the slicing social moons seeking your self determined life. let's go from drudgery and abuse stuff over on d w. the, this is the, the, the news. why from berlin? an apparent new blow to russia's war effort. video show a series of new bless incognito is a big deal, legally an exponential, a key to ukraine's counter offensive. we'll ask and military analysts also is coming up. greece says alston temperature is approaching $45.00 degrees celsius.

the heat wave is already the longest on record. it's prompted the closures of taurus science like the acropolis and spark, devastating wildfire. and in the women's world cup reigning champions, usa kick off their campaign with a comfortable with over vietnam the and a warm welcome to viewers around the world. i'm michael local. videos are showing a series of explosions across russian occupied crimea. had been posted to social media sites, the moscow installed authorities on the peninsula say in the ammunition day depot exploded and called fire after being struck by ukrainian drugs. the incident occurred in cross another discard in central crimea. they said there were no casualties in the glass and ordered into that creation of the area. ukraine's

military has not commented on the explosions. is really or i spoke to marina moran, a military analyst at kings college, london about the attacks and russian occupied crimea. i asked her, what you creams, 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 cluster munitions, having long range missiles,

such as storm shadow to strike russia where it hurts mostly, namely in crimea. presidents savanski has now declared the crimea and bridge an enemy 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 didn't have that capabilities that have had and it also has to encourage that uh, western allies pop back. can you creating an action that 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 the old a foundries has been passed and as they are for, as president polanski correctly stated, it is, it is a military objective because essentially, the royal 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? 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 it 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 reading of 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 have gathered on the streets of the drum and capital to show solidarity with l. g. b t. 2 movements worldwide. this year is christopher street day parade focused on the hostilities against the drag community. martyrs are protesting against the laws targeting day and trans people, especially an african countries like you've gone to gone to. and then maybe we're home with sexual activity. is a crime under the model b, pride like ukraine,

condition, place or some beach is possible. most severe heat wave and the last will have century, what actions is the government taking and is there concern that these kinds of seasonal temperatures might become the new normal or the greek are these are taking the cautionary measures for the moments to, to face this uh, the weight so they're closing off main roads and taking emergency. 9 traffic measures and bounds as part of the firefighting and prevention operations. the government also advise people to work from home when where this possible and not to go out on the severally, also the tourism side, as you mentioned already disclose. it will stay close to june. the hardest, the hours of the day, and we will see you do not know at this moment how long this will be this occasion . and if this will be, then you normal also baseball

a 4th on the parts and ask them say they shut down the clothes and we don't know for how long they will be closed. and this is very important because, um, what about animals? what about the homeless people as much as people having to jump in there? what's the latest on the wild flyers that have been raging throughout the country? well, the situation in africa region nearby the cap of lessons is small, that's under control. but right now, the ongoing fire on the island of grow extremely difficult as the television and half of the, the nation's off for several months. the occasion of the monastery was also cheap and which the firefighters and the commanders on the firebreak, as we made until 3 of the afternoon, reached time in their attempts to convince them to leave the monastery. and in addition to the, to the forces with 32 firefighters from block. yeah. and 30 fire trucks with their

crews, from romania, as well as 25 firefighters, some for some leaky. they are operating out on this fall for the firefighters. i love watching. uh they and like, yes. so fi eclipse talkie in athens, there are many, many things started stickle to cambodia holds election sunday with few doubts over the outcome. prime minister, whom stands cambodian people's party is certain to cruise to victory after 4 decades in power has been assured by pushing the opposition out of the political process. but there's one change on the horizon with the 70 year old leader saying he's ready to hand the reins over to his son. a campaign in full swing with no opposition. insight. the cambodian people's party or c p. p is virtually assured of victory and this weekend's elections,

prime minister who owns and has led the country for almost 4 decades, making one of the world's longest serving leadership. he came to power following a civil war in the 1980s on san later refused to accept the result of an election that saw him lose. he eventually took power in a bloody coupe. since then, he's won every election. his campaign says he represents the ability samuel white, along with the political mandate for the c p, p, is to protect and maintain peace from political stability and development deal. so pay all development up until now has happened through $6.00 elections of over 30 years under the leadership of the c p p. i couldn't stop eyes on what the the main opposition candle light party has been banned from participating in the election. it's spokesperson says that makes the ballot of 1st high and low. you add the

popped up as you can see. and this boring election campaign, ordinary people can see through inter northly, which is so much different from the last election that has a strong opposition participation across its board like a soup and the cooking partner with no ingredient b. a little more of that means and that's not return local level. i'm with total to avoid election boycotts. parliament passed the law, requiring citizens to vote or lose their right to vote in any future elections. that guarantees high participation. but there's little doubt of the outcome. the at the women's football world comp united states have launched their bid for a 3rd consecutive trophy with a comfortable 3 meal when against the tournament new comers, vietnam in oakland. the wind puts them on top of good bee and cements to their claim. as one of the favorites, the united states show their intent ride from the stars and the genius passed from
