the the, this is dw news, lloyd from berlin tonight. the questions surrounding that catastrophic implosion of a submersible deep in the north atlantic. officials are now grappling with who was responsible for investigating the catastrophe which killed all 5 people on board near the wreckage of the titanic. tonight we'll talk to someone who survives an accident at the very thing. so i also coming up some shocking claims from the head

of the buckner mercenary group for russia in eastern you crate, you get me pre gorge and play me that military leaders in moscow are telling the public lies about the war in ukraine and germany skilling off large labor shortages forcing the government to change. it's tough to immigration laws and to welcome skilled workers, while at the same time, the far right anti immigration, a of the party, enjoying a surge of support here in germany, achieving its highest ever approval rate. the my break off is good to have you with this one day on from learning about that catastrophic implosion that killed all 5 passengers on board of the titans. impressionable tributes are now pouring in from realm tips,

friends and colleagues. but experts are still trying to determine what exactly went wrong after vessel debris was found on the ocean floor, some 500 meters from the titanic wreck itself. the loss has provoked some criticism and calls for regulations on deep sea taurus. at the bottom of the atlantic ocean, next to the wreckage of the titanic, now lies the ruins of the titan. debris found by search teams confirmed the submersible imploded, some 3 and a half kilometers beneath the surface. the tragic, that's the 5 people on board have triggered questions about the safety and ethics of such adventures. ocean is a very dangerous place. it's not a playground. okay, so this notion of tourism needs to take into consideration the danger of the ocean . it's a restless beast, just waiting for you to make one mistake. it will swallow you up, you'll never be seen again. and 2nd, this is not just the uh,

site for of shipwreck. this is where more than a 1000 men, women and children breed their last. this is their final resting place. it's a great site. when the titanic stang, a 111 years ago, it paved the way for new rules governing commercial vessels, etc. like having life boats on board for all passengers, submersible was never independently tested and many see much like the titanic, early safety warnings was nord, a german tourist who took the trip in 2021, set the submersible, had electrical problems and lost one of its stabilizers during his dive, the p h, but the issues we had on my trip, i have to say on the whole thing was not thought through my name. it should not have continued with all that we know today. give us more advice the time disaster. some hope will inspire its own regulations to improve the safety of the fairly new

industry for extreme with ventures. undeterred by risks, and i suspect the will continue to say this is sort of the industry and grow. there may be costs more regulation, better understanding of how these sorts of vehicles are design built and certified for use and these dates a deep sea environments. this is a relatively new field with uh, you know, a relatively short history of trying to cater to that deep sea tourism industry. and you know, this is the 1st tragedy of its nature. the titan was operating in international waters. so it didn't fall under one particular countries, regulations, the fragment and nature of ocean governance could make it difficult to deliver, to call for regulations. with a more now of joy by professor john lennon. he's the dean of the glasgow school for business and society professor. it's good to have you with this,

you have research what is known as dark tourism, which is tourism of sites of disasters and atrocities. can you explain how the titanic site became such a popular attraction? so the titanic is on usual in the there are thousands of racks on the ocean floor, but this one exists, a particular fascination for us. and it's because it's being represented and re represented so many times in may be a television film document, right? it has to come an icon. if you live, it can be narrative around it. it's the largest chip, the luxury ship, the on the single ship makes for an interesting story. so it is occupied a special place that perhaps it says to ship. so all the ships, uh, the big files to continue that voyages. fortunately, so didn't make it that those guys just don't get to con,

get coverage. the time it gets bought. actually visiting such a rack is i very expensive and very extreme for full of tourism. and that is a very small part of the overall market. so thinking sounds that are continue in this kyle from the recall adventure tourism that goes from soft stuff to harder stuff to the very end to which is quite extreme. and that would be something like the underwater is the thing that we've been talking about, but also the trips to things like that already on a trench, which you can also do, which is almost 7 miles on to was off. and it's comes in, in about 750000 with us for right, because of the titanic site it's, it's also the last resting place for the, for people who were not able to get off the titanic. but it's like, i mean it's,

it's weird. there remains, roommate should private companies like ocean beach, they even be taking torres to this wreckage site as well. so we live in a liberal democracy. so a um there are uh, regulations covering access to such sites. and those fall there now prohibited seduce in many ways it's like many sites solve a trusted se sites as lost. his life, us killing people are drawn to these places that exists a dog, fascination. and that's what i saw tobias in dog tourism. and often those visitors will go to there on the basis of learning, educating themselves about what has happened there. and hopefully emerging from that doctor visits that experience in a past supplies, southern concent flights. it's the very was that we can do very often as a rice,

is there one less than that we can learn from this tragedy and do you think there will be consequences for deep c tourism moving forward? i think i think in my world is in the service and these the sites, whether it's ash that's the canal or come errors, sites in cambodia in cos and sites because i, they provide evidence that such events that they provide documentation to prevent denials. but in the case of the titanic, it's an important size for the files of people who tragically lost their lives. and i think we have the saw in the treatments of the sites being quite referential and quite canceled in, in looking at it as what it is. the final resting place for many of the souls who

lost the law. professor john lee from the glasgow school for business and society because we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us on this friday. thank you . thank the head of the russian mercenary group. wagner has issued what sounds like a declaration of war against his countries on military. if guinea for goods posted the video message, he accused the army of launching strides on his own troops. he also said that most scales invasion of ukraine was based on lies by the russian military's leadership is wagner groups spearheaded russians capture of the ukrainian city of buckboard last month of battlefield success. that has allowed him to criticize most scale with impunity. and the main target of provisions latest ty rate is the russian defense minister. i miss the defense ministry is trying to deceive the public on

the president. and to tell a story that that was some crazy aggression by ukraine, and that together with the entire nature of their lines, they were planning to attack us. not, not by the so the so called special operation of february 24th will started for other reasons. you pc or the pulling now military analysts, marina monroe, and she's with the board studies department at kings college marie, it's good to see you need the shocking claims coming from the head of wagner. what do you make of that good evening? well, it is interesting that wagner has been silent for almost a month, and i mean needs getting precaution, and now he's coming out again a in between. we have seen accusations that apartment lease russian armed forces have attacked. wagner, troops, and one hostage has been taken, and now it seems this back and forth game. and i think to

a certain degree is the ministry of defense and is going to show wagner is that it's not going to tolerate such behavior. even if regarding himself has direct links to put in. so i, i think we're going to see this power game for a while, but i don't think there will be a major escalation because administrative defense also understands that it's a clue of the kremlin. and the 2 of the kremlin kip, the military in check amongst other things. and therefore, wagner or progression can allow himself to be as explicit as he is without any punishment. so if he's that important for pollutants war effort, what if anything, can the russian defense ministry due to a, to put in there to check them out and put it back in line as well or internally perhaps, or will be moves by the ministry of defense to convince,

put into silence wagner in a way, but without any sort of physical violence. and we will see you on the battlefield. as i said, it's them. the russians attack the wagner group, one soldier has been taken hostage. now, wagner is claiming that the russians has have fired on their positions. so those kind of skirmishes were likely to see, but i think mostly those things will be settled internally. and i think of regarding the also benefits from going out and attracting public attention. and maybe his tom thing is also useful for the m o. d to take action. and we have seen that in the past 6 months, for instance, wagner has prompted the m. o. d, about the defenses after the loss of the mom and withdrawing from paris on. and it seems like it's not the only reason, but it seems like it had some impact on the sinking,

holding trends. thinking progressing also said in this video that the public, they've been lied to, that there was no native threat to russia, no ukrainian threat to russia. do we know, is this going to have any impact at all on the opinions or mood among ordinary russians about this war as well? i don't think that progression has the power to influence the entire russian population because the narrative not just prior to the war, but for the past at least 15 years has been that a need or is preparing a color revolution inside russia. so need or has been this book demand for quite a while, and i don't think that one statement from pre gosh, and will likely alter the views that, that have been persistent in the russian population. military analysts, marina roland from kings colors, the one that is always but really we appreciate your time in your insights. thank

you. my pleasure. thank you for having me. let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, voters and molly, you have overwhelmingly bank constitutional changes in a referendum that the ruling military junta says will eventually restore civilian rule. the electoral authority says more than 97 percent voted in favor of the reforms. observers and opponents reported security incidents and irregularities during the about the un nuclear chief raphael gross, he has met with the head of russia's nuclear agency in leningrad. he said that to discuss the safety of these upper region nuclear power plant, which is currently under russian control. moscow has urged the human agency to prevent ukrainian attacks on the plant, but keep alleges russia may be planning an attack on the planet itself. severe storms brought heavy rains hill and flash flooding the parts of germany on thursdays storms collapsed roofs and upgraded trees. in the central state of

headsets, the city of crossing was especially hard with the severe weather disrupting bus and real trap. germany lacks skill, doctors, teachers, and tech workers are all in short supply. so the government is now looking to recruit new talent and to make the country more attractive to foreigners with the needs of qualifications. that means changing the laws around immigration to bring in more people from outside the european union. it's a step towards making germany a more attractive destination for emigration. members of the board to stuck on friday said yes, the changing the skilled workers will be able to cut out. we need to be more open to bright minds and hot working hands. we need to get better at competing for global talent. and this low is making sure of that, and even putting it on experts say each year, gemini needs about $400000.00 skilled workers to come to the country from abroad to

fill the gaps. the hope is that this new law with that small flexible rules could entice more professionals. the changes mean people with the university degree and the job offer to find it easier to get the residency permit. in germany, i teach specialists in high demand and in some cases won't even need to have a degree to come work here. then you little problem is less through a policy and a so called opportunity card for those skilled workers who wants to find a job. after arriving into money. there are also new rules, the qualified asylum seekers walk over to hear those recruit qualifications. we will be able to access the labor market. this has to be a but making it possible for people to participate here and treating them with respect. that's the only way it work down with down what may look good on paper. it could be very different in practice, critics one that by lowering the salary threshold, people could be paid unfairly or even exploited. and how quickly the storage is be

able to process based applications. remember, this is a country where many government agencies still use fax machines. germany was recent people did the worst place for foreign workers in the survey. looking at issues such as access to housing and digital infrastructure. there is a global competition for skilled labor and germany has some catching up to do and respect to ease. integration comes as a new pola voters here in germany, it shows that support for the far right anti immigration, a f. d party has reached its highest level ever. the survey funds that 90 percent of voters would pick the a you have the elections were held. this week that would make the 2nd strongest party in germany, 2 percentage points ahead of the social democrats, of the current transfer, a lot. schultz. the party who came out best in this ball with a 29 percent shared the vote for the conservative c d. u, they are currently in the opposition here at berlin. i,

for more of this we're going to bring in our political corresponded catherine blankets to get rid of it. do we know what has caused or, or feel this shift towards the right? i mean, migration is still the leading topic and the main motivation for people to move to the right in germany. it's a small belies as this part of the voters and it is also topic that's been in the news in germany quite a bit recently. we're just seeing the report. so we've seen headlines about local authorities struggling also to deal with ukrainian refugees fleeing the war. and then there's talks about a saw and reforms at an in the you level. but you know, this also goes to show this resolved, goes to show that the public is disillusion with the current government. there's a question of dealing with fears, economic fear, stemming from inflation high cost of living, but also a fear of transformation. and the government has had some communication problems in the past, increasing the social security with some internal fights rather than alleviating

the fears. yeah, i mean, if i think about what we've seen in italy, but we've seen hungary for white parties, it's certainly been gaining support. they've been getting traction in other european countries is germany or what we seeing is this part of the common trend or thread we do see that and as you've mentioned far i part is, has been on the rise in europe and also non european countries as well. just recently, racing for a party is being voted into a government in italy, of course, but also in sweden and finland as well in hunger, in poland. the far right parties have ruled for quite some time, and also see similar pulling results to those we see in germany it has to name a few countries. the specific raises for each country to move to the right of course, diverge. but what is the case in germany also holds true in other places as well. popular. give easy answers to complex problems and we're facing quite a few of those complex problems worldwide. yeah, yeah, that is, i would say almost an understatement. dw,

put of corresponding catherine lock is catherine. thank you. it's great sports. he's now we're gonna start with basketball. freshman victor then been yamaha is the 1st overall picking the 2023 in the draft. he makes history as the 1st ever frenchman and the 2nd europe, and to be the top selection. there are, there was no debate about to the san antonio spurs. we choose the larger than life 19 year old has been called the best prospect since james liberal and came out of high school 20 years ago. the victor when the 2 meters 22 or 7 put for victor. when bon yamma is head and shoulders above most on the basketball court, with the agility of a player half his size, victor is often described as out of this world, the last player to receive this amount of high prior to playing, was in the

a superstar le bron j fans in san antonio had been waiting for wendy as he's known to make his entrance. now he's arrived when it comes to that level to really describe it. you feel fresh. but uh, one of the best thing in my life, you know, probably the best night of my life i've been dreaming about this for so long. it's just, it's a dream come true. it's incredible. victors already made a name for himself off the court in the us. recently, happy honor of throwing out the 1st pitch during the new york yankees baseball game . the literally of that 1st that before he gets the hardwood, this new coach is focused on helping him settle in texas because of all the high delivered target on his back. so more than those and x is to begin with, will be most interested in setting framework in an environment where he's

comfortable, where he can be, victor, he's not labranz or tim or coby or anybody else. he's victor. and that's what we want him to be. the spurs have bank to on went by the almost success and the city that worships basketball. san antonio believes the height is real earlier we were joined from below you italy by former and be a scale jason for libby who has followed by youngest career for years. and we asked him, was it always clear that the frenchman would be 1st pick in the it'd be a draft as well? definitely. sure. you saw the young age agree that wasn't very challenging. i 1st saw why 1019 new york under 16 championship directory. my

mom and he was 15 years old, was fine. yeah you're but he was already had him, shoulders, phone competition despite younger and he was. busy a special player to waste all his skill set was very unique and his progression has been amazing. you know, i've been doing this for a lot of years. you know, it's a young player like at this level this page, this versus tell us he's like he's legit for taller and he has sealed skill set. so i'll be much, much smaller where it's really the term uniform, which is all i'm associated truly are probably the most, jason for the be speaking with his earlier is a big we give your p advance of american sports with major league baseball's. 3rd one in series. returning for the 1st time since before the pandemic, the 1st team across the atlanta with the last name across the atlantic,
