western germany, after man wielding a knife killed at least 3 people in the city of zone and good. at least 8 other people suffered injuries, some of them a life threatening. please say they are looking for a single assailant. the rampage occurred at a crowded festival in the city center. rescue workers tend to victims of i'm not so tech install and getting as the festival organized. goals for com wants to please everyone, be quiet for a moment. we don't want to cause a panic, but a knife attack at the phone. hope square has injured many people badly. stay calm and keep your eyes open to the attack. it has not been caught. yeah, then like i said, this area is filled with thousands. celebrate and ceiling and 600 feet dease

anniversary. and the festival of diversity is no golden pulse with police and investigate us working at the scene. the mission to go to are trying to get a concrete description of the perpetrator. but it's difficult because witnesses are in shock and unable to speak before they are mall receiving care. and we need to piece together all the information to continue the search for the perpetrators baldwin, or let them take as a witness to say the attack targeted people indiscriminately in my thoughts now with the victims and their families. i can only pray that though severely injured can yes, no beat will recover. we have for that sense this does show for the

festival which began on friday and was suppose to run through sunday has been cancelled as the search for the treatment continues. for the latest i'm joined by dw reported to me, let people tell me what more do we know about the suspect behind this attack. well, as mentioned, the suspect is on the run. police are launched a man hunt. they've pulled in more special units to help with that. and the police of also off to members of the public. whoever was bad, who's got any information, whether anything they can describe or think of the photos of videos to hand them in rather than try to act on their own. if they do see anything, the police have one specifically that people should direct on evidence. they have straight to that unit, so these can be used in the investigation as they speak at the moment. they don't have a clear picture of what the motive of this attack

a was. and while this attack looked indiscriminate from, from a lot of the reports being to administer the rest spoken on this, germany's interior minister did points out that this attack appeared to be targeting human lives in the way in which he, he stabbed people. so, but it's difficult to see exactly what the motive is and that's why there's an investigation going on. and of course, when it comes to the motive. and of course i have to cancel because that's where, for example, misinformation can come in and people can start to speculate about voice. this is a box so that, that's the key thing. the police are trying to point out that people should direct whatever information they have, straight to a police units to meet. remind viewers what if anything like this germany has seen before? well, such attacks are not common in germany. they have happened, but not common. and that's why we think this kind of shock in may a, for example, let us all right, riley, in the town of mannheim and there was a stab being in which one police officer was killed and several other people were

in judge in 2021. there was a standing on a train as well, and in which, you know, there was an attack of that sort as well. the government has been promising to clamp down on life crime. but again, a lot of this stand was a back to mode service, difficult to know how to address some of these things. if we're not clear on what the motive of the attack is. and that's why the investigation is in full swing at the moment as well. so are these try to piece together, you know, festival, finding the attacker and also piecing together what was behind what motivates at this this mind to go on the wrong page like this dw reported to me all. the depot many thanks is always india is a prime minister and the random moody has offered to help. and the war in ukraine. moody is the 1st indian leader to visit key since ukraine became independent from

the soviet union. in 1991 ukraine's president in florida, zalinski called moody's trip friendly and symbolic a warm welcome in key for the indian prime minister. at the timing and significance of his trip, did not go unnoticed. and the name on the eve of independence day. this, this visit is really friend clinton pull into the doors football, video crane. yes. ok. and so you know, range or moody has maintained ties with both russia and ukraine, while the countries are war. he joined the load of me zalinski and visiting a memorial to hundreds of children, killed in russian attacks on new crane and attended several meetings and talks with the president. just 6 weeks ago, he was on a similar to, to russia, meeting with president vladimir putin and embracing him,

prompting some international criticism. moody says india is not in different on the war, but this on the side of peace. recently i went to restaurants, so a meeting there also i have said this in p a words that any problem is never sold on the battlefield. some of the way to a solution lies only through dialogue, through diplomacy. and we should move in that direction without wasting any time with india cannot afford to alienate russia and his sofa avoided explicitly condemning its invasion. it is also abstained on you in resolutions that criticize the criminal

and but moody is working to keep you crane and its allies on assigned to framing india as a piece make to and offering to act as a mediator to bring an end to the fighting dw, sonya final car is in key following the story. we asked for how moody's words were received by the ukrainian pressure. i don't think those woods actually have been really where have been very welcome in keys, especially if you remember given the control the sea regarding movies visit to moscow early last, last month when he met a russian president putting on the day when russian besides hits multiple ukrainian cities, one besides truck, a major children's hospice and children keys needing to devastating feelings. and that if you remember at the time prompted see what is criticism from presidents lensky who said it was disappointing to see the needle of the world's largest democracy hug, watching for the was, was bloody criminal on such

a day. so i think this visit is, is seen widely seen as more the trying to you to control some of that damage and fall out from that most go visit. i'm in line with that today. we saw some in ski and will be visiting an exhibition in, in keys that was dedicated to you printing children who have been killed since the beginning of the, or for us as a full scale invasion for. so this was certainly india trying to kind of balance its relations between ukraine and russia and trying to show that it's not really needing to what's most cool, anyone, sites in this conflict. a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. fires have erupt it on a greek owned oil tanker and the red sea a band and following a tax bike with the rabbits. 29 crew members were rescued earlier from this or union, the tanker was carrying 150000 tons of crude oil. when it was hit thursday, the who is these have been targeting vessels in the busy shipping route since the

war in gaza began last october. robert f kennedy junior, appeared at donald trump rally in arizona. he had earlier suspended his independent presidential bid and endorse trump. kennedy cited free speech, the war in ukraine and what he called the war on children is reasons for suspending his campaign. kennedy said, who decided to support trump after several recent meetings with him, healthy children. and to us politics with the democratic national convention over the battle for the white house is in full swing to whip up voter enthusiasm. both parties recruit entertainment figures to their events. and last week's convention featured an all star lineup highlights included the checks, formerly the dixie checks with a country and western rendition of the national anthem. okay, this record actors carry. washington 5 up the crowd with scandal co star,

20 golden known tv stories. everyone gloria took the podium as the median. mindy kayla and oprah winfrey gave pamela harris 1st stamp of approval and made an appeal to independent voters to catch their ballad. for, by the way, there were other recording stories as well, including john legend, who lit up the stage with a tribute to prince. and stevie wonder performed his classic higher ground. joining me now from los angeles, his entertainment reported k. g matthews, k g. great to see you. tell me something i got to send you there was a lot more star power at the dnc. then at the republican convention. why is that? oh, you are absolutely correct. i mean, i don't think it's a secret that most of hollywood tends to lean liberal and left probably at

least. so whenever you have something big like this and the presidential election is huge, you're going to see a lot more star power at the dnc than you do the r n c. that's just the way it's going to be me. it's great entertainment and definitely good for the vibes that the harris campaign appears to be going forward. but the age old question, does this translate into actual votes? yes, it does. you know, i was looking into that and in a study, a goes back to about 2008. show that when oprah winfrey initially endorsed brock obama during his 1st campaign, do you know that that brought in a $1000000.00 additional votes for brock obama? $1000000.00 now that can make or break you, especially when you have a presidential elections that are so tied, caught like the one we're having right now. so something like that doesn't matter when you have a celebrity, as big as an oprah winfrey or a taylor swift,

or beyond see when that last point was critical. when you have someone as big as oprah, in fact, the thing people were calling it the oprah effect, every election cycle, political pundits, news about the same question. to what extent do endorsements matter and by extension? i'm curious. why do celebrity endorsements matter? well they how every political candidate candidate that is get to things that they really want donations and voters, people look to celebrities and say, what are they doing? who do they like, who they are for the voting for, and they follow in that direction and that usually translates into money and donations. and every single political campaign needs money. so what's an easy way to get money? and i'll tell you in this day of social media where you have engagement and reach and you can reach people all around the world. it is crucial that you have the right people with the right reach and engagement, really endorsing

a certain celebrity. they just can't go without it, not in this day and age with social media, you really can't afford to not have a celebrity endorsement. our thanks go out as always to entertainment reporter k j matthews. in los angeles, many sex. thank you. a and a reminder of our top story this, our police in germany are searching for an attacker who killed at least 3 people at a crowded festival. 5 others were seriously injured in the night for attacking someone again in the west of the country. according to witnesses, a man stepped passers by, but authorities have not said anything about a motive and we will end it there. but do stick with us if you can know magazine checked in is coming up on michael, look who, thanks for watching. i'll be back with more news as always at the beginning of the

next. now the cost about is why does that? because now i'm liza the new host to join us for an exciting exploration and everything in between. this is a video and audio production, 5 d w. i hope that you will tune in picture tired of quinta, central alpine, the list houses nestled into the mountains may be late.
