shopping and dining office and jolly alice services will be our guest at frankfurt airport city. managed by frappe waterloo. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, russia bridge to cried me. house partially collapsed after a massive explosion. most with 3 people were killed in the blast, which has caught the vital link between the russian mainland and the legally annex peninsula. and i vice after the ukrainian precedence calls at the beginning. but i

will not claim responsibility. also i had a boss lead as of you rounds of revolutionary god and wraps up sanctions against her on the government says the measures will raise the pressure on you run why it's cracked down on last protest after the death of a woman in police custody on thailand is owed in funerals for the children killed in the next 3 months. like a morning scott, buddhist temples to bid farewell to be a lot boys who died in thailand's deadliest last kid. ah, i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. russia transport ministry says that limited road traffic has resumed on the bridge connecting crimea to russia. it partially collapsed up to being hit by a major explosion, a key road,

unreal link from the ration mainland to the annexed crimean peninsula, russian authorities, i blaming the blast on the track bonding, and say that 3 people were killed. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the straight between russia and crimea. social media footage appears to show the moment of detonation, which russian authorities say was caused by a truck bomb. opened bloody to land for, according to preliminary information this morning, a truck was blown up on the motorway section of the crimean bridge from the side of the time on peninsula causing 7 fuel tanks of the train, heading towards the crimean peninsula to catch fire. as a result to spans of the road bridge partially collapsed the my been, but i look at them. officials closed the road bridge and railway to traffic while they assess the damage. while ukraine has not claimed responsibility,

many military analysts are already assuming they're behind the attack. keith has repeatedly threatened to strike the crimean bridge, which is the only direct road and rail link between russia and crimea, the territory it illegally annexed in 2014. it's railway is a key route for troops and material to the front lines of russia's war and ukraine . but it also carries symbolic value. vladimir putin ordered its construction after season crimea, and inaugurated its opening behind the wheel of a truck. one analyst says the attack, which came a day after putin 70th birthday, is likely to turn up the heat on the russian president back home. this bridge has peterson's name leveretts. it's the symbolism of his projects. and this comes at a time where there is already been lots of factions, maneuvering in moscow, blaming the military, blaming the vog degree,

blaming puts in the blame game started, and the such as symbolic, attacked by the ukrainians, is any going to accelerate that? ukrainian officials celebrated the attack on line and adviser to the ukrainian president, wrote crimea the bridge, the beginning. everything illegal must be destroyed. everything stolen must be returned to ukraine. everything occupied by russia must be expelled with an image of the collapsed bridge. while the official twitter account of the ukrainian government, simply commented sick, bern, rushes foreign ministry said the social media posts revealed ukraine's quote, terrorist nature russian installed officials and crimea had said, the damage would be quickly repaired. of course, berlin's mouth. yes. belinda is in ukraine. see to yoke. nikolai eve, he earlier told us more about ukraine's official reaction to the incident.

yeah, ukrainian officials haven't said much about it. of course, there's a lot of speculation on how and by whom this was conducted this attack, whether it was which seems a little at the 2 most people at the moment, the most likely version by a truck loaded with explosives or whether it was some kind of or asked try rockets most probably. um, but the ukranian officials haven't said much about it that there was a tweet by the presidential advisor, me hi. lo put, the jak will kind of own did say, saying that every territory must be returned. and this was a legitimate target as it was in the legal construction. but there's not much more than that. there's also been speculation about ukraine secret service, which has denied any one man. okay, now away from the officials,

you've been talking to other ukrainians. what have they been saying? we've just been somewhere outside of town, where old people they were working in their gardens and staying in these dutch as the summer houses. and they were saying they were celebrating today. and that's pretty much the mood all across the country. the strike has been expected. the ukrainian postal service has been issued a sam about destroyed ridge, of course, not with pictures from today, but with drawings and they, the government has said several times that they consider this a legitimate target. so was more a question of when and how and whether it would be possible then whether they would attempt it is seen as a legitimate target and the whole of the country. and then lots of means on the internet. celebrating this means, for example, showing a president lensky grilling meet skew is over the burning bridge or a high mass, a rocket launcher, swimming on the see on the, on the,

on the rubber boat next to the bridge. all kinds of, i mean, celebrating this. ok, it'll be correspondence with. yes. belinda reporting from ukraine's c. t of me. good. i thank you. brush out lames. the incident on the track bobbing. i asked frank lead of edge a military analyst for his take on that is inquired the president putin has ordered . we'll be looking and looking into all this in some detail. my own view is that there's probably a little bit more to it than a truck. i doubt it was a mess, all the cranes don't have my size with that range. demolition experts of course spend their lives of this kind of operation. this is a dream for military saboteurs. i have a suspicion to maybe something of a, maybe a submersible involved or perhaps prelate explosives. but we'll see. we'll see, walked out. what comes out of this? as i say, the russians. they say it was a truck and that's probably they go to remain their story. okay,

here's the thing. do you green haven't taken any direct responsibility, but it's official, celebrated the incident or line if it actually was you green. why wouldn't be officially claimed responsibility for the same reason that they avoid claiming direct responsibility for attack, such as bel garad and other ammunition dumps and installations inside russia over the last 7 or 8 months. let's not forget, this is whatever the russians say it is a key part of russian infrastructure. but look, there have been leaks, as mathias said, everybody knows who did it. there's no doubt about his mother's formal and out. so not this was a ukrainian operational. you said it's a significant part of russia's infrastructure. tell us how significant is this bridge? most of russia's military supplies heading towards the front that mathias was on mc alive. curse on nava cock over. comes through over that bridge is 36000 tons

a day of material people and fuel cross that bridge. and it's gonna make it said that the, the function of the bridge simply cannot be replaced. what the russians will have to do now is use fairies. they have got some military transport there to replace some of the military carrying capability. but it simply won't come near to the, the capacity the bridge. their big problem now is that a lot of the traffic will come down through the town of multiple, which is just northwest, actually my alcohol. and that puts, it puts the supplies to crimea right within the range of rebut ukrainian artillery who can exercise. and let's say the influence over that. so it's a vital artery into the crimea. i mean, russia is obviously not happy about her despite a glance at enzo walked could be the response to this. yes, eddie, that's, that's the, that's the key question here. there's a lot of quite understandable jubilation about this,

but it won't go unanswered. now, this is the 1st significant strike on, on a russian territorial key infrastructure item of key infrastructure. it's outside ukrainian territory from the russian perspective course from the credit perspective. it isn't what we saw last week with respect to the pipes in the north sea, but the russians indicating the capability, that's my analysis to be able to strike outside their characters. of course, we know they can't, and i have a suspicion that's where the response may come, not within ukraine itself, but outside ukraine. and that might be a, another step along the escalator path that we're already on who have to wait and see how that develops. there, but thank you very much, frank, and add vh and military analyst for your time. thanks, eddy. so how much of a big blow is the bridge attack the foot? i'll jak star russia analyst constant and they get well, it is

a very damaging image to see this burning bread are a few hours after within 70 if anniversary ended up bots. look, russia is not a democracy and no one's going to mock futon on television. then of, there's not going to be an opposition time when they'll question time in parliament, people asking questions. oh, why? the thought is that love prevent destruction of the bridge, which leads as you rightly sent from russia to illegally occupied crimea, up. so it is not going to be a big public problem for foods because it's going to be more, oh, oh, is ations of ukraine of terrorism? stuff like that as the russian foreign ministry already did. but of course, if you consider what people at the top will be thinking, of course they will be thinking, look, this is a blow. this is someone who said that this is

a symbol. someone who opened this bridge, someone who made a big point over big case, also linking rock, the grimy of saying is going to be forever. so i think it's rather showing again to the elite of russia, that putin is not fully in control. that's the significance. obviously weaver had how i ration officials have reacted to this matter. what about our other rations on the ground a holiday reacting to the blast? well, i think the population will evidently learn about it. and quite a few people who really think that the crimea is legally russian will be enraged by this kind of a callous act by ukrainians growth and quote a. but i suppose that more than one people ever since the mobilization was an out of it's ready for the 7th of december, realize this is real war, this is not some kind of tv show. we should just watch every evening. if i suppose

that is going to add to realization that this is an old old war, but then again, eddie, it will not lead to revolution to morrow to a crowd storming the gramlin and saying, ah, down the boots. are these things take a lot of time to germinate in russia if ever, and if ever, it also has a thing that the deputy chair of the security council of the russian federation, dmitri amendment ev, previously issued a warning about such an attack. while the attack has happened, what is likely to be their response from russia? yeah, people are asking this question including, by the way, lots of people on ukrainian social media, whether putting this finally going to escalate. i let people that like that. i do not think that this warren's or some kind of nuclear demonstration. i don't think that will go for that. but what i think could happen, you could have more shelling of. ah, let us say a major ukrainian. that is, ah,

we can see more of a pressure on peaceful population in you great, more of demonstrative atrocities. this could be, the thing that i put and put, employ just is usually hair tactics. but if you, i mean every without asking now about the possibility of our over kind of nuclear strike or nuclear demonstration, rather, i personally made the wrong. i do not think that puts in. we'll see, even this symbolic act, highly symbolic back warranty. nuclear okay, did use rashana less constantine a get. thank you. they ukrainian authority say they have found a $200.00 individual graves and a mass grave in the eastern city of lemon. the military governor of the don't ask region as posted photos of the graves on line. the governor says exclamations i've

already begun. police see the exact number of bodies in the mars, grieve is still unknown. officials have not confirmed whether the dead as civilians or ukrainian soldiers. russian troops retreated from the area last weekend. alice get you up to speed on so of the other stores and they can use around a wild flood waters have stranded thousands of travelers. nigeria, the west flooding in the decade, has submitted a major highway. some people have in stock for 5 days. flats of killed more than 300 in nigeria, so father's here. the school district in ovalo, the texas has suspended his entire police force pending the findings of prove into the mass shooting that a gun man killed 19 children and 2 teachers last me. families of some of the victims have been demanding accountability after police officers. we've had more than an hour to intervene noon every now in thailand.
