going to a great deal when you bring him president, whether the news, the landscape of the dock was absolute, evil might people he called savages and debtors. meanwhile, emergency what goes continue to look for survivors. and what is the leaders in the threes of deadly attack from the freesia and miss tyler came a day after a huge explosion, badly damaged to bridge, connecting russia to the occupied peninsula of crimea. officials in moscow, se limited traffic has now restarted on the bridge, which partly collapsed. russian president vladimir putin blend ukraine for the explosion and called it an act of terrorism. ukraine had repeatedly threatened to strike the bridge, but did not take responsibility for the blast. at earlier i asked security expert, don't tell us agra most so if the bombing of the residential building, since our region could have been a retaliation for the attack on the crimean bridge, i think so, i think this really very much fits weight that put in some sort of usually modus operandi after there is some kind of a mainly tree as sort of defeat or retreat or he faces some kind of very difficult situation on the ground. and he just reacts by indiscriminate bombing of c, v n of c v n a infrastructure and civilian targets. that has been very much, he's his way of responding. so i think this is what we expected as an immediate response. i'm not surprised at all. it's very, very sad, i think a very sad reality unfortunately. and the kremlin however, of course, always claims that it's targeting military infrastructure or supply lines. but we keep getting these attacks on civilians. are you or can they not aim properly? mean what, what, what is it possible explanation here? i think it is really a sort of a i desire by putting to sort of punish ukrainians. ah, because he doesn't have the possibility to or ab, you know, operate effectively on the ground militarily. so he uses the instruments that he has, which is to try to fry down on scare and punish that population in the hope that maybe they might turn against that leadership on. they might sort of in a way of surrender in some fashion, upward pressure on their government to change its policy. but i don't think there is a clear, you know, strategic operation along the logic in this. i think it is purely sort of i response of sort of anger and punishment and i'm building asked on base many, many it's sort of part of his way. the way he operates is done this in ukraine. he's danita injection. yeah. you know, he tends to, to sort of respond with brutal forcing the hope that that would eventually sort of break them or sort of the willingness to find about as we've seen in ukraine. i mean, it doesn't really work. yeah, i need really indicate how he's sort of military capabilities are, because he's not in a position really to respond yet i affectively on the ground military. just briefly, if i'm a professor about that bridge attack, will that significantly her russian supply lines in the self of the country and across are the occupied parts of ukraine? yes, because i think that this was one of the fastest and most effective, you know, lines of communication as we know russia transpose most of its military equipment via re roads. so this was a way, very foster sort of provide supplies to try me. and then from crimea, which has become a major military hobby. now to send addition, i mean, it supplies to both and the credit on the front, but also to separate easier region and also to maybe talk on self rather to the. so i think this is going to affect, you know, initially the sort of that the ability of russia to supply united sell more effectively. i'm rapidly that in that area was dom until a sucker, most of king's college in london. let's take a look now at some of the other stores making headlines around the world. hurricane julia is battery in the caribbean coast of nicaragua. forecasters are warning that heavy rains may cause flash floods and mud. slides. storm is forecast to emerge over the pacific and then hit el salvador and guatemala. the incumbent, alexander, vendor belin, is on course to be re elected as austrian president projection show, he received 55 percent of the vote to secure another 6 year term. and to avoid a run off for exit polls show the center left. social democrats have won a clear majority in regional elections in the germans state of lower sacks. the party of german chester ola sholtes took 33 percent of the vote. main rivals, the christian democrats trailed with 27 percent election is being seen as a test of confidence in sholtes is government, which is battling an energy crisis and a looming recession. earlier i spoke to political correspond hands branch and i asked him if these results come as a surprise, it's not surprising that so democrats managed to stay ahead, managed to retain being the strongest party in this region. there was a surprise to, in the extent to which the conservatives last votes lost support and this vote. and that's also fed into the other surprise of the election. and that is how well the right wing a populace, a f t. the alternative for germany. how well they did. they got just about 12 percent of the vote at that us are clearly a protest vote. they're gonna vote for both from the social democrats and from the conservatives. and from the market liberal free democrats, so that the big winners really of this evening are the right way populace. and that is a warning to germany as a whole. there clearly is quite a potential for protest and for dissatisfaction in the population. ok, well you just told us about one of the sort of national lessons that can be drawn from this regional pool. are there any other i messages for the rest of germany or any other instances of what the significance is nationwide for these results? as i think it was clear that this regional election was fought on the basis of national policies on the problems with the inflation with energy prices, all the parties involved with pay little attention to regional issues. so the vote was clearly a vote also on the policies of chancellor schultz and his social democrats and of the coalition. that he is the governing with the, involving the green party and the market liberal, free democrats. and for that coalition of this verge, especially for the social democrats and the greens, that will be a confirmation of their policies. they will see this as support for what they have been doing. why that coalition partner, the 3 democrats, the market, liberal free democrats have been doing very badly in this region and might end up not being in parliament in this region. as one of the shots and the greens are really the winners of the regional election. and will feel confirmed and their policies in germany as a whole. ok, i guess sometimes not all politics is local as the saying goes, political correspondent. hence brandt. thanks so much for that. ah. baxter staffing has grabbed his 2nd straight formula. one title after winning the japanese grand prix. it was a dramatic race in poor weather conditions and included an incident that invoked memories of the suzuki circuit tragedy in 2014 chaos and confusion at the japanese grand prix were weather conditions caused major visibility problems. he has a look at just how dreadful it was. spanish driver color signs losing control over secret. the red flag was eventually shown, the race was stopped and resumed nearly 2 hours later. but serious questions were raised about the safety of it. all attractor crane on the track. before all the drivers had returned to their pits, caused disbelief. french drive, pierre ghastly, was one of those drivers. here you see just how close he got to one. the instagram post was made by none other than jewell bianca's father who wrote no respect for the life of the driver. no respect for jewels memory. incredible. beyond he of course lost his son f. one driver, jewelled beyond. key june hid, attract on the same japanese track and in similar weather conditions. back in 2014 maclaren, driver, land or norris also expressed his anger at formula one. how has this happened?
