a point against our travels by and mean that and much more coming up in schools. ah, i'm anthony. how that could have you with us? officials in moscow say limited traffic is restarted on the bridge, connecting russia to the occupied crimean peninsula. a huge explosion, badly damaged the crossing and early abroad road and rail services to a halt. rata has accused ye kind of being behind the destruction. ukrainian officials have expressed the lot at the damage to a prestigious symbol of the russian occupation. but keith is not claiming to have carried out an attack. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the strait between russia and crimea. social media footage appears to show the moment of detonation,

which russian or 30 say was caused by a truck bomb. open to the body to lean far according to preliminary information. this morning, a truck was blown up on the motorway section of the crimean bridge from the side of the term on peninsula causing 7 fuel tanks of a train heading towards the crimean peninsula to catch fire. as a result, to spans of the road bridge, partially collapsed, of the mud, been left by luther officials, closed the road bridge and railway to traffic while they assessed the damage. while ukraine has not claimed responsibility, many military analysts are already assuming their behind the attack cave 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. its railway is a key route for troops and materiel to the front lines of russia's war in ukraine,

but it also carries symbolic value. vladimir putin ordered its construction after seizing crimea in 2014, and inaugurated its opening behind the wheel of a truck. one analyst says the attack is likely to turn up the heat on the russian president back home. this bridge has putin's name all over it. it's the symbolism of his projects. and this comes at a time where there's already been lots of factions, maneuvering in moscow, blaming the military, blaming the wagner group, blaming putin. the blame game started and such a symbolic attack by the ukrainians is only going to accelerate that ah, many ukrainians. the timing of the attack a day after putin's birthday is made the taste of victory, even sweeter coolio where ever you wake up in the morning and

saw the usa into the ground. oh ye, alas, in old o family, it was very heavy. this is janet over in this is definitely good news, and the emotions are overwhelming. we don't need the crimean bridge. we will do this, and i don't think that putin as brave enough to use nuclear weapons in response me leave. it disappears us disorder. the world will now wait and see just how putin responds. many fear, an escalation after another blow to russian forces put to moscow on the back foot. once again, we our atlas k quickly up to speed down some of the other stories making news around the world. the cell, germany's transport minister says sabotage is to blame for major disruption to rail services. train journeys in northern germany were suspended for several hours because of 7 communications cables. security officials are investigating the damage

to fiber optic lynch lynx rather in 2 separate locations. north korea's never say it is 5 more ballistic missiles just days after launching a nuclear capable rock over japan. south korea is called the latest firings. a serious provocation. young says the launches are in response to threats from washington. us and south korea have been holding joint military troops. protesters of quest with security forces in fresh anti government demonstrations in iran. it's the 4th week of protest set up by the death of a young woman hill by police for breaking a runs. strict islamic dress loss already say she died from a longstanding illness. that we can go back to our top story. now i'm joined by alexander,

but tusky and assistant professor at the department of security phase at the u. s. naval postgraduate school in monterey, california. i want to stress his views here. do not represent those of the u. s. government alexander it could be with us. russia says the bridge bridge has partially reopened. if this was an attack, does this mean it's filed oh, it's hard to say really, it's odd. this is kind of the bridges so strategically important for the russian war effort that even a downgrading of the bridge might cause so significant difficulties. so the key damage to watch in some ways is the rail line, which has had substantial fire going on for hours so. so this is crucial for the very rail dependent russian military. also, it's interesting guy in terms of kind of the news reports is still too early to assess the damage. russia has an interest to downplay the damage to the bridge and may claim parts of it are open for traffic before it's really safe to do that. ah,

so it's kind of very, very important to, to wait a little and see what happens in terms of the effects disabling or even degrading the courage. bridge goes beyond crimea, secret critical logistical nodes for the russian forces in the south of ukraine. so the damage even like of some, some damage, will make their situation even more precarious. ukraine is delighted, but not claiming responsibility. why the caton mouse at this point for now the criminal. it's their kind of downplaying. there's because it's kind of not clear yet, historically to say, we're really organized the effect on so the peers, it has been a bomb bomb. bomb being on many different actors could have been involved of it, including even us and forces in russia perhaps. so whatever the cause, ukraine has no interest to put additional pressure on the kremlin for to retaliate because there will be the target for it. pressure on the kremlin, it is a growing thing. in this war. his troops going backwards,

made to infrastructure is now under fire, is potent more vulnerable or more dangerous at this moment in time? i it's yes, it's very precarious position for the kremlin domestically politic leads. interestingly for now the kremlin is downplaying the incidence of declaring it as a theorist act which dampens the urge to respond with a substantial escalation. and that this downplaying approaches become the standard before this is how the kremlin reacted to many of the setbacks in the war so far off. so it might have of the deescalate dory effect. the putin in, you know, for himself in particular, likes to wait to actually wait out and see what the reactions are and kind of build slowly through a major decision. so we're, we'll see. but that said that there was a very strong pressure in russian national circles to attack or retaliate in some ways. for some while they are key talking point is being to retaliate against the ukrainian critical infrastructure, bridges, roads,

power stations. and now that pressure is increasing again, is really hard to see where, how this is gonna play out. it really plays out in a rush and the must have fallen. it's more than on the battle that speaks to who is in charge of this retaliation. masika has appointed the new general to latest troops in ukraine. does this indicate yet more of these increasing concerns about the recent setbacks? yes, so the purpose in general is again, domestic rather pointing a by general that has a reputation for brutality, is really to respond to the criticism law from the nationalist war constituency of putin. that the criminal is not really fighting the war brutally enough. so this is again, more of an appeasement to that pressure. the much the pressure i and this, this general general service is their favorite because of the reputation for brutality, as well as for the blind obedience for even questionable orders. but the problem beyond this, again, the issues of the russian military are systemic. the they, even on the 1st of all side,

they run across the entire chain of command. so replacing a general is more like window dressing is not going to turn things around very, very quickly in any way. security expert excellent met tusky. thanks so much. thank you. the, the sport now endorsement and by munich face stuff in the biggest class in the bonus league, and known as the classic. boardman will hoping to back a trend with by having one not at the last 10 encounters. and thanks to a last 2nd go. they were able to hold the mighty bavarian to a tool, draw the legendary yellow wall at dart men's acknowledge doing. the park was throbbing ahead of the much anticipated clash with arch rivals, buyer munich. but byron would diff, late dormant hope with just over half an hour gone the younger rest during the

honor his reading through a sea of legs before the visitors up one neil and that's how it stood at half time . then 8 minutes after the restart the rice anais made it to nil for buying some sloppy darkman defending put the ball in sunday's path. and keeper alex meyer could only diverted into the top of the net. but 20 minutes later with time and hope running out for darkman, antony modesto said up, you super mckoko to cut fire, lead to 21 modesta doing a great job to retain possession, an mckoko firing past manuel noah. at the 90 minute mark byron's kingsley commanded some pulling and tugging uncut. e. my dear me. and he was sent to an early shower. now with buying a man down and added time,

dartmouth kept pushing and modesta bag the equalizer in the home team. your rep did any motions, nico slotted beck putting the ball right where modesta good head home to all the final score and the draw felt like a win for dormant, who stay level on points with buyers in the title race. and so he is, what doctor midfield jude bellingham had to say after the match. the bigger picture is that, that vibe and the energy that that dro gives off and that the wire on got back into the game. that's the important title. and that's why it may be, feels like a win because the sensors. ok, so well for the next games you know, the atmosphere in the change is going to be burning and, but now it's of course the type in to the next. now new cut, shabby alonso lead lab accusing out of the relegation. son with a decisive for nil when against chalka, the former spine,
