and i want to go now to our correspondent carson phenomena who joins us from washington good evening to you karsten so fill us in on the latest on the investigation from the police now say that the suspect seemed to have had connections to people who were under terrorism investigations but that he himself had not been on the radar of law enforcement agencies after he moved to the u.s. a few years ago he had briefly stayed with the family of a friend of his father's but apparently then broke off contact with that family after he gods married according to some media reports he has fundamentalist religious views for some time but then increasingly radicalized over the last few years the authorities also say that he apparently followed instructions that can be

found on the internet by the so-called i-s. on how to commit such an attack but the police state they still believe that he acted eventually alone and u.s. president drawn he appears to be calling for sweeping changes to america's immigration policy is he likely to get his way. that's very difficult to predict of course there is a lot of anxiety here in the u.s. when it comes to is the missed terrorism and that's understandable given the fact that september eleventh took place here the huge attack in new york and washington and then also other attacks so there is this anxiety as could be a popular proposal from donald trump but then again there's also some resistance there's resistance in the public objected to his previous attempts to limit.

immigration and also travels of people from majority muslim countries to the u.s. those those proposers a so-called travel ban run into legal problems and us also resistance in congress many people democrats in particular saying america is great because of immigration so let's not rush things here and he also made some enemies on the republican side so i'm not quite sure if he would get any drastic measures through congress. what do we know about the dictums from yesterday's attack. of five of the eight people killed were from tragically these were five men who together with their friends celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of their college graduation in argentina and they had traveled to new york and they died on that bicycle and jogging path there's one victim that was killed from belgium the identity of the

a better gen judge on the belgian judge has to be cited he delivers. that mr mr puts them on to a donation of court of spain so ok let's say tomorrow morning thursday morning comes mr burrage tomorrow is not in madrid to testify he can still offer his testimony from brussels and the court in spain will accept it it will be valid testimony i don't see a national court who will accept that because there is a petition by the prosecutor off. mr puts them and e.j. will. probably sort of the and then i. guess the nation of course will not accept the offer by them by mr puts them on. i also understand that mr furze demond is he said that he's for the snap elections that have been called for

december and that he could actually run for office in those elections now if he does not return to spain to testify and then the rest warrant is issued for him will he still be able to run in the snap elections in december. he has a right to run for to sit for he's not election everybody has the right to is to run for election except he or she has been forbidden of being sentenced by a court to rule to to run for public post or for a seat in a parliament so he will have the right to run for election well it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow professor. martin thank you very much we appreciate you helping us understand the way galaxies of this legal story thank you thank you. but more than one hundred fifty works of art collected by

a german during the nazi era are going on display for the first time the works were stolen mainly from jews and then concealed by the collector sun in a munich apartment for decades they were found by chance in two thousand and twelve by a surprise visit from the tax collector you can see the collection at the burn art museum in switzerland and in the german city of ball the exhibition in bern focuses on works which the nazis classified as degenerate and confiscated for sale a broad these include works by wassily kandinsky clay. and. cornelius gurlitt because we have his collection to the museum after his death they accepted it but left around one third of the works in germany so the provenance could be researched the story made headlines around the world.

and the focus of media attention was on looted art it's very tragic because behind every case of looted art there's the terrible fate of someone who was persecuted and in some cases murdered. in bonn the show presents artworks looted from victims of the nazi regime and works whose provenance has not yet been established the german lost art foundation has now identified this painting by two as belonging to french jewish politician and resistance leader george mandela who was executed in nazi occupied france it's the sixth work to be identified as a looted from jewish owners. both exhibitions remain on show until march twenty eighth. you're watching the w.

the project matter deeply to me two years after i took the office avoider the foundation stone was laid the monastery of hundreds who in its adjunct chapels were seven years in the building. you will say that it does not look particularly like a monastery from the outside true the fact was i needed a bastion in the west of the country a stronghold with powers from which a defense could be conducted for a longer period if need be. but let me show you around in the courtyard the impression of

a castle disappears this is not medieval i intended it as a celebration of the rebirth of the arts. for the summer months a generously planned building with an italian large area was to have been at my disposal i remember the rounded arches from my student days in papua one of my uncles had admired and copied the ducal architecture of venice here near the valley of the river old it was all to become reality not that the influences were all foreign even as a boy i had felt envious of the beautiful open verandas that graced the homes of the wealthy or the lucky farmers the elegant almost oriental arcades.

now do you understand why the sultan was so jealous those who are fortunate enough to eat their bread by the mercy of the turks he once said should conduct themselves modestly and not build palaces which only goes to show how little he understood of this project the point is not grander it is proportion this is particularly true of my all time it was the italians turn this kind of covered staircase into stately no doubt but never excessively showing. your. are going. but perhaps you will point to the fine stonework the floral ornaments and the animals carved in stone i can assure you that they were not used to my condition dionysia balika the third abbot of the monastery had been made some forty years after my death and if you will permit the observation these are not extravagant features either. the lions and eagles still

betray their origins as heraldic emblems my private apartments are altogether classical in mood and restrained in style the south wing was intended for such leisure as i had i established a fine library of which nothing now remains bar the inscription next to it was the reception room where i saw important visitors to horrid sue envious tones whisper that i hoarded treasure here but as you have doubtless guessed not a word of the rumors is true. what angered the sultan much more than my court style was doubtless the church and small

wonder i was at pains not to make concessions. for two whole years i deliberated over the plans with my architect it was principally conceived as a marriage of christian ecclesiastical architecture and oriental splendor a post byzantine byzantium but i had other things in mind as well. the decorative features of oriental architecture struck me as cloying what interested me more was symmetry the arcades of the vestibule correspond to the galleries in the cloisters for example. harmonic echoes give the whole a rhythmic unity. in this way the sacred and profane are brought together last remaining distinct. were the

i myself feel that the new stylistic synthesis works best on the court and the inscription above the entrance is a feature normally found in oriental temples here it has been combined with folk art features the sunflowers and the pumpkin flowers are usually seen in the rural architecture of the old valley. there are also features that recalled the delicate stucco of churches in northern italy the and then there is the pear wood door with its nod to an entirely different tradition that of the gothic which was introduced to the locky a by brazil who pull. the wool of the or are the.
