an explosion at dawn. this was the result. russian officials claim a lorry had been blown up here and that the fire then spread to a fuel train. whatever the cause, you could see the damage. this is the bridge that links russia to annexed crimea, and parts of the road had collapsed into the sea. later, investigators announced that three people had been killed. they have opened a criminal case. the 12 mile long road and rail bridge is not only strategically important to the kremlin as a supply route, it is also a symbol of the russian annexation of crimea. vladimir putin opened it in 2018, getting behind the wheel to show that, as far as he was concerned, russia and crimea were joined for ever. very different scenes today. pro kremlin commentators have blamed ukraine for the explosion, but there has been no claim of responsibility from kyiv. it is noticeable how the situation has changed here, and the messaging. a few months ago, russians were being told by their leaders and
seemingly contradict walkers denial. you should know, msnbc s hasn t independently verify those documents. just for a second, look, if these allegations are true, walker s apoxsee is quite obvious. there s one rule for him, another for everyone else. but it is more than that. republicans response to this walker news illustrates a much deeper cancer that is been factoring the party. that is their religious hypocrisy. i want to pause here for a moment. look, we are not trying to demonize some of these actions as the right routinely test everyone else. be proportion isn t a problem unless you are forcing a woman to get an abortion. at the same time, the right routinely demonizes personal social issues in this country. you can condemn abortion in the lgbtq community, and then be surprised when the news media focuses on gop candidates who talked the talk, but don t walk the black. that brings me back to herschel walker. despite all of the scandals that he has hissed, his christian

about the significance of the bridge being hit. it depends how quickly they repair the bridge. it is a huge symbolic setback because this bridge was mr putin s personal commitment to crimea. it opened in 2018, cost $3 billion, massively overpriced. one of his friends was in charge of the construction and he identified with this because this was a way of uniting the mainland of russia with what he took to be the mainland of crimea which was now going to be russian forever so the bridge is symbolically hugely important. in terms of logistics, the fact is, one carriageway seems to have survived this blast although it may only take light traffic and we don t know how bad the damage is to the railway grid above it. my guess is that although the russians will have a big motive to say that the bridge is reopen soon and all is fine, it will not reopen to military traffic which is very heavy so we will see how long it is before they can start to use the road and particularly the rail
of a mass killing at a nursery. hello and welcome, if you re watching in the uk or around the world. president putin has suffered an embarrassing setback in the war with ukraine, after a huge explosion on the only bridge linking russia with the crimean peninsula. the bridge partially collapsed but has now reopened to light traffic. russia annexed crimea in 2014, and after occupying these regions of ukraine in red it s managed to establish a corridor up through southern and eastern ukraine. the kerch bridge, connecting russia to the crimean peninsula in the black sea, was an important supply route for sending russian troops and artillery into ukraine. in the last few hours president putin has ordered his fsb secret service to tighten security on the peninsula. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports. it is the bridge the kremlin built, and it was under attack. an explosion at dawn. this was the result. russian officials claim a lorry had been blown up here and that the
