oh, would people have to say matters to us or mm, that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is d, w. news live from burly, limited traffic flowing again after a massive explosion on the bridge connecting russia to crimea. moscow excuses he

credit blowing up the link to the legally occupied peninsula. heave expresses delight, but is not admitting, carrying out an attack. also coming up trades gridable, halt in parts of germany, the lies and nothing new on the creaking national bow network. but this time authorities of blaming sabotaged class in the match by cold german german football's classic dublin score. a dramatic last, 2nd goal to salvage a point against my travels by and meaning that and much more coming up it's ah, i'm anthony howard woke up. officials in moscow say limit a traffic has restarted on the bridge, connecting russia to the occupied crimean peninsula. a huge explosion, badly damaged the crossing and early abroad road and royal services to

a halt. russia has accused you kind of being behind the destruction. ukrainian officials have expressed delight at the damage to a prestigious symbol of the russian occupation. but keith is not claiming to have carried out an attack. good. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the strait between russia and occupied crimea. social media footage, appease to show the moments of detonation, which russian authorities say was caused by a truck bomb. russia's foreign ministry les to posted this video, claim to show traffic once again, flowing over the bridge. b rail on road crossing, opened in 2018 as a high profile project overseen by president vladimir putin. it's a key supply route for russia in its invasion of ukraine for many ukrainians.

the timing of the blast just after putin 70th birthday makes it even more welcome to the lady at the event. i really got the in the morning and saw the usa integral o e her last in i'll, a family is was, and they had me. this is janet over donovan. this is definitely good. knees and the emotions are overwhelming. we don't need the cry, man bridge. that's what we'll do. this is, and i don't think that peyton is brave enough to use nuclear weapons in response. me leave is this abuse? is this a lot? ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack. but in his nightly address, ukrainian president vladimir lensky made a thinly veiled reference to the destruction greatly. ukrainians

to day was a nice and mostly sunny day in our country, thinking the temperature was about 20 degrees celsius and the sun was shining. well, unfortunately, in crimea, it was cloudy. still the world now wait to see how putin will respond. many feet an escalation as another blow to wish and false is once again put moscow on the back foot. well, alexander ma tusky is an assistant professor at the department of security efface at the u. s. naval postgraduate school in monterey california. he says it's too early to say with the explosion is a setback for the russian boy, if it in ukraine, ah, it's hard to say really, it's odd. this is kind of bridges. so strategically important for the whole 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 going to 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 effect, the ceiling or even degrading the courage. bridge goes beyond crimea. it's a credit, critical logistical note for the russian forces in the south of ukraine. so the damage even like the 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 there kind of downplaying. there's because it's kind of not clear yet, historically to say, well, really organized the attack. so it appears it has been a bomb threat bombing on many different actors could have been involved,

including even some forces in russia, perhaps. so whatever the cause, ukraine has no interest to put additional pressure on the kremlin to retaliate because there will be the target. 4th, pressure on the kremlin is a growing scene. in this war, his troops going backwards. major infrastructure is now under fire, is potent more vulnerable or more dangerous at this moment in time? oh it's yes, it's very precarious position for the kremlin domestically. politically it's interestingly for now the kremlin is downplaying the incidence of declaring it as a terrorist 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. so it might have a d s, school authority effect. putin in himself, in particular, likes to wait, actually wait out and see what the reactions are and kind of build slowly to

a major decision. so we're, we'll see. but that said, there was a very strong pressure in russian national circles to attack or retaliate in some ways for some while they're key talking point is being to retaliate against the cranium. critical infrastructure, bridges, roads, power stations, and now the pressure is increasing. again, it's really hard to see where, how this is going to play out is really plays out in the russian must be followed, the more than the battle that was alexander mattacheski and assistant professor at the u. s. naval postgraduate school in monterey california. speaking to me, a little earlier on. well here in germany, authorities of blaming sabotaged for major disruption to rail services. the transport minister is calling at a sophisticated attack on vital national infrastructure idle trains and strain and passengers rail services across much of northern

germany ground to hold for 3 hours on saturday. at creaky rail infrastructure and chronic under funding means germans have become used to long delays on that train journeys. but this time was different goods. the reason is active, sabotaged to the cable network cob cables that are essential for handling railway traffic safely was that would deliberately and wilfully cook. the buzz and cables were cut into separate places within hours of each other, disabled digital communications and backups. authorities describe it as a professional attack based on detailed knowledge of train operations. it's not the 1st attack on europe's critical infrastructure. 2 weeks ago, explosions punched holes into the north stream gas pipelines having 3 of the 4 pipes running from russia to germany. whoever's behind these attacks is keen to highlight that vulnerability. all right,
