ah, he won't pay checks, engine ticks, sports or to between 1st on the w ah, ah ah, this is the w news live for bird limited traffic flowing again after a massive explosion on the bridge connecting russia to crimea. moscow accuses you kind of blowing up the link to the legally occupied peninsula. keep express has to

live, but is not admitting, carrying out an attack. also coming up, trying to grind to a halt in parts of germany device and nothing new on the creaking national ground network. but this time, authorities of blaming glass in the match by cold german football's classic dorman score. a dramatic last 2nd goal, salvage a point against i tribals by meeting that and much more coming up in school. ah, a math we how'd it's good to have you with us. officials in moscow say limit a traffic as where he started on the bridge connecting russia to the occupied crimea. and in sheila, a huge explosion, badly damaged the crossing and early abroad, road and rail. as to a halt,

rasa has the keys do ye. crane of being behind the destruction. ukrainian officials have expressed the light at the damage to a prestigious symbol of the russian occupation. but keith is not climbing to have carried out an attack. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the strait between russia and occupied crimea. social media footage appease to show the moment of detonation, which russian authorities say was caused by a truck bomb. russia foreign ministry late 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 to many ukrainians.

the timing of the blast just after putin 70th birthday makes it even more welcome to e o, a n. i really got the in the morning and saw the usa integral o e glass in, oh i'll, it's emily, it was very dizzy jane. it over in this is definitely good. knees and the emotions are overwhelming. we don't need the cry, man bridge. that's what it will do, and i don't think that peyton is brave enough to use nuclear weapons in response to believe is dish abuse. this disorder 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 grange hill gray ukrainians. to day was a nice and mostly sunny day in our country and being

a temperature was about 20 degrees celsius and the sun was shining wall. 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 russian forces. once again, put moscow on the back foot. well, alexander mccallski is an assistant professor at the department of security affairs at the us naval postgraduate school in monterey california. he says it's too early to say whether the explosion is a setback for the russian. boy, if it in you crime, ah, it's hard to say really, it's a, this is kind of a 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 depend and 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 effects disabling or even degrading the courage. bridge goes beyond crimea, secrete 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 there kind of downplaying. there's because it's kind of not clear yet, historically to see who really organized the attacked, answered the peers. it has been a bombard bombing 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 to 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 a political leads. 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 off. so it might have of the deescalate dory effect, the putin in, you know, for himself in particular, likes to wait, 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. bridge is roads, power stations and now that pressure is increasing. again, it's really hard to see where, how this is gonna play out. it really plays out in russian that must be fall is more than on the battle. and that's fixed to who is in charge of this retaliation. masika has appointed a new general to lead its troops in ukraine. does this indicate yet more of these increasing concerns about the race and 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 from the nationalist for 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, domestic 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 personal 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. all here in germany. authorities of fleming sabotaged for major disruption to rail services. the transport minister is cooling 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
