and the a cod drives into crowns that a christmas market in germany. at least 2 people are dead. and 68 in judge the the i mean under as you need to reach this is out a 0 like from day ha. also coming up us diplomats hold that fast face to face talks with serious new lead us dropping a $10000000.00 bounty for his arrest. the devastation in news and central gaza. is there any strikes target palestinian homes? children are among the debt and the u. s. is hours away from

a government's shot down as congress is voting now on a new spending bill, the we begin with breaking news out of germany where at least 2 people have died and thousands are injured. audra cout plowed into a crowd at a christmas market. the happened in the city of america too bad. the driver was arrested on the scene and an extensive police operation is on the way. the german state premier says the perpetrator has been identified as a 50 year old dog to us from saudi arabia. he was previously unknown to security services. now, the city of mazda back is located about 160 kilometers west of the capitol,

but then police will call to the christmas market shortly off to 7 pm, local time and tonsil. i love charles has issued a statement on the situation in a post on x. he said, the reports from mazda book suggest something terrible has happened. my thoughts are with the victims and the families. we stand by the side and by the side of the people of magda book, my son does go to the dedicated rescue walk as in these anxious hours. so now we can see some live pictures that from the scene of this attack been marketed back in germany. now we know that hospitals in the area, our prep to take and casualties. we also know that quite a lot of people have been in to more than 60 as we've been hearing from local authorities that 2 people tragically dead. and we've also had that one of those who have been killed is a small child. they've been described as

a small child. and the police are saying on next that extensive operations all taking place of the market, which is now obviously as you can see, the closed and very high police presence that as you would expect. and we do know that there is that suspect in custody, as the police has already said, he is a, from saudi arabia, adults from saudi arabia, which we understand has been in germany, living in germany since 2006. now another important thing that the police had said is that the perpetrator acted alone. the police do not see an on going threat. however, of course, that is something they'll be looking into in the coming hours. so that we can be joined by dominique came. he's joining us live from the scene of this attack from act about domain festival. can you 1st tell us,

what is it that you're seeing around to describe the same score you can see behind me is this is as close as the police allowing or allowing the media to get to the scene of the crime. this area. well, we know that the call that drove through this air drove around 400 meters, some say more than that at high speed through what was a crowded area. you've mentioned with 2 dads, you mentioned that around 68 people wounded. we know that around a quarter of them 15 were described as being staffed for that's the in german. that means the most badly injured. many of them taken to the hospital. what do we know about the person who the police hvac friend did a 50 year old man from saudi arabia came to this country and 2006 is a doctor working in psychiatry psycho therapy from the town of bound book, which is about 50 kilometers away from here, the call was hired as he drove it here and drove it through the crowd of people

here. police trying to look at what the motivation was, but also the emergency services here having to come to terms with what has happened . we know also political reaction has been swift pulled off shots, talking about the a loading events here. he will be here for himself on saturday morning as will the interior minister of germany, nancy phase, who will be wanting to see what has happened to, but also to show the solidarity with the people of this city. but also with those who will close up in this incidents because it does reminds people of what has happened at christmas markets in germany previously. so suddenly, the incidents of 2016 branch and dizzy and asylum seekers failed asylum seeker and as i'm reached, drive the truck into a crowded christmas market in west berlin. lots of echoes of that here. this is as close as we can get to the scene of the crime right now. i mean,

it gets interesting. you mentioned the ontario, administer non c phase. and she said any last month that there were no concrete signs of danger to christmas markets this year. but she added that it would be wise to be vigilant and how, what suddenly sounding ominous now and christmas markets such a traditional thing to do in gemini, and as he also having saying and your lives the for the last friday before christmas. what has this done? what will this do to people's general sense of safety and security of the country? that's the central question, isn't it? the security services here, obviously very keen to stress the relative safety of the country as they see it. and yet we know that it a city not that far away from here out for the close down the christmas market. not because of a concrete warning evidence that sort of thing. but from the wish to

a late fee is if people, you know, in the neighboring states tooling in the ring gear, in english, that the authorities saying that every christmas market will have a much higher police presence precisely to allay those fee is the question will be what about the other christmas markets are rams germany? they are all very many of them. it is the time of. yeah, it will be tomorrow. stop today is the last saturday before christmas. ordinarily hundreds of thousands may millions of people might well be looking to go to a christmas market somewhere in this country. what sort of feeling will they have when they consider what they plan to do? the other thing to remember is the, in so far as the suspected perpetrator is concerned, ma'am, was not known to police for having committed any kind of cromwell being suspect. is there any particular crow? and so they will be looking very hard now to try to work caps is movements over the last day or so the last week or so. but also the mind worked as adult to in psycho

therapy in psychiatry, in the city and elsewhere. he lived in bound book as a said, 50 kilometers away. many people have known this man. many people who have come into contact with him. many people will be off by the police. what did you know of this man? so they can work hard profile of who he really is. and it's interesting that you mention dominique that this past and was not really on the radar. the security service is that is one important distinction to that 2016 attack in violin with the 10 is in a suspect up, the perpetrator was actually on the radar of the security services. so how difficult really is it to, to keep a handle on these threats? that could be coming, it seems out of the blue it's, it's a tough job for the security services and the authorities. but then at the same time, a christmas market has previously been a target. and presumably there was some safety precautions put into place since

that previous attacks of the it's one of the things that, that was done in a concrete sense, by the, or far as he's off to on his emory carry doctor's attack in 2016. if i tried spots in west berlin was to strengthen the measures that were in place physically to make it difficult for a person to use a vehicle at high speed to try to plow into christmas market stalls and the people apps them. and so if you go to different cities in this country, you find that it is actually physically, it's almost impossible for vehicles to go around the securities route. so you would have to go around to try to get into the markets. the interesting thing is that the interior ministry in this state and elsewhere, immediately responding to it in saying that, that police officers, certainly in the states are filling in and in the state to talking about going around all of christmas markets. they can't to work out all their any particular

places where the security measures are perhaps not as strong as they might be. well, that's one thing that they can do to try to deal with this idea that christmas markets all week or on strong enough, or on secure enough for all the against the source of stress. but then that will be the question. if they weren't aware of this individual, if you haven't come to their attention for any criminal associates, then how would they know that this individual was planning this particular incident? those this serious question sort of this idea of what they call a lone wolf as well. we don't know if that is what this, this is all about because we're at the early stages of an investigation, but presently it's a line of inquiry. there's no question. the police will want to know who was in contact with this month. and the other side of the coin is trying to strengthen the measures of christmas markets. so something like this can't happen anywhere else.

thank you for that. dominique uh, dominique haynes, uh, reporting live from the scene of the attack in mazda. the book the, the us has taken a step towards legitimize things and use sarah and administration by meeting it lita accurate. i'll show talk. millie's dep denied barbara leave, let the delegation to syria for the 1st engagement between washington and the new leadership in damascus. now following the meeting, she confirmed that the us is lifting a $10000000.00 balance fee for al serra, who's the head of hire tested alshaun, a designated terrorist organization, at least, added washington. we'll look at the sanctions imposed on syria. however, she says a new leadership will have to be responsive and demonstrate progress before restrictions

are lifted and both parties agree to work together to find john, it is often ties and other american citizens when missing during bosher, all assets ro. russell side has been following the latest developments from damascus. it was quite an important meeting of the 12 years for the 1st time. and the american delegation was one of the official visits in damascus and meeting the city of officials. so here, the statement that was values of the, the meeting is quite the closest one. so it says that the american delegation had been engaging with the city and people, including members of civil society, acted as members of different communities. and the city of voices about the region for the feature of the country. and then the statement goes on. seeing that the delegation has met the representatives of the patient. yes. as well to discuss the transition physicals. so based on this statements,

it seems that the americans wanted to show the world and of course, the new position in the city of the usa is not seen as just as the sole, the representative of syria, m. syrians. as soon as they met several other groups as well, see them also, stakeholders in new syria, that is definitely a clear message is just saying it's too early to see you as on the last move problem in this country. so the, the, the, the, the s, as the secretary barber leave has confirmed that the us is not going to pursue a 10000000 dollars bounty on july his head. however, she has not commented whether they should, yes, jolanda himself and all these deals offices are going to be removed from the taylor list or not to talk is president and the rest of type a one has rates or a to attack is determination to eliminate you as fact cottage met like to in

northern syria. this is the latest picture of the military situation in the country . if you take a look at the green area, it shows territory controlled by the new government. and then the north east is controlled by the syrian democratic forces. a coalition led by cottage places, the west supports this group on has the troops that now in the north i talk you and it's allied flight is control. the read areas talk is set, says it wants to keep cottage devices away from his folder. and in this house he's ready to ground forces our expanding that will keep patient of the golden heights. they've seized. what was a demilitarized bosses and i've gone beyond it. the one says this violates the longstanding agreement with syria. now send them could certainly has more of this from the symbol. it took care of stalls towards the searing chord this rebel group y, p g has been cleared since the beginning of the us supports

a to the group in the fight against iso because and because of the very ranks and the uh, in, within the y p g a who are former members of the p k. k offload for the sound workers party and doing all those minutes through rates in northern syria and finding documents of the p k k. and the p k. k leaders, p k k flags in those why pj yourselves in camps to key a says it's is definitely an extension of the all the peak a k y p g is not a regular or normal syrian curtis reval group. that's why any samuel turned on those or alternate almost any independent region or comp. tony led by the y p g. a long trick is border with syria is impossible for the turkish government. that's why they are fighting the group inside to get outside to get, including northern iraq and northern syria. they'll permissions targeting the y p g n. as in syria is conducted by the syrian national army, turkish back fill in

a position fighters that when formerly known as the free syrian army, but apparently to kit who believes that currently the stability and safety in syria is very important for the millions of syrian refugees who, who are destined to go back to their country. there's, there is no room for terrorist organizations. i'm to care, says it p k, k y, p g r, service organizations as i so is. and that's why it, before donald trump takes a seat seat to kid, believes that this problem should be addressed and definite the result without target. some other 3 intervention at least for now the, the to gaza, where the news. so the strip has been under is really military siege for more than

70 days. the at least 10 palestinians have been killed in a strike that targeted a home in jamalia 7 of those killed in the attack, a children. and in the center aid palestinians have been killed in another. is there a attack on a residential building in almost a rod refugee camp? a father and his children are among the dead. is riley forces have killed at least 25 people across the strip says, due on friday. honey mac mood has moved from darrow by law in central garza on these ready attacks across the strip. despite the leaves of. 1 the seas fire talks in cairo, the situations across the gods to remain very difficult and continues to evolve in a much more challenging and difficult scenario. as these really military continues to ride in the northern part of the script continue at military seas of the entire northern part of the golf game, including areas like giovanni,

scrambling to make the new deal after upon boxed by trump failed term. and so now let's cross 2 out us else about whose life or us from capital hill on us. very good to have you with us. while this was really down to the why, a lot of people breathing a sigh of relief across the united states. now not only the workers they would have been expected to go to act without pay. but tell us more about how this came about . it's got something to do with president elect, donald trump, he's already making waves and he's not really fully in office yet. tell us more of the that's really interesting guys. if the capitol hill and the political scene of the united states needs more of drama. so tonight was more negotiations between democrats and republicans and also within the j o. p. inside the capital held the republicans between themselves. they were unable to reach an agreement on thursday. and then they tried today on friday with

a lot of voices demanding. no rise under the ceiling, but eventually the democrats voted uh for uh, had more votes to vote for this spending bell. then the republicans home presented this bill. eventually the shut down the government shut down, has been avoided, and that's the good news for the americans. but there are new political elements in this story, and the most important part is alone mosque, who is supposed to be an advisor for president elect donald trump, who recommended some recommendations in the spending bill, including raising the debt ceiling. does that where the problem held the this bill yesterday and today apparently the republicans decided to take that out of this bill and then eventually voting on that. and democrats said yes and the past in the upcoming days. also this discussion will continue on the impact and the influence

of alumnis getting these decisions. and then on trump definitely has to say something we have heard tell. now from the white house will coming this approval by the united states house of representatives. and also we have heard from senator schumer who is the majority leader in the senate where the bell will be sent to and then afterward it's will be sent to the white house where a president biden has to sign to go into effect till mid march. and that is we will have another, might be another dramatic of negotiations between democrats and republicans who passed another bill where it, donald trump, will be asking for raising the debt ceiling to handle some issues. for this bill, it has 3 guards, 3 major parts. the 1st one consisting the disaster relief was estimated around $100000000.00 and also some aids for farmers around $10000000000.00 and other

spending aspects that will be covered during the upcoming 3 months. for this. now it has ended, but i believe in, in some, in a, in a big the big picture. it shows that there are some issues within the republican party that have, that has to be dealt with in the upcoming days on us. thank you so much for that. on us else about live for us from capital hill. thank you. canadian prime minister justin to jo has shuffled his cabinet to changing one side of his top team on the same day, the leader of the party that's prop top to those liberal minority said he plans to trigger a new confidence very to bring down the government is the latest in a series of blows which are though his deputy prime minister, christian freeland, resigned on monday, she publicly slammed his economic policies at a time when us president electronic is threatening to levy,

a 147 microns and the asylum seekers on board. they was stuck off show for 93 weeks before a court order and evacuation. and criminal charges followed. what stage the american actor richard king had visited the boat and spoke of the conditions on board. so vini was interior ministry at the time, the band charities for bringing migrants to the country, accusing them of making overcrowded conditions, was particularly on the island of land produced. it's, it is just the system has long been adults with the right wing government over its immigration laws. the galaxy of prime minister, georgia malone is plans to send asylum seekers to pena has only recently being questioned by court in rome. maloney has given her full support to solving with solving he found in as soon it's possible that his government may well look
