taking place. police say one suspect is dead at the scene and that is that it is unknown rather if another. sheriff's office is warning people to stay far away from the area. corresponding cost and phenomena joins us from washington d.c. custis good to see you so what's the latest that you're hearing from florida was the count of the victims now stands for the eleven injured according to media reports also as you say. a suspect down that at the scene there has been some confusion about the question whether there is a second shooter now it's important to point out that this has not been confirmed

by the police they are looking for a second shooter if there is one but we know that these on these occasions very often people report there's a second shooter maybe mixing up plainclothes policemen who's drawn his gun with another shooter and so they have to sort this out there are lots of police on the ground trying to search the area and this happened at a video games bar a very popular nightlife district of jacksonville florida. and do we know any further details cost and i know that it's still very early days but any details at all about the suspect in this case. we don't have any official confirmation of the u.s. use channels here fox news claims that one of the reporters going to hold of one of the gamers who were at the scene when this happens and according to these reports.

was a disgruntled player a player who had lost in one of the games and mats went outside and came in again and shot at people but again this is just one souls we have to be very careful here and basically have to wait for official information coming from the local sheriff's department right cost and i understand that we actually have an eyewitness from the scene and we just like to listen to what he saw so what i've seen is just i've i was just seeing officers roll by as i was on my way over i just left the hotel i think honestly about ten minutes before the shots happened there's a clip circulating around which you can hear the gunshots and it's really it's. probably not as disturbing as it is hearing it than it is in person but i saw. so

the eyewitness describing moments leading to the shooting and mediately after and of course this happened at a video game autonomy and cost and what more can you tell us about where exactly this event and situation unfolded. this is a very popular the most popular district of sun for jacksonville an area called the landing it situated between the high rise buildings of downtown and the sound john's river who is running towards the atlantic there and there's a river walk there's lots of bars and cafes entertainment complexes so this is a place where a lot of people go to and again we don't know yet whether this shooting was directly connected to the video game solomons but even if the shooter just was looking for a place where a lot of people gather the landing in jacksonville is a very good place to go if you want to wreak havoc. cost and phenomena bring us the

very latest in washington thank you. german chancellor i'm going to macko has one day against damaging fundamental democratic institutions such as a free press and an independent judiciary she made the comments in a wide ranging interview with a german public broadcaster that also touched on climate issues and foreign policy when asked about the relations with the u.s. she reiterated comments she had made in the past that our gemini needs to take on more responsibility and forge stronger european alliances including in matters that tending to its own nature. but some analysis of the german chancellor as interviewer now joined in the studio by correspondent kate brady cage's good to have you here so i want to begin first by listening to just a little bit of what the chaps less said about democracy during that interview and we'll get back to. the mccarty's media democracy is more than just someone when good majority democracy also means protecting minorities freedom of the press the

ability to assemble freely and independent courts the then things that were not only dependents of the country's institutions is no longer preserved the democracy itself is no longer complete. so kate back to the chancellor very much stressing the need to uphold democratic principles why is this coming up now well this really has come off the back of the few recent events of course when it comes to upholding respecting the decisions made by independent institutions that's come off several deportations which have taken place recently despite administrative courts ruling that those deportation shouldn't in fact take place and so there is still a debate going on as to how these mistakes can be avoided in the future in germany at the moment and then at the same time you have this question about the freedom of press here in germany and that came of the back of again another ongoing debate

after a t.v. crew was actually questioned by police when they were filming at a far right rally and it turned out that of course the media outlet wasn't in fact breaking any laws so it was merkel reiterated this again saying that a poll that the individual independence of these institutions of the freedom of the press is really an integrity part of making sure that democracy is also upheld in germany something else that also came up which i thought was interesting she was asked whether she still views herself as a climate chancellor has to live up to that title. it's questionable whether she ever lived up to that title but it's no secret the german government has already said that it's not going to meet its twenty twenty climate goals germany has already received some warnings from the e.u. over air quality and pollution in germany but it seems maybe this heat wave that we've had here in germany like many parts of europe this summer could now be

a wake up call that germany's now experiencing firsthand the effects of climate change with drought and forest fires and also bad harvests crumbling infrastructure so this is this heat wave could now be that wake up call for handling climate change in germany another thing that's heating up is a conversation with been governing coalition about pension reform which also featured very heavily in this interview obviously it's not the first coalition dispute that we're seeing in recent days can this. can these two convince coalition somehow end up on the same page in the same voice but it was always going to be difficult it took a good six months for this coalition to even come about and it was social issues such like this with pensions and social welfare work laws that really made the two sides struggle in coming together and forging that coalition earlier in the gear so it is going likely to see more disputes like this coming over the

next legislative period that we're currently in of course we specially when it comes to social issues that are always going to be miles apart when it comes to conservatives and the social democrats particularly right now when both sides of this coalition are also trying to reinvent themselves already for the next election in twenty twenty one brady thank you for your analysis. time now for some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. senator john mccain has died at the age of eighty one after a year long struggle with brain cancer he had a distinguished military and political career mccain was shot down during the vietnam war and held captive more than five years and then served as a u.s. senator for more than thirty years and made to feel for the presidency. so francis has said mass to huge a two huge crowd on the last day of his visit to ireland earlier here asked for forgiveness for the catholic church in its sex abuse scandals he said it had to
