of course, we are looking into the background of the perpetrator and all that the claims that have been made about the perpetrator. we will reveal all of the information thatis reveal all of the information that is in our police information system. we will evaluate all of that in the course of our ongoing investigation. we will be in contact with all security agencies. we are seeking to obtain further insights as to

the motives of the perpetrator. of course, with changing information right across germany, i cannot provide you with the full picture at this point in time as to discussion to assess whether this individual was a potential threat is not something which is abstract. there has to be some reason for running that kind of discussion to ascertain whether an individual is a potential threat. whether an individual is a potentialthreat. in whether an individual is a potential threat. in that case, the police can contact the individual and talk to them and they then address the particular case that gave rise to the contact. and then to look at whether that individual might be a potential threat. we don't have any information might be a potential threat. we don't have any information

specifically on at this point specifically on at this point yet. the information that i yet. the information that i have at present is that we do have at present is that we do not have any information. not have any information. social media has said all kinds social media has said all kinds of things but we don't have any of things but we don't have any information yet as to any information yet as to any warnings or threats on social warnings or threats on social media from the perpetrator, as media from the perpetrator, as present matters stand at present matters stand at present. present. present matters stand at present matters stand at what i said _ resent. ~ ,, ~ , resent. ~ ,, ~ , thank you. thank you for that thank you. thank you for that question _ thank you. thank you for that question _ thank you. thank you for that question. perhaps i can correct what _ question. perhaps i

was heading to that crossing at access speed. he seemed to be travelling at a normal speed. while moving towards the christmas market, the perpetrator, once again, drove at a fairly moderate speed, let us say. turning right, subsequently come onto the old market. at that point in time, he accelerated. but i cannot tell you precisely to what speed. but that is the situation as we have evaluated

it today. as said the discussion with individuals who may be a potential threat, i understand your question but, of course, this is not about whether somebody might be a potential threat or not. just general, they would have to be linked to a particular offence or crime so that may be linked to a police measure. that is part and parcel of standard criminal proceedings. so, discussing if someone is a potential threat is one thing that the police can do. the police conduct investigations. if charges are brought, they can also, in the light of that, conduct what is known as a discussion of the person who may be a potential threat and,

in that context, advise the individual they should stop behaving in a particular fashion. so you can't get a blanket responds to talking about somebody who may be a potential threat. these measures are ones which are preventive. an intervention by the event something generally across the board. at this point in time i can't respond to that. i can't give you the precise figure _ i can't give you the precise figure but contact me afterwards. i can give you the precise — afterwards. i can give you the precise figure. i don't have it at precise figure. idon't have it at my— precise figure. i don't have it at my fingertips now but i can tell you — at my fingertips now but i can tell you that those individuals went — tell you that those individuals went hospitals around magdeburg but also _ went hospitals around magdeburg but also to other federal

so you can see their proceedings just wrapping up and we certainly learn some new details there about the events of last night at the christmas market in magdeburg there. i think we can broadly divide this into two areas, really. an update on the investigation and we got an update on the precise events about what actually happened at that christmas market. firstly, when it comes to the investigations, five people being killed including a nine—year—old child so for adults and one child and the child, we now know from

authorities there, nine years old. 200 people injured. when it comes to the suspect, they believe it is a solo perpetrator. we have no evidence to the contrary at the moment said authorities there. what it comes to the motive, they did underline that they don't have the full picture. they don't have the full context when it comes to motive but one potential factor be that the way saudi refugees have been treated in germany but they couldn't go further than that when it came to motive. when it comes to the events of last night, about what we know about what actually happened, well, we have a very precise time now from authorities. 1902, a couple of minutes past seven in the evening, they are in germany, that is when the emergency calls started coming through to the emergency services. and three minutes

later, 1905 s when the suspect was detained. 0ther arrested at 1905 are arrested just a couple of minutes after that. so a very short time period. and we know more details about the route that the suspect in the car took and, crucially, that they use an access route which was deliberately left clear for the use by emergency vehicles and also, potentially evacuation route for people to come in and out of the market so, effectively, a deliberate gap in the bollards and any protection from a vehicle. so that p
