chance is facing criticism for his slow reaction to 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, abbas that israel had committed 50 holocausts against palestinians, sparking an outpouring of anger here in germany. the chancellor later said he was disgusted by the comments. but critics say he was too slow to respond. it was this moment at the very end of the press conference that caused outreach and somebody since 1947 for to come back to the present day. come feel is real hazard hurried out 50 massacres in the for the, for me in 50 palestinian village of the a lot from flora 50 massacres. 50 holocaust, you and until to day every day, every day our people get killed by the israeli army. germany is needing tablo beard

called as a holocaust scandal at the chancellor's office. but it wasn't only abbas comment that sparked outraged. it was also this reaction from olive 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 african british mats. you shouldn't go into a press conference with 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 chancellor and this 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 garrath 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 a holocaust remarks to have already strained german palestinian relations. i asked w political correspondent, simon young. about the reactions this controversial press conference has spurred and germany. yeah. well, this whole incident has 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 schulte 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. i 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 chancery rather than being off at 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 after martha lot of broken porcelain it as they say on the floor. 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. we're making it one of the biggest donors, if not the biggest, some people are saying are, you know, our bass is a supposed 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, abass was saying he hoped virt 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. he w political correspondence i, when young, thanks so much less, i'll get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines around the world to day officials in afghanistan say there are multiple casualties following of powerful explosion at a mosque and cobble a blast head during evening prayers and a northern neighbourhood of the capitol, local media say the a mom is among the dead to lancaster, former president go to via russia parks. i will return to the crisis stricken country later this month. that's according to its relock and media. roger pox, i 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 better and us politician,

just before the presidential election result was announced in kenya, for commissioners stormed out of the national, attending center and went to a different location and give a press conference thing that they were not. and they were not in agreement with that result that was about to be read by the chairman. so it turns out today from a statement that has been released by the i b, c, chairperson or for legible, cutty, that the commissioners wanted that they result altered. so that there would be no clear winner enjoined one. then. secondly, he also said that according to their kenyan 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 any one was aggrieved, then they can actually go to court. but it was timing to see that just there. just yesterday, their commissioners were accusing the chairman that he was not a democratic boss on. he did not give them space and to discuss it over there is

all it's, and it turns out today that the commissioners actually wanted the results altered. so this is just playing out and we will see what are, what more will get to know than in the days 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 router. we're just getting used to him now being president elect william router to day match. we've all the elected members of parliament, governors, and sanitize everyone who has been elected under his volition and he told them members 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 as they were being pushed into and he said he was ready for court processes. but he also see divine members of parliament and everybody within his team needed to walk to alleviate the cost of leave,

to lower the cost of living for k nos to ensure that young people go to jobs and to ensure that the promises that they made in their kenya coins, that team was delivered to the country as soon as possible. hillis marina in nairobi. thanks so much. russia has replaced the commander of its military fleet and the black sea a day after the russian held crimean peninsula was rocked by explosions. no one has claimed responsibility for the massive black add a weapons depot, so far, but ukrainian president volota mere zalinski has blamed what he calls russian incompetence. moscow, however, claims the attacks are the work of an identified saboteurs. russian appointed authorities in crimea, se fires at the site are still burning. today. earlier we asked our corresponded and keith young phillip shots, why ukraine's president so sure that these explosions were the result of what he calls russian incompetence. well, it's definitely 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 a strange series of accidents on the russian. sy, 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, know that it has broken up some cell local islamist root that might be involved in the attack. so there are, there's a lot of confusion, probably a lot of one to confusion around. so the topic and

also helped out the that i had that was the whole said. we have to get out of here, no matter what, because it's a diesel train. we'd be nearly humble out of the eyes. she alhashan yoga, ambulances came and is severely burned. woman was evacuated to hospital by a helicopter woodward, but landed on the local football pitch. elvira was out of the town, lost her, you doors my. the injured were in bad condition. the passengers were scared. i waddled. we gave them water and did everything we could for them. then a bus came and took them to safety down the road. a bit of 2 people had to be evacuated by helicopter, while others, including a young girl of about 10, were transported tenure by hospitals, valencia's latest region to experience severe forest fires caused by spain's prolonged eat way. at least 3 firefighters were injured this week, paddling the blaze and eastern spain, which has for some 1000 residence to flee their homes. investigation is underway to

who used to work at nasa and is now the editor of space ref dot com. well, look, i'm 67. i remember those missions and i remember growing up as a boy. they said here, we've only flown one person in space. let's go to the movie 9 years, get it, and then we'll go to mars 1081. well, it never happened. so for some of us older folks we, it's not, it's about time for more than half of the people on this planet. they've 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 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 the crew is and are on board actually for this flight. if there's no humans or board,

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 web crews 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 says them. so it'll be nostalgic, but i'll 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 a saying in english 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 hardware. the tank is something like a spatial and on top of an apollo capsule shaped thing. so it's, again, it 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 this is we're bringing it all together and the landing system will actually be a space ex rocker. so something brand new on top of this will be part of the whole new expedition that we 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 has, where do 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, editor of spacecraft dot com, always a pleasure. thank you. america. some other of today's top stories, russian and you as officials say a space walk outside the international space station was ended early on wednesday.
