a police operation shortly after nine o'clock here a french time that was following a volley of gunfire we understand in the node off strict here in the skies were it was the place that he was last seen after allegedly carrying out a christmas market attack just close to where i am standing right now across the border operation was launched. in france and germany mobilized but he was found in a dock the place that he was last seen a place that the softer new brant special forces had their rifles trained on a building following a tip off waiting to see if they could find him they understood of course that he was wounded in the previous gunfire volley which erupted on choose day night following that christmas market attack and yes they they found him and neutralized him what where they last saw him we're expected to now hear from interior minister accused of tests and there in the coming minutes and we'll understand more about

how this operation unfolded what i can say from from our side here instead i was bogus that i was out with a colleague at around nine pm everything was quiet we were looking at some of the memorials to the people that were killed in those attacks all of a sudden three police vans came you know very very fast really down the road from plastic blue lights flashing we followed them and as we followed and we got to this news that the chief suspect had been neutralized in this operation. you were in the public health thing where the suspect what do people there tell you about. it was a very mixed picture brant people said that they knew him they knew his brothers and sisters they the so thought that he seemed like a good guy relatively quiet but when you start to understand the picture of the estate that we're at it was a difficult area an area we spoke to

a community where he said very high areas of unemployment places that could lead to frustration a large muslim population who said that to some extent they felt frustrated by france's policy of being a secular state because they felt that it singled them out at some time specifically the muslim population as opposed to other religion so we could also see that it was an area which wouldn't have helped want to appear to be a troubled individual a man who had twenty seven criminal convictions ranging starting at the age of thirteen no less what people did say though is that they were very surprised to understand that a man who had a shia asked the security file meaning he was on france's terrorism watch list was living amongst them and they all shared the view that they condemned this attack that they were standing together and they were deeply shocked by what had happened here in the skies will. in strasbourg france tonight there with the news that that

suspect the suspect in the christmas market shooting in strasbourg in tuesday has been shot dead by police tonight. britain's prime minister to resume a went to brussels again today seeking help with break zip and she left without saying a war a day after facing down a leadership challenge at home to resume a was hoping to get reassurances about aspects of the brights a deal that have split her party the twenty seven other members of the european union they offered warm words and some moral support we understand but it's not clear what reassurances that they said that they can yet they've ruled out any really good she agent of the brics a deal itself may left the talks without comments while officials continued their meeting. are brussels bureau chief max help and he is on the story for us he is covering those faults thor's tonight so max theresa may she left without saying

a word does that tell us anything did she get what she came for. that doesn't tell us anything because that's usually how she leaves here but we have some inside information we do know that she talked and also the ensuing jewett a was for about just under one hour which would be record breaking for braggs that at these summits because even though we talk about that all the time the leaders usually don't because they believe that they go she has a process up to the e.u. commission so they really took some time for her to listen to what she had to say and afterwards and that's the point we're at at the moment they are talking among themselves so the e.u. twenty seven probably if they can make any kind of compromise if they could give any kind of concession we understand and that's extremely likely given the discussion in london that she will probably asked for a limitation of the backstop but so far that has been a red line for the rest of the european union let's see at the end if they gave it

. let's see if they give it to work or if they promise to give it to or so what happens next that i mean obviously we know that there is a is the the will in brussels to. to reserve may but to be based on what you've said mags they can't give are exactly what it is those hard line breaks into years in london want. they can give her much less if they stick to their red lines because not only is the backstop a red line but all of them coming in have said that they would not open up the withdrawal agreement again and that's the legally binding text for the divorce between the u.k. and the european union there's another document that we've been talking about that in the past it's the political declaration which has legal implications but it's not legally binding it's about outlining the future relationship between the united kingdom and the european union and they can might and that has been the indication of what we've been hearing they might be willing to change something in there to give. the e.u.

commission president put it a couple weeks ago some clarification some interpretation making it clear again that they're absolutely set on having a future trade with the ship a very special relationship as they always say and make it very clear that this backstop is not intended to be used. and max we've been saying this evening that theresa may is a walking wounded prime minister did you get that sense today when she arrived and that she was meeting with her counterparts there at the some. lead to be honest i did and many here share the sentiment you don't see that much of a difference you know if she comes from these huge political crises in london she spends hours in the house of commons defending what she's doing there is a no confidence vote by her own party where one hundred members of the house of commons of her own party vote against her yet she comes here and she repeats the

same things that she says she thinks this is the best deal for britain that it's really the only alternative there is and even if she's a walking wounded she still walking that's right even the dutch prime minister today said by everything he still admires her tenacity that's for sure back home in brussels on the story for us tonight max thank you. for here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the european union has extended economic sanctions on russia for its role in the eastern ukraine conflict and measures were first adopted in two thousand and fourteen and will be extended for another six months they target whole sectors of the russian economy including its valuable oil businesses at least nine people have been killed and many more injured after a high speed train frash in turkey a train collided with a locomotive on the same track shortly after it left the central station in the capital authorities are investigating. all the two sides in yemen civil

war have agreed to a cease fire in the port city of data at un sponsored peace talks in sweden today human secretary general. shook hands on the deal with yemen's foreign minister and a top who's the rebel leader. well this round of talks is all the establishment of humanitarian corridors and the deployment of neutral forces and the next round of talks is scheduled for january the city of data on the red sea is a vital interest point for humanitarian aid which is needed by millions of yemenis and has seen some of the worst fighting in the civil war which began four years ago alisa grundy is the un's humanitarian coordinator in yemen's capital sanaa she told the w. about the significance of this ceasefire deal with two hundred thousand civilians who have remained in two days and throughout are now free from the daily fear of

shelling and airstrikes and bombardment and we're also relieved because the port of creative which is the lifeline for northern even will be open and secure and functional right now there are twenty million people in yemen who are hungry the united nations is providing food to eight million of those people and we know we have to do more and that's why we're going to be scaling up and providing food to twelve million we'll be bringing that food in mostly through the port of data and this is another reason why the ceasefire is so welcome and so important and the steps that have to fall into place so that we can end this tragic and terrible war all of this has been looked at in the past we were very anxious for the next round of talks to occur the fighting in yemen has had an enormous civilian toll there are millions of people who have been brought to the brink of famine because of this war and this is why it's so important so urgent that the war stop and stop now that was

lisa grundy there with the un's office in sana'a yemen or the civil war in yemen has pushed the country to the brink of famine malnutrition is widespread and aid agencies say this humanitarian crisis is entirely man made. cries of pain like this are commonplace in yemen. two million children under five here a severely malnourished. and what have these children done that they have to suffer so much we're all suffering life is tough here disease is spreading children are starving including those who are at school. i mean i guess four hundred thousand children in yemen will die if they don't get urgent medical care hospitals that are relatively well equipped like this one in santa are few and far between outside the

capital the situation is dire parents have to transport their desperately sick children often hundreds of kilometers to get help and i also learned by my daughter started throwing up and had diarrhea so we come all the way from tires to santa to get a treat it was just any dan you know in rebel held areas of the country there's a sense of skepticism but also hope about the peace talks in stockholm civilians are desperate for the conflict that has been depleted in the population figures to finally come to an end. i expect the negotiations to be conducted seriously. if they follow the political situation on t.v. it's clear that there is a seriousness when it comes to finding a solution for yemen. and the government health south of the country people are also hoping for peace that the south receives military support from saudi arabia humanitarian aid remains very limited the u.n.

needs to help families here to to prevent more children losing their lives to starvation. you're watching the w. news wire from berlin more news coming up at the top of the hour hope to see you that. i'm skilled at the volume. that's hard and in the end it's i mean you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers with lions and. what's your story. on what numbers women especially in victims of violence in. part.
