technologies work how they can infer, but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin. the palestinian president sparks outrage in germany accusing israel of committing 50 holla course against his people. the german chance about olaf shoals face is heavy criticism for failing to respond quickly to the comment. also on the program can use president elect says if there

are legal challenges to his victory, he will follow the rule of law for members of the electoral commission. have objected to the results. ah and phil gail, welcome to the program. german chancellor, olaf shalt says he is disgusted at what he described was outrageous remarks made by the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas during a visit to berlin. speaking at a press conference with the german chancellor on tuesday evening, mister bassett, israel had committed 50 holocausts against palestinians, sparking an outpouring of anger here in germany. it was this moment at the very end of the press conference that caused outreach and several out of me. since 1947 for taken back to the present day. some

seal. israel has carried out 50 massacres in melody for the family in 50 palestinian village in the elephant flora. 50 massacres. 50 holler, carson, and until to day, every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. this about germany is leading tablo beard called as a holocaust scandal at the chancellor's office. but it wasn't only about the comment that sparked outrage. it was also this reaction from olive choice. the press conference was concluded as planned with no visible attempt specialists to contradict our bass. he should have told him to leave tweeted conservative opposite lead african mats. you shouldn't go into a press conference vista of us without having sought before about from locations of this kind, which should be expected. and then you know that you have to react because

it's berlin, it's a german chancellor. and as a german chancellor emmett, 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. there wasn't cancer of either. the german chancellor expects the palestinian president to recognize the singularity of the holocaust without any qualification his gaff yesterday caused. so dark shadow over germany's relationship with the palestinian authority. mackwood abbas toned down his message and a new statement. but as holocaust remarks have already strained german palestinian relations b w. political correspondent mean hearted,

talk me through more of the german reaction to this statement. well yeah, the reactions have been very strong indeed. so many politicians have called about his comments outrageous. some said it was the biggest derailment at 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 a zation of the holocaust was something that germany would never tolerate. but yes, a lot of the outraged today was also directed at how the current german chancellor sher, it's handled the situation. i was at the press of phil and there were 2 moments where we really held our breath. first, when our boss spoke of apartheid in his country now shows 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 what holocaust lingered in the room. and so they begin to frown, it looked to me and to others, as though he wanted to respond. but then he didn't. and he spokesperson ended the presser shook hands with our boss and left. so he should definitely have responded

there. and then right i, when we've heard from the best dish government spokesperson, who's take the blame for ending this press conference, so abruptly, i'm guessing that it's not going to do anything to dispel the pressure on the chancellor. well, in actual fact, who spokespersons definitely restraints 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 was right at the end of the precedence soon and that he wanted to say something. but of course many are now saying that a 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 have 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 accents. 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, 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 margaret abbas 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 atlas 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 undiplomatic language. i thank you for that, nina. nina, harder or to kenya, where the chair of the countries electoral commission has issued a statement regarding the legality of the disputed presidential election results or

follow. triple katie says he's confident of the result and of his actions in announcing that william rudo had one president elect router since he's not ready to move forward following his victory. but the runner up rather, a bigger says he'll challenge the results legality for the countries. 7, the electoral commissioners have said that they can not support this outcome. good evening field saw waffle. actual cut. he spoke earlier on today and he said that 4 of their commissioners who he should have pressed it meant and they said that they were not confident with the results that was released by your full actual cathy or the presidential result. that was the truth released to their country. but fletcher broke out. he said that these particular commissioners had wanted him to change the results so that it would kenyans would go for iran off that day and they 2 candidates would day tie. and eventually kenya's would go to iran off he said that that he was very confident in the result of that hughley he released. and he

said also that if any of their parties feel aggrieved, then they should pursue legal legal redress in their justice system. but from awful legit book at his desk, it's all systems go and he says he's very confident of the results that he released . and it was the legitimate result that kenyans had wanted. when, while the president elect william router has been talking about the election, what see been so so president elect, william brutal, had a meeting with all elected members under his political coalition. and he said that it was all systems go for his government. he asked the members of parliamentary from now start getting ready to deliver on the more on the more pressing needs that the country has right now. and he also asked the members of parliament and uh his team to also get ready to deliver on the manifesto,

to ensure that these food security in the country to ensure that young people are getting jobs and to ensure that service delivery is getting to the list pos on, on the ground. so for president elect really i'm router, it's all systems go. but he also mentioned that should there be caught processes instituted by their opposing team, then he's ready and willing to go through the judicial process. ok, thank you for felix, felix marina in nairobi. and here's a quick look at some all stores making headlines today. officials in afghanistan say there are multiple casualties following a powerful explosion at a mosque in campbell. the blast hit during evening. president northern neighbourhood of the capital local media say the mom is amongst the dead. years ago . veteran us politician is jamie has lost her seat in the republican primary to trump supporting the lawyer. harriet hagaman hagerman was jamie, has been an outspoken critic of the former president who was one of the few

it's definitely part of a strategy. it's part of a strategy to spread so confusion. president olympiads 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 old speculation. at the moment, the russian side even claims, know that it has broken up some cell offer local islamists a route that might be involved in the attack. so there are, there's a lot of confusion, probably a lot of wanted confusion around. so the topic and

a lot of russian tourists actually currently leaving the region conflict sholtes in keith now, should celebrities get special treatment like the members of the world famous k pop group, bts behind me that arguably some of south korea's greatest cultural ambassadors of the station nation mandates 2 years of military service. so the boy band could be heading out of the limelight and into the barracks. wonderful, but without learning about it in the parliamentary debate, insole on a key matter of national defense, a policy issue close to the hearts of pop fans in south korea and beyond. if k pop boy ban bts are required to do their military service, will they be confined to barracks and disappear from view? well, there's a chance, it might not happen. who is the youth about him? he'll even if they join the military, knew there be a way to give them a chance to practice and perform together if they're scheduled concerts abroad. and

then i was good news for the fans. all young physically fit south korean man must do 21 months of military service. a legacy of the korean war which ended nearly 7 decades ago. technically south or north korea signed an armistice, but never a peace treaty. the korean peninsula remains heavily militarized. you read the idea of the pop stars. a soldier has a long history and popular culture. when u. s. rock'n'roll legend, elvis presley entered the army in 1958. the day became known as black monday. but the king of rock'n'roll service did much to boost the public perception of the military. b t. s could even benefit from taking up arms. south koreans who do their military service are very popular. people highly value are to serving in the military and this may boost their popularity good. that india purple in 2011 south korea's modern day elvis counterpart. rain made
