sparking an outpouring of anger here in germany. it was this moment at the very end of the press conference that cost outraged. oh come on in since 1947 for to come back to the present day and feel israel has carried out 50 massacre in medicine 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. this about germany is needing tablo bait. cost is a holocaust scandal at the chancellor's office, but it wasn't only about comment that spite outraged it was also this reaction from olaf choice. the press conference was concluded as planned with no visible attempt specialists to contradict are bad. he should have told him to leave tweeted

conservative, opposite lead african to rec mats. you shouldn't go into a press conference visit us without having sought before about publications of this kind which should be expected. and then you know that you have to react because it's berlin, it's a german chart. and as a german chancellor emit growing pressure shows responded with his own tweet. for us germans in particular, any relative i zation of the singularity of the holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable. during wednesdays press conference showed spokesperson took the blame for the lack of immediate reaction and made it clear there would be consequences that will discuss that of either. the german chancellor expects the palestinian president to recognize the singularity of the holocaust without any qualification his gaff yesterday. costs

a dark shadow over german. his relationship with the palestinian authority. mackwood abbas tone down his message and a new statement. but as a holocaust remarks have already strained german palestinian relations. will they w a political correspondent need hossa talk me through some more of the german reactions to mahmoud abbas his statement. well, yeah, the reactions have been very strong indeed. how many politicians have called about his comments, outrages. some said it was the biggest derailment at the chancery in history, even angler mac or we'll remember her. the former chancellor who's been keeping a low profile for the last year published a statement saying such relative asian of the holocaust was something that germany would never tolerate. but yes, a lot of the outrage today was also directed at how the current german chancellor shows handled the situation. i was at the press of phil and there were 2 moments where we really hold our breath. first, when our boss spoke of apartheid in his country now, so as quickly distance himself from that. but then later on when he made this

holocaust comment, everybody knew that was the last question and answer. but the word holocaust lingered in the room. and so it did begin to frown, it looked to me and to others, as though he wanted to respond, but then he didn't. and his spokesperson ended, the presser shows shook hands with our boss and left. so he should definitely have responded there. and then right now, and we've, we've heard from best buy, so government spokesperson, who's take the blame for ending this press conference. so abruptly i'm, i'm guessing that it's not going to do anything to dispel the pressure on the chancellor smile. in actual fact, his spokes person, stephanie, was tried, went on the record to day repeating what he told us on tuesday after the presser. so when he came back to us journalist yesterday after the press a, he said already that his boss was upset with him. that shows was angry, that he resigned had ended the president soon and that he wanted to say something. but of course many are now saying that the german chancellor can, of course, always overrule his own spokesperson. in these situations, the chance would have been there,

but shorts didn't. right. you perhaps you could explain why these comments are provoked, such a strong reaction here a germany well, when ever there is a debate about holocaust. people here in germany are extremely sensitive. that has to do with our history. and of course, 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. that is just a no go and germany and everybody, every diplomat knows that around the world and relative isaac in world war whole, the cost is even illegal here. so the feeling is that my, what about strategically used 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 of course, it's not going to do is cause any favors to provoke the chancellor like that relations are going to be strained. and the other is of course,

the other scandal that choice didn't immediately challenge this on diplomatic language. i thank you for that, nina. nina hasa well, i, i correspondence, tonya kramer in israel told me about the israeli reaction. while there was clearly also shock and outweighed here and in israel, among you know, is very politicians across the political board about the use of the holocaust. and the statements made by palestinian prison mahmoud abbas standing there alongside the german chancellor. olaf shoals searches too. and you know, aside a crow to few now prime minister, your ill a pete said in the statement on twitter that while, and that's a quote, standing on german soil. it is not only immoral, this crazed he said, but a monstrous lie. and he added also that history will never forgive him. defense minister, any guns who had actually recently met with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas,

and said that abbas words are despicable and false. his statement is an attempt to distort and rewrite history. he also heard from the head of from danny diane, the head of d r, holocaust memorial. yet for sham and jerusalem, who also called you know, his statements to speaker and appalling. and we understand also reported israeli media that the caretaker government here would expect an apology from the posting in president. and the palestinian president has indeed issued another statement now in response to the criticism. what's he been saying? that's right. and the after the backlash, now d, r, palestinian authorities officially off a news agency carried that statement that was released by the palestinian presidency. our clarifying dots are the holocaust is the most heinous crime that's also quote from that statement in modern history. and that

a boss was stressing out that his answer was also, quote, not intended to deny the singularity of the holocaust that occur in the last century that he was condemning it in the strongest terms. he also stressed however, you know that the crimes he was referring to are committed by israeli forces that were crimes committed since 948 since at the foundation of the state of israel. that a statement came out, of course, a couple of hours later after this backlash from ramallah here in the morning. okay, thank you for that. out, italia cremmit in jerusalem. russia has replaced the commander of its military fleet and the black sea a day after the russian held, the crimean peninsula was rocked by explosions. no one has claimed responsibility for the massive blast at our weapons depot, but ukrainian president vladimir savanski has blamed russian incompetence. moscow however, claims he attacks the work of saboteurs. russian appointed authorities in crimea,

se fired at the site, a still burning. last, our correspondent young philip sholpes and keith, why ukraine's president is so sure the explosions, the result of rationing competence. well, it's definitely part of a strategy. it's part of a strategy to spread. so confusion, president kolinski had repeatedly urged his senior officials not to reveal too many details about military operations. nobody here really believes that it has been a strange series of accidents on the russian. cy, it's a lot of different explanations are discussed at the moment, and some of the salenti presidential advisors have also hinted at some form of ukrainian involvement. even the involvement of some kind of special forces have been discussed here. but it's all speculation at the moment. the russian side even

claims now that it has so broken up some cell offer local islamists route that might be involved in the attack. so there are, there is a lot of confusion, probably a lot of wanted confusion around. so the topic and a lot of russian tourists are actually currently leaving the region. my, i'm elsewhere, been fighting around this apparition at nuclear plant has been causing particularly particular concerns. what's the latest there? well, from what we have heard, there haven't been any new attacks in the past 24 hours. but indeed, in the past days, the area around for a nuclear power plant has been hit several times by a tillery strikes. the situation is very alarming. we spoke to an engineer yesterday who used to work at the plant and she said she is very, very concerned about the situations. a lot of workers are leaving the plant at the

moment and it's not clear how opperation can go on. so yeah, the situation is where he some in theory, ukraine and to rush i agree that there should be emission of international inspectors that says, should be allowed at the power plant, but they disagree on conditions to let the observers travel to the plant and a quick look at had to thursday's meeting between our president zalinski i turkey's president irwin and un secretary general antonio, good cherish. i'm what's likely to be on their agenda. i think the safety issues surrounding the nuclear power plant and support this year. we'll definitely play an important role, but the agenda will probably be dominated by the so called grain deal as you know, turkey and the united nations have both been involved in this

a great deal that allows now the resumption of grain exports from, from parts at the black sea, and this is also the reason why we cherish is planning to continue to the port city of odessa after his meeting tomorrow. thank you for that. d. w correspondent, a young phillip shots in keith. the ukrainian force is slowly advancing towards the russian occupied castle. civilians who fled the city are watching closely hopeful of returning to their homes. d w. smith is pulling up at one woman who fled with her family to odessa. that whether he could actually looking for something pretty among, donated clothes at the refugee center, anastasio by this over left. nearly everything behind her. when she fled her home in the russian occupied hassan region. she and her children have been in odessa for
