Hello im christine one while come to the program. Germany is in shock after antisemitic attack on a synagogue on the holiest day of the jewish can and the day off atonement a heavily armed gunman tried to force his way into the building in the east and german city off on wednesday but was prevented from entering he then shot and killed a bystander in the street before killing another person as a nearby. The emotion and tension were possible as german president hung about us time iow joined a Jewish Community and a day after the deadly attack at the doors of its synagogue. You can see them on kongs history is a reminder of the present is a challenge and we must take sides like. These images were filmed yesterday by a resident they showed a standoff between police and a man dressed in combat type gear shortly after a gunman killed 2 people need to sit is synagogue. Up 1st there was a huge bang and then someone tried to get into the Jewish Cemetery and fired several times with a shotgun at the cemetery at the door. And then the woman came along the one who was shot she just came along from the tram stop quite by chance to synagogue was for when it was attacked young people the holiest day of the jewish calendar had brought together between 70. 80 worshippers isurava axemen and americans freshly arrived in germany was one of them. I think the energy was was fairly calm given the situation today i feel more kind of. Just because people were killed but yesterday it was more about just kind of being really think for a kind of america that you couldnt get through the door and that like a much bigger tragedy was. Didnt happen. The synagogue didnt open but the attacker then turned his gun towards passers by killing another man at a restaurant the suspect was captured by Police Outside hes a 27 year old german citizen in a video the alleged killer of ranted against foreign news women and jews be jews were held at synagogues across germany chancellor Angela Merkel showed his support for the Jewish Community in berlin there was an attack on jews in germany. Though its not my call and fatter figment is to do Everything Possible to ensure that you can live in safety at this stage shows us that this is not so simple and that we must do even more. In the wake of the attack many questions remain not least what could have been done to prevent it from happening. We have all angles of the story covered for you. Is Political Correspondent thomas spyro is with me in the studio carlo come to you 1st because there is a press Conference Starting in a couple of minutes and what can we expect. Right there was a press conference were expecting at the start any moment now its a packed house here at Police Headquarters in waiting a constellation of leaders from the German Government as well as many from jewish organizations were expecting the president of the Central Council for jews in germany as well as the leader of the Jewish World Congress and the ombudsman for antisemitism in germany felix kline they will all be addressing the media and taking questions as well we assume theyll be addressing not only the investigation and the details of yesterdays attacks but also speaking more broadly about safety issues and antisemitism here in germany were expecting that conference to start any moment now although we do believe that interior minister horse they offer is a bit delayed in the arriving you spent a long time with the community at the synagogue during his meeting so we are waiting on him but otherwise this press conference should be starting any moment i tell us all come to you right now i mean this comes after another press conference and that was held by the chief federal prosecutor page a friend you were listening to here together listening in on that just give us some of the Key Takeaways what have been the off to he spoke so we learned most details about what they know about the suspect and they were by the way those a shocking details the fact that he was heavily that hot for can no grounds of explosives in his that he wanted to create a massacre that he wanted to to imitate all the previous shooters but at the same time be an example for the future the fact that he wanted to have a Global Effect as the federal prosecutor said thats why they believe that he filmed his. Will his acts so those a sudden the shocking details that came from the federal Prosecutors Office at the same time he mentioned some of the questions that still remain anon so for example how he radicalized how he acquired his explosives how he had. Why the guns and whether theres a network behind him or who actually knew about his plans a federal prosecutor indicated that he had published or put the money festo online before the event so that probably will also generate some questions as to why the authorities were not able to find out in advance so again what we know and what questions still need to be answered those were the 2 key elements of the press conference with the federal prosecutor just a few minutes ago in cars all right and of course. That Investigation Continues to into this crisis that you are talking about that struck a little bit about the anti semitic motive here because thats really one of the key things that youve weve talked about this extensively what is that the state of anti semitism in this country as we speak its important to stress that authorities are now describing this as an anti semitic attack also as a terror. Act of terror thats also a description of comes from German Authorities and that is particularly important when we specifically talk about the antisemitic aspect of this it comes after German Authorities have been warning that theres a rise of antisemitic incidents in the country there was recently also a report by the interior minister on this particular case and as such German Authorities have been reacting to try and understand why this happens and is trying to prevent further cases from happening and in particular they have appointed since may 2018 germanys 1st anti Semitism Commission authentic spline understand is also in so thats probably the biggest measure the German Authorities have taken when it comes to dealing with the issue of antisemitism in the country but weve heard in this particular case from everyone from the german president found out that time now the head of state the german chancellor 2 ministers a high ranking politicians all have expressed their shock after what happened in holland they have all said that at the same it has and has absolutely no space in germany and the german. Government the german state the german population all have a responsibility in trying to protect jewish life in the country all recall come back to you at the moment tell us what more do we need know about the victims the 2 people who lost their lives in this attack. Well it certainly seems at this point that those 2 victims were simply innocent bystanders there was one woman who was shot and killed out side of the synagogue she seems have just been a passer by was about 30 meters away and we dont think that either of these victims were in preplanned or premeditated by the attack or the other victim of course was inside of a kebab shop we simply dont know if there was a motive behind those 2 shootings but what many are speculating is that once the attacker was unable to gain access to the synagogue he simply went looking for other victims someone perhaps to add to his tally so to speak i mean a lot of this attack we think is based in online streaming and video game culture so it does seem like the woman and the man the 2 victims were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time we do know there are other 2 other shooting victims who survived they were taken to the hospital yesterday and they were successfully treated they are now in stable condition all right stand by just remind our viewers that we all waiting for a press conference where expecting to hear from the german interior minister horst. When im with you call i just want to talk about the fact that youve been talking to people in. How are they coping off to this. Well the community certainly in shock i mean i would be probably the best way to describe it weve seen many members of just the General Community in hala as well as Jewish Community members coming to this synagogue paying their respects there was a vigil along with german political leaders the president and also the interior minister were there weve seen people coming to simply pay their respects but members of the Jewish Community who we spoke with also say its really a shameful thing in germany and they say that they are afraid right now we spoke with one mother who actually grew up in that exact synagogue she had brought her children to the scene and she was saying that certainly the situation and the safety situation has gotten worse and she feels like she does worry when she sends her children to school for example if they are wearing any sort of clothing that identifies them as jewish so members here expressing sadness members of the Jewish Community but also they are concerned in the think there are real concerns within germany as well as across europe about safety right now all right ok that is a story that we will continue to monitor for you we have calling us money and holloway the german interior minister will be giving a press briefing shortly and thomas fire will stay with me in studio but not its move on to a nother story apple has removed an app that protest as in hong kong have used to track Police Movement it comes off to criticism by the Chinese Communist partys official newspaper the peoples state any of this week they take giant save the crowdsourcing app which is called h.
