made this statement a short time ago. the suspects identity has now been established he is a thirty four year old german citizen there are currently no indications that he has become politically radicalized in any way yet the actor and. correspondent mark zandi joins us now from welcome back a police searching for any other suspects. well as of now there's no indication that there was any other suspect some there's a lot of speculation and investigators of this actually started questioning. vick victims of witnesses and the suspect himself was being held there will be brought in front of a judge tomorrow. on what do we know about the people who were injured. we

know for sure that at least ten people were injured about six were stabbed by them by the perpetrator and some others got injured while trying to get off the bus in a panic and the bus driver himself was also attacked by this suspect while he was trying to put out a fire that the the bad actually he try to set his backpack alight on the bus before committing these violent crimes ok so god's death have you been able to build a sort of sequence of events a joke is true what actually happened on the bus. so this man actually started trying to set his backpack on fire he had a combust of agent in there and witnesses recall smoke coming out of the back of the bus rather than have pulled over and pulled out a fire extinguisher walk to the back of the bus and try to put out of the fire when he was then attacked by the perpetrator most likely with his fists as the bus driver recalls then this man pulled out

a knife and started stabbing people outside of the bus since the bus sort of managed to open the doors before he would move to the back of the bus to put out the fire and he later was then overpowered by by passengers and police were able to arrest him promptly after that i was sort of police presence is that in the back now. well right now behind me as you can see it's pretty deserted this is actually the scene of the crime but since this bus also was headed to taba minda a seaside resort a part of the back where there are no regatta is taking place there is a very large police presence in libya in the city center itself and also at the seaside resort here and i on my way to this location here also experience and i saw many police and there will be thousands of people visiting this regatta tonight and tomorrow and through the through the following weekend and the police presence is

definitely high. in the back thank you sir. under the man who has signed off for the summit with an annual press conference in berlin speaking after a rollercoaster start to have for the german chancellor denied rumors that she might step down before the end of the current parliament she also tackled some of the major issues confronting her fragile coalition government not least how to deal with the whole trumps america and how to solve europe's migration crisis. i'm going to michael set aside one and a half hours to talk with the media before her official summer holidays began it's been a turbulent political year for the chancellor and many have wondered whether it would spell her downfall but of merkel was in so need of a holiday it didn't show many of the questions posed by the press centered on donald trump and whether america could understand why he singled out germany for criticism. i took note it. i

didn't look for motivating factors. macro said she would rather deal with the issue rationally. trans outrage at germany's trade surplus with the us so only concerned traded goods she said. in the audience lesson that if we add services to that and the profits transferred back to the us when you look at the trade balance then it looks quite different. then you see there is a balance and that it's slightly tipped in favor of the us. michael went on to say that in the future europe will not be able to rely on the u.s. to be the world's peacekeeper she said that was legitimate and that europe had to solve its own regional conflicts including military wants the chancellor also said she had no problem with trump meeting with president putin and russia has been under international sanctions sense of a mixed crimea in two thousand and fourteen. even though. i think it has to become

normal again for u.s. presidents to meet with russian presidents. after all ninety percent of the world's nuclear arsenal is held by these two countries. on migration mackle said she remains concerned about how the issue has divided europe. it's yeah. it's quite obvious that this puts under a lot of pressure. the fact this issue affects every e.u. member state means of course that it will take longer to solve this it shows how divided we are over the issue. but i believe finding a common solution for migration is crucial to the future of the european union. not only in europe and recent weeks migration policy has exposed to visions that threaten to break apart her governing coalition. but at friday's press conference

she showed no sign of being troubled missing only that she looked forward to a few days' rest. of the e.u. is chief breaks it negotiating has given a cautious welcome to new british proposals regarding its future relationship with europe michelle bodies the proposals contained useful elements of provide the basis for negotiations but also create some elements in the white paper which they have to teresa mayes government in disarray. london likes to cultivate an image of cool majesty but that's not what brussels and many officials from the european union perceive. they see a british government that still hasn't figured out how it intends to lead the e.u. in an orderly fashion. in the church side is i don't think this current confusion in britain is very helpful with. its side life this time is slipping away we're all hoping that it's difficult undertaking can be brought to

a half way sensible for them to get up close. the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland poses a particular challenge the british government reject introducing border controls there and rules out customs controls between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. but there must be a hard border somewhere if britain leaves the e.u. customs union northern ireland would be represented in trade negotiations under the world trade organization and tariffs by the european commission not its own national government something i will never accept and i believe no british prime minister could ever accept the e.u.'s top brags that negotiator said he welcomes britain's concrete economic proposals but michel ban you stop short of optimism it is also our responsibility to be prepared for all scenarios including. ireland is already in preparation mode with online advisory checklists to help its companies navigate the possible impacts of gregg's it. let's take
