reporter karl joins us in the studio with more on karl what's going on were people so worried that you have police security agencies in the u.s. they're on high alert the f.b.i. as well is warning about violence minute century there seems threatening posts online regarding cold unspecific mass shootings and there's a link to the opening of dzhokhar and those threats are being taken very seriously this is how seriously the new york premiere here in manhattan you can see canine team bomb sniffing dogs there at the door to the theater at many theaters across the country they're also banning any sort of costumes so take a look here you're not allowed to wear a mask cape cloaks no costumes whether your dress is a joke or a batman it doesn't matter you will not be allowed in even. earlier this week in los angeles the theater was shut down because of a threat that was deemed to be credible the movie theater then reopened but this weekend they'll have high security there are specific concern really across the

country something that's being called lone offender violence that's essentially one person who is armed and might go into one of these movie theaters and open fire fortunately so far there have been no incidents was reported it's been peaceful in fact the crowds have certainly not been staying away the movie broke box office records on its opening night but given how we understand here it seems like every other movie these days is a comic book based film with lots of violence which is a problem here i mean we see this all the time there's comic book movies coming out left and right i mean so it's not necessarily the violence in this movie it's really the way that the main character is being treated in the movie he's lifted up his it's very sympathetic about the joker he's the antihero he's troubled he's isolated he's being bullied he's rejected by society basically until he turns to violence to get his revenge and that is what really might ring a bit too true for some people so the brie is that someone might just try to copy what the joker does in the movie adding to those concerns and there was

a prior shooting at a batman movie premiere you remember in 2012 colorado there was a shooting a man walked in opened fire during the dark knight rises that's another movie featuring the joker 12 people were killed a 70 people were injured in that shooting in fact that same movie theater in colorado will not be showing the joker this weekend they're not taking any chances is that a shooting in colorado casting a shadow over the release in some way dad is especially for the the families of the relatives of the people that were killed in that shooting they in fact wrote a letter sent it to the c.e.o. of warner brothers they're asking that the movie studio essentially support gun control measures this is that letter and as you can see they're expressing concern about the movie and also asking for an end to put. contributions to pro gun politicians and for more funding for anti gun violence programs warner brothers has responded they say look we believe that storytelling is meant to quote provoke

difficult conversations and that the film on the character are not of course indorsements of any kind of real world violence certainly people going to see this movie it's open now in the us and it's coming to germany next week ok. thanks for that in denmark a very different type of ski slope has opened the hill was built on top of a waste incinerator the capital copenhagen has no hills or mountains so the architect decided to build his own sort of eco friendly area. in most cities around the world there are an absolute eyesore but in copenhagen this waste incineration plant has become a landmark the plant's operator since it's the most efficient and cleanest in the world and will supply 100 $60000.00 households with heating and also generate electricity but what's really special is what's on the roof a ski slope and a hiking trail have just officially been opened to the public.

sensational the design and say they wanted to be a space for everyone. it's not just for skiing we designed a new green space in the city with real biodiversity and in the middle of copenhagen you can now go skiing hiking and enjoy the outdoors. the rooftop is covered in a kind of artificial mesh grass simply grows through the matching. in one of the most expensive cities in the world city planners thought it crazy not to make use of the roof top surface so after spending around 470000000 euros on the waste plant they forked out a further 12000000 on the rooftop project. see that as an opportunity. when you invest so much money to do something more so instead of having separated.

from practicalities take any merge them into something new and more interesting. planners hope all the outdoor activity will have a positive effect on residents general health and well being. it's free to access the rooftop but an annual ski pass will cost $365.00 euro or. a day pass will set you back just 20. organizers say any income generated will go to the slopes maintenance costs. the idea seems to have gone down well with many here. and the idea is proving to be popular elsewhere the architectural firm is now set to develop a green rooftop in paris to improve quality and the french capital. sports now and it was a thrilling day in german football and we will bring you the best of the action in the bundesliga after the break leaders buying were expected to have an easy time of it at home to struggling hoffenheim but it didn't go according to plan all that and
