stroudsburg shooting two people die and eleven are injured after a gunman opens fire near a christmas market. alone barbarous are you watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on a ring the guardians of journalism saudi writer jamal khashoggi is among the murdered or imprisoned journalists to be named time magazine's person of the year. may's mission to win the late concessions on breck's it but the e.u.

rules out a new renegotiation and the community under threat the fight to stop israeli forces bulldozing an entire bedouin village. begin the program with a developing story coming out of france the french interior minister says that at least two people have died in a shooting in strasburg. residents feel the aftermath of the incident in the sixty close of the german border at least eleven people have been injured let's go to natasha butler in paris the cash obviously details still coming in but the police do seem to know they think they know who is responsible for this. yes that's right some more details emerging from stress but where was you know an evening of

christmas shopping for people there at this time of year you know full festivities turned into an absolute nightmare i mean what we know is that it was around eight eight thirty in the evening local time when a man opened fire near this christmas market in strasbourg and according to local authorities it seems that at least four people were killed two people that was the toll earlier but in the house seems that two others who were severely injured have also since died now the police are saying that they have identified the shooter they know who he years a twenty nine year old who comes from the city of stress or in fact he was known to the intelligence services he was on a security watch list and the antiterrorism prosecutor in france is actually an open investigation into this and what's also interesting is that some of french media are reporting that it was earlier this morning that police actually raided the home of this man they found

a certain amount of record weapons it's been reported but he wasn't there at the time so it sounds as if police were perhaps on his trail or at the moment in the city of strasbourg we have a situation in which the man is the shooter is still at large but the police seem to have cordoned off an area in looks as if they could have tracked him down to a certain part of the city and huge police operation is under way that perhaps he's there and perhaps they're hoping that they finally tracked him down and surrounded him and tasher these are difficult times in france anyway the president when we're in the car has been struggling with the protests the violent protests that we've seen for the past few weeks there so how has the government responded to this. when i was in fact speaking to m.p.'s and politicians meeting with them in paris this evening after those protests that you mentioned these yellow vests protests over the high cost of living here in france he had to break off that meeting

urgently he has dispatched the interior minister kristoffer kasten there to strasbourg of course oversee the situation as as the as this story continues and they are very difficult times in france and of course every time something like this happens it is just a stark reminder for so many french people all of the many other times that attacks like this have happened in france because they've been so many over the years that of course brings back all those memories that sense of sadness and foreboding and i think also they'll be many people wondering how is it that this man who was known to the intelligence services that the police force and deemed to be a possible threat because if you're on this watch list that's what you are how is it that such a person could have been able to amass weapons and carry out the sort of carnage that we saw in strasbourg this evening so i think they'll be a lot of questions being asked over the next few days but for now of course the focus is on finding the shooter natasha know you'll be following all developments

because politicians on six continents are attacking the public's trust in the media but they add that in washington jamal khashoggi is murder on orders of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon has congress and the public taking a very close look at the trumpet ministrations priorities alliances and values this is a moment where one understands that from a foreign policy perspective the us has to demonstrate what it stands for and because show she killing in the fallout has opened up. much of the subtle debates we've had behind the scenes in the full public view and that's why it's become so contentious time editors say and the other honorees symbolize the journalists around the world who try to hold their leaders accountable a tribute to those who question even at catastrophic risk to themselves rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington u.k. prime minister tourism a has been meeting e.u.

will cost the french government eleven billion us dollars that's according to the budget minister but it's not clear if the government has done enough to stop a protest movement that's lasted for weeks and brought chaos to central paris bernard smith reports. the yellow bus protesters are getting ready for christmas on the roundabout camps that have sprung up across france president emanuel macro's decision to increase the minimum wage and cut taxes for most pensioners hasn't persuaded the people here to abandon their protests has been a model to be i'm not that don't convince because he has an address what the people are expecting these are only small meals and they won't be paid for by bankers in financials what we did you find the president sincere i don't get. is the wife is a. teacher of theater so has

a long experience of what we've gone four weeks ago as a protest over an increase in diesel taxes has developed into a wider campaign by people from france's towns and villages who struggle to make ends meet in one of europe's most highly taxed countries yellow vest protests across central paris to a standstill while violent elements have smashed up shops and. in those few weeks the movement has radicalized and these these announcements are not enough to stop the movement overnight specially as its roots go back in they kase off policy. in the qualities between their eateries and regions in france the prime minister told parliament he understood why the frustration came from. behind the anger expressed on the way people are paid you are where we are all aware that there is something else that there is anger of of being left behind on the lack of perspective that there was the choice the country so not to lead the public that sleep that there

was the choice conscious or not for years. the questions as they were arranged for example the question of massive unemployment. figures the government says it's concessions including scrapping fuel tax rises will cost more than eleven billion dollars that risks pushing the budget deficit. to three point four percent past the use three percent limit there's no official leadership for the yellow vest protesters so it's difficult to gauge a majority opinion on what president mark on had to say or the concessions he made for that we may have to wait until saturday and what's being called act five to see how many people turn out and protest. but it's made al-jazeera on the outskirts of paris. still ahead on the show a former canadian diplomat is the taint in china as tensions rise over a case targeting china's tech giant way way and the teenage girls in tanzania forced to abandon their education because the pregnant.
