He initially cooperated with police and provided information including that he travelled by train from Basel Switzerland to frankfurt a few days ago wasnt a function so it was some more details emerging lets bring in mass a 1000000 who is joining us here in the studio for more on this one of the most troubling aspects is of course figuring out the motive or you know the fact that there is a lack there of currently what more do we know well as weve just heard the Public Prosecutor spokeswoman has just been speaking this morning and shes been saying they still dont know why the men did this that this what we know so far is that he and this is what we know by the investigation of the Police Authorities and also witness reports the man pushed the woman and the 8 year old boy on the train tracks where a train was coming into frankfurt train station the boy died when the train came in the mother was able to save herself and the suspect has now been detained by Police Authorities hes not been giving any indication on why he has done this what we know so far is that he has been tested negative for alcohol theres also no indication the man has been taking drugs but theres also no indication if there is any case of psychological issues with this suspect and yes so were now waiting for more details of this investigation is absolutely horrific and it is getting a lot of attention here in germany just fill us in as to why well because of course this is a very emotional. Incident this is something that has brought the public the attention of the public here in germany this was a scene where you know germans are kind of going on holiday this is the big train station there was a relaxed easy mood and then out of a sudden this happens so this has been quite a shock for the german public a very emotional case with a little.

A father of 3 but i am his foreign background has scores like a very extensive phobics of bait on social media in germany and this is to be considered in the background that since the refugee crisis in 2015 weve seen a rise of xenophobia here in germany and this case is so prominent in fact that germanys interior minister has a has broken off a holiday in order to deal with this what are we to make of that well Public Security is a very of the very front and center of his responsibilities as the interior minister here in germany and with that case with the shock of their case also came the question how secure public train stations are in germany and weve seen a similar case in fact a couple weeks ago in north rhinewestphalia the doesnt seem to be enter elation between these 2 cases as far as the Prosecutors Office says this of course the question how easy kind of beach for some violent acts like these to happen in germany and this is something the public takes a lot of interest in in germany at the moment and is asking for a response from the German GovernmentPolitical Correspondent max 1000000 akashic thank you. Lets get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world brazilian Authorities Say that at least 57 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials said that brutal fighting erupted between rival criminal groups in the uk to me at a prison in a state the death toll may still rise. A military plane has crashed into a residential area and pakistan not far from the capital islamabad at least 17 people were killed most of them civilians on the ground crashed just royd several houses the cost is not yet known. Malaysia has formally installed the new king 60 year old sultan a villa is the countrys 16th monarch his installation comes 6 months after the surprise abdicate of his predecessor who stepped down after only 2 years malaysias kings are elected for 5 year terms. And also the u. S. Has formally asked germany france and britain to help provide security for shipping in the strait of hormuz the strait is a strategic route for much of the worlds oil controlled by iran relations between tehran and the west have deteriorated the u. S. Last year and left the International Agreement holding Irans Nuclear ambitions in check a series of tit for tat taker seizures has since ramped up tension now germany says that multinational this approach now to protecting the shipping is essential evillest this is kind of cargo there is no question that the e. U. Operation must also be in step with what the americans are doing with their my economy the basic idea that the British Government that is the reason maize government some are discussed with the german and french governments was that we were planning an e. U. Mission to focus on recognizance in the region so that we knew who was violating maritime law who was launching attacks on ships so that we could then take action to fit in with the. American mission once was with the basic idea was to set up a European Mission but you can do the right thing to make star the opium assumes of the of war now we are joined here by our chief Political Editor of mechanical failure in the studio so what are we to make of the United States is requesting that germany especially take part in providing security to the strait of hormuz yes that this is something which details rather a lot because we have been hot there a weighty voice when it comes to Foreign Policy within and a magical c. D. U. Party talk about a potential Reconnaissance Mission potentially investigating and serving whats happening that well the United States wants to bring more European Countries i say now off to clearly britain has voiced its interests on board to actually secure this this sounds a lot more robust than looking at whats going on and observing what iran is doing what is it really about i mean is this is this really about iran or is this about other transatlantic matters well from what were seeing right now this is really a change in the International Power distribution in real time britain is in the midst of a potential brecks that by the end of october 1st weve seen britain asked the europeans to stand by its sides france and germany have voiced quite clearly that they would be interested in doing this stressing that they want to be account to balance to the u. S. Policy of maximum pressure now with britain now having changed course after changing Prime Minister and foreign minister there and looking much more close to the u. S. Approach with seeing britain not just torn between the 2 sides were seeing those European Partners put into a diplomatically very difficult position when it gets to that key issue that sundanese all of this which is the u. S. Basically having counseled its power. The patience of whats become known as the raw nuclear deal and iran now being on course of leaving that very deal which leaves the whole question of Irans Nuclear program open it once again and the question of providing security in the strait of hormuz where did germans seem to stand on that well if i think its safe to say that theres a growing recognition that germany cant just simply stand on the sidelines when it comes to key Strategic Issues like safe passage of International Trade to germany largely relies on exports itself one 3rd of oil that is transported on the seas goes through that very Crucial Point at the same time there is simply no appetite in germany to be part of a robust military mission and at the end of any debate there will have to be a mandate from the blondest hawks germanys parliament for that you need majorities in the parliament from what were seeing now this u. S. Request britain is signaling that its not that terribly keen on standing on the european side of what is the conflict of the values with the u. S. This is come will complicated and german involvement less likely so many different factors at play here our chief Political Editor im a fan of youre helping us make sense of it thank you. Its youre watching news still to come on the program the latest craze in golf well tell you about the game that sends competitors dashing down fairways and sprinting across the greens as the a race against the top of. The 1st police in hong kong are charging 44 protesters with rioting hundreds of demonstrators disrupt a train texas earlier today by the locking the doors of commuter trains its part of their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in their demands for more autonomy from Mainland China. A. Rush hour and one of the worlds most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. Activists have blocked the train doors. Calling for democratic reforms an independence from beijings rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kongs economy. Caught up a meeting at time this 8 hour oh my thing my work and eating to wake. Up Freedom Safety and human rights and to get away and that cause what i saw ok with that philosophy is so great because i think the governments response to the mom of the city is. Otherwise to be with all kind of these are. The protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to Mainland China for trial. The bill was shelved but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. Theyre also calling for hong kong leader kerry lead to step down and for greater autonomy. Lawmakers in europe and the u. S. Have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used Excessive Force the Chinese Government said. This was hypocritical. I sat down a comedian. What if you asked the us police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the United States in washington d. C. Or in new york city how would they respond i think everyone can imagine the scenes empathically. Beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order in hong kong. That some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch with the impression of hong kong is simply a fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people whose real listen to me and some of the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. And our correspondent phoebe kong is in hong kong she told us why antigovernment protesters have targeted commuters for this latest on straight. This is a kind of civil disobedience action. And theyre trying to take more rather a rather more. Approach. To what we saw over the past week and. Making it more like. Less controversial way to. Express their views actually this is not the 1st time to the Natural Light and they always do they usually just do it during the peak hour and int
