. went on to trees authority swift success in tracking down the mill bombing suspects will get the latest from our correspondent. dan. thank you so much for your company everyone us justice officials have confirmed that a man in custody is being charged on five counts in connection with a dozen letter bombs sent to prominent democrats fifty six year old cesar as a florida resident with a criminal record was tracked down with the help of fingerprints the f.b.i. is investigating whether other people may have been involved in the plot and warns that potentially dangerous packages could still be in the postal system. a nationwide manhunt comes to a head at a florida parking lot moments after arresting fifty six. officers turn their

attention to this white van it is believed to belong to the. crucial evidence. the f.b.i. wouldn't comment on but said the improvised explosives were genuine. hoax devices. as for a moment on the amazing work. based on their initial analysis they uncovered a latent fingerprint from one of the containing an i.e.d. that had been sent to congresswoman maxine waters we have confirmed this fingerprint is that. the. more suspicious packages were. a bomb squad official was seen carrying a device from a post office in new york city it was the twelfth. this

week. today's targets were u.s. . and former director of national intelligence james clapper among the rest the greats in the good of democratic politics the clintons former president barack obama his vice president joe biden. all of those targeted spoken critics of president donald trump. the president addressed the bombing campaign in remarks at the white house are of. these terrorizing acts despicable and have no place in our country. i've instructed authorities to spare no resource or expense in finding those responsible and bringing them to swift and certain justice. we will prosecute them him or her whoever it may be to the fullest

extent of the law. levy love him but his critics believe him for giving rise to a placement of political polarization. as the suspects van was taken for further analysis high winds offered a closer look at a vehicle in belize and with trump posters and far right paraphernalia investigators know trying to establish if this week of terror is the work of one man acting alone or with help and let's get you more on this developing story we did have a correspondent my a shooter in washington for the very latest moments ago officials gave an update on the arrest of this suspect what more did you learn. well for one we learned that if they were in fact treating this as terrorism there were several terrorism related divisions of these various law enforcement and intelligence

agencies that were working on this and also we learned that. we still don't know what the motive was the f.b.i. has explicitly said we don't know what was pushing this guy to send out these packages bombs and we also know that the f.b.i. were not treating these as hoax bombs they believe that they were actually meant to detonate now these devices are very small if you were holding one you would prosecute kill or injure you but they were not big enough to bring down an entire building or an entire block so the f.b.i. was taking this seriously treating it as terrorism and it was interesting to note the show of unity that these law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies had at this press conferences with jeff sessions the attorney general heading it off saying that this is a law and order administration and this is a lesson to anyone of any political persuasion that we will pursue you and prosecute you within the fullest extent of the law. do we know going by the

evidence that the law enforcement has at the moment where there are the suspect acted alone. so u.s. official has said they are not ruling out the possibility that there were other people involved in this so though we should again emphasize right now this is the only person who has been arrested and charged in this case so far we do also know that law enforcement very quickly zoomed in on this mail sorting facility north of miami in florida as possibly the origin place of these packets but we also know that at least one of them was delivered by hand to the c.n.n. offices in new york city and is believed that the suspect. has some connections with new york city as well so that is still an open end of the investigation the f.b.i. is still looking into it for now there's only been one person who has been allegedly related to this attack now tourney general or jeff sessions or was why the alleged

bomber targeted democrats and he answered i don't know he appeared to be partisan how significant an admission was that from the nation's top investigator. you know this was a pretty interesting twist especially given that as we've mentioned these midterm elections are coming up very very soon and this is really thrown a wrench in to the campaigns that have been going out it was very clear that this man was partisan of some sort first in the because of deliberate targeting of high profile democratic politicians and operatives and then when we saw the van that this man allegedly owns that is just plastered with pro trump an anti-democratic an anti media type bumper stickers it does in fact look like that this man is very much a trump supporter but is also the republicans coming out and meeting this and also

emphasizing that they are the law and order administration talking about how quickly they were able to to bring this man into custody is going to become a real selling point for the republicans to say look how quickly we were able to get this under control and they will be able to use that spin future campaigns the next few days. of reporting from washington d.c. thank you very much and next i want to take you to new york city to a correspondent who has son who is in the back or at least it was very yesterday. even more packages and bomb scares today where you are. that's right live today having men midtown manhattan in front of a sorting facility here you can probably see it behind me there is of course still press and there's still a police presence but what happened early this morning was an employee discovered a package that looked very similar to the packages that were discovered at other mail sorting facilities and similar to the ones that were delivered to c.n.n.

a couple of days ago they alerted a supervisor the bomb squad was brought in the extract of the device and it's now been transported to a facility in the bronx so it's in the hands of the f.b.i. for investigation but of course great relief here in town that happens that a suspect is in custody the great relief where you are but to f.b.i. director christopher reeve said during the press conference that today's arrest does not mean we are all out of the woods that there may be more packages in transit now what are some of the measures law enforcement are taking to ensure public safety. so as you just mentioned besides the fact there could potentially be packages already in the mail system before he was arrested if it was in fact him that sent all of these packages as we have to remember you know potentially been working with other people it might not be a situation where he did all of this as a lone individual in terms of security from home will mention right away after the

packages delivered to the time warner center that security measures would be doubled that and critical infrastructures they would also be ramped up and that the state police is working with the secret service and other federal agencies in op state new york authorities are also on high alert we have to remember that's where a package was headed before it was intercepted by the secret service to the clinton home in westchester county and there's also been a visible police presence but we also have to remember besides the officers and the officials that we see in uniform there are potentially also playing well officials around. we heard donald trump president donald trump earlier saying there's no place for political violence in america do you think that that will placate his critics many of whom are in new york city where you are. yeah i think it's the pattern that we're seeing that my also mentioned in terms of the intended recipients they're all critics of the president or people or organizations such as

c.n.n. that the president has directly lashed out at he did come out the day after the package was received by c.n.n. and say said you know the country needs to be unified we also have to take a look at the tweets that he sent happy because he blamed the mainstream media for the anger and society he also directly pointed at c.n.n. so despite the fact that you mean those initial comments there have been tweets and comments that came afterwards that directly oppose what perhaps the american public is generally used to from hearing from an american president in terms of what happens when there is an uncertain situation are trying to be they want that commander in chief to be a unifying figure and his critics will now say well he hasn't necessarily done that aren't you had a son that reporting from new york city thank you so much. back here in germany where the police of arrested eight men on suspicion of raping an eighteen year old woman in the southern western city of five book seven syrians aged between nineteen and twenty nine and

a twenty five year old german are in custody authorities are not ruling out the possibility of more suspects involved in the october fourteenth assault. and they're with me here in the studio is our political correspondent maximillian kosha good to talk about this horrifying incident what more have you learned talking to authorities well as you have learned the investigation is still ongoing at the moment there's eight suspect currently held in cost city and they have been known to police before authorities have not come forward with the information on the assault which happened already two weeks ago because this is an ongoing investigation and they wanted to not have that investigation being compromised so this is why we just have if been informed about this situation right now do we know what happened with the what police think has happened on that fateful night well what we currently know is that the alleged victim has been visiting

a disco take in freiburg which is one of the largest city in the south of germany and that she has been handled a drink and after that drink has been sort of defenseless there is still the ongoing investigation and the police is also very much to not put in an a for this sort of allegations an ongoing investigation but nonetheless very horrifying the details that have come out. this is not good i think we can agree on that would have the reactions been so far here in germany well the one extreme or extraordinary thing about this is that this is not the first time a case like this in firebug has become the attention of media and off the public here in germany only this march that has been the case off young africa. and refugee who has been convicted of murder for a case that happened two years ago and fry book and the mayor of freiburg has come forward now and instead of course acts like these violence against women and crimes like these of course there's no tolerance in this country and especially in his

town but he's also asked to remind the public to be careful about like not jumping to conclusions not being prejudiced against a lot of refugees who are living in this country and who abiding the law and want to live a peaceful life right next leon kosik thank you so much we used to fish. and now i'd like to bring you up to speed with some of the other stories making news around the world. dozens of migrants including families with young children are continuing to camp near bosnia's border would go away show they're looking to go for a way into the european union after authorities closed previous balkan routes to western europe there is a heavy police presence on the site after several people including officers were injured in clashes earlier in the week. an earthquake close to the greek island of cycling thought would has rattled western greece and damaged

stephen is here with your business headlines it's right today we're talking about u.s. growth right today actually we're talking about brazil right now as brazil prepares for a weekend runoff vote its economy is widely viewed as a disaster one problem is the pension system one of the most generous and therefore most expensive retirement programs in the world brazil can't afford it now and it's about to get worse as ophelia harmes a rooty reports. rush hour in sao paolo in brazil is big a city many people work far more than eight hours per day some start at a very early age so they can retire at fifty five and then continue to earn seventy percent of their final salary for the rest of their lives for decades that's been the norm in brazil. it's what suze that was hoping for after working as a teacher for more than thirty years an accident before retirement led to her

salary being cut now the sixty three year old gets less than the minimum wage and now it. it's inhumane to have to live on a minimum salary everything is getting more expensive with inflation and all that and people keep on getting a salary which now i can live on happiness so it's very difficult. with less than two hundred dollars a month she can barely afford more than her rent and although she bolsters her income by selling handicrafts she feels desperate about the future. daily they have no idea what to do i have faith in god that he will open up doors for me but i really don't know it's very. you know they have they. moved into this. life expectancy is increasing in the country it's a demographic change that's leading to fewer younger workers supporting more retirees in addition to the recent years of limited or negative growth and the very

generous pensions granted to the public employees residents rapidly heading to a point where it was no longer be able to meet its pension obligations in twenty seventeen the government ran up a deficit of more than sixty billion dollars in order to cover pensions despite this unsustainability an overhaul of the pension system is politically difficult to achieve. but usually their government and. remembers the problem only when there is no crash of a loved one. and not because you need to have a good sees things in order to people feel more secure and more comfortable we were in season. and so all the time that the cry the reform always the scene this sense of cutting spending hours not being provided in a better therapy. the issue of pension reform is complex and controversial and

neither of the presidential candidates facing off in this sunday's election runoff have clearly addressed it however it's one of the most urgent challenges the newly elected congress will face in twenty nineteen. now brazil's pensioners one doubted lee be pleased to hear that the world's billionaires became twenty percent richer in two thousand and seventeen and a report by swiss bank u.b.s. and auditor pricewaterhouse coopers says there are more of them than ever before that is more than two thousand billionaires around the globe together they're worth they're worth up to eight point nine trillion dollars now the u.s. has the greatest concentration of wealth held by billionaires but china is missing them faster with two new billionaires every week according to the report. now the u.s. growth the u.s. economy growing more than expected in the third quarter that's thanks to the strongest consumer spending in nearly four years the commerce department said gross

domestic product or the total values of good goods and services produced increased by three and a half percent compared to a year earlier the sharp rise of consumer spending helps offset a big drop in trade companies spend more to increase their inventories which also helped to bolster growth analysts are expecting the economy to expand by around three percent this year. and we're joined now by our financial correspondent in new york yes quarter another quarter of solid growth in the us donald trump is looking like the business friendly president that he advertise themselves to be and if we look at the entire year if we're really going to read three percent of growth we haven't seen anything like that since two thousand and five so in thirteen years i mean first of all we shouldn't forget that us president inherited a pretty decent economy the economic recovery was already underway for six seven

years before. took office what does help is there to be almost a full employment in the united states so the labor market looks pretty solid and then on top of it earlier this year donald trump and his administration fired this huge tax cuts and that was another incentive for the u.s. economy. good point yes the tax cut being credited with a lot of this growth but at the same time there must be a limit to what it can accomplish what are you hearing there. well i mean one of the problems is when you look at the u.s. corporations for example the tax cuts for companies got cut from thirty five to twenty one percent the big question is what those corporations are doing with that money and a lot of this money was not spend for investments but for higher dividends for

mergers and acquisitions for huge buybacks of their own share so that was good for wall street that was good for investors but not necessarily for the entire country and what we also shouldn't forget is well this money is missing in washington sold takes guts means that death in the united states that's increasing if i'm not mistaken just in the last year. the u.s. government had to pay about six hundred billion dollars just for interest on their debts so that could actually be a problem if we're looking ahead to the future that that is increasing quite a bit so a double edged sword with these tax cuts yes quarter there for us in new york against thank you. for now back live with more news thank you so much for a turkish court has sentenced a german man to six years in prison on terrorist charges patrick creek or was arrested on the turkish syrian border in march prosecutors accused

a twenty nine year old of being a member of a kurdish militia group known as the white p.j. a group which ankara classifies as terrorist. patrick is the twenty nine year old carpenter from the southern german town of geese he claims he was just a tourist hiking near the syrian border it's an area in which the turkish military is fighting a war against kurdish militia groups this much is known on the sixth of march this year caica traveled by plane from germany to ghazi and type in turkey on the thirteenth he boarded a bus to the town of news i've been the next day turkish security forces arrested him in the town of sea looking for security police also say that i had written an e-mail offering his services as a fighter to the syrian kurdish militia y.p. gene caica admitted writing the email but claims not to have known that turkey considers the y p g a terrorist organization the news comes just as the german economy minister peter is in turkey trying to improve relations between the two

countries the focus of the visit is on business deals but i would my i will also raise the issue of german nationals and turkish presence he knew of the case i admired told german media on friday and the government would closely monitor the verdict of the german foreign ministry in berlin was tightlipped. this is the decision of the turkish traditionally and of course our embassy is in contact with mr caica. we assume that he will file an appeal under turkish law with the help of his took his legal counsel. earlier this week the foreign ministry stepped up its travel warning for german nationals going to turkey since the failed coup d'etat in two thousand and sixteen the turkish government has imprisoned thousands of critics among them were several german nationals including journalist denis you jail and michelle little both have since been released but at

least five germans including caica are still in prison in turkey. after their midweek when i guess that lazika madrid where was your dortmund are back in action all saturday well this time they're up against one of the surprise teams of the season her to berlin but the black and yellows aren't worried after a run of performances that has seen them strengthen their place at the top of the wonderfully. it's happy days in dortmund and for good reason they've had a blinding start to the season so far they lost two matches for neil wins against stick out in the bundesliga that led to her madrid in the champions league. is good for them through all kinds. there is no reason for us to let all the praise we're getting get to our heads. and what we've achieved so far is for nothing other than hard work. it looks like it's going to have to do with out super sub par

calcutta but don't have to worry about where the girls come from fourteen players have scored the black and yellow twenty seven goals so far this season it's just their defense that's a little insecurity times the last time they played at home in the league they conceded three goals defensive frailties like that can't happen again against berlin. to munch off this is a very very good team this season it's a completely different game. riding a wave of euphoria of the road they've beaten by in and second place this season but that was a home now they want to get a result table toppers dortmund. under an outstanding form they've brimming with confidence and averaging four goals a game. it's a different game this weekend we always perform well and the numbers do it again.

thank you dormant however have other ideas they want to extend their own pieces start to the season ten nine games thank you. and a reminder of our main headlines this hour u.s. officials confirm that a suspect is in custody and facing federal charges over a series of letter bombs sent a prominent democrats cesar as a florida resident with a criminal record were stranded down with the help of fingerprints as and donald trump vowed not to let the little violence take hold in the united states. brock i'll see you in just a moment. on .
