we need to get more. starts october 21st on d w. w news line from ms arrested after crashing a stolen truck into a line of cars in germany injuring several people police are investigating the motives behind the incident the driver arrived in germany from syria in 25th day bring you an update from the city also on the program but he says it has completed her preparations for. serious cuts and a surprise move by the u.s.

to pull troops out of north to syria plunge the security situation into. i'm the prize for physics is announced a trio of space research. contributions to understanding how our universe evolves i'm off the 1st place. i'm welcome to the program. fleas in germany are investigating after a man rammed a stolen truck into a line of cars injuring 9 people the incident happened over night in the western town of limburg the police quickly detained the driver and identified him as a syrian national who's been a resident in germany since 2015 his motive has not been established. this is the track bed rammed into several cars in the western german city often

book police believe the person at the wheel pulled the tracks original driver out of cap asked whether there were any indications that it was a terrorist attack german interior ministry of a set. being investigated but at this time i cannot tell you how this crime will be classified he said thoughts of quality. what we know so far is that the truck's driver was a 32 year old syrian national the man arrived in germany in 2015 and was apparently known to police for assault and possession of drugs. have detained the person behind the wheel of the truck at the moment we are investigating the reason for the collision and of course everything else necessary to determine what happened here just. as prosecutors said that they can give any information on the possible motive security authorities say the suspect has no known links to extremist or islamist groups. straight to limburg than where

that incident took place the double reporter dana read jeff is that welcome dana what have people there been telling you. yet fool people here are actually quite shocked and i who witness with whom i spoke earlier said that she did not expect something like this to happen in such a small town at least in german measures we're talking about 35000 people she said i expected this to happen maybe in bigger cities like berlin but nowhere near a place like in borg and other and another eyewitness said that he was absolutely astonished he actually says he saw the accident when it happened the actual crap crash as he is working in one of the offices here nearby he went out and wasn't sure if this was a car crash if it was intentional or accidental and people here i'm generally they quite in shocked. police are not ruling out the terrorist motive at this stage they

must be looking at our house between this christmas market attack 3 years ago. well that's it phil i mean obviously a lot of people are drawing a lot of similarities between the 2 so as of now police are being very cautious with stating the exact motive they're not given any further details about that but they're definitely not ruling anything out like you've said so we also know that the suspect a 32 year old syrian national he was involved in former offenses drug offenses and violent crimes but as of this point they're not saying anything specific about a motive or about any extremist or terrorist links so let's leave it there. thank you. i move take a closer look than the general security situation with the young son pierre he's

c.e.o. of the counterterrorism security and international affairs consultancy modern security consulting group welcome to the. we as we were just hearing that no motive has yet been established so how will investigators go about determining that well they'll be about verifying how just how many links are possible we have seen in the past that even if in attacks described as being lone actors that there were numerous actors behind this attack and that the web is actually very wide very deep and does it lead to determine just how far that robert whole goals and more importantly you know what probably what prompted this attack because there's obviously there's intent but the question is was it politically motivated can it be terrorism what exactly what is behind this and so the next 24 hours will be crucial because we have people will just assume syria involves a truck attack therefore terrorism but we have to be a bit more careful than that absolutely and that's probably the biggest success if

you want to call it that way from terrorists over the last few years is that a random car crash now not to say that that was the case yesterday but we had a situation berlin a few years a few weeks ago big car crash 4 people died and that the 1st reaction was is that terrorism and as such now we've reached a point where perception trumps facts and as such it can often lead to is this a terrorist attack or not and secure a possible investigations. how will authorities here in germany have they learned lessons from from past incidents like this it's a difficult question so answer because on the one hand there are some very short term answers that say yes there's been improvement on the other hand long term there's a lack of personnel lack of resources but more importantly the issue lies with the lack of training german authorities right now say well we've hired so many people they need to be trained they'll be ready in 3 years but the problem is the threat

is ongoing and as such there's this discrepancy between what's available what can be effective and what's anticipated and what's going to come up and so we're playing catch up right now not just in germany but in many you use you say the training so this is training it well in counterterrorism and just general policing what it's an alice is essentially what are just signs what are factors that can say can lead to somebody saying well there's a 60 percent chance probability that this can be an attacker to try to avoid the mistakes that were done with i'm ready for example so i was just a drug dealer i can't be a terrorist times have changed the profile has changed and that needs to be adapted as. speculating than if this is terrorism it's interesting that a truck has been used it seems that vehicular attacks are becoming more and more common ave is that this thickly no but from a perception yes because again as soon as it's a. car crash we tend to think right away it could have been

a terrorist attack and so this gives us the impression that there are indeed more attacks was that this sickly speaking since 2016 there have been there actually been less and less attacks but because they're easy to to perform to perpetrate they're very easy to to plan we get that impression that could be that could happen more often that it does but in fact it hasn't but if it comes down again to the perception between terrorism and occurrence good talking to you thanks for joining us that you're on some people from the modern security consulting group thank you. and here in the united states our president trump is facing criticism at home and abroad over his decision to pull u.s. troops out of the kurdish controlled area of northern syria close to the border with turkey the move makes way for a planned offensive by turkey which was to send its forces into northern syria to create a buffer zone i along the border and move 2000000 syrian refugees into the area turkish government views the kurds controlling northern syria as terrorist but

kurdish groups have been a crucial ally u.s. ally in the war against the so-called islamic state some experts fear that the u.s. withdrawal will create a humanitarian emergency and pave the way for a resurgence of i-s. in syria. a mock up period he has served as a u.s. ambassador to syria and indeed to turkey he's now a visiting scholar at the carnegie europe think tank welcome to day w. if turkey moves against the kurds in northern syria what chance will they stand. well it all depends how far they want to go as you know in the speech at the u.n. general assembly a couple of weeks ago president that one study wanted to save 30 kilometers that that's a lot and that was not the the discussion was the u.s. forces there were rather talking of 5 kilometers so there was

a lot of impatience building there now it was for the mystic political reasons both in the u.s. and in turkey because of the personalities involved with the 2 presidents who like strong words and strong narratives he says flared up it doesn't make the situation any easier for for turkey. if they go only a few kilometers deep. without having air cover because this is not more difficult was the u.s. being present there there will probably try to establish a sort of no man's land and start with that gone into other provinces in africa and it had all of the aleppo province which is ethnic engineering pushing the kurds as fond of syria as far as possible and populating the area only with all right syrians and joke about this is that we'll see if it works he told

events on military 'd. means to work whether they use longer range artillery for example right which will create a lot of division counties but is the thing about deploying. a nato country's military against a suppose it enemy who is not actually attacking you is the world going to stand by and let turkey do that. well it is one other. discrepancies between turkey a nato as you know we already have these beginning of a deployment off russian missile i have seen so yet which is creating havoc in the european missile defense system set up by nato so lots of trust is being lost there nobody understands what he wants to do between the west to which it belongs formally by way off from its membership of nato and russia now these operation

although not in nato area of competence syria further erodes the trust in him in turkey. it will ring counter drug resistance from some of the source the us as we've seen iran as we've heard yesterday and at one point maybe just russia to ok because india expression while russia and iran want the assad regime to recover all the border controls wrong their country it's clear mark piri me from con the europe thank you so much. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a new council president daughter of tour scares accuse the u.k. of playing a stupid blame game over breaks it comes to tweet came after a phone call between german chancellor i'm going to back a british prime minister boris johnson unnamed sources in london reportedly said

that a deal was impossible because chancellor merkel made an acceptable demand. relation become chief executive of carry law has warned that she will not rule out the chinese intervention in the semi-autonomous territory if antigovernment protests worsened the city's police say they have arrested 77 people since a panel wearing face masks came into effect some journalists at the briefing wall. or it's either something very wonderful or something horrible that's what one of this year's nobel laureates for physics thought as he got the phone call that told him he'd be sharing the prize 3 scientists have been named as winners the nobel committee said the prize is being awarded for the trios work of understanding the structure of the universe. it all began when the universe exploded out of a hot dense state nearly 14000000000 years later half of the nobel prize in physics

was granted for our understanding of what happened next the royal free dish we can use sciences has today decided to award the 2900 new bell prize in physics with one half james peebles for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology back in the 1960 s. cosmologist was largely a speculative science but since then we've learned a huge amount about the evolution of the universe around us and james peebles was a key figure in that process nearly every step of the way time after time his seminal work in the field has helped scientists interpret traces from its earliest days and also help show the universe is expanding. due to 2 of the greatest mysteries in modern physics dark matter and dark energy 2 other researchers in astronomy were also honored and the other half jointly to michelle my you. for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar types thought back in the early 1990 s.

it was still impossible to take the incredibly detailed measurements of a distant star that could show whether it was orbit had by a planet michelle maior and d.d. a kilo developed new cutting edge methods to do so and sparked a revolution in astronomy more than 4000 so-called exoplanets have been pinpointed since their 1st pioneering efforts a number that steadily growing the list now even contains planets that could theoretically be conducive to life circling distant stars the discoveries made by this year's physics laureates have forever changed our perception of the universe around us. and our european union interior ministers have been meeting in luxembourg today to discuss how to deal with migrants arriving across the mediterranean sea germany france italy in malta have already agreed to accept the share of migrants rescued at sea they want other e.u.

states to join in a new voluntary resettlement scheme according to current a utah asylum seekers must register and stay in the country where they 1st learned that's put enormous pressure on mediterranean states so far this year spain's received more than 20000 migrants in italy almost 8000 in greece well over 40000 migrants arrivals are down by about 30 percent this year but when boats arrive europe struggles to deal with the situation so today's talks were aimed at improving that the devil is max hoffman is in luxembourg covering the valley meeting a welcome max so what do we learn from today's meeting. the meeting is over that is a fact so that's information number one and it took a long time for them to come up with something in the end because it was supposed to only be over lunch in the end they discussed this over 3 hours migration policy it shows you just how contentious this issue still is and you said correctly feel

that the goal was to include as many countries as possible in an automatic mechanism to relocate refugees rescued at sea in the central mediterranean group now policy of the german interior minister said after the meeting the good news is that 12 countries are interested or think it's a good idea to have this automatic mechanism but none of them want to join the original 4 which are france italy malta and germany so they will have to continue it's an ongoing process but you can say that. for now at least it failed in his goal to have these results here today in luxembourg yet he did seem confident a couple of weeks ago about getting these countries on board so what went wrong. well maybe he was a little too confident in the beginning to begin with he underestimated probably how contentious this issue still is in some countries how hard it is to sell but

there's also an interesting effect on the other side of the spectrum which is that some countries are always taking migrants really like spain or portugal thought they should have been included from the very start in this mechanism and didn't take it too well that only 4 countries did that without informing them some of the most likely route now is that policy over in the end will succeed it's just not as fast as you hoped it would be and that you know over the next few weeks he will be able to include more countries in this mechanism so from what you said and it sounds slowly optimistic you said that lots of countries like the idea but didn't want to get involved but you think that they will become over time it looks like and countries like the baltic states like ireland like portugal are interested but still we have this massive rift bill in the european union that has not changed especially between some eastern european countries like hungry in poland and then

some western european countries like germany that has not changed the opposition from this eastern european countries is still fierce to put it that way and so the long term goal of a common asylum policy seems as remote as ever. in luxembourg i think. it would be news still to come. you know what you mean. the 1st time he went against the team you think you see in their eyes they peer at the rugby world cup on the right take a look at alternative rugby events are happening in japan ok rugby told. first the battle of stalingrad widely seen as the turning point of world war 2 in europe it marked the moment when soviet troops held had nazi germany's invasion of russia and began driving the german army back across the continent to all of this victory
