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 ukranian sovereignty to expand rob today's advisory council. the d occupation of crimea has been created to coordinate all activities and projects in this direction have entered, saw the success of the crimean platform. strangely, 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's a high risk of death in occupied territories. ukraine's president zelinski said incompetence by russian troops may have caused the detonations in crimea. i spoke to w correspondent, john phillips, shots and keith earlier 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. her president

lensky has repeatedly urged her 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 a lot of sense to, to try to cut off her supply lines and, you know, 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 are a lot of people that are loyal to the 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 there? from what we effort there 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 x inspectors are bad. so they disagree on on the conditions. so at the moment there is no sign of improvement. and unfortunately, he debbie responded john phillip sholtes, they're reporting from keith. thank you. now let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines today. the veteran u. s. politician list cheney has lost her seat of the republican primary to lawyer harriet hagerman. 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 feature . several people have been injured in a wave of arson and bombing attacks in thailand, south authorities, i say, at least 17 attacks occurred over night, mainly inconvenienced, awesome gas stations. thailand, southern provinces have been the scene of a muslim separatist insurgency for almost 2 decades. germany's chance that all of shaw 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 shawls about said, israel had committed quote, 50 holocausts against palestinians. this 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 1st let's listen to what bus said. wow, camera,

me. since 1947. for taken back to the present day can feel israel has carried out 50 massacres in belt. the for the for me in 50 palestinian village of the elephant dora 50 massacres. 50 holocaust, you and until to day every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. i'm one of us speaking there. you know, how is it a political reporter and she's been following this story for us and you know, what's been the reaction here in germany to our boss? a comment? well, it's a bit so the reactions to come up. but when they did, they were very strong indeed build site home. germany's biggest daily was the 1st to call it an anti semitism scandal at the chancery, the head of the opposition city. you party said it was outrageous. and that mister shots should have asked mister abbas to leave instantly the federal commissioner

for the fight against anti semitism. felix client told me there last night that by relative isaac, the holocaust president abbas had lacked any sensitivity towards as hosts and others called it the biggest arraignment at the chancery in history. but charles has also been criticized for how he handled the situation. come to that in a minute, but why has the reaction been so strong? well, there is a difference between legitimate criticism of some of the actions the israeli government stands for on the one side and using words that relative eyes what the nazis here in germany did during the 2nd world war. well, white that is just and no go and germany relative icing the world war holocaust is even illegal here. and the feeling is that muffled abbas strategically use the political stage here. he must know full well that it was a tremendous provocation to use that word for israel's actions at the chancery. so that's the one scandal because it is not going to do is cause any favors to provoke the german chancellor like that. and the other is of course that,

so it's didn't immediately challenge this under for magic language, he did have a tongues, he lay to distance himself from it by the build site, and then this morning via retweet, but it was a massive communication glitched by the german chancellor, well, the german shows it as you saw it has said has been criticized harshly for his handling of the press conference in particular. something with the staging apparently really of went wrong there. tell us more. well, i was there god, and it is rare. indeed, our journalists hold their breath at press conferences at the chancery. but we did do that in 2 situations. at that presser 1st, when our boss spoke of apartheid in this country. so it's quickly distance himself from that. but one of us was asked whether he'd apologized for the olympics. 1972 massacres. he said israel had committed 50 massacres in 50 years, 50 holocaust. we just heard what he said, and he used that word. so you didn't need to understand arabic. at that point,

he used to watch holocaust, and it was clear that that point that that would be the last question and answer at the presser. and so it's did listen for about a minute to what i was saying. he then began to frown, and he looked to me and to others, as though he wanted to respond, but he didn't. his spokesperson then ended the presser shots shook hands with us and left. so he should definitely have responded there. and then, and this is very bad communication indeed, but of course it's also not going to do our boss and charts is relationship any favors. thank you very much. in a political correspondent, nina heart the oscar nominated german filmmaker, vulcan peterson, has died at the age of 81. it is in short to fame with his world war 2 submarine epic does bought in 1982, his 1st english language film was the never ending story. imagine it before he went on to direct stream of hollywood hits, including thrillers like air force, one as well as the saw, the war epic. troy wolfgang peterson built
