i've been fooling. welcome. a man hunters under way in western germany after a man wielding a knife killed at least 3 people in the city of building and at least 8 other people suffered injuries. some of them like frightening police, say they're looking for a single assailant. the stabbings occurred at a crowded festival in the city center. police, cold, north streets, and zoning and search for the killer continues side of state police. both are both special units have launched a city wide man hunt now said to be pushing into the surrounding region. friday nights deadly north attack of the street festival was lift, local, stunned soley ins may giving voice to his shock during a visit to the crime scene. and was waiting for land. so we installing a full of horror and full of sadness. this is what happened to now city.

yesterday's and it hasn't allowed any of us to sleep cold. last investment thousands. we're enjoying an evening. it's orleans photo square friday night. when witnesses say, a man began stepping passes by with a noise, apparently at random. the attack of then disappeared into the issue in panic and confusion. police do not know the silence identity or motive, but believe he acted alone, save us festival goes to submit videos and photo is to help with the investigation of the machine i'm trying to get to a concrete description of it is difficult because witnesses and shock cannot able to speak or they are over saving can, but we need to piece together all the information to continue to search. and the festival was supposed to celebrate zoning and $650.00 at the end of the 3, the weekends, remaining events anal cancelled as a city mullins. and with this emergency still far from over the w report at louis

sanders's in solving. and i asked him what the atmosphere is like the this is an atmosphere of immense sadness. i've spoken to multiple residents from zillow lincoln who just said we could have never imagined something like this. on a day we were supposed to celebrate the $650.00 of anniversary of our founding and look, so lincoln is a diverse city. this is something that the south the festival actually wanted to celebrate. and when i was speaking to residents, they just thought how, how could this happen to us? how could this happen to community? and they just feel incredibly disheartened at the moment, and they're looking for answers which at the moment we have few to little when i spoke to police here, they said look, we can give you any information at the moment. all we can say is that we have a small presence here, and just in order to maintain public safety. but at the moment we've, you know, they've wide in demand hunt,

but there's the little more that they can say about that. as you mentioned in the report, they have asked eye witnesses, people who are at the concert to share material that could be useful in identifying and hopefully finding the perpetrator. okay, i understand there's little the we could actually talk about them, but what we know at least about how events unfolded last night. absolutely. so the attack started shortly after 930. and at 1st it was unclear what was happening at one moment, shortly after that police were informed. and within this, even the d j who was playing issued an account saying that he was told to continue playing in order to make sure that there wasn't some kind of mass panic. and if that's what we're talking about, hundreds, if not thousands of people gathered in this small square, not knowing what's going on. and eventually they were informed, the music stopped. they were informed of what happened. but at that time,

the perpetrator had already fled the scene. so in a way the details are, are very uh, not clear, but we can and say though that the police were responding immediately after being informed of what was happening. tell us more about the man hunt you mentioned before the following this attack that's now being launched. so at the moment, police having given much information. there were news reports earlier that a suspect was arrested. however it's, it's been clear now that that person is likely not tied to this. and again, this was all reported by news. we have no official information from the police that should be coming a little bit later. and we will have that information to you as soon as possible. but however, at the moment, all i could say is that authority said they have expanded the man hunt outside of soley. again, they are looking for the perpetrator. but there's

a little information that they can share now at the public. in fact, they're employing the public to come to come forward with the video material images that they might have taken from the concert. so they can have more pieces of the puzzle to find out what exactly happened last night. and who exactly is this perpetrator? the very latest they have from a reporter louis sanders in solving and thank you very much. the german chancellor old sholtes has reacted to the fatal staffings involving inviting on his official ex account. the chancellor would be attacked in zoning is a terrible incident that leaves me deeply shocked. she went on to say that the perpetrator must be called quickly and punished with the fullest extent of the little and the more analysis on that comment. and on this incident, we have dw security correspond to, let's start with as thomas salts wrote the commenting that the,

the political reactions and a, you know, it sounded tends to tell us more. what other politicians, perhaps the other thing, the patients have followed the same line we've heard from the interior administer. we've heard from the vice chancellor. there's also being reaction and from germany's president funds. by this time i just, i might be in germany's head of state and all of the comments follow the same line shock on the one hand. but interesting saying that the thoughts with the relatives of the victims and basically stressing the need to find the perpetrator business particularly relevant. because the focus now is specifically on that trying to find out who was behind that and why. base attack happened once those 2 pieces of the puzzle, actually a ones the public knows more about about those pieces of the puzzle. will put additions, be able to react accordingly. so depending on the motivation,

depending on who the perpetrator is, depending on where they can find the knife that will determine to what extent or addictions will react in the coming goals. they know it was an ice attack though, i mean, why? so few details released to the public when it's in the public safety essentially because authorities did not want to jeopardize their own investigation. so they want to make sure that they can carry out their investigations without any influence any outside influence if you will. so that's why this follows the fact that we've seen in previous similar incidents that will for a tease, especially local and regional police, give initially very few details until they can have something more, which they can then tell the public. there is a press conference scheduled for later today. so this afternoon here in germany, where authorities will probably give more details but for now they have the site to carry out their investigation without having to inform the public of every single detail of what is happening behind the scenes. are they still trying to determine

about this? absolutely the best, if not, if not one of the big questions the most important element, because the motive determines the critical reaction. if the risk, for example, that political motivation, then that will determine how politicians want to react whether for example, they appeal for strict laws when it comes to knife of tax in germany. if there is no political motivation that go into and also determine how they move forward. so definitely flow through a section of knowing exactly. so that is absolutely at the center of the current investigation and finding the perpetrator and determining the motive. but tell us more about this man hunt, which is being lied and outside the cities further. normally what happens in these kinds of mine hunts as a focus 1st and foremost on the perfect other they move beyond the perimeter. they talked to i witnesses, they tried to talk some of the people who i enjoyed that try and put all the different pieces of the puzzle together. there are also officials probably working behind the scenes trying to see if there were any cameras that's recorded any image

that could be used for the investigation. and now the main task is to really put all that together and trying to form a picture that they can then present it to the public. but this something that takes time and that it requires a lot of people as well. so i can imagine that it's not just let's say local policeman or police officers in solving and working to try and find this out to be something that will require coordination between local, regional and national search. okay, so it is, could well be a national operation. absolutely. okay, how much uh, or how often do things like this attack, these types of nice attacks and go from there to other countries? very rarely. so this is not something that really happens very often. nevertheless, it has been an increase in the night, incidents in recent years in germany, which has led by the way, the interior minister to say that tied to knows have to be discussed and debated on when it comes to possession of of knives. and it's important to stress that we have to really be careful with these that is fixed because police and in general

authorities have not been gathering statistics on this particular issue for a very long time. so experts have one that it's important to not basically conclude that basis and wrong trained. however, in the last few years of police have recorded on increased so that's why there was also concerned about what is happening now dw. so as far as the thank you very much for unpacking that story for us. russia and ukraine have exchanged prisoners of war in a deal broke good by the united arab emirates, the 2 sides of each for at least a $115.00 captives. these pictures are from ukraine's office of the ombudsman. it's the 1st exchange of its kind since keep long states offensive in russia this month . you planning and president, florida me, savanski, thanks the you way for mediation out of comes as ukraine celebrates its independent states. so landscape began with commemorations by paying respects to troops died in the war with russia. he found retribution against moscow as keeps
