Home page has more suspects web page contained a video message. To kind of manifesto the art of money fist tell it if you need full of confused thoughts and conspiracy theories almost healed me in all sorts profoundly racist mindset it should be seen on all flights and in berlin chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the violence thats this was racism is a poison hate is a poison and this points in exists in our society and is responsible for far too many crimes few and far breaking we dont distinguish citizens according to their background or religion yet. We stand with all our strength and determination against all those who try to divide germany half an inch last night and. Berlin is gathered at the Brandenburg Gate to show solidarity with the victims. Even more marched through the multicultural districts noite called to share their courage anger and grief. If you like to believe that it was one of those injured it is a good friend of mine what has happened has really affected me and them it sent them out there with. The ball was a place i had often been too young that we had to match not be calm but it gives me heartache. Weve experienced violence in our countries weve come to germany as refugees speaking youre going to experience it again here in germany and you know here in georgetown 2 of us and that really hurts just to time we thank you my family the problem is getting worse but gemini is a rich country things are good here and in the state of hessen too i really dont understand it. Many are demanding answers as to how right wing terror has been able to spread in recent years. As youve been able to see in the wake of the shooting massacre many in this country are asking why and how a community in mourning is trying to make sense of what has happened to our part so she isnt hannah and dons rights to have a Political Correspondent is here with me in the studio want to go to high now 1st art what more have you learned. Well they are able to identify some people have been identified some of the people who have been killed for example the remaining Foreign Ministry says that it was contacted by German Authorities and the to remain national was indeed killed in fact he was killed literally right behind me on the sidewalk he had parked his car after finishing work as a courier here remaining national and pollen is his name and he just walked out apparently the shooter had already just left the bar where he had killed 2 people and then he saw the man get out of his car and shot him dead on the sidewalk in front of the bar where the shooting took place which is the midnight sports bar behind me to my right and so some people are being identified apparently the German Authorities may be releasing all the names today so we have that and thats the geishas continued the police are here forensic investigators and the people of this city are also getting ready for a demonstration against racism at 2 oclock or at 2 oclock the 2 you now here in the studio what has been the prevailing response from authorities i think you can say that across the political spectrum with one exception the response has been one of shock one of solemnity and 1st of all people have been giving their support to the victims to the families that have been affected by this but i think the major response has also been that people have said that the german democracy has to holds its own has to stand together against these kinds of attacks that all parties that support them and the democratic order of a free free will free way of living in germany should stand together and defend this democracy against such attacks the one exception has been from the far right populist alternative for germany polity which is also represented in the German Parliament that party has said that this attack and its right wing background of being used to discredit its positions. Just cool political points against that and it is said it should not be regarded as a terrorist attack but as a crime committed by somebody whos mentally disturbed so with that exception their response has been lets stand together against this kind of violence so if he is downplaying basically the gravity of what has happened stick around both of you because as weve heard the killings have shaken hung out to its very core the city has a population of about 100000. 00 with a wide range of ethnic backgrounds the confederation of kurds in germany has confirmed that several of the dead had kurdish origins we met with some family members of those killed in wednesdays attack. Many members of the Kurdish Community have gathered at this Cultural Center on the outskirts of hama in shock and in solidarity with the family who lost their eldest son on wednesday night the grieving mother and father of the victim needed medical attention they havent slept since they learnt about the death of best son farah at one close relative tells us what happened in the she should. Put out this mike was a threat out as my cousin was i only know i got a call at 11 pm from his friends that he was taken from us for us to be honest. He was about to leave the bar just wanted to finish his meal he had just passed his exams a week ago we were going to work together. Weve been talking about that a lot. What upsets him in the many here is that they are still seen as outsiders despite living in how for generations as an opal his grandfather came here in the fiftys as a construction worker and helped build him now his father grew up here for hart was born here he graduated and went to a German School the only thing that differentiated him from the germans is how he looked if now we are just reduced to the way we look that has nothing to do with democracy but they will cut. Across town not to use project nasm to run echoes that view is a threat in part its got there is an obvious gena phobia has reached the center of our society and we germans with a migration background we feel this. Mostly i feel german or i was born here but i see from my appearance that others are real germans think i dont belong here thats on the market theres just so its all color. Along with preparing plaque calls for a vigil in hano naseem and his friends were shocked when they 1st heard of the attack happened and that she should ball in the city center its a place they regularly meet and hang out for the future is global in my i dont think i was there at the shisha bar 2 weeks ago. We were there with friends smoking shisha it all went to 3 makes me tremble it could have been me on my sisters and. My niece west naseem told us 3 people he knew lost a close relative in the shooting and that terrorist attacks always seemed like something that happened to other people but sadly now its a reality that has touched many here. Are its are to search it is still with us in the how now andy to be a Political Correspondent has brunch with me here in the studio that of course is the crux of everything isnt it you never think its going to happen to you until it does what are people and hand out saying what do they want the government their government to do to rein in far right extremism. Well theyd theyd like everyone to follow that euro president s and vice. Spoke yesterday about everyone being careful about what they say because it could be taken the wrong way and also it could fuel expiration for people who have stronger right wing views and they want to do something about it and also they want to see the people here and probably many people around the country want to see tighter laws against gentlefolk his and then and about far right views and things like that i mean when you when the german president time i came here yesterday he people some people yelled at him saying what he going to do how are you going to protect us and he knows that things have to be changed the entire german political spectrum knows that and the question is what are they going to do now. Tougher laws are being recommended by the people now arent hans how much so arts point has the anti immigrant sentiment in public debate contributed in iraq. Ethnic violence i think you can say very clearly that since the large migration into europe in 2015 the debates on immigration and the end to get immigrant sentiment certainly here in germany but i think probably old cells where in europe has increased has grown that has contributed to the rise of parties such as the right wing populist a. F. D. Here in germany and that party has to some extent also influenced public debate its basis its policies its political success one has to say on and to immigrant sentiments on positions that talk about cleaning up germany getting back the old germany that we used to have at some stage and so on and that is a party that also has contacts into the very far right spectrum there are members in this party that are clearly nazis that would want the german state to be changed into some sort of all the rotarian fascists like so. So all of that has contributed to people who have these feelings getting the idea that they are able to express these feelings more openly which happens also in the internet obviously and also seem to have a feeling that if they commit acts such as this act and commit such atrocities that in fact they have some support in society for that and to do everything like a correspondent time sponsor me here thank you for analysis and in hi now our potus sochi you have reporting thank you for your continued coverage well just moments ago german interior minister harston say hoffer spoke about wednesdays attack in a press conference he said that the Security Threat from the far right is currently very high taught in use to be the deed and right now its unequivocally a terror attack with a racist motivation of people after the mad 5 to look at the attack against the synagogue and how the this is the dried wing terrorist attack in germany in just a few months really can not. Cite in this since the end as you know the rampage in munich a trail of blood has been left by right wing extremism in our country that is up until this day. Here a minister speaking there just moments ago and shes a little editor was at that a press conference michela we just heard mr they offered listing some of the most high profile far right attacks perpetrated here in germany in recent times what measures has the interior minister and now nst to deal with the threat posed by the far right. He said that the key now was to actually implement the measures that are in place he says there will be more Police Presence but hes not asking for more police jobs jobs speed created and actually the press conference of all of those who shouldve been able to prevent what happened in her now and are now investigating including the prosecutor general is going on behind me and also was asked directly whether he blames the far right if the party and its debate here in germany for these attacks and he said that he couldnt direct as he would want to but he did quote alexander golland leading figure of the far right a f t saying comments that he made that germanys nazi past was only and i quote a birds dropping in history that that was pretty much the breeding ground for the thinking that could confuse heads and that then could lead to the kind of Violent Attacks that we saw so the short answer is yes so were seeing a real new chapter also in the political debate here in germany pointing quite clearly towards the far right if t. And the right wing extremist rhetoric that has been using. Or porting you thank you so much. And you can find lots more reporting analysis of the terror attack in hanna by heading to our website w dot com you can also find us on twitter our handle is d w news and you can find our channel on you tube as well but for now id like to move on to some other news of the day china has reported an uptick in corona virus cases with more than 400 new infections in chinese prisons alone all globally the viral outbreak has infected some 76000 people and killed over 2000 well south koreas reported cases nearly doubled on friday to more than 200 most of the new cases are members of a religious sect the outbreak makes south korea the worst affected country outside china on meanwhile there have been violent clashes in ukraine over fears that evacuees arising in the country from china were infected with the coronavirus.

Polls have opened in Irans Parliamentary elections in which many moderate candidates have been barred from standing Irans Guardian Council rejected almost half of the candidates the countrys Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei was the 1st to cast his ballot because for a big turnout describing the vote as a religious duty for all iranians and many are expected to boycott the poll in protest against the countrys leaders election comes amid continuing Economic Hardship under crippling u. S. Sanctions and our reporter in tehran spoke to some iranians hugh went out to cast their ballots and i asked them about their hopes for these elections. We hope legislation that will benefit the people an awful lot of them. You know cost and does not use employment. But after that it is devoted devil and the economy mostly. When i back sound if the saw and every other expectation that one has that going on in is it has a sense it has genuine and they get this done because that in the news that is in. And i just saw this one of the representatives that we send to the next parliament should demand answers for the real problems people are facing especially economic woes see on here that is they should serve the interests of the average citizen rather than those of the Political Parties. They should truly represent their people. And we can take you now to a polling station in the iranian capital tehran where good deal you reporter to reset proper it is there for you to reset polls opened a few hours ago what has been the voter turnout. Well the atmosphere is quite different this time compared to previous elections where this polling station in northern tehran was a very busy place and crowded with people eager to cast their vote and today we see something very different its a lot more quiet its known many journalists here and only a few vote us ballot boxes filled very slowly that is because with more than half of the candidates disqualified ahead of the elections many iranians feel not voting is the only way to show that theyre not happy with the situation and that is what many told me theyre doing today that just staying at home so were expecting at very low churn out at least here in the capital tehran all right so yes i want to continue our conversation in just a 2nd 1st were going to look at how irans political system works. The Islamic Republic of iran has a complex structure that incorporates both religious and democratic elements the most powerful position is the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali hum in a as religious leader and head of state for life the ayatollah controls the military the courts and the media and makes all fundamental policy decisions in iran he also appoints members to the socalled Expediency Council and the Guardian Council not under his direct purview are the 3 pillars of government that ordinary iranians get to vote on directly the president currently has on rouhani who effectively runs the executive branch the council of experts who select a new Supreme Leader in the case of his death and the Iranian Parliament the parliament has a total number of 290 seats 5 seats are reserved for representatives of minorities jews zoroastrians as well as syrian and armenian christians the rest are voted on by the entire population in Irans Parliament politicians of various convictions often engage in spirited arguments about the future of the country and depending on its. Position offering either support or resistance to the sitting president iran doesnt have typical Political Parties but rather diverse factions and groups that can generally be identified as conservative or moderate however the allocation of seats in parliament cannot be considered truly free as potential candidates have to be approved before they can run the Guardian Council which is named by the Supreme Leader and the head of the judiciary decides which candidates are qualified those who have fundamentally different convictions are blocked from running. And that theresa back 1st there in tehran at a polling station this is the very reason why on thursday the u. S. Sanctions 5 iranian officials on grounds of ela tour manipulation what effect will this have on todays vote if any. Well thats a largely symbolic move that is not going to have any direct consequences here in the Islamic Republic not on todays vote and not on the people affected by those sanctions thats members of the Guardian Council of countries an actual watchdog but the fact that so many kind of thats what disqualified ahead of the election also drew a lot of criticism inside iran and be mainly because it was reformists banned from the election and now many principle a stone have any real competition in some areas of iran so even president Hassan Rouhani himself complained and said iranians should have a real choice at the ballot box. And put this could we still see a surprise result in these elections despite its tightly controlled set up. Thats not very likely because many iranians dont see a reason why they should vote for the socalled reformers this time around the last time they did so because they hoped president Hassan Rouhani and a Reformist Parliament could improve their situation but they failed to do so mainly of course because the nuclear deal collapsed but also because one honey in the parliament failed to address corruption which is also a big issue so reformist voters are not coming to the polls today and the people who are voting today under more hardline approach they want more resistance against the west and thats why its so likely that principle is still going to much victorious from this election today there is a trumper at reporting for you from a polling station in tehran where people are turning up for votes a d.
