2:03 pm
rebecca ritter's has been standing by for us all day there outside of the scene near the central station in berlin so as we heard rebecca a short boom the police said did you hear you think. that's right sara no way i'm a little disappointed to say that i didn't we were promised possibly. to hear that but i guess we're on the other side of the station from where it happened and it just wasn't able to hear here unfortunately although very happy to say that it went to plan and nothing really dangerous happened in the end so we're back to walk us through that plan because there was a quite a scale and the size of this operation i mean they had to essentially shut down central berlin right. yeah there's been complete chaos in the capital today sarah i mean you know there's an eight hundred metre evacuation zone around
2:04 pm
that site that includes roads hospitals government buildings the economics ministry was shut down one of the main hospitals here that charité had to close parts of some parts of the hospital there also the another hospital that houses people from the military that was also shut down as well as the central intelligence agency here in berlin so you know it's caused a lot of disruption and traffic mayhem as well because of all the roads were closed down because of being diverted the train station was shut down. the main the main train east west train through berlin so anyone trying to get from one side of the city to the other was unable to parts of the underground which shut down basically he was travel chaos and i'm sure people are really relieved that everything's back up and running now just ahead of the weekend talk with us a little bit more about that really because i'm sure it isn't high and i know that you've been speaking with people over there where they're telling you. yeah well i
2:05 pm
mean i was talking to the police obviously they are really relieved that everything went to plan it was a sort of a joint police fire brigade operation the fire brigade were the ones with the actual disposal team but they were working very closely with police i've spoken to them they're obviously very relieved that everything went to plan them in a safe and of course you know people standing by you know hoping to get trains or just wanting to to see what was going to happen are all really relieved of course i'm certainly relieved this building is glass and i was told by a bomb expert that even were to explode you know a thousand thousand kilometer radius around the bomb site would would that all the glass would shatter so you know everyone has very relieved writers and berlin thank you. also in berlin police are investigating a potential hate crime that has stoked fears of rising anti-semitism in germany one of the suspects in that apparent attack has now turned himself into police he was

2:07 pm
students with immigrant backgrounds they want to gain seeing anti semitic attacks specifically muslims. there is a specific group among muslims who are anti semitic is much more sometimes like in the present case they act in a particularly hateful way but i think that we should not stigmatize muslims. rather we should try to convince them to fight against anti-semitism everything else is counterproductive. berlin has one of the largest arab and muslim populations in germany you found mixed reactions among the community. as a human being i'm happy to live with christians and jews and muslims together but the jews in palestine are occupiers. not all jews occupy palestine so what does a boy who was born a jew have to do with it and the minister then at the media we can't trust social media if you have there has to be an investigation and if they find that
2:08 pm
palestinians did this then i reject that as a muslim for the nickel muslim out of the case has left many jews wondering if they're safe in berlin. that's it a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world medics in the gaza strip say that one person has been shot dead by israeli forces that's after the military dropped leaflets urging residents to stay away from the border fence twenty eight palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured by soldiers firing across it in recent weeks. police have fired rubber bullets at protesters in ma he came in south africa presidents who has cut short his trip to london for the commonwealth summit due to these clashes it's the first significant test of his peacemaking skills since he took office back in february and to the united states tammy duckworth has become the first senator to bring her baby to work just

for french president manuel mccoy it was a busy week on tuesday he addressed the european parliament in strong outlining his plans for a reboot of the e.u. then it was on to berlin to seek some support for his plans from germany's chancellor angela merkel boss in berlin and found little and although he was warmly welcomed quite different to the reception though he received on his return to france. french riot police raid a university in paris they're trying to force out dozens of students who shut down the campus for a month in protest over president emanuel micron's higher education reforms. meanwhile radical labor unions have been letting their displeasure be known to call aims to cut some privileges he says cost too much such as for train drivers under his plan new hires will no longer be eligible for early retirement and free train travel told but the president isn't fazed and his ambitions go beyond friends he
2:17 pm
says he wants to save the e.u. and the eurozone use he does it in the city. more solidarity in the currency union when no currency union conserve without convergence element decisions. instruments of compensation and adaptations and see that. many union is part of it. but northern european countries especially germany aren't enthusiastic because micron's plans could end up costing them money. he might be enjoying a warmer reception abroad than at home but emmanuel mccall's reforms are running into resistance wherever he is. tourists love to take something home to remember their trip especially when their vacation coincides with major events and that's why british food producers of commemorative items have great expectations for the next royal wedding in may. when
2:18 pm
britain's prince harry. it's likely to be one of the most watched events of the decade combining royal decorum with hollywood glitter. at least a small contribution to the british economy. tourists come to live the experience and many of them will want to take something home with them. made in china. these workers in central england are busy hand making and decorating thousands of commemorative mugs for the big event. we. enjoy. bridgewater opened her company in one thousand nine hundred five and has produced commemorative articles from the beginning her workers made mugs for queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee and the wedding of harry's brother prince william to kate middleton bridgewater hope
2:19 pm
spiers appreciate the craftsmanship. the effort might well be worth. in the run up to the last royal wedding upwards of three hundred. well we're looking forward to the benefits and has a business update for you in the next for now it's box is it we're talking about sports now. we're going actually now to the english premier league because arsenal have announced that manager arsene wenger will be stepping down from his role and leaving the club at the end of the season the frenchman who has been at arsenal since one thousand nine hundred six is the london clubs most successful manager he has won three league titles including going unbeaten for an entire season and seven
2:20 pm
f.a. cups despite bangor taking arsenal to the champions league for twenty consecutive years his relationship with the club and its fans has become increasingly factitious in recent seasons. so joining me now in the studio to get more on this we have very own press harrington from our sports so cross we talked about that factitious for lation chef yes was this departure unexpected though a little unexpected you have to keep in mind sixty eight years old beside a two year extension that last summer there was speculation that he would in that contract prematurely but no one thought it would come now especially with more season left to play for arsenal specifically in europe in the europa league they have a semifinal clash with atletico madrid and if they win that they can actually long and continue that streak you know of arsenal reaching the champions league so the timing of it all does raise questions but keep in mind he is sixty eight years old so you know his time has come to an end wow what a what
2:21 pm
a legacy he leaves right yeah definitely big legacy you touched on a few issues i mean a winning tradition you know no doubt about that their most recent f.a. cup came in twenty sixteen seventeen so there is that you mention the undefeated season you know but beyond the big shadow he will be cast you know over arsenal he changed the game differently in terms of his mentality he's known as the teacher ok he's a video guy very studious you know so he pretty much revolutionized a lot of football pundits give him credit for revenue. you know the diet of football players the way they train of studying tape you know and things of this nature he was really he really liked attractive football the attacking style of football he thought everyone should enjoy it so these are the things they go into the legacy that he will leave behind he actually even has a bust of himself at the emirates stadium which is a small statue from about waist high so there's that as well and that his name arson arsenal i mean it's like he was born to coach his club so you know it's huge
2:22 pm
but something to be remembered in chairs no that could possibly fail those shoes or on that bus as we're talking about it yeah you know he was known for signing players that turned out to be legends you have patrick vieira is one name you know terry henri but in terms of coaches once he is coach comes to mind tom is too cool or the like i think tom is too cool would be a very good fit you know most recently he was a dog may and you know he left last summer so that be a good fit because he is known to be very studious as well you know patrick terry henri he's the ultimate goal score for arsenal and he's also a coach for the belgian national team he's a candidate as well and then another former player patrick vieira currently coaching in new york city f.c. so there's you know that name in the hat and i actually read before i came in luis enrique read you know an article say that if he was offered he would take it so you know the list is going to be long a lot of people are going to be trying to get that job and filled
2:23 pm
a big shoes left by arson vanga so we have to say but my money is going on thomas to go because he has not signed the contract at p.s.g. which has been the his alleged future team so we have to wait and see absolutely harrington thanks so much ok. let's head to some tennis news now and rafael nadal has eased through the quarterfinals of the monte carlo masters but he won't have to face long time rival novak djokovic in the last eight that's after the former world number one went out to austria's dominic team in three sets six seven six two six three. off to two years struggling with a niggling elbow injury novak djokovic should the top of the screen says he's finally playing pain free and there were glimpses of the man who's won twelve grand slam titles. the state set points in the fast set which the serbian won and it's hydrate. djokovic she lacks tournament sharpness and his opponent
2:24 pm
dominic team is no slouch from crash. five he got a crucial break in the deciding set djokovic she looked outcast and though the fight was there the end product often wasn't and on a forced erik a team victory on his second match point djokovic still has some work to do i think ideally i would want to you know be playing the way i've played for so many years but. you know all the a c. . patience is required and and and trust in the process and believe in myself djokovic choose defeat ended hopes of a quarter final clash with rafael nadal the king of clay made light work of russia's karen had chan off losing three games in the first set and just to win the second no doubt has an excellent record at this tournament he'll need to keep that run going if he's to start roger federer taking him as world number one early another monte carlo title number eleven in total will do i
