a hate crime they have not said that that the motive for this crime could be enticing medic motives but it seems fairly clear from the suspect's background and the attack itself that they suspect that this was an anti-semitic attack michael we heard a pitts it's beneficial talk about how deeply moved he was by what he witnessed what do we know about how the attack unfolded what do you know about the victims. well the attack apparently occurred this morning when the suspect walked into the synagogue and opened fire and of course on this shot they there are a lot of people in the synagogue for these for these services and he opened fire and killed eleven people as he tried to retreat and he was confronted by police and a gun fight ensued and. the suspect later then. gave himself up to

police and he's now in custody. officials have not really said much about about the victims but they have said that there is no that there are no children among among the victims which is important because that the reports earlier that that there was a baby naming ceremony happening at that synagogue and that a baby my defend among the victims. briefly michael how have political leaders been reacting to the events of pittsburgh. with shock and outrage i mean there has been widespread condemnation of this attack president dr has been has as called several times denounced this attack and said this this was a and anti-semitic crime now vice president pence has come out and called his and attack on freedom of religion in the u.s. and said this is not just a criminal act this is an evil act and israeli prime minister netanyahu also came

some it convened in istanbul overcoming their differences to try to finally find a settlement for peace in syria hours of talks produced a unanimous backing through a new constitutional committee backed by the united nations and followed by three elections. as they presented their agreement the german chancellor acknowledged the competing interests in the middle east is good i'm counting at the heart of it all are two wars that can be ended one against terrorism the other against a regime fighting a large part of its own population. and a total solution cannot succeed militarily but only politically in the end and that's under the auspices of the united nations. you did. not see where this number critically the syrian regime is back or at the talks russia was on board and underlined the importance of getting broad support. we boost one of those

reproduced you only absolutely have to conduct full consultations with the syrian government or european as well as with our partners in iran. because iran is a guarantor of the peace process of the cease fire around them and the creation of demilitarized zone. without around the won't be an effective resolution to this problem it's a problem of those refueling mission at some. later as the leaders sat down today thoughts of a toast crossed blood to me of putin's mind. i know not everyone was sure they have cause for celebration yet. i. was at the press conference in istanbul she sent us this assessment off a serious summit hosted by turkish president richard type. this is the first time two powerful european leaders german chancellor machall and french president of mccraw all sit down at the very same table with turkey and russia who are both

military actors on the ground in syria but on opposite sides of the conflict and despite all their differences they agree that the political process needs to be revived in syria to end the civil war there that's an important message of this summit now they specifically called also for a ceasefire in it live that's the last rebel stronghold in syria in northwestern syria last month turkey and russia brokered a deal for they agreed on a demilitarized zone and prevented a major bloody offensive by the assad government now the four parties at the summit expressed hopes that this deal could be turned into a more permanent ceasefire and my impression was they hope that such a ceasefire then could give momentum to greater peace efforts for the rest of syria as well but of course many problems many differences especially when it comes to

the future of president assad remain and many more parties and axes need to be involved when talking about syria's future so this is a very first step this summit is a very first step in a long process. let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world rallies have been helpful brazil's presidential candidates a day ahead of a pivotal runnel meaning for an endo had trails by double digits in the latest opinion polls hundreds of bike is rallied in sao paulo for far right show you. he's pledged to crack down on crime and open the amazon rain forest for economic development. police in mexico have abandoned a blockade they formed in the south of the country to stop thousands of migrants getting toward the u.s. border they ended the standoff after the country's national human rights commission said the rules stretch without or rather without shade or goetia was no place to
