coaching casualty in the bundesliga as pay to assure go away is going by at stake alone after four and a half event bowl years. sarah harmon welcome to the show it's good to have you with us. investigators say the suspicious package found at a pharmacy in the german city of pasta on friday was not about terrorism but in fact blackmail investigators say whoever sent the package was demanding money from d.h.l. the german delivery company. a hissing sound then nothing but it was a close call in pots time on friday when employees at a pharmacy opened a package found in their store the device inside was much more dangerous than investigators originally thought. didn't apparently the

blackmailer or the blackmailers didn't mind risking injuries or even death of those who received the packages. called the target the delivery firm d.h.l. included in the package was a black mail letter embedded as a q.r. code. info to whoever sent the package demanded a large sum of money if you didn't get paid he said he would send more packages ascendant. a similar package was found in early november in another city and brandenburg investigators believe the suspect may make good on his threat to deliver more dangerous parcels. well for more on this i've got. brady in the studio with me cade it's not terrorism but it sounds like there's still a threat well there certainly is still a threat as police in front of the said today this is clearly someone who's willing

to put people's lives in danger with these packages and police now fear that there's going to be more of these packages been sent and interestingly enough as well in that package that was delivered to that pharmacy in potsdam on friday the perpetrator also made reference to a second package which was delivered at the beginning of november and in that case the black male lesser actually disappeared as the package went up in flames when that was opened and so now police are looking into the links between those two packages what do we know about who's sending these packages well police have managed to trace the package back to brandenberg so far the state of brandenburg and of course potsdam where this package was delivered on friday is the capital of that state but beyond that it's very sketchy information at the moment and so they'll also be having a look to see whether some of the packages well which you mentioned from november where that was actually from as well authorities are stressing this was not an

attempted terror attack but in fact a common crime why is this distinction so important well germany is still on high alert at the moment especially since the terror attack here in berlin last year that's just coming up to a year ago now and so really they don't want to cause any unnecessary a lot and of course also local authorities at the state authorities in front of the very wary of using the word terror as well as we've seen before in other cases in germany people are very reluctant to mention that word obviously if something bad has happened on the turf and that. and they all wear it sometimes that the finger is going to be pointed at them and that they've not been doing their job correctly ok so not a case of terrorism people can still go out to the christmas markets and have a great time or if it's kate brady thank you for being with us in the studio well here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle then killed at least six people and i see he killed six people and
