suspected of killing eight and injuring eleven in a truck attack in new york city they say a twenty nine year old truck driver from his back to stand was behind the wheel of a vehicle that rammed bike lane users in manhattan police shot him and he is now being treated in hospital they sorties say it was a terrorist attack but that the suspect seemed to have been acting alone. why he never knows right here rescuers race to free children trapped in a shredded school bus there just some of the victims of tuesday's terror attack in lower manhattan. luckily no one on this bus was killed others were not as fortunate . just moments earlier this pickup truck tore down a bike path nearby plowing into cyclists and pedestrians alike witnesses describe the carnage and the ensuing police shoot out in the bike lane clearly in the bike lane and i see when i go down i see two gentlemen laying right there in the bike

lane with tire marks across their body and you could tell that then i hear no more maybe thirty seconds later i hear somewhere between five in time gunshots one after another and that's when i got interested so i turned around to see what happened when i walked up to it the first thing i saw was a man lying on the ground face down in the middle of the street he was surrounded by police officers it appeared that he was injured. this footage shows the suspect fleeing on foot after jumping from the truck and brandishing but later turned out to be fake guns. police shot him in the stomach before arresting him he's now recovering at a hospital. u.s. media have identified the attack suspect as this man twenty nine year old safer loose a pov from his back a stand witnesses said he could be heard chanting allahu akbar god is great in arabic authorities were quick to label the incident as

a terrorist attack. let me be clear to based on the information we have at this moment that this was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians u.s. president donald trump took to twitter to offer condolences to the victims and their families. he also ordered the department of homeland security to step up its vetting of people traveling to the u.s. . for now authorities say there is no evidence the attack was part of a wider terror plot and they believe the suspect acted alone. our correspondent coston phenomena joins us now from the u.s. capital costs not understand police have the attacker in custody what more can you tell us about him. well as we just heard in the report a young man was bank national who came to the united states legally in two thousand

and ten. is a permanent resident with the so-called green card and worked as a driver for the right telling service. he has lived in cincinnati also in tampa florida and eventually settled in new jersey near new york just across the river hudson where this terrible incident in manhattan now took place according to the reports we have seen he's married with children seems to have very fundamentalist religious views and police found in the truck a handwritten note apparently in which he said that his legions to the islamic states authorities think that he was a lone wolf so he might have been inspired by the i asked but not directly directed by it ok cousin what about those who were killed or injured in this attack do we

know their identities yet we know that five of the victims who were killed were from argentina very tragically these were a group of men who came to new york to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their college graduation also we know that one of the victims that were killed was a belgian national the identity of the other two victims who were killed we don't have yet among those injured also two kids and two adults who were traveling on the bus this truck crashed into at the end of its deadly right now there's already talk of tightening security measures in response to this attack president trump i understand is ordered to step up vetting process is what are you hearing. it was quite remarkable that president trump so quickly

a used this event to promote his anti me gratian and security agenda up is the islamist terrorism is a big problem not only in the united states but also in many other western countries but still it's worth mentioning that it's still a thousand times more likely in america in the us to be killed by another american than by is the mr terrorists actually according to some statistics it's more likely to be killed by an armed toddler in the u.s. than by it is the missed terrorist so the question is really if president trump has his priorities right here when it comes to the issue of violence what was very impressive was the resilience of new yorkers tuesday it was halloween and there was a tradition of big halloween parades which actually took place and i guess some of the people who attended had some mixed feelings but still the message was clear we

are new yorkers we survived september eleventh we will survive this attack and we will not change our way of life because of these terrorists. is constant phenomena there in new york thank you. well here in germany authorities say they have foiled a planned terrorist attack in the northern city of shriveling german special forces arrest of the nineteen year old syrian man during a raid at his apartment complex early monday or tuesday morning rather the suspect reportedly had online contact with islamist extremists investigators say he had spent several months gathering parts and chemicals for a highly explosive ball is intended target is still unclear. spain's high court has summoned the sacked catalan leader to testify in madrid on thursday it's the latest twist in the ongoing catalan crisis call this push

tomorrow is currently in brussels he travelled to belgium after prosecutors announced they would file charges after he declared independence they accused him and other cabinet members of rebellion and other crimes. karla's demands first appearance since declaring catalan independence last week was every bit as frenetic as the political fallout he left behind in spain now in belgium the ousted president said he's there for protection not asylum i am not here in order to deliver because. this is not the belgian question here in brussels and with all of europe i'm here. to act with freedom and safety and security. as he left yet more chaos the upstart leader couldn't avoid questions of whether he had fled the scene. outside the

spanish unity supporters certainly think so. i'm here to defend spain and complain about this person who is a coward and a terror maker. the courts made to have their say invoking laws rarely used in modern times catalan leaders face up to thirty years in prison for crimes of sedition rebellion and embezzlement. but the spanish government does welcome pushed him on support for fresh elections in december seen as a concession to madrid. it is very important to respect this call for elections from the prime minister of the spanish government. and this is very important because this implies an acceptance that the return to democratic legality lies with accepting democratic elections back in barcelona pushed him on still dominates the waves though some were surprised at their former leader turning up in belgium supporters say they understand why he's there. when i when i look at it yes

i understand what he's saying right now the spanish government isn't giving him any guarantees and then he learns here they can put him in prison. and in the years whether his bid to break up spain will indeed to land him behind bars will be the subject of intense scrutiny not just here but across europe. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today japan's shinzo abhi has been reelected prime minister by the country's parliament this after his ruling coalition won a landslide victory last month retaining a two thirds super majority. is expected to use his renewed political mandate to push for reforms to the country's pacifist constitution. well the six hundred asylum seekers have refused to leave an australian immigration camp on an island in papa new guinea the monist island detention center was closed on tuesday after

local authorities declared it unconstitutional australia had funded the camp to deter migrants from trying to reach the shores by boat. in sri lanka wildlife protection crews launched a three hour operation to free rather annoyed wild elephants that have been stuck in a well for three days crews used an excavator to cut a path for the elephant to escape and for an extra bit of incentive they chased the animal off with fire it's. russian president vladimir putin is set to meet his a rainy and counterpart house on rouhani in tehran today the talks will focus on the ongoing conflict in syria as moscow a new initiative to end the country's civil war both iran and russia want fresh elections in syria featuring current ruler bhatia. iran has said cooperation with russia is a clear rebuke to u.s.

efforts to stem iranian influence in the middle east let's bring in our moscow correspondent yuri rachet zero on this story hi ruth tell us how significant is this meeting between the russian and iranian leaders in to around. well this meeting takes place in the context of increased tensions between tehran and washington off to get us president of the trump refused to confirm iran's implementation of the nuclear agreement and washington post penalties against a terror run for its test of ballistic missiles in september this year however terry is now both muscular and stare on obviously going to send a clear signal to washington which means once again moscow is support for the iranian leadership and at the same time it could be a signal to europe to show the you that moscow like brussels is committed to the agreement the question here is that to mean any cooperation between moscow and brussels this issue experts say if yes only rhetorical because if washington still

decides to cancel the agreement and to impose sanctions on tehran once again either europeans or russians want to be able to do anything against it now russia has been coordinating talks between various factions involved in the syrian conflict another round just took place in kazakhstan what came out of those talks. well let's keep in mind that these let's call them alternative told us in austin i have been taking place for almost one year meanwhile since they are starting january diplomats have been facing huge challenges struggling to achieve even small successes to stop violence in syria. for the escalation zones for example set up since may of this year awful want but unity for diminishing mistrust on both sides and it seems non of the warring parties want to give up views on speech is true at least of the government and the non jihadist opposition and this is terry one of the outcomes in austin on the rushers going to be hosting

a further talks on the syrian conflict in salt she on nov eighteenth more than thirty belligerent factions are invited to those talks should we expect any progress there. well i've been talking recently to representatives of russia's minister of defense enough guy who confirmed that the so-called islamic state could definitely collapse very soon in syria and iraq and the question is terry what comes next what is the what is needed they say is a national conference and meetings that includes all the groups in syrian society all ethnic and religious groups with representatives of both the government and opposition suggestions like these have been made repeatedly during the years syrian civil war for almost seven years russia is presently putin the south recently he hoped that further talks in sochi could help to other calm distrust on both sides finally but presumably coming talks in sochi in the end will be very very difficult

indeed like every talks in the past. years moscow correspondent euro shadow thanks you're watching the news still to come live for syrian refugees in jordan it's hosting around one and a half million of them we report on the daily struggle for one teenager and his family. and germany's dortmund play cypriot side up well nicosia tonight hoping to make it through to the knockout stage of the champions league or take a look at their chances of escaping the so-called group. but first facebook google and twitter face increased scrutiny of their advertising models it's all about russia meddling in the u.s. election gallant that's right terry the companies have begun two days of hearings before u.s. lawmakers the question is has russia used the company's services to sway american voters in last year's presidential elections the world's largest social network

facebook admitted that one hundred twenty six million people may have seen politically divisive posts from fake accounts that originated in russia facebook's spokesman described the content as vile upsetting and cynical. the white house caught in a web of black spiders for halloween the president and first lady confront the monsters in their garden. but trump may have even bigger fears especially since a former foreign policy adviser to his campaign george papadopoulos has admitted to lying to the f.b.i. about contacts with russian intelligence he could be an important informant to special counsel robert mueller if he delivers concrete evidence that trumps campaign team illegally colluded with the russian government mother was appointed and made to lead the investigation into russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election during the campaign ads from russia were placed on social media that could have influenced the vote of up to one hundred twenty six million u.s.

citizens many of the ads pushed pro trump messages opposing clinton now investigators are trying to clarify how that could have happened. regarding the company's facebook twitter google coming before us and both committees that it really is time for them to step up and recognize that we have a problem facebook twitter and google have been responding to lawmakers questions and back to back hearings in both the senate and the house. after allegations of sexual harassment against kevin spacey netflix now says it's suspending production of the sixth season off of its company has announced early other season in production would be the last series about a fictional u.s. president played by spacey has been a cash cow for the video on demand service. for years house of cards has been netflix's most popular show since the video on demand service launched the

experts to tell you so especially if purported markings from the royal canadian meant makers gold bullion that budget of it here there is no gold whatsoever but it's it's it's not made of gold you know that was a problem for this jewelry business which bought the bar it's since been reimbursed but investors and jewelers alike might be worried at a compromised supply. for the mint will want to get the bottom of it because it. undermines confidence in their product and they certainly don't don't want that nor does any of the financial institutions in canada want that they don't especially not the royal bank of canada which sold the board it's since returned the piece for testing at the mint but other bogus ones could be in wide circulation and difficult to find. that's all your business for the time being it's back to terry now thank
