that will give them i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but once i'm going to. you want to know their story in full migrants terrified and reliable information for more ignorance. this is d w news i'm here to get us welcome back to the program we're continuing our breaking news coverage from the city of strasburg in france gunshots in the center of the city have left at least two people dead and several injured the gunman is said to have been wounded in an exchange of gunfire with soldiers at the scene but is believed to be still on the run the european parliament which is in strasbourg has activated its emergency protocol and is on lockdown to protect the people inside. french interior minister to stuff gaza near talked to media in paris

earlier this evening we understand the number of victims may be an increase since he spoke the let's hear what he had to say. i am heading to strasburg right away as i'm speaking to you there are two deceased several in a very critical condition and seventy eight are wounded in the shooter has been identified. as i'm speaking to you a police operation is underway i don't have any more to say on it as you can understand he is known as a common criminal i don't have more to share with you at this stage i will update you with new information as soon as it is available thank you if you can get that and of course we'll update you on the latest developments we're going to try to establish contact to our correspondent who is on the scene later in the show now to other news and britain's prime minister to resign may has returned to london.

tonight after european union leaders told her there would be no renegotiation of the brics a deal may is seeking changes to make the deal more acceptable to members of parliament who seemed ready to rejected in a vote that would have taken place today had may not call it off on a whirlwind tour of european capitals the reason may found plenty of sympathy but little in the way of concessions. morning in the hague friendly greetings at the start of what is for british prime minister theresa may a desperate mission can she get dutch prime minister margaret on board to help zero in concessions for her breakfast deal publicly he's keeping his lips sealed on the matter that may spokesperson late to set the meeting was productive you in london meanwhile let's hope. it's absolutely vital that we deliver the bricks that the seventeen point four million people voted for i'm sure the prime minister will guarantee that we get a good deal and i hope that's a council supported that she's not going to get improvements is she really be a pessimist let's wait and see she's putting everything she's got into this i think

she deserves our full support trying to do that. but even as make of that terrell in berlin this car door wasn't the only thing proving resistance german chancellor angela merkel has holding firm to her iron rule no agreement with london on anything that could jeopardize the unity of the e.u. that means no renegotiations but according to merkel efforts are being made to secure a surance is for britain's over the fate of the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but the general consensus in berlin is. kind that there can be no allowances no other agreement than the one we already have given can't this county occur and it wasn't there can't be any cherry picking and that also now can't be franticly negotiations because mrs may seems not to be able to get the deal passed in the u.k. in its current form. but e.u. commission president jean-claude juncker does have this one thing to offer and this

will if used intelligently is enough to get further clarification and further interpretations we vote open it we've agreed this will not happen. as mayor arrived in brussels the seasoning at least the car door was no longer proving so on yielding but may know because of may do little to appease hard liners back at home but she sounded nevertheless optimistic. but what i'm discussing with european leaders and we'll continue to discuss with them is how we can provide that assurance that the backstop for northern ireland where it be used it doesn't need to be used but where it be used we need certainty that it is only temporary but time is running out may once the british house of commons to vote on the deal by january twenty first that's the situation doesn't change dramatically. all right we're going back to the top story that we're following for you at this hour the

shooting in the french city of strasbourg and we have live coverage g.w.s. own max holzman is in strasbourg from where he joins me on the line right now max good evening to you we understand that there are recent developments the gunmen could have been cornered what can you tell us what's the latest and that's what we understand yes no action has been pushed to a different neighborhood where it all started it started at the center for so you know those pictures that you feed well of the curtains market that's where the suit it took place not exactly on the christmas market but close by police activity now is south or south of the center so about two to three kilometers from where we are here helicopters circling this is where the police concert heading and some of the sources that we have are saying that the gunmen have been cornered in a specific area right there we also don't that there's absolutely no traffic or how to go in there now what can you tell us about the general situation in the city as such is the entire city on lockdown is it only affecting certain areas. it's not

the entire city for example where we are now the police perimeter people are walking and driving pretty big but you have some parts of the city earlier where it was not allowed to go inside it and more forced people were allowed to go outside the still the center of strasburg when you really and the people grasped they. in their apartment and if they were a restaurant like we were they were at the stay in the restaurant in some restaurants and we heard from friends and colleagues they were asked to go in the basement because this was very close ripley's was conducting heavy operations and we understand that those operations continue at this hour what are the police saying we have any information on when these operations could end and how safe the situation is right now. police are keeping their information very close to them so their main target right now is not involving the public and i thought they did a lot to take you know that they would have

a crystal ball so it seems like they're getting closer to the target it's not a moving target anymore if she was as we understand that the person that they're looking for is closer in a specific place usually a sign as you know compact or the fact that this is the end game but you never know because this person has foreseen this as the place where it went to go down that stock weapons ammunition things like that we don't know we do know though that it's probably not going to move around the city anymore because you have that target in a specific location and we understand that we would be talking about one person as that target correct me if i'm wrong you mentioned one of the key words a terror attack of course that comes to mind when we see scenes like these are there any indications that this could be a terror attack indeed. well if there are many vacations that it could be a terror attack you never know though until it's really confirmed. the police and

the authorities are treating it as a terror attack and we do know that the person they're looking for was known to already he was classified as. esquire that is the file in france that indicates that the authorities believe have been radicalized or on the way to be radicalized this is one of those persons twenty nine years old so. we understand apparently they even try to get a hold of that person in the morning the morning when they went to department he wasn't home we're still waiting for a confirmation of all this we're getting this information from different sources that this is the picture that's emerging and it's very difficult to tell while developers are still going on markets we know that strasburg is not just any city in france and in europe as it is the officials see the e.u. parliament and from what we know today there was a special event from the european parliament also taking place. while it's

a plenary session meaning that once a month if you have the european parliament descending down on strasburg which is the official capital the european parliament and they are four days so once a month a special event if you want to call it that you have a plan to recession you have certain discussions so any those probably. the one where you have heightened security because of course you have many politicians here with their staff and some of those are right now in my town and european parliament not allowed to be a good situation. and this will of course disrupt that plenary session i assume. official business was almost over so probably not that much that this happened around eight pm local time. that most of the business was already done and now depends how long this will drag on. now max can you tell us more about the location where this specifically happened you told us that it was not on the christmas market itself is but rather nearby can you tell us more about the location and how

it would normally look on a day like them. you know you're going around telling this story centers and not far away from the home i'm sure many people saw. absolutely fascinated by me but by the couple of feet away from that you have this christmas market which is one of the most most well known christmas markets in the whole of europe and. the fact that it didn't happen on the christmas market might be able to cater for but the fact that the authorities have known for a long time that the christmas market is a chart they actually prevented some terror attacks in the past two years ago and also in the year two thousand and money around here on monday coming receded and there were heavy controls on the street media to the christmas markets. by the fed may not happen as we understand right on the christmas market that maybe two hundred meters away from there where exactly. we'll still have to wait to be

official police report. one last question have you heard any declarations any statements from officials other than police officials we understand that there were also ministers. essentially commenting on the incident we haven't heard from other political leaders so far have we this is the business of the interior minister of france and of course has said. as quickly as possible for example that this is a very grave security incident something that we have to get out of ourselves by having the help of the victims and the records by the people i'm talking here but if you're a minister who was part of this and even if up. to protest in general. the distances we have right now are always going to stand this might increase because some of those that were injured of a church marshal plan following the story for us in strasbourg thank you very much we'll come back to you later on thank you max take care. on to other headlines the

seach there's still a long way to go the prisoner swap is a sign of hope but it's also the least contentious issue on the table the rivals are still negotiating. and continue with other news and going back to france where high school students have been out on the streets of paris to protest against the french government's education reforms the march follows weeks of nationwide demonstrations against president emanuel mark hall's economic policies last night the president promised an increase in the minimum wage and tax cuts for pensioners but for some it wasn't enough. braving the first snow full the yellow vest protesters here in one tightly in eastern france remain defiant and the anti-american slogans need a little translation sit down with the president who comes across very cold and who doesn't understand our demands he is totally out of touch with the everyday realities of the people. of usual. in a speech president emanuel mccall admitted he showed us some blame for the crisis.

can you tell us about the latest developments we understand that the suspect has been cornered are there any recent developments. we still hear the helicopters overhead the neighborhoods where those stores where you showdown between police forces and the far back that we also give you has ordered that this is he understands still and are going operation people that are close to that neighborhood. report that they've heard shots so. also no traffic allowed to go through there the whole kruger absolutely closed what can you tell us about the situation in the city and in general are there people who cannot get hold still or is the parts of the city are there an entire city in lockdown areas. yeah i mean for example i can get home that's really not a problem if you look at what has happened in the city right here but parts of the

city are still locked down some of the hotels have shut their doors for example and you can only get inside after you've identified yourself as a guest of the hotel so everybody's still extremely careful because after all you have an ongoing operation in the city as long as the police doesn't say that they have actually captured the man that they are looking for but of course the emphasis of the whole operation has shifted throughout the evening when all of this started around eight pm local time it was right in the heart of strasburg close to this very famous gypsy drolling close to the christmas market as well and that is where the people were asked mr day in the bar in the restaurant on also at home now it has shifted to the south for a different neighborhood so you assume that the person that the police are trying to get a hold of fled the center of the city to go there is this wasn't planned or not we don't know but it appears that the person in the course. of the way from the

center to the southern neighborhood was injured by some soldiers now max you were speaking about the person that police are searching for a do we know more about the alleged shooter even though we know that it's very early to tell. surprisingly there are there is some information out there and this is probably because the authorities know. this man is and they did looking for this man one source has been claiming that they tried to take him into custody this morning but that he wasn't at home when they try to get a hold of that we do know that this man is twenty nine years old he is classified as a file in france which means that he's either believed to have been radicalized or on the way to being radicalized that's one in strasberg thank you very much for bringing us the latest i hope you do get to get home. you're watching
