russia has tried everything in the past 8 years since it started it's cropping patient in crimea to, to install the russian system. there, there are a lot of people that are loyal to their, he has 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 sabotaged to accidents to possible rocket attacks. now let's change focus to the fighting around the separate g a nuclear plant. what's the latest
10:07 am
there? from what we effort that haven't been any new checks 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, a team of observers, of ex inspectors are bad. so they disagree on the conditions. so at the moment there is no sign of improvement. and unfortunately, he debbie,
10:08 am
responded john phillip shows the reporting from keith. thank you. the veteran, the u. s. politician las cheney has lost a seat as the republican congressional candidate for wyoming to lawyer harriet hagaman, who is a supporter of donald trump. cheney has been an outspoken critical, the former president, and that was one of the few republicans to vote for his impeachment in her concession speech. she vowed to do whatever it takes to deny from a 2nd term. she is also one of 2 republicans sitting on the committee, investigating the attack on the capital, on genuine in her concession concession speech. chaney 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 was 73 percent of the vote . i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear,
10:09 am
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. oh no, that's brilliant, sculpt lucas. he's a professor of american studies of university of birmingham in england. a professor is this more evidence that the form you as president has still has a tight grip on the republican party? yes, and no. yes. in the sense that when it comes down to specific races and specific states and wyoming, it isn't a very large state in terms of population, you could put a lot of resources there. tromp and his supporters could wager directed campaign to take on one of their foes in this case, less cheney who stood up to the former president by voting for impeachment. and
10:10 am
also served on the house committee to investigate caplet tatt when it comes to elections, which were on a wider basis, such as elections in larger states for the u. s. senate, and most importantly, for the u. s. presidency. it is not a foregone conclusion, that the trumpets have complete control. it is certainly not the case that this foreshadows that trump can run. and when the republican nomination in 2024, without a lot of opposition. but that still cheney comes from a family with deep roots in the republican party. doesn't that mean that the old god of republicans has been totally marginalized? it means that some of the old guard of been marginalized because you have a civil war within the republican party. so you can go state by state where you have trumpets who continue to spread the lie that the election was stolen. who have one nominations, not just for the house of representatives, but for governors offices and for secretary of state positions. who are the
10:11 am
officials who oversee elections. but again, there is a lot of the old guards still in place in washington. so for example, keep an eye on sen report the republican leader, the senate, mitch mcconnell, who has been there for decades and who has been very silent in recent weeks. as i said, what i think you're going to have is continued republican and fighting all way up to november's mid term elections and beyond. now, jania said see, i will do everything in a power to prevent from, from getting reelected. what does she mean? well, i think she's going to speak out her and she'll continue to serve, of course, on the house committee investigating the capital attack, looking for the accountability that trump is trying to escape. i think beyond that, and when she leaves office in january 2023, is there the possibility that she can organize a movement to retake the republican party to make it responsible?
10:12 am
or if she thinks that is not possible? does liz cheney and other, or do las cheney and other people who are looking for responsibility and accountability actually pursue the possibility of a 3rd party, a grassroots movement in the united states. one which could work with the democrats on certain issues. do you think she would seek a nomination as an independent it's extremely difficult. well, 1st of all, it's really difficult to, to get elected in wyoming unless you're a republican. so i think carry it hagerman who is a deny or that, you know, supports trump selection denial. i think she will be the next represent from wyoming. the problem with running as an independent for president is that it is extremely difficult to win as a 3rd party candidate. you almost have to capture a party from the inside like donald trump is done. so no, i don't think that's the path less training to take professor scott lucas. thank you very much. thank you. now let's have
10:13 am
a look at some of the other stories making headlines. u. s. presidential biden has signed into law. the inflation reduction acts calling it a win for the american people. the new legislation includes an investment of $369000000000.00 in climate policies. $64000000000.00 to reduce health insurance costs and the 15 percent minimum cooperation tests for large company the united states and the e. u. r. 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 rance nuclear development . it collapse when for me, he was president. donald trump withdrew his support. turkey as reportedly carried as an air strike in the aleppo region of northern syria, killing at least 11 people. syrian state media reports at 3 government soldiers were among the victims. turkish forces have been targeting the kurdish y p g
10:14 am
militia in northern syria since 2016 ankara considers the group a terrorist organization. 3 people have been seriously injured after jumping from a train that was engulfed by wildfires in eastern 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 to kenya now where the runner up in the presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result. rollo, dingo, called the outcome travesty. and accused the chairman of the electoral commission of acting unilaterally and illegally in declaring william router kenny as next president, despite his strong words of dingo, urged his supporters to remain peaceful the long wait for kenya's election result is over. but like every residential
10:15 am
outcome in kenya, since 2002, this one do is disputed. no of you. there is neither legally under buddy declared, winna nora, president elect visit. you will go to the announcement but, but in 2 unknowns, a winner is analogy. he acted with gross impunity and internal disregard of the constitution and our loss. owning the losses. 5th bid for the job job despite the support of his. all right, well, an outgoing president who can yetta good people in his strong willed city of kids who have mixed feelings about challenging the results. i think what i like right now if you go to court and
10:16 am
her for them to decide who should come the president of dinner might as up our views by like the president of canyon. okay. it got to go to court and we can really so what my fear is really, really caught my thought about we go to the election, which is going still to be missing money like this $1.00. meanwhile, rudo supporters are eager for him to take off as soon is the sat of the lesson for very visible. as you can see, also that mafia is not a lot and even continues to relax. because you're expecting of the president. i mean, any time you know, mckinney, i could face weeks of uncertainty and the way forward may ultimately be decided in court. so another contested election and kenya a little earlier, i spoke to marita whitaker from international crisis crisis group and i,
10:17 am
roby. i asked her if this is a setback for kenny democracy or does it show that kidney and democracy is functioning out there that it shows canyon democracy maturing and institutions are developing more and more are because as i said in the past, when you had to split that electrons, you would have immediate, communal clash is the police firing into protest does. this was a very heavily contested election. 14000000 people quoted. the 2 top candidates was separated by only 200000 votes, roughly 1.7 percent. and the country still seems calm and very importantly, the institutions are being asked to be tricked the dispute between the 2 top candidates. so i'll say this is progress or the current for the country. the election in the region are almost always coronation. so you don't really have competition. i think competitive democracy is maturing in kenya, and they have good lessons for the region. germany, san sola,
10:18 am
charlotte says he is disgusted at what he described as outrageous remarks by the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas on a visit to berlin. during a press conference with shorts, our boss said is well, had committed quote, 50 holocausts against palestinians. that statement has led to an outpouring of anger here in germany. we'll have more on those reactions from our political correspondent in a moment. but 1st let's listen to what abbas actually said when grammar is since 1947 to the present day. some see, israel has hurried out 50 massacres in the for me in 50 palestinian village of laura, 50 massacres. 50 holocaust, you and until today, every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. mom. what about speaking there earlier spoke to
10:19 am
w political cause for learning from amazon. and she says to have been some strong reactions to abbas comments here in germany. 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 chancellor, re and the federal commissioner for the fight against n p 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 as hosts. and so you know, the german tabloid newspaper build, picked it up immediately after the news conference and of 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 and you know, last night with a short statement. and then today he put honest and put out
10:20 am
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 have a quick listen. eletta was headed though to take 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 didn't why? and in apartheid system, the one that is against us by the israeli side, and then you will not be in the service of security and freedom and
10:21 am
a feeling that on to the assistance of course of regarding the you thoroughly politics. i have a different assessment at 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 to produce. i go to the top, so i felt 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
10:22 am
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 criticising are saying now he should have reacted in, in that very moment it's m 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, are the vic critiques that are being leveled or have shows that he wasn't quick enough to to react in that moment and let the common pass, our political report alone. if i'm a stand there, thanks, winning the oscar nominated german filmmaker, both con peterson has died. he was 81 that hasn't made his
10:23 am
a breakthrough with the world war 2 submarine epic, das bought in 1982. we went on to direct a string of hollywood. it's including thrillers like air force, one or in the line of fire as well as the war a pick. troy, a representative said, it hasn't died on friday at his home in los angeles after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. an earlier my talk to are so next, but scott roxborough from d. w culture, as there are only very few german directors were able to make it in hollywood. i asked scott what made of compete as in stand out? well, i'm, i think peterson, i mean 1st. busy foremost he was incredible craftsman. i mean i'm, his technical ability were, oh was, was a, was phenomenal, is 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. i'm. and then we combine that with
10:24 am
a real focus on character because every walk on peterson film at a center is a, is a real human being and his characters weren't superheroes. they were ordinary, a men um, put in extraordinary situations. and i think that combination of sort of, of a varies real, a realistic and am 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 there. 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 submarine ers. in world war 2, and it really captures the sort of absurdity and horrors of war. and from that
10:25 am
movie, which was such that so successfully went to hollywood, made a string of action movies on with some of the big a stars in hollywood, clint eastwood in the line of fire, harrison board and an air force one. the perfect storm with george clooney troy with, with brad pitt, and one of my personal favorites is the pandemic of film out bert outbreak with dustin hoffman. i don't think any other direct 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 postwar 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,
10:26 am
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. i'm is what raises them above the level of just ordinary hollywood blockbusters scott rocks, bro, there from the w call sound, the death of wolf gung hit us at age. 81. thank you. you're watching t w. a news is a remind off the top stories were following for you. this out. a series of explosions has rocked you cranes annexed premium peninsula and what russia defense ministry says as an act of sabotage. local officials say a fire spock the explosion as an ammunition depot injury to people and forcing thousands from the homes. you brain has neither confirmed nor denied any attacks on crimea. the veteran us latisha las cheney has lost a seat as the republican congressional candidate for wyoming. one of the,
10:27 am
upon his most outspoken critics, a form of president trump. cheney was defeated by trump backed lawyer, arias hagerman and the runner up in kenny as presidential election has confirmed that he will contest results. right out. dingo says he, the chair of the electoral commission acted illegally in declaring william router, the winner of the election, full of 7 electoral commission, as opposed it was that's it from me and then you seem to not go away up. next eco, india explores how to get more shot flies out of fuel batch. i'm dab office with the team with a with
