the remaining blazes the area affected is an army training site near the city of mecca and it totals eight hundred hectares one thousand three hundred emergency personnel are working hard to contain the blaze to be on the safe side nearby residents were told to prepare for a possible evacuation this year humvee or we didn't have flying sparks yet so far we've been getting off lightly over that's on the phone and i hope it stays this way we don't want to evacuate and we also don't want to see houses burning was on the wildfire was triggered by german army rocket test in the beginning of september the german military has been subject to fierce criticism for not dealing with the fire immediately there are also doubts whether the rocket test was performed correctly. on friday defense minister whose laffan deadline apologized to citizens affected by the blaze given didn't we will find the cause of the fire especially regarding the question whether regulations were not observed or

misinterpreted there will be an investigation and the results are of course going to be published president of. the defense minister is visiting the area today federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into negligent also and they've already searched the test site and have confiscated documents. well did a correspondent on a regular visit in the town of methane where the emergency response is being coordinated down a fire as we just heard was sparked by army testing rockets i mean how could something like this even happen. well this is the question everyone is now asking rebecca and this is also why the public prosecutor's office in the nearby city of new book has opened an investigation of potential negligent arson the german defense minister ursula lyon as we've heard is visiting the area right now as we speak and she will definitely be asked to give some answers as her how come

to put in despair the german military under her leadership is able to commit such mistakes or is to be responsible for such incidents without the ability to properly take care of that so a lot of difficult questions coming from the residents of this area and local authorities but solutions and answers yet to be given. just give us a sense of the scale of this. i mean is it under control of authorities got it under control well we're now talking about roughly eight hundred hectares of more land being burned just to give you some proportion this is roughly one thousand football fields now the fire is under control in the sense that it's no longer spreading and further however it's also far from being over what we know is that or the key word everyone is talking about at the moment is the weather yesterday this area saw some thunderstorms and contrary to what people may think the rain is definitely not enough to extinguish the fire and the strong winds

coming with this storm are potentially or potential to reignite fires in other areas so again remains to be seen just exactly how this thing will be extinguished under control yes but say not yet and you've been speaking to some local residents there how if i reacting to this file. yes yes exactly well they are i guess understandably very angry they're asking two main questions first what we're all talking about is ha how come how is this possible that such an axis i was even approved under such dry conditions and hot weather the germany seeing in the past few weeks even months but more importantly how could this be that the bundeswehr the german military has more than enough abilities and needs to start such fire but seemingly not enough ways to handle it i was talking earlier to a health care presented from the city of methane here and he told me that health

wise pollution wise it doesn't seem likely that an evacuation would take place but many residents here told me to do through the thick air and this such a bad smell that their experience some of them experiencing some of them even have children with asthma they are actually considering to go away to evacuate themselves regardless of whether or not an official request or official order is given. done a reggae of in the town germantown of weapon thank you. in iran at least twenty four people are dead and twenty others injured after a gunman opened fire at a military parade it happened in the city of near iran's border with iraq during a ceremony marking the anniversary of the start of the iran iraq war in the one nine hundred eighty s. state media is reporting that dignitaries and spectators were among those targeted iran's revolutionary guard is reportedly blamed a quote terrorist group affiliated with saudi arabia for the attack but no one has

claimed responsibility. german chancellor angela merkel is holding talks with her coalition partners to try to avert a political crisis it centers on the decision to remove hans-georg mohsen as head of the country's domestic intelligence agency he was forced out after he made controversial comments about foreign violence in the east in german city of chemists last month but his promotion to a higher paid job in the interior ministry has particularly angered medical's coalition partners the social democrats. well for more i'm joined by a political correspondent fabien from the mark he's here with us now live in. tell us if the interior minister. from coal sister party the c.s.u. doesn't agree to another solution from awesome what's likely to happen first of all i believe that he will agree to some kind of a new solution because he has already said that he's willing to talk and meet with

me and with the social democrats so he wouldn't have said that if there's no solution thinkable the question is what kind of a solution can they find it would certainly have to be a solution but won't earn more money than before because that was one of the big criticisms in this first solution so they have to find some kind of a post where he earns basically the same amount of money or less and has a different field of work but if they couldn't find a solution at all then. the social democrats would be the big losers in this whole thing but they couldn't let the government collapse as opposed to they have already once agreed to this come from a compromise that was found so far right and these renegotiations were sparked by the head of the social democrat saying that she and the other heads of the parties made a mistake by promoting monson but what does that say about the public outcry towards this the public outcry is enormous in germany we had huge debate see there was

a lot of anger and people who are absolutely outraged they couldn't believe how the petitions are so much out of touch with the public how they can really think of a solution where someone who should be punished at the end of the day gets promoted but there was also a lot of pressure from the within the social democratic party there are social democrats who won two elections in the local level that made a lot of pressure there were those who were already skeptical with being in a grand coalition with marriage in the first place and they basically forced. the head of the social democrats to write this letter and to renegotiate the deal. and there's a new poll out that suggest that the for the first time the. forwarded to second place ahead of the social democrats what do you make of that well that was that's always in the background those great numbers for the if the the polling situation because all the parties know particularly the social democrats if they would let a coalition collapse now in fresh elections the a if he could be the biggest winner

so in a way that makes the social democrats. the hands are tied for them they wouldn't want to risk fresh elections. thanks very much. now to some other stories making news around the world pope francis has touched down in lithuania as he makes the first papal visit to the balkan states in nearly twenty five years he was greeted upon arrival by the country's president. they he'll celebrate mass and then visit a form of soviet k.g.b. prison where many women sentenced to hard labor. have you seen any of the u.s. deputy attorney general wrote rosenstein has denied a new york times report he discussed invoking a constitutional clause to oust u.s. president on will trump the allegations against rosenstein could add fuel to trump's longstanding claims that his law enforcement agencies biased against him.

shoulders performances have been less than impressive their attack lacked ideas their defense was shaky but to just go believes tactically they're silent on the squad it just needs to make some small adjustments i lost fear and pressure shouldn't weigh us down we're looking forward to the game against biron in front of the home crowd it was time for. munich travel to go on the back of a champions league victory if childhood loses yet again the home front many grow angry and it's you know it's a waste of energy to think about things you can't influence at the end of every training session every single day and after each game the coaches and players need to look at themselves in the mirror you know we need to say we've done everything we can and we have the feeling that we have. the aim is to beat barnes but it may be a tall order the last time shall come out of the victory against the current champions on home turf was almost eighty years ago. you're watching live from the
