a holocaust scandal at the chances office. but it wasn't only abbas comment that sparked outraged. it was also this reaction from olaf choice. the press conference was concluded as planned with no visible attempt specialists to contradict our bus . he should have told him to leave tweeted, conservative opposition, lead ethically to rec mats. you shouldn't go into a press conference was, was the 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 this a german chas. emmet, 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. he is garrath yesterday costs a dark shadow over germany's relationship with the palestinian authority. mackwood abbas turned down his message in a new statement, but as holocaust remarks to have already strained german palestinian relations. he w a political correspondence. i'm young can tell us more now simon. chancellor or left shots has come under heavy fire for how he handled the situation. walk us through the many reactions there have been yeah, well this whole incident has sir sparked a storm of reaction with even, for instance, the year normally reticent form a chance langler merkel, who hasn't said much since he left off left off his last year or condemning the

remarks of the palestinian president, but it's not just about his remarks, as you say. it's also about the year slow reaction from my chancellor sholtes and some people have called that are unprofessional. and there is this story that the year the chancellor's meteor adviser effectively brought the press conference to an end before the chancellor was about to say something. am well, you know, that's fair enough. but i think the chancellor of germany ought to be a responsible for his own action. sir. the leader of the opposition christian democrat party is called incomprehensible. he says that abbot should not just have been contradicted. he should have been told to leave the chancellor re rather than being offered the handshake that shows immediately thereafter, did offer him. and there have been some negative comments as well,

from jewish leaders here and other opposition. politicians. i think, you know, you're, you're seeing a lot of aftermath, a lot of broken porcelain it as they say on the floor. and there's a lot of repair work for the german government to do. they have some of the palestinian representative in berlin today and told him of the government's position on this. you're talking about broken porcelain. how do you think this will affect german palestinian relations? while some a politicians are saying that it's time to look again at the development funding for the palestinian authority, more than a 1000000000 euros has been promised from germany, making it one of the biggest donors. if not the biggest, some people are saying, you know, our boss is a supports terrorism. he's also holocaust denial. he's not the put sort of person who should be in receipt of these kind of funds. it's fair to say in that press

conference about was saying he hoped that sir, just the shows would soon visit ramallah in the west bank. well, the chance does press spokesman today was saying it's very hard to imagine that happening any time in the foreseeable future. it over your political correspondence . i mean young thanks so much and us now get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. officials in afghanistan said there are multiple casualties following a powerful explosion at a mosque and cobble blast hit during evening. prayers and a northern neighbourhood at the capitol, local media. they. the mom is among the dead trunk. as former president got a by urge a pox, i will return to the crisis stricken country later this month. that's according to sri lankan media. russia park south fled the country after tens of thousands of anti government. protesters overran his official residents last month. protesters have demanded that he and his family be investigated for corruption. australia's

that the commissioners wanted that that it is alt altered so that there would be no clear winner in joined one. then secondly, he also said that according to their kennel constitution, but there was no demand for any effort him to console to their commissioners in telling canyons who they had rightfully voted for. so he said if anyone was aggrieved, then they can actually go to court, but it was timing to see that just there. just yesterday, the commissioners were accusing the chairman that he was not a democratic boss on. he did not give them space and to discuss the, the better results. and he turns out today that the commissioners actually wanted the results altered. so this is just playing out and we will see what our, what more will get to noise than in that is to come. meanwhile, the controversial president elect would very much like to hit the ground running what we've been hearing from him. so deputy. 6 i'm sorry, president elect to william root or you're just getting used to him now being

president elect william router today met with all the elected members of parliament, governors and sanitize everyone who's been elected under his coalition. and he told that member that it was time to go, it was time to deliver for canyons. he said that there were more pressing needs as compared to other other things that probably they were being pushed into. and he said he was ready for court processes. but he also see the members of parliament and everybody within his team, they did to walk to alleviate the cost of leave, to lower the cost of living for kiddos to ensure that young people go to jobs and to ensure that the promises that they made in their kenya ones that team was delivered to the country as soon as possible. helix. marina in nairobi. thanks so much. russia has replaced the commander of its military fleet in the black sea, one day after the russian held crimean peninsula was rocked by explosion. no one

has claimed responsibility for the mass of glass and a weapons depot, but ukrainian president below to mere zalinski has blamed russian incompetence. moscow, however, claims the attacks are the work of unidentified salvatore, russian appointed authorities and crimea. a fires at the site are still burning. and a short while ago we asked our correspondent and keith young phillip shows why ukraine's president is so sure these explosions were the result of russian and competence. well, it's definitely a part of a strategy. it's part of a strategy to spread so confusion. president kolinski has repeatedly urged his senior officials not to reveal too many details about military operations. nobody here really believes that it has been the strange series of accidents on the russian sides. a lot of different explanations are discussed at the moment,

and some of the cylindrical 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, know that it has broken up some cell offer local islamists a route that might be involved in the attack. so there are, there is a lot of confusion, probably a lot of one to confusion around. so the topic and a lot of russian tourists are actually currently leaving the region. and phillip shots reporting from keith, they're to the us. now we're a veteran politician. liz cheney who lost a primary to run as the republican congressional candidate for wyoming in november, has said she will do whatever it takes to keep donald trump out of the white house . she's even considering running for president herself. cheney has been an

outspoken critic of the former president and was one of only 10 republicans to vote for his impeachment. she lost the primary to trump and doris lawyer harriet hagerman, 204 defeated year, but also defiant. saw las cheney had run a campaign, like, based on her opposition to donald trump, and preventing his influence over the republican party. it is dead 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 vote. 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. for more, let's bring in peter matthews. he's a professor of political science at cypress college in california. mr. matthews, welcome to the w. at what is las cheney's defeat in wyoming? tell us about the state of the republican party. well,

her defeat was remarkable, but not surprising because she capable of problems, probably a 3rd in line in terms of power in the house. and yet we knew this was gonna happen looking at the polling given that president trump was going around endorsing a whole lot of candidates and back out of $195.00 candidates. again, the doors nationally, 1751. their election was happening to lose cheney as well. and there, while the republicans are much more right wing from one that state, but 69 percent of the vote against biden less surprising. all it tells us involving in parties, been captured by from such an extent. but can they, when, in general elections in november, for example, can they, when, in the general election, when the other people are voting besides republican, democrat, them different? that's a big question at trump is not on the ballot, but still ever present. what role is he going to play in the mid terms in november? you think he's going to play a major role because he's so confident that his role is going to make republican when, but that's not the short at all. because don't forget the most right way in publicans

. one these primaries when it comes to general elections, the american people might reject and probably will reject in many cases. although in swing states they want in swing states like pennsylvania and michigan and arizona, where those 4 states could go democratic looking at the polling, especially those extremists, right, when you're backed by from many of them are actually white supremacists. and, you know, very, very dangerous to a lot of voters and trump himself. this fight scene is what quite dangerous. so we'll have to wait and see in november though, as far as the country will be going the rest of the times, a very crucial lecture. in her concession speech, lis cheney said that now the real work begins. what do you think is next for her? i'm going to continue her national campaign to keep trump away from the old office and she might even run for president thinking that she might be able to slow down. but the way things going now, it looks like trying to put when the primary elections in 2024 and become the republican nominee is favored by over 50 percent of republicans. the next person in

line, the status has a very small number of republican supporting at this point. and i believe that it's going to be very tough for loose change to win the nomination in 2024 and to win the general election against the democrats. so she will stay focused on the national picture and be the patriot that she has and try to support the rule of law meeting and democracy in america. she's been supporting it very fun and she won't stop doing that. little analyst peter matthews. thank you. thank you, and let's now get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines today. several people have been injured in a wave of arson and bombing attacks in the south of thailand. authority say at least 17 occurred overnight, mainly inconvenient stores and gas station pile in southern provinces have been the scene of a muslim separatist insurgency for almost 2 decades. 3 people have been seriously injured after jumping from

month. and let's go straight to keith cowan. he used to work at nasa and is the editor of space ref dot com. thank you very much for joining us again. keith. almost 50 years after the last mission to the moon. what took us so long? well, look, i'm 67. i remember those missions, and i remember growing up as a boy, they said we're, we've always flown one person in space. let's go to the movie 9 years, get it, and then we'll go to mars in 1981. well, it never happened. so for some of us older folks we, it's okay, it's about time. but for more than half of the people on this planet, they'd never seen anybody walk in another world. so for them, it's a zip. it never happened before. so it's going to be kind of interesting from several different perspectives when we do put people back on the moon and what's different this time around? what have we learned from past missions and other players, of course, also joining the game. well,

the other players is important because part of the launch system that on meeting the autonomous mission that will go off is a european stage. that is why prime to capsule with a cruise and are on board actually for this flight. if there's no humans or gord, there's 3 dummies. volkhart, some sorts of medical equipment to or from europe. so we'll be learning a lot more about how the spacecraft works on this test flight, but then on the subsequent flights with one cruise in about a year. so we'll learn more about how they survive. a lot of it is remembering what we did back 50 years ago. what with 50 years of experience since then on how to design systems. so it'll be nostalgic but all also again, brand new. at the same time, nasa is clearly very excited about this. i can tell you until and what's so special about the faith launch system. well, it's interesting, it's, it's, it is a saying in english here is something new. old, something new, something tried something true. the engines in the bottom were used to fly on actually blue with spatial for number of years. the rockets in the side are derived

from spatial a hog where the tank is something like a space shuttle and on top of an apollo capsule shaped thing. so it's, again, looks retro, but it's all smashed together and it's got the old nasa logo in the new nasa logo on it. so it's, it's, it's bringing everything together. but again, we've got a half a century war experience under our belts. so that's what's exciting about mrs. we're bringing it all together. and the landing system will actually be a space x rocket. so something brand new on top of this will be part of the whole new expedition that were sent to the moon. all right, so after the test flight, how long until we'll have boots on the moon again? well, you know, i keep hazard, you guess like, everybody else gets the way it, i would say within the next several years. and i'm not really had to go back there, not exactly sure, because each flight depends of the one before that. and this hardware has had some delays. so i would say within the next several years, we'll see humans walking in the moon again. keep going,
