an adventure full of hardships, dangers and death. 3 years and that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. ah. ah. ah, this is d w. news coming to you live from berlin in the german capital, a united act of remembrance, the presidents of israel and germany lay a wreath at the memorial for the victims of the holocaust. it's isaac had songs 1st state visit. he has appealed toward both countries to deepen their partnership.

also on the program, plans for a referendum in russian held castle are put on hold. pro moscow officials had been discussing a boat, paul in the region, joining russia, but ukraine's counter offensive means their plans are quote on paul's for now. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. israel and germany's president said, laid remembrance, read, sat berlin's holocaust memorial. israel's isaac had sought and germany's plank author stein might have made the symbolic visit after had talked, had addressed the parliament in berlin. he's in germany commemorating the 50th anniversary of the munich olympics massacre. on monday, germany apologized for miss handling the murders in $972.00, which left the levin is really olympic team. members dead at the hands of listing

intel or cheat political correspond melinda crane has been following. present household speech shines with media in studio on the importance of remembrance was that the main point of counseling speech, it was but in conjunction with the responsibility that is entailed, that comes from that remembrance. and in that sense, he talked about the remembrance as not only a duty to the victims of the holocaust, the showa, but also as a duty to the future to ensure of course that such crimes will never be repeated. and in that context, he quoted his own father in a very moving way. his father was not only the 1st is railey president, to speak to the bonus tug in 1987. so 35 years prior to this but also was with the british armed forces that fried the

concentration camp. bergen belsen, which president head of this president has a we'll visit later on. and he said that his father said about that freeing of bagging bells, and that only the victims themselves have the right to forgive. but that all of us have the duty to remember for their sake, but also with the implications in terms of responsibility for the future. so a lot of remembrance, but also again looking forward, the israeli president touched on geo politics it towards the end of the speech she referred to iran's nuclear ambitions. what he say about that indeed he did, and he basically did derive a german responsibility from the crimes of the holocaust. also in regard to stopping iran, as he said, he said iran is dedicated to israel's destruction. he said that same thing, by the way, when he met 7,

president stein mire on sunday. and that the accord currently being negotiated by germany and other powers to try to get iran to return to the 2015 nuclear deal. he said on sunday, in somewhat more direct speech is to phyllis and water down, and that it must be stopped somewhat more diplomatically. he indicated the same here to the one to talk today. a very important moment in germany is really relations right now. we've seen a compensation agreement for the victims of the munich olympics massacre finally agreed after so long. what is all the say about german is really relations right now, melinda? well, the reason that we're hearing not only the 2 speakers today, stress the duty to remember and the special responsibility that germany has to israel. but also yesterday at the commemoration in munich at the air field where the israeli hostages, most of them were killed. 2 were killed in the olympic village of course. but the

reason we're hearing this stressed so forcefully by all of the speakers is that in fact we are seeing a divergence in german and israeli attitudes when it comes to exactly this point with the majority of his ria, is really saying this is an ongoing responsibility that germany has for the jewish people and for the israeli state, whereas the minority of germans see it that way. and in fact, nearly half of german say it's time to draw a line under history that will be regarded by many, many people, including within the german political leadership with alarm, as will a further finding of a recent study that fully a quarter of german say that jews have too much power in the world, an anti semitic trope that clearly is being fermented by social media, by hate sites, sites hate speech sites. and that's one reason we heard the president of the buddhist talk de emphasizing the importance of political leadership to fight

ingrained anti semitism, which she said is at the heart of german political culture, our german culture in many ways. melinda, thank you so much. he political correspond melinda crane, sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. liz truss will become the u. k. next prime minister today as follows, 2 months of campaigning, sparked by the resignation of prime minister boris johnson. the outgoing prime minister has just left downing street for the last time. johnson found to support his successor. canadian police say one of the suspects in a series of fatal stabbings has been found dead. they are still searching for his brother who may be injured. the 2 are accused of killing 10 people and injuring 18 in saskatchewan province. one of the deadliest tax in canada's history. russian installed authorities in southern ukraine are delaying river. a referendum

on whether care sons' should become part of russia, official side of the security situation, a rare acknowledgement of the ukrainian counter offensive there. keith says it's making progress and has taken several settlements in southern and eastern ukraine. this video, tamed by reuters, appears to show soldiers raising a ukrainian flag in one small town in on region kia began it's long awaited counter attack. last week. earlier i spoke to d. w correspondent, nick connelly in kiya. i asked him whether the postpone of the plant annexation referendum is assigned that ukrainian forces are making progress on retaking his home. i think it definitely is. we didn't really ever have a concrete date, but we did understand they wants to hold this referendum, which really reminds us of what russia versus playbook was in crime me back in 2014, around kind of the middle of this month of september. i don't think they are going

to give up on trying to do that, but certainly for now, that is not because it's just to right now in his own seemingly hourly shilling of rush positions that by ukraine. lots of video on social media. it's very difficult to verify of attacks on russian western suppose, but also on the infrastructure on the bridges across the new pro river. i think it's important to remember that this is a very localized offensive. this is just about the west bank of the pro river. the small section of territory that rush controls the easy for you to isolate and cut off from supply. this is not because it's not about the much bigger part of 70 crime that it's still fairly comfortably in russian hands. but certainly this is a blow, and we have been seeing russian pro government blog as being a bit more open there about the damage that the credit for doing. and really kind of warning and demanding more in the way of supplies and neutral focus from rush. these have to prevent really crane making roads on is really important symbolic target. this was the 1st major city that russia was able to take me crane right at

the beginning of the war with pretty shambolic ukrainian defense. so if it proves possible, you can to retake the city that really will be assigned to ukrainian for those. who do i, why to will ukraine is able to really push back this russian tied talk to his nick about the separation nuclear plants, ukraine's president beloved me. lensky says it's on the burge of disaster. what's going on at the power plant right now. this is a very, very dangerous situation. this is europe's biggest nuclear power plant, one of the biggest, worldwide, and one that is on the front lines. and we've seen video and photo images on the internet or the show seem show russian ministry positions russian that you kit on the territory of that nuclear station. sometimes even within, inside the structures of this power plant, as we understand any one of the 6 boxes currently operational. but there is shilling going on every day in it around that plant. we saw those in sessional monitors for those outside,

but he's trying to come in to try to get an idea of what the situation the ground. they still haven't released a report in full, but there is a feeling that you know, this is a time bomb. and unless this pamphlet is fully shut down, this is something that could really be a pose hom, wanting to people in ukraine, but also to most of europe. i think it was important to remember that it's not just the danger of a direct hit, but even if the power plant is operational, if for instance, the energy supplied to the plant is interrupted, sometimes that could affect the cooling and could lead to the kind of disaster that we saw in general, so it's not just about direct hit, it's about any kind of interruption to the work of this problem that is exceedingly dangerous to hundreds of thousands, not millions of people in this part of europe. nick, thank you very much for now. our correspond nick connelly, they're in tip now to pakistan, where authorities in the south of the country have breached a fresh major, fresh water lake as it threatens to overflow and swamp. nearby towns,
