magdeburg in central germany. there will be a special service this evening and you can see police emergency workers filing in an uniform in the space inside is reserved for those affected and their families emergency and relief workers representatives of the federal state and city governments. that is from town officials there on social media explaining that it won't be open for everyone inside but everyone is welcomed outside in this cathedral is just a short walk away from the side of the christmas market where we now know five people were killed, four adults and one child a nine—year—old child and 200 or so injured. he will try to stay on these live pictures but as we do, we just on these live pictures but as we do, wejust want on these live pictures but as we do, we just want to on these live pictures but as we do, wejust want to bring in my guest and speak to the

assistant let's speak now to graig klein, an assistant professor at the insitute of security and global affairs at the university of leiden in the netherlands — but who isjoining me from new york today. we have two contrasting schools of thought, people coming together inside the cathedral and remembering those who are lost, the families of those who have been injured and the emergency workers themselves will have seen and witnessed some very traumatic events coming up to 2a hours ago. at the same time, we have police right now holding in custody their suspect as they have started the questioning and started the questioning and started the questioning and started the process of trying to understand a motive. what are some the questions and what is the framework that will be gone through? i is the framework that will be gone through?— gone through? i think one of the challenges _ gone through? i think one of the challenges and - the challenges and understanding motivation here is it appears the perpetrator

is it appears the perpetrator is applying a bit of what we would think of as salad bar extremism. a phrase coined by christopher, head of the us fbi backin christopher, head of the us fbi back in 2020. it is when an individual picks different pieces of ideology or motivations and puts them together in a way of their own puzzle of trying to make sense of the world and this can make it quite complex for law enforcement and security identify motivation and to identify motivation and to identify the risk of threat or how pertinent of a threat that individual might pose to society. individual might pose to socie . �* individual might pose to socie .�* , society. and i suppose, frameworks _ society. and i suppose, frameworks or - society. and i suppose, frameworks or mental i society. and i suppose, - frameworks or mental processes that are well—established and known from when someone will potentially have ideas, plans, threats, and what happens when it comes to action. activating them and the assessments made by intelligence services about when that step could happen.

there are several frameworks and several competing frameworks in a way that is a process that can be more considered zig zag moving between different phases and one of the challenges is that a lot of times of individuals who may have extremist thoughts or may have extremist thoughts or may believe in extremist ideologies or motivations that do not act on them and commit acts of violence where we have some people who do commit violence some colleagues of mine, securing global affairs, professor bart sherman and sarah, they do study this and carried out research especially on what motivates people and what separates those who believe in extremism who commit violence and those who believe in extremist ideologies and motivations and do not commit this violence. and that is something we need to learn more about as to why the individuals may believe in a lot of the same types of things or have similar motivations do not act

on these and why some individuals might act on them and what triggers them to go a step forward in these acts of violence. step forward in these acts of violence-— step forward in these acts of violence. ~ , ., violence. we should underline that less than _ violence. we should underline that less than 24 _ violence. we should underline that less than 24 hours - violence. we should underline that less than 24 hours on - violence. we should underline. that less than 24 hours on from the authorities in the press conference little earlier on, they're underlining that the broader context for in a motive on the background for an emotive is still trying to get to the bottom of that —— motive and data sources, social media, online, previous con contexts and is there a case reach enough cases like this where, depending on how much the individual or the group involved actually volunteered themselves, the clear motives and triggers can remain a mystery?— and triggers can remain a mystery? and triggers can remain a m ste ? ,, ., , mystery? sure. there are times where we _ mystery? sure. there are times where we can — mystery? sure. there are times where we can have _ mystery? sure. there are times where we can have different - where we can have different actors where it is unclear the exact or specific trigger but

changes them for maybe believing in a certain motivation or a certain perspective of the world and what causes them to act on this often times we find that to be in immediate factor in known individuals life in these for a long time but then something happens in the very recent past, elicits more of a or angers them even more a really pushes them over the edge and they feel that their perspective of the world has changed and they need to do something. plenty of research that looks this idea that the approximate triggers and identifying what that might be in part because that individual has perspectives that are shaped by different motivations in this case and it seems a social media data in the background that there are many competing factors or different

pieces of a puzzle that would make it hard to identify a specific trigger reaction or exactly what the main motivation is for this individuals behaviour. thank ou for individuals behaviour. thank you for coming _ individuals behaviour. thank you for coming on _ individuals behaviour. thank you for coming on the - you for coming on the programme. the service of the cathedral near the christmas market location is ongoing now and we will be heading back to magdeburg in germany. here in the uk, hundreds of extra government staff have been on duty today to help speed up the processing of claims for pension credit. those on low incomes have until midnight to apply for it, to ensure they receive extra help with fuel bills this winter. with more details here's our business correspondent marc ashdown. gary applied for pension credit back in september, but as the cold weather takes hold, he's still waiting for it to be processed, leaving him out of pocket. at the moment, it's costing me

£190 a month in lost revenue which i'm having to make up from my own savings accounts. because the total benefit that i was receiving before reaching my 66th birthday, some of those benefits have now ended and i applied for pension credit to make up the difference. worth around £4,000 a year itself, the pension credit is also a gateway to receiving the winter fuel payment. last winter, 10.8 million pensioners received between £200 and £300, depending on their age, to help towards paying their energy bills. but in september, the government won a vote in parliament to restrict the payment to those receiving certain benefits,

like pension credit. at the time, department for work and pensions analysis showed 780,000 pensioners who could qualify for the benefit weren't expected to actually apply for it. since the end ofjuly, it has received 150,000 fresh applications. so far, 42,500 additional claimants are receiving pension credit. the department said it's drafted in 500 extra staff to help process a growing backlog and there's a help line open until 3:15 this afternoon to offer advice to anyone yet to apply. applicants need details like their national insurance number, income and savings information and their bank account details. charities, however, are warning pensioners to be wary of scams. i'm aware that there are lots of scammers out there either cold calling people, pretending to be from the dwp or sending people text messages and, really, they're trying to get people's personal details. and the dwp would never cold call anybody or contact anybody — they don't chase people to apply for pension credit by phone. so, if anyone does receive any messages like that, then it's likely be a scam and it's either best ignored or if you're in doubt, then contact a local age uk

or the age uk advice line to check. the government said over a million pensioners will still receive the winter fuel payment and it's urging anyone who thinks they might qualify for pension credit to act now, before the deadline at the end of today. marc ashdown, bbc news. joe biden has signed into law a bill which will avoid a shut down of the us government. the legislation was passed in the early hours of saturday morning, after two previous attempts had failed. peter bowes reports. the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. a sigh of relief for more than 3 million us government workers. many americans feared that christmas would be overshadowed by a damaging federal shutdown with no pay for some and reduced services. this was the third attempt to agree a spending plan after donald trump and his government efficiency tsar, the billionaire elon musk, intervened to scupper the bill in its originalform.

but with hours to go before the government ran out of money, a deal. after days of wrangling, republicans and democrats agreed on a plan that will fund the government for the next three months. there's money for essential services, as well as disaster relief and aid for farmers. the bill passed in congress but the president—elect appeared to be calling the shots. i was in constant contact with president trump throughout this process. he knew exactly what we were doing and why and this is a good outcome for the country. i think he certainly is happy about this outcome as well. but there's no reference in the bill to lifting the debt ceiling. that's the limit on how much the government can borrow — a measure which trump wanted in place before his inauguration. house democrats have - successfully stopped extreme maga republicans from shutting down the government, _ crashing the economy - and hurting working class

americans all across the land. the bill's passing marks the end of a turbulent few days in washington, which have also exposed divisions amongst republicans a month before donald trump takes office. peter bowes, bbc news. to the middle east now. a houthi missile strike on the israeli city of tel aviv has wounded more than a dozen people. the military said attempts to shoot down a projectile launched from yemen had been unsuccessful and that it had landed in a public park. 0ur correspondent shaimaa khalil is following in the early hours of the morning, residents had been woken up by more sounds of sirens after a big explosion, having to scramble to save places. explosion, having to scramble to safe places. as you say, 16 people were injured. minor injuries, mainly from flying shards of glass. we heard from the israeli military who said they failed to intercept that projectile

and shoot it down, and it fell in a public park but we heard from the spokesperson who said that the iran backed group had successfully hit a military target, reiterating, yet again, that they promise that these attacks are going to continue until the war in gaza stops. remember, very early on in the gaza war, the houthi rebels have been launching attacks on israel and israeli targets, stopping international shipping in 2023, for example. they say these attacks are going to continue. just earlier this week, couple of days ago, israel conducted multiple air strikes on houthi military targets in both the capital and in the port city. essentially targeting energy infrastructure. energy electricity stations and oil terminals and refineries. and the worrying thing is not just the frequency. the fact that this is happening within days of each other or simultaneously because,

as these warplanes were near the military intercepted yet another earlier this week which was partly intercepted. part of that destroyed a building and fell on a school so, if you will, the houthi part of that conflict is still quite alive. it is still quite tense. at a time when we are looking out for a potential ceasefire between israel and hamas, we don't know how advanced it is but we do know from key negotiating parties, that they are in advanced stages. more than any other time before. it is very delicate. sometimes these things
