a visit to berlin. during a press conference with sholtes abbas said israel had committed quote, 50 holocausts against palestinians. the statement is led to an outpouring of anger here in germany. we'll have more on those reactions for our political correspondent in a moment. but 1st let's listen to what abbas said lamb come out of eve . since 1947, a ticket to the present day. and feel israel has carried out 50 massacre in melody, evidently in 50 palestinian villages. here. let them flora 50 massacres. 50 holocaust you and until to day every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. i spoke earlier to d. w. a political correspond, nina hossa, who was at that press conference with a boss. i asked her about the reaction here in germany to his comment and schwartz is handling up. well,

the reactions have been very strong indeed. and also in israel, by the way, where the government speaks of not only a moral disgrace, but monstrous lies. but here in germany, the biggest davy build site on quickly called it an anti semitism scandal at the chancery. and from the opposition c. d u party, we're hearing that our buses, cummins were outrageous and that showed should have asked mister abbas to leave, and that it was the biggest derailment at the chancery in history. the federal commissioner for the fight against anti semitism here was who said that by relative to revising the holocaust president abbas had lacked quote, any sensitivity towards us hosts. but yes, the german chancellor has also been criticized for how he handled their situation. now i was there at the presbyterian, there were 2 moments where we really held our breath. first went up, i spoke of apartheid in his country, shots quickly distanced himself from that. but then as the last question, mister abbas was asked where they'd ever apologized for the olympics, 972 massacres. and he replied by saying that israel had committed 50 massacres in

50 years, 50 holocausts. now, every one knew that that was the last question. answer at the press about that word . holocaust lingered in the room, shots began to frown. it looked to me and to others, as though he wanted to respond, but he didn't, to spokesperson ended the presser shots shook hands with our buses left. and he who should definitely have responded there. and then that was a massive communication glitched by the german chancellor and was possibly even more important is that it probably is also going to have an effect on shows his willingness to give us full throated support in the future. quite something new. can you explain to our viewers why this has provoked such a strong reaction here in germany now when it comes to the words apartheid but especially holocaust here in germany, everybody is very sensitive because there is a difference between legitimate criticism of some of the actions the israeli government stands for on the one side and using was that relative eyes?

what the nazis here in germany did during the 2nd world war there atrocities? worldwide, that is just a no go in germany. germany argues those atrocities cannot be compared to anything else. and relative isaac, the world war holocaust is even illegal here. so the feeling is that mahmoud abbas strategically use the political stage here. he must have been aware that it was going to be a tremendous provocation to use that word for israel's actions at the chancery. and that's the one scandal because it is not going to do is cause any favors to provoke the chancellor like that. and the other is of course that. so it's didn't immediately challenge this on diplomatic language needed. thank you very much for putting that in context for us. our correspondent nina has i also spoke about all this to dw is tanya kramer in israel. i asked her about reaction there while the was code is soc an outrage over the eye of use of the holocaust. here in the statements made by the palestinian president,

mahmoud abbas are standing alongside the german chancellor, all of shawls. and just to give you a few that was across of course the political board. we got reactions here. prime minister yale appeared said in a statement on twitter that while, and that's a quote, standing on german soil. it is not only a moral disgrace, but a monstrous lie, and adding that history will never forgive him. if he also heard from defense minister benny guns, who had just recently met with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas said that his words were despicable and false. his statement as an attempt to distort and rewrite history. also there danny diane, the head of to yet for shame, the holocaust memorial in jerusalem has called a despicable and appalling and they're also reports in the are israel media that you know, the caretaker government here. it's expecting some kind of, you know,

apology from the palestinian president, a boss himself her are now issued a statement responding to the criticism of his comment. what did he say? why? absolutely, i'm after this backlash and there was d. i waffa agency, that's the palestinian authority's official news agency, carried a statement released by the presidency by his office. and they're saying that you know, the presidency affirming that the whole of course is the most heinous crime. it's also a quote in modern history and that abbas was stressing that his answer was not intended to denied the singularity of the holocaust that occurred in the last century. and that he was condemning it in the strongest terms that was carried out later this morning after you know, hours after the press conference, obviously,

and after this backlash here on the official news agency. can you thank you very much. our correspondent tony kramer in jerusalem. now to ukraine, which has stopped short of claiming responsibility for multiple explosions that ripped through a russian ammunitions depot in crimea. the peninsula is part of ukraine, but was illegally annexed by russia. in 2014 kremlin, says 3000 people have been evacuated and described the blasts as sabotage, without saying whom it help. responsible crane has neither denied nor confirmed that it was behind this attack. or that matter. another one on a russian air base and crimea last week, if ukrainian forces or behind the explosions, it would mark a significant escalation of the war. earlier i spoke to our correspond mathias pulling up in chip. i asked him about president blood of me. zalinski is suggestion that the explosions were caused by the incompetence of russian troops. well,

i think her, we don't have to take this sir herb herb. literally, a is pretty clear that such an amazement of explosions in ammunition dumps are not probably just caused by her negligence by the russian troops. and also some of the patterns, especially the 1st one, the strike on the military air base attitude. it was it that one had similar explosions and in several places. so i don't think we have to take this. it's really, it's a way for ukraine not to provide me not to admit this is not to provide maybe for further a bourbon in order to feed the russian propaganda or. but it's not really that anybody here hides what's behind it. behind the be off record. we hear a lot diff of different stories. it's important for ukraine to do this, to show their capabilities is also important to disrupt the supply lines. because

crimea is one of the most important supply lines in this war. and one of the highly highest miniaturized places here in the region. um, so i think this is pretty targeted and there is a clear message attached to it that ukraine can reach russian troops there in crimea. and here is russia, has occupied cry, crimea for many years now, are there people left in crimea who are still loyal to ukraine? probably they all come. there's always every think that the people who are outspoken pro ukrainian most of them have fled. some are in jails, i don't think it's possible to be any in any way pro ukrainian as an activist, for example, in crimea, which work as a pro will ukrainian activist at the moment. but you know, the silent majority, we don't know where they, li, know, how many of them lean to this side on this side. that pretty is pretty sure that

they're on one of the speculations actually about how these blas have happened. is that the, that these were saboteurs and the secretary must be. there are the ways they concept hodge anything there. so yes, probably there are, we don't know how many we don't know how force will bail, but he is. thank you very much. that was our correspondent mathias bellingham in chia. yep, thank you. here. if you other story is making headlines today. sri lankan media, se for president got to buy a roger pox, a will return to the striking crisis stricken country later this month, roger boxer fledged relock it after tens of thousands of anti government protesters of a ran his official residence last month. protesters of demanded that he and his family faced an investigation for corruption. several people have been injured in a wave of arson and bombing attacks in thailand, south authority say at least 17 attacks occurred overnight,

mainly in convenience stores and gas stations. thailand, southern provinces have been in this had been a scene of a muslim separatist insurgency for almost 2 decades. 3 people have been seriously injured after jumping from a train that was engulfed by wildfires and eastern spain. round 20 suffered from burns when the service to valencia was caught in the blaze. long heat waves have caused almost $400.00 wild fires in spain. so far this year. you as present, joe biden has signed the inflation reduction act into law, calling it a win for the american people. the new legislation includes an investment of $369000000000.00 and climate policies. $64000000000.00 to reduce health insurance costs and a 15 percent minimum corporation tax for mortgage company that are in u. s. politician lose. cheney has lost her seat as the republican congressional

candidate for wyoming to lawyer harriet a 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 boat for his impeachment. in her concession speech, she bound to do whatever it takes to deny trump a 2nd term. 204 defeated years, but also defiant, saw less. jeannie had run a campaign like, based on her opposition to donald trump, and preventing his influence over the republican party. but instead to both her and her supporters, the loss did not come as a surprise. 2 years ago i won this primary was 73 percent of the boat. 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. that was a path i could not and would not take those conclusions on this committee

investigating the january 6 attack on the capital. cheney was one of just 2 republicans on the panel, investigating trump's role in the attack. and her earlier voting for his impeachment put her at odds with her own party. in typical style, trump put out a statement celebrating her defeat in the primaries. this is a wonderful result for america and a complete rebuke of the unselect committee of political hacks and thugs. lish cheney should be ashamed of herself. now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion. trump said, but standing before her supporters in wyoming, chaney vowed to continue her fight against trump. signaling that her political career is here to stay. to w, william bluecross says change defeat has huge symbolic meaning and could signal a shift in us politics. well, it definitely depends how we want to look at things,

practically speaking, not a lot. wyoming is the smallest state by population in the us, just a half 1000000 people lived there. and just a 170000 people voted in this primary. so we're not talking about a lot of people in wyoming is a deeply, deeply republican state when 70 percent for donald trump in 2020. so not exactly a representative reflective of the united states over all of course symbolically. and some symbols matter in politics. it's a big deal because liz cheney is the, by far the loudest and largest critic of donald trump. she has the biggest platform she is a cheney. after all. the daughter of dick cheney the former vice president who used to be really the center of the republican party back when he was in power along with george w bush. so the fact that she's out now really shows that shift that's taking place in the republican party from a very still very hard right. conservative party, but to something different, that's more nativist or more in donald trump's idea of republicanism. now the u. s

. is approaching a key juncture in its election cycle. william tell us what role is donald trump playing as the country has towards mid term elections in of m? well, donald trump continues to be the elephant in the proverbial china's shop smashing things to his liking. it seems he has put his thumb on the scales in his primary seas. remember before there's a general election between democrats and republicans. there are primary elections. but within the parties themselves choose who those candidates are going to be within the party. and donald trump has been backing people who have believed in his lies and believes in all of the conspiracy theories that he tried to peddle after he lost the 2020 election. and we've seen mixed results, though he is a very powerful force in the republican party. but he's by no means omnipotent in the house. liz cheney is one of several, ah, republicans who will not be going back because they lost their primary challenges

to trump, a supporters, a. but if you look at state elections, if you look at other areas of the electorate, the trump has a mixed record on whether his influence has really of, you know, been successful for his interests. and we're gonna have to go ahead to see if his influence continues into the general electro. remember primaries because they're within the party, they're an intro party fight, or they tend to be more extreme. they tend to lean more towards extreme. his candidates were his general elections. a people have to come back more to the center center at of, of, of this political spectrum to appeal to a broader electorate. william, good croft, they're now to kenya, where the runner up in the presidential election has confirmed that he will contest the result. while a dingo called the outcome, a travesty, an accused, the chairman of the electoral commission, of acting unilaterally and illegally and declaring william router to be can his next president in response, rudo says he will respect the rule of law and any legal challenge that follows both

sides have urged their supporters to remain peaceful. ah, the long wait for kenya's election result is over. but like every presidential outcome in kenya since 2002, this one too is disputed. no view. there is neither legally under, but it is declared winner. nora president elect is that you will go to the announcement, but put in 2 unknowns or is another acted with gross impunity, and internal disregard of the constitution under our nose. running the lawson's 5th bid for the job job, despite the support of his. all right, well, an outgoing president who can yetta with 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 for them to decide who should come the president of dina, my dad's up our views, bailey's, the president of kenya. okay. it got to go to court and we couldn't really tell what my fear is. earlier we caught my thought about to go to the election, which is going to be miss martin id like this one. meanwhile, rudo supporters are eager for him to take off. as soon in the thought of the elegant political as well as you can see, all the doubt mafia is not elect. and you can continue to relax because you're expecting of if the president coming anytime, yell sport, the boat was one of the germans cinemas, great successes. at the time it was germany's most expensive production yet and

picked up 6 oscar nominations. leave my love, drink stories, i love taking people by the hand, taking them to a world and keeping them there for our us psychological depth and strongly defined characters. these elements were already evident in his early works for television, like the german language crime series ta taught. after his success in theaters with does sport and the fantasy film, the never ending story in the mid eighties, peterson moved to hollywood after an initial dry spell. one of cinema's biggest stars, clint eastwood wanted peterson to direct him in the line of fire, packed with action, but profound was a triumph with rave reviews and a smashing success at the box office. peterson established himself as one of the hollywood blockbuster directors. his films often carried a patriotic message in air force won. the american president single handedly saves

his plane from terrorists. the biggest stars wanted to work with both gunk, peterson. the budgets for his movies soon exceeded $100000000.00. his biggest commercial success was troy. the epic, historical film with brad pitt peterson, belong to the small circle of directors who were granted the final word in hollywood with complete creative control over their own work. in 2016 for the 1st time in 30 years, he directed a movie in germany. fig in the bank for against the bank, a crime comedy. i think i missed that when i went to the u. s. i had the feeling and so did others who said to me, you need to make a comedy film again because they think i'm funny that i have a sense of humor which is true. please laugh this was a long wolfgang peterson, unexceptional director, a man who never forgot his roots,

but who lived out his dream. above all in hollywood, florida i'm joined by david levitz from dw culture. david, what made wolf calling peterson? stand out from other filmmakers where he was a filmmaker who by his own accounts, was obsessed his word with making movies that every one would like. he could not stand the idea that anyone would walk out of the cinema. and it's actually something you saw. people do when he was a young filmmaker and he snuck into his own movie, she saw people walk out and he never again and the way that he kept people in his seats in their seeds was with his special combination really of action on the one hand and this touch of humanity, the action is very real, it's very heightened, but it's always very character driven. it's, it's always about people. it's not super heroes. it's people generally men who are placed in these extraordinary situations and have to survive. and also within

action movies he had this enormous range. i mean, i, it still blows my mind that the guy who did air force, why and with harrison ford is the president who's beating up these terrorists on a plane is the same person who also the never ending story about the power of fantasy and childhood. it is quite a career trajectory that we're going peterson had. how did he go from making films in west germany, to working with the biggest stars in hollywood where it really comes down again to the breakthrough. he had internationally with dust bolt, which at the time was on the face of it. sort of an unlikely hit. you've got this german world war 2 drama from a german perspective about german military men on this very tight koester. phobic submarine doesn't sound like an international hit really, but it was, and even despite the fact that a lot of west german critics at the time, so this is a movie that glorifies of war. but that's not how international audience we saw it

. they saw it as a movie about ordinary men in a horrible situation who were trying to, to stick together and to serve their country and the movie now as soon as one of the very best anti war films. speaking world war 2, peterson was born in germany in 1941. he grew up in postwar, germany. how did that shape his career? well, in a sense that's actually what led him to film because growing up in the years right after world war 2, he had the sense in germany that the adults that he knew he could look up to because he knew that so many of them had, had supported hitler and the nazi regime. and so he looked for his role models actually in hollywood films and in movies like high noon with gary cooper in these movies where you had a good guy who's going to do the right thing, no matter what the cost. and he decided very early, i think he was 11 or 12, but he wanted to be a film director and he wanted to make those kinds of movies and eventually he did.

and he made it to hollywood and made those movies with clint eastwood and bradford and george cleaning the very biggest leading men. fascinating. david david limits from d. w culture. the u. s. space agency nasa has begun preparations to launch the most powerful rocket it has ever built. the long delayed space launch system is part of a multi $1000000000.00 effort to return humans for the moon by the end of the decade. all as practice for future missions to mars enormous 90 a meter tall rocket is scheduled to undergo its 1st unmanned test. at the end of this just reminder of the tough story we're following for you this, our chance we're all up shouldered says he is disgusted after palestinian leader, muff motive mos on a visit to berlin, accused israel of committing, quote, 50 holocausts against his people. the statement has led to an outpouring of anger here and you're watching dw stuff, next 10, dw news,
