police have detained a suspect for allegedly throwing a smoke bomb. casita was visiting the port city of what car yama during local elections. the incident comes 9 months after for my prime minister, she and so are they was assassinated while holding a campaign sketch. sonya glasgow is a freelance journalist based in tokyo and i asked her to tell us more about what happened it very much, looks like an attack and though my feeling is that it's a bit like a copycat attack, probably around. you mentioned the other incident last year, but that is really just my, my theory at the moment not much is known. we only know that the, the alleged perpetrator was a 24 year old male or from neighboring huge or prefecture. and people saw him in the crowd, he threw something which landed about one meter from peter, and she was brought to safety very quickly than people who around the person.

shackleton, very quickly pushed him to the ground, does seem to be holding a 2nd device. the seconds from silver objects on and about 2030 seconds later there was an explosion. so basically, moralist, all that, you know, at this stage you see the only one hour and 10 minutes later gave another another speech new by and obviously condemned to the attack. you mentioned that it could be a sort of copy cat attacker, similar to what happened 9 months ago where it is, was fatal a. but can we read anything into the political climate in japan right now that these things are happening? to be honest, i don't see a diary connection to the political climate in japan. the attack last year had a very specific reason. the attacker last year wanted to point out a political failure with regard to a sect that was very prevalent in japan and that had political ties. i don't

believe that this time there is any relation with the current political climate in japan. initially i thought maybe it has to do with the g 7. obviously the material meetings are taking place in the summit will be taking place next month. but at the moment i feel it's too early to really tell what my and this but will security be tightened a given that the g 7 summit is coming up shortly? yes. yes. and they've already tightened. and since last year obviously police have been very nervous since then. there was a lot of criticism how they handle the attack last year. and i heard some extra talking earlier saying that there were more police compared to previous events. also of course heater is in office right now, so he would have more security detail on him anyway. but i think after this attack japan, we ramp up security measures even more. all right. well thank you so much sir.

sonya blush, k there, freelance journalist joining us from tokyo, thank you. rescue us are searching for survivors in the ukrainian city are slow the answer after at least 8 people, including a toddler, were killed in russia as strikes. the latest attack came as russian president vladimir putin signed into law, a bill that will allow him to draft citizens into the military by email, lobby, unskilled, just 50 kilometers from back move, which has witnessed some of the heaviest fighting on the front line in recent months. dropped within the robo in a residential area. devastated by russian shelling rescue was search this apartment block the survivors bringing those who they confined to safety. some residents were in obvious distress. after their neighbourhood was reduced to

rubble. with local officials said at least 7 spots in slo vianza were targeted, including homes and civilian infrastructure. my limo, a router, feel good, good. i was just coming back home. everything should have been all right. fortunate . i had just left a sharp over there was the post office and just beyond it, there was a lot of smoke already. so gonna come on. i was lucky on it. i got to the street and i was told not to go any further because of the explosions. good advancing group globally, want to look at the actual ukranian president vladimir lensky called it's another terror attack on his country. was we change it as $300.00 missiles hit residential areas, regular civilian buildings, or say there are people out of the rubble. everything is being done to save them.

everything is being done to save the wounded. was unable, it weighs 50. the city of buck moot is just 50 kilometers to the south, is slowly answered and is a site of the heaviest fighting on the ukrainian front line. but for ukrainians, attacks on homes like these are a reminder that no way is safe. i asked frank language, a military analyst in the united kingdom. what he makes of the strikes on sla ganske as russia keeps insisting it does not targets civilian sites and ukraine. yes, they certainly do. we can tell something from what presidents zalinski said that the missiles use were asked 300, which are in this context, are repurposed anti aircraft missiles. they're very precise and irregularly used now on, in attacks on, on residential areas that these are,

these were not precise attacks or indiscriminate or intended to kill civilians. and of course, they form part of a much wider campaign of the russians in the one sense of course, attacking civilians through their infrastructure, through their electric, electrical network and so forth, which is seen over the last year. and of course, certain precision attacks on civilian targets most significantly and resolutely in this case, the almost exactly a year ago attack on comatose railway station just up the road. 20 kilometers or so from sloppy. and that was exactly, you know, this is part of a much greater campaign by russia against the civilian population, with the, with the intention of terrorizing. and of course, leanne's is close to back motor, which has a scene are still see some of the heaviest fighting on the ukrainian frontline reports now suggest that ukrainian troops there are under increasingly heavy fire. what more can you tell us about the situation there? yes, the over the last week or so we've seen,

or what the british intelligence say is a re intensification of what's already an intense assault by russians, particularly in the it with our tillery, the trainings under increasing pressure. what seems to be happening, monica, is that the ukrainians are conducting what's called a controlled retreat, which they did before. a one or 2 occasions, notably submitted on that last year. when that retreat is complete, we don't know, but they're holding on. what we also see on the part of the russians is an increase of what appears to be increased coordination between the, the wagner mercenary group and russian airborne units, who seem to be holding the flanks as it were. a button to wiley, combination of gangsters and mercenaries that comprise parking conduct the, the ground to tax in combination now with very heavy ultimately. so right now the credits are holding on. let's see how long they can do. so this is the front simply of course of a hero city for them. but let's see what happens over the next week or 2 is this attack intensifies even further. well, thank you so much, frank led,

which military analysts. thank you so much for sharing all your insights with us and i has a look at some of the other news making headlines around the world. you as president joe biden has repeated that he plans to run for re election in 2024 and will announce his campaign. soon. biden is wrapping up an emotional visit to the republic of ireland. he held a rally in the town. his irish ancestors came from and called ireland part of his soul. a child was killed in indian controlled kashmir when an overcrowded foot bridge collapsed into a rocky river. dozens of people are reportedly injured. crowds had gathered to celebrate a spring harvest festival in the a hindu temple. india has a poor record on bridge safety. a supreme court judge and brazil has ordered for my president, jr. about so narrow to testify before federal police within 10 days. he's to be

questioned about his role in the storming of government buildings by his supporters . in january, brazil's top, a prosecutor said to both scenarios, testimony was needed to clarify what happened in germany's closing its last 3 nuclear power plants, the reactors were due to be taken off the grid last year, but their life spans were extended to combat the energy crisis. germany's aiming to rely on renewable energy for the majority of its power needs by 2035, thousands of miles away and china, germany's foreign minister and a lena bear book has wrapped up her visit, where she held talks on trade bilateral ties taiwan and the war ukraine during her trip, she called on beijing to use its leverage in russia to end the war in ukraine. their book also referenced the renewed tensions in the taiwan strait, saying any military escalation of the region would be a horror scenario for the whole world. a shortly before bab box visited

china, french president, my call had told generalist that he believed the. you should not rely on the u. s. and should define its own china policy. earlier we asked him acrylic a senior research fellow at the german council on foreign relations working on china's foreign and technology policy. what he made of ban box china approach was, well, thank you so much for having me. well, i think indeed this has been a bilateral visit. it has been bebbles 1st visit to china. so she would not be talking explicit people at the united states. what if you implicitly look what she has sort of, conveyed the messages that she had to tell to the chinese side. i think it is very clear that she is mostly in line with the united states here. so i assume we can conclude from that treatment fact quite disagrees here with the french president. in fact, i think our interests may not always be identical with those of the united states,

but it, there's no doubt that europe and the united states are white or light, not least on the shield taiwan. and what about the issue of ukraine babel co colton? china, to use its influence on russia to get the criminal to end the war would leverage, does germany half when it comes to this issue. very limited leverage, i'd say a just like the rest of the continent. i think what the one message that she really conveyed to the chinese foreign minister, i think that's what the europeans can do at this point. is that a providing leaf support, ammunitions weapons from the chinese to the russians would cross red line with a deteriorate the relations between the united uh, between the european union and china and the other side. that is what you really

did in the end. however, i think construct consultations with china are probably not quite realistic. asked both sides. europeans and chinese have differences here in perspective, differences in opinion. and i assume that's sort of the way approach that, you know, in beijing is probably not going to change any of these differences. right. well, similarly a senior research fellow at the german council on foreign relations. thank you so much for that. thank you. and the european space probe is currently bound to the jupiter's moons. the jupiter, i see moves, explorer known as juice laughed at all from french guyana. the agency's longest range mission ever spacecraft is now on an 8 year journey of more than 600000000 kilometers scientists. hope to discover whether jupiter's moods can sustain life in the vast oceans hidden beneath that ice covered. at
