souls and temperatures approaching 45 degrees celsius. the heat wave is all ready the longest on record is prompted the closures of taurus science like you cross the list and sparks devastating wildfire. and in the women's world cup reigning champions usa kick off their campaign with a comfortable with over vietnam the greetings i'm michael local videos showing a series of explosions across russian occupied crimea. have been posted to social media sites. the moscow installed authorities on the finance. let's say in any nation depot, exploded and caught fire after being struck by ukrainian drones. the incident occurred at present with the sky in central crimea. they said there were no casualties in the blast in order to evacuation of the area. ukraine's military has

not commented on the explosions. earlier i spoke to random a ron, a military analyst at kings college london about the attacks and russian occupied crimea. i asked, or what ukraine's forces are trying to achieve. good day, michael. well, um for the ukrainian side um the courage bridge and the caribbean peninsula, ever since the annexation into 1014 has been an important and territory which ukraine 6 to recapture. however, it is very difficult and the cream knows that this is a military part of russia which connects russia essentially was occupied ukrainian territories. right now is therefore, given the fact that the country offensive is going slow and ukraine is looking for other opportunities. now having the capabilities having the clustering munition,

having long range missiles, such as storm shadow to strike russia where it hurts most needs, namely in crimea. presidents savanski has now declared the claim in bridge and any may facility. and therefore, a military target previously keeps been fairly reticent with such statements. why it is clear, bold announcement now as well. i think it is interesting that there was a change of rhetoric because the 1st time to destroys a bridge was in october of 2022, which has disrupt the traffic on the bridge. and i think we have to look at it from a more political perspective, because at that point you kind of didn't have that capability sort of had. and it also has to encourage that uh, western allies pop back. can you bring in the actions or whatever ukraine is doing

is not going to damage any potential weapon deliveries from west or in the allies. and now, especially after russia withdrawing from the green deal. i think that old foundries has been passed and they are for as president the landscape correctly stated, that this is a military objective because essentially, the real way is the supply room for the russian forces in the occupied territories . therefore, from the international perspective, you can consider it as a military objective, and we only have half a minute. but i do want to ask you, um, you know, traffic on that bridge not surprisingly, was interrupted today. what would be the likely impact on russian objectives if ukraine was to destroy their bridge or so it would create a logistical nightmare for russia because it will make it very difficult for russia to supplies and fruits on the occupied territories in ukraine. therefore,

a destruction would be of strategic importance for ukraine and also it, it has a symbolic value for put in himself. so you have the military strategic significance and also political and symbolic significance. however, it might take a lot of effort to actually destroys a bridge itself. understood that is um the reason i'm a ron military analyst at kings college london as ever thanks much. thank you for having me. hundreds of thousands of people among the many ukrainians are gathering on the streets of the german capital to show solidarity with eligibility to movements worldwide. this year, as christopher street day parade focuses on the hostilities against the drag community, martyrs are protesting against the laws. targeting gay and trans people, especially in african countries like you've gone to gone and it may be where
