champions germany gear up for june's football world cup but the talk of the friendly against spain let's bring you the back end of the action. movie. i'm honored on thank you for joining us of the policeman who offered himself as a hostage during a supermarket shooting spree and so there in france has died in hospital colonel are nobel tom is being hailed for saving law eves he switched places with someone being held captive inside the store paying tribute france's interior minister said tom's heroism bravery and sacrifice would never be forgotten on the twenty six year old gunman shot dead three people before taking hostages in the town of tab police say he was known to them as a potential as

a mist and that he screened fundamentalists oaklands during the attack. terror in rural france the attack took place inside western friends in the town of trade near caucus on already lunchtime. we went to started our shopping and after some time we heard an explosion well several explosions. so i went to see what it was about i saw a man lying on the floor and another person very agitated with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other yelling allahu akbar. the french government says the as the most link is under close investigation police have detained a woman believed to be the gunman's partner the country's president emmanuel macron praised the swift action by the police to. the home go i want to salute their engagement and their professionalism but especially their courage.

particularly the courage of an officer of the gendarmerie who volunteered to take the place of a hostage. more than two hundred forty people have been killed in islamist attacks in france since the beginning of twenty fifteen the government says the terror threat level remains high. detail of your correspondent lisa lewis is following the story for us from paris is that what are the first reactions to this police officer is death. well people here are obviously very sad appalled that he passed away and they're calling him the epic to me of a hero they saying today heroism has a name and a face not because the the french president has also sent out a press release saying the whole nation should pay tribute to this forty five year old man who died as a hero. colonel arnaud as definitely

a hero what else do we know about the officer. well we know that even already during his training time he was known for his exceptional courage apparently he was known to fight till the end and never give up in two thousand and five he was sent to iraq as a parachutist and then afterwards he was part of the team guarding the alley that has the president at the time and also the ministry of environment he was then later on sent to the south of france to be part of an anti terror unit there and late last year apparently he took part ironically so in an exercise that was staging exactly an attack like that one that happened yesterday that is a mass shooting in a supermarket. and what is the latest on the investigation into this attack. well investigators are trying to find out he's links we've

salafist we've radicalized people he was known to be radicalized but rather and more so for his petty crimes so the question is how did he get from one point to the other with whom was he in touch and also how is it that a deal or someone who was known as dina could then become radicalized as the french president said yesterday the threat the terror threat on to france has changed and in its way actually it used to be attacks that were masterminded from iraq or syria but now it's what he calls an dodgin as indigenous and interior attacks are homegrown terrorism so to say so people who are not actually actively in touch with islamic state but who actually just listen to their messages and then come up with their own terror projects and that's obviously a new threat and a secret service is has still have to find out how to best react to these kinds of

attacks ok lisa louis and paris thank you you. thank. to the u.s. now where over politicians in action on gun control will be coming to a head later today more than half a million protesters are expected to demonstrate in the capital washington under the slogan march for our lives and they'll be joined by supporters and hundreds of cities around the world including here in germany the protests will be led by survivors of last month's must occur at a high school in parkland florida they've become powerful advocates for change. a star for each of the seventeen people who lost their lives just over a month after the massacre at marjorie stoneman douglas high the pain here is still raw but the students who survived it didn't miss a beat and demanding stricter gun control many are flying to the u.s. capitol this weekend to take part in a massive protest it will be sarah's first time on a plane she's bringing

a new tattoo that commemorates those she's fighting for several of the dead were her friends while keen. to harm me and i know the coaches well. it's been hard so it's an on guess it's just me being able to say i have seven to windows watching. on the day of the shooting if there had already been a fire drill at school the students also knew that they would need to practice their response to an active shooter on campus one day. so when the shooting happened many people assumed that it was fake that people were shooting blanks and i think people didn't take the precautions like run for their lives as they would if they had known that it's definitely real one of those who will be marching in d.c. on saturday is history teacher greg pittman he recalls the confusion and horror on the day of the shooting and as i was working with the students there are no others teacher came running up to me and said greg greg. these shots these are real shots

and so i went to my quote and so we're looking for a shooter we don't know where this. shooter looks like we're looking for guns and we're all very concerned and concerned with their students and just trying to figure out what to do next the students hid in their classrooms in silence hoping the shooter would pass as they waited other students and videos of gun smoke filling classrooms and their classmates bleeding on the ground. a few weeks after the massacre thanks largely in part to the activism of students here in marjorie stoneman douglas high florida state passed a raft of new gun control measures they include things like raising the minimum age at which she can buy a firearm from eighteen to twenty one however they also include a controversial new provision that would arm some teachers in school but teachers here don't think they should have to decide when to shoot a child even when one has a gun they want to know who will provide them with training and who will pay for it we barely have money for paper we barely have money for just supplies i spent

over probably a thousand dollars a share just on the little things that my cost either because i can't go to the school with it the march for our lives protest in d.c. is their first step in an uphill battle for stricter gun laws but these high schoolers are media savvy and writing a wave of unprecedented national attention for their cause they're going to washington with a clear message for lawmakers you better through the road because they see you don't decide that it's more important point to go represent the three hundred twenty five million as opposed to the soup gun manufacturers we have in this country you are going to be out of a job a florida school reeling from an unthinkable tragedy is taking its fight to the national level to say enough is enough. just some of the other stories making news around the worlds. career who has a new president with martin discovered taking office after his pre-disaster was forced to step down in the wake of a scandal involving a brazilian construction company this is expected to continue the free market

was under scrutiny for its role in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election and the breaks it can pick campaign. of football and world champions germany welcome to spain for a friendly and doesn't door on friday and it was a chance for a coach of the live to test his charges against a fellow title favorite ahead of the world cup in russia in june well joining me now is mark meadows from the detail but you sports team and both teams started off fairly strong didn't they mark they did i mean this was more than your average family friendly the will cook was fast approaching so it was the proper teams out there was pretty intense let's have a look at some of the highlights. no surprises in germany starting eleven as they spotted the new away shirt despite being the hosts but the better start belong to spain and dressin yesterday setting up rhodes eagle marino with a neat from ball and the four would be spain and in the against

a static german defense. the if. germany's first attacking efforts lacked precision. spain remained the more dangerous side just missing shot miss in front of goal was but after half an hour thomas miller did find a gap in the spanish defense something home the equaliser. after the break both teams had their chances in an entertaining affair but it remained own square one one between two teams who underlined that will credential this germany next play brazil in a friendly on tuesday spain and to take out and tina. so mark a one one draw last nice how did you think germany fared i mean it was a decent display without being wonderful it could have actually been worse for germany because spain lived to play this pretty football and pass the ball into the

net every time they went forward they could have been a bit more direct jimmy word more direct question mostly jim defense i think much more was at fault for that spain opener but that was an equaliser from thomas mucha i mean you really lashed out i mean a fantastic goal and he's very much back in form after a poor season last year so yeah it was it was a good workout for us men both work to do and he has never had a good look at his players and he played a strong team how coast is that line up to what we're likely to see at the world cup pretty close i'd say obviously the goalkeeper is one issue because at the moment when your neuer is injured if he proves his fitness he will come back into the team and sort of test again and probably the only older position which is maybe . a little bit of a doubt is a left wing union jack still hasn't played very much this season for a man the right has done wonders for manchester city it brings pace to the team so i think in the tuesday friendly against brazil i think you can live with experiment a bit more won't play his first eleven will basically see if sonic can do that role

and then play around with some of the positions but basically you the players are just playing the sport places and tell us the facts and the other international had and yeah i mean all the heavyweights basically one brazil won three nil against russia the world cup hosts argentina beat italy also italy aren't in the world cup another team wanted the world cup a holland they were beaten by england who are going to the world cup that was one nil to the best games are probably portugal winning against egypt i don't know if you score for egypt it was mohammed the great egyptian struggle and then i don't need to tell you score for portugal two last minute goals from christiane a rebel heart and then the big surprise was france they lost three two at home to colombia having been so that was a bit of a setback for didier deschamps side but they're still one of the favorites for the world cup as well mark wright oh thank you very much for joining us in studio and for your rounder. that's it for me for now and that is your news rock do join us again at the top of the hour or you can also check out our web site that's
