back up now, but it has been up and gone down again just this afternoon. so what we saw happen is that just shortly after the parliament voted on this measure that you mentioned to declare russia a state sponsor of terrorism. the website was no longer accessible, even clicking on it to read this statement. following the vote, you could, you couldn't get in, and this remains down for some time. the president of the european parliament, roberta metzler, went to twitter to say that a pro kremlin group had claimed responsibility for the attack. and that the, the parliament's a tech team was fighting back against it. and she said that she had one response for the hackers and that's slumber you kleinie, of course, glory to ukraine. now this measure, as you mentioned, does not have legal standing because the parliament at this time only has the ability to declare individuals and organizations as, as terrorist entities. but they hope that this measure will push european union

governments to and, and the european union itself to create a legal framework in which countries can be designated as state sponsors of terrorism. this is something that is done in the united states, but they haven't gone so far as to declare russia one of these, these countries yet. nonetheless, of course, european parliamentarians spoke out against the attack and said this to showed that the measure that they passed today, declaring russia as a terrorist entity, was well proven terry shows reporting for brussels there. well, here's a look at some other stories making news around the world, kosovo on serbia of reached a last minute deal to and a dispute over vehicle license plates, which the you had warned. could trigger ethnic violence, kosovo had planned to fine ethnic serv. drivers using serbian, issued plates, use foreign policy chief said negotiators and brussels, agreed on measures to avoid further escalation. a russian court has opened the

trial of opposition. politician india dashing. the moscow city counselor could face up to a decade in prison for denouncing president vladimir putin invasion of ukraine. his prosecution comes and made an unprecedented crackdown on descent. in russia, the statue of a controversial german colonial officer has been taken down in the may be as capitals in took after pressure from activists. in 1893 kurt font francois commanded a brutal operation in which some 80 people were killed in what was then known as german south west africa. the country was a german colony between 18841950. the european space agency has selected. it's 1st astronaut with a physical disability. the former british paralympics printer, john mcfall, lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. 2 of 6 trainee astronauts are women. yes,

age recruitment. dr. ames to bring diversity to space travel. i gra. john mcfall continues to beat the odds. he lost his leg. it's a teen in a motorcycle accident only to become a paralympics, representing great britain. as a sprinter now is on track to go where no one with a disability has ever gone before up in space as the world's 1st ever pair. astronaut, when, when did turn out, they were looking for a candidate with a physical disability. i thought it was such an inspiring and exhilarating opportunity and i looked to the person specification and i thought, wow, this is, this is really aspirational, this is very brave and very bold thing to do. i'm with my broad scientific background and vast range of experiences. i felt compelled to try and help eda on to this question. can we get some with a physical disability that to, to meaning for work in space?

that's what the european space agency helps to find out. but large and such a new feat will take time as part of the new isa class of recruits. mcfall will 1st work with engineers to understand what changes are needed in hardware to open professional space flight to a wider group of qualified candidate. and the study is expected to last 3 years of the it comes in many different ways. and the world health organization reckons that about 50 percent of the population live with some sort of disability and maybe to present a really affected by it. and so in that, of course, to be an astronaut is a very exclusive thing to be. but having a disability shouldn't rule you out. that was really part of this very special project that we launched in this process. i think the message that i would give to future generations is that science is for everyone. and space travel hopefully can be for everyone. the project is considered a giant lead towards enabling people with physical disabilities to reach new

heights. ah, well, before the bull even got rolling, for germany's world cub opener against japan, the team had a message for fee for german players cover their mouths during a team photo. just ahead of kickoff. it was response to fif us threat of sanctions over the one love arm band. and on the pitch, germany were eager to set things straight after a disastrous exit in russia 4 years ago. but our opener didn't go exactly as plant is high, going to want growth, the debt mach 30 minutes into the game. after converting from this gemini could have easily increased their lead, but the lat fight. the chances were then the finishing was, well, for those japan plot they read back into the scheme. it's to do one level. in the 2nd half was this an upset in the making? the japanese fans seem to think so into my son immediate reality by giving japan the need to one the finest for the next big upset. this was miss time. it was japan

nets. and what time would campaigns, germany? well, to discuss all the latest news from the world called the inc, i tar is philip hepner from dw sports. welcome to the studio phillips. so there was a plenty to talk about. i will say in this germany, japan match, but it wasn't just about football. that's right. the match started off with a team photo om of the unique sorts or to speak. german team covered up their mouse with their hands, basically saying that they're being gagged by the fever. they're not able to express the views and beliefs that they wanted to by wearing the one love arm band and the sanctions by the fi farm. and they're not quite happy with those. and that might still have been on germany's mind because as we all know, that huge upset that japan pulled off against germany. germany looked strong in the 1st half, but didn't really convert their chances and fell victim to quick japanese counterattacks in the 2nd half, and ultimately lost the game. lots of defensive mistakes, that's really the weak point of germany's side. a manuel,

naya nicholas jeweler and also nico slot, are big, not looking very good. here's what pansy flick had to say with this difficult situation. now, when we, when we want to, we want to and f set our surf saygos funding. that was very bad. start even though there was more in it for us it. so now it's really about preparing well for staying over the next 3 days. and then we want to try to come out on top in the end to learn. as we're darden. i'm ender as he go from plotkin or i philip, well germany or of cl leaking, their wounds will say, and spain then actually completely destroyed costa rica in fact. so what does this mean for germany and their chances of going at far in this world cup? germany's bags are against the wall. it's as simple as that. there are basically 2 scenarios that we can draw up quickly. one is the best case scenario for germany. that means they win the next game against spain and japan loses the costa rica. that would mean that all 4 teams are on 3 points, so it's basically even going into the last match. however, there is

a chance that germany get eliminated even by the next match. that would be the case if germany lose against spain and japan gets at least one point against costa rica than dependence. when would be through germany would eliminate after just 2 games. unimaginable almost. well, what about a group f? what exactly happened there? it wasn't much going on there compared to all the excitement in germany is group. we did see that clarissa drew mill against the morocco a bit of a surprising result, considering the courage where the finalists of 2018. however, i do think that they will pick up a little bit and then we saw the 2nd match that belgium just barely squeezed out to win against courageous canadians who played much better actually than belgium did at a penalty that they missed a phone. so davy, so definitely had their chances, but in the end it was much why who was lot one past the keeper and got 3 points for the red devils. all right, philip, now from did you sports? thanks for the well, we mentioned that spain game there and they showed that they are a forced to be reckoned with at this world cup. with an impressive win against

costa rica when this league player danny, or mom, found the back of the net after an artistic effort in the 11th minute. the 1st of 3 goals for spain in the 1st half alone. they didn't slow down their veteran torres with his 2nd go of the match after the break. and then 18 year old gabby added another funny score a convincing 7 new right, that's it for now you're up to date. don't forget. you can always get all the latest news on our website, d, w dot, dot com. thanks for watching. take care panel c version. i head off with the patriarchy. they need to stop doing and to press.
