4:03 pm
courtyard where he was shot down by a police officer more details of course are coming in slowly but from the moment police are saying that's the only information that prepared to get out is anything known about the suspect and his motive. at the moment you know all we know is he works for the police force for 20 years and as the minister to have to show they say that there was nothing in his record to show that he had these tendencies in the last out police have arrived at his home to see if there was any sort of information that he left there quickly lead them to find out what caused this attack them all of them not you know if we really are coming up with lines every way that we lead to go down through formation and council how could the authorities they're treating this attack. this intact is being taken very seriously even though very early on they said they doubted whether this was a terrorist attack the fact that the french president the prime minister and the

4:07 pm
little responsibility they were blaming the states they were blaming the league for their woes and their troubles in recent years she said there was she said really that there was too much moaning and she didn't say who was doing them voting that she was going to she was piloting but it was clearly by implication too many instruments remoting and not taking responsibility not showing the courage to a very good and i'm not sure how well that will go down among eastern german voters and. she did talk about divisions between former east germany and west germany now she's been chancellor she's into a 4th she herself is from eastern do you think she could have done more to bridge this divide. i don't. i'm not sure that my opinion is very important an awful lot of people here in germany do think that anglo american was after all her 4th term in office she's been dominant the dominant force in german politics for so very long and a lot of people are saying look this happened on her watch that so many instant germans have become disillusioned 57 percent saying they feel like 2nd class
4:08 pm
citizens she ought to have done more especially as it is german and somehow and for some reason we've never really worked out quite why she has shied away from taking that role of designating the people of eastern germany as her constituency or at least is an important constituency for her peter craven thank you very much for those insights. into address chancellor merkel acknowledged that not everything had gone smoothly since reunification and that goes both for the east and the west as we hear in our next report. martina yemen is the merits of dresden she's a local politician who's had to give up her job. the move was triggered by disobedience from a supermarket in arms doff that made headlines around the country 3 years ago. a patient from the local clinic a mentally ill refugee from iraq was dragged from
