reacting with a great deal of sadness obviously they're appalled that this man passed away overnight they called him they're calling him the epitome of a hero and saying that today harrison has a name and a face and one of the people speaking out today was his brother cedric who was talking to francis r.t.l. radio. on he's gone as a hero i think what he did goes beyond the commitment to his job beyond values he gave his life for someone else for a stranger. it's not even for someone from his family he gave his life for strangers. he was well aware he had almost no chance. he was very aware of what he was doing. his professional reflexes using his mobile phone. i think if we don't describe him as a hero i don't know what you need to do to be

a hero but he did what needed to be done and thanks to him many lives were saved. was. the moving words of cedric beltran was a brother of the policeman who took place which took the place rather of the last remaining hostage speaking on french radio salissa back to you what more do we know about the nobel training. well we know that he was forty five years old i was married didn't have any children he was known for his bravery really from very early on from when he was actually doing his police training people who are saying he is someone who will never back down will fight until the end in two thousand and five he was sent to iraq as a parachutist and afterwards received a military medal for that and after that he was actually attached to the ne the palace and was c'mon the in the republican guard that is guarding the elysee palace and then obviously about last year late last year according to local press

reports he was participating in an exercise and that was staging an attack just like happened yesterday actually as an attack on a supermarket now following that attack a minor was arrested this morning what's the latest on the investigation. we know that this seventeen year old apparently was a friend of his the police also yesterday arrested at the attack as part not we don't really know how he was in touch with the with the so to say radicalized people in the area to police trying to find out he's more about his ling's with the people there but also with that possibly people in syria and iraq and now the french president in mcallen yes it is said that the threat to france had changed in its nature whereas before hand attacks would be mastermind it from a group from countries like iraq iraq and syria nowadays there was this homegrown terrorism so the police had to deal with people who had never left france to get

radicalized who got radicalized here in france and as staging attacks and that's obviously a lot more difficult to detect and the police will have to adapt this to this new kind of threat. the reporting for us from paris that's a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a car bomb has exploded in the north an egyptian city of alexandria killing at least one person the targets was reportedly a convoy carrying the such a security chief there talk comes just two days before egypt's presidential election no group has yet claimed responsibility. british regulators have raided the london offices of data from cambridge analytical they're investigating whether the company improperly used data from from some fifty million facebook uses to talk of voters with political messages the firm is under scrutiny for its role in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election and the birds it's coming. it crossed over to the u.s.

now where anger over politicians inaction on gun control is coming to a head this is live footage that you're seeing now just gathering for a demonstration in the capital washington d.c. under the slogan march for all of the lives the protesters will be joined by supporters in hundreds of cities around the world including right here in germany and in a moment we'll cross over live to our correspondent on the ground but first let's have a look at this report by our reporter care richardson who met with survivors of last month's mass shooting at a high school in auckland florida. 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. harming coaches and. it's been hard so it's i mean i guess it's just me being able to say i have seventy and was walking. on the day of the shooting if there had already been a fire drill at school the students also knew that they would 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 and others teacher came running up to me and said greg greg. these shots these are real shots and so i went there marquardt and so we're looking for a shooter we don't know where the 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 at marjorie stoneman douglas high florida state passed a raft of new gun control measures they include things like raising the minimum age at which you 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 and we barely have money for paper we barely have money for just supplies i spent over probably a thousand dollars a share just on little things that mike last year 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 if you don't decide that it's more important point to go represent the three hundred twenty five million as opposed to the super 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. for more on this we're joined by correspondent alexandra phenomena who is in washington alexandra so this could become an event that's even larger than the women's march in twenty seventeen what's the atmosphere there like. it's very crowded as you can see behind me and around me more and more people are arriving

here behind the stage at pennsylvania avenue there are high school students college students parents with their kids they told me there are very concerned about their kids' safety as school and students told me that they feel energized and hopeful that they really can make a difference and a long one here there are many different activist groups here like live smatter groups also people who participated in the women's march very long time ago so they feel very strong alexander we're just seeing life pictures from the odds but of course the gun control debate has been ongoing for years except the movement seems to be gaining momentum now why is the. e.u. rights we've seen it before and just remember at the center who shooting worth twenty first graders were killed but a gun control activist told me that they think that it's difference now that that's

their moment and they points toward the park learned from frawley that for all the florida were able to achieve so far they are very active on social media they have a good presence on t.v. networks they are particular they are authentic and they inspire people now the numbers missing on our screen from the people there very difficult to ignore have we heard any reactions from government officials over this. we you know. no makers here on capitol hill day met with this to you did they listen to them but soem far nothing really or know much really happens congress votes it's to strengthen background checks so for gun buyers this bill fell short of extending the background checks and it's rather unlikely at the moment that

there is a majority among the lawmakers to raise for example the minimum age for guy bombers or to ban assault weapons and that is something that students you demands now given the position that you've just told us about the lawmakers what's next then for the students and for all those people who've turned out for the march today. well first of all of course this march today they also told me that they don't want to give up they want to keep up the pressure on the lawmakers to act now and there will be more marches and more walk outs one of them is playing in april so the buffalo for this continues our correspondent alex underfund nominee in washington thank you. and just a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you a police line hailed as a hero for taking the place of a hostage during

a french supermarket shooting. the brother of a nobel trump says the officer gave his life to save strangers. well that's on the solemn all coming in exactly forty five minutes to do stay tuned thank you for watching. those fans in germany is a strong country. we have achieved so much we can do this and do something hindu something we must overcome it. going where it's uncomfortable global news that matters w made for mornings.
