this is the w.'s line from their moms arrested after hijacking a truck and crashing it into a line of cars in germany injuring several people the suspect arrived in the country from syria in 2015 pleas for investigating his motives will bring you an update from the city also on the program to a human hughes's britain the from launching a stupid blame game falling call between the german chancellor i'm going to battle and you take prime minister boris johnson a source in london says chancellor merkel told mr johnson his plan to meet the e.u. was overwhelmingly unlikely but did she believe the 2nd. analyst has

a story. i mean nobel prize for physics has announced a trio of space research just wins for their contributions to be understanding of how our universe evolved into its place if. i'm still gail welcome to the program police in germany are investigating after a man hijacked a truck and crashed it into a line of cars injuring 9 people the incident happened overnight in the western town of limburg the driver was quickly detained by police and identified as a syrian national who's been resident in germany since 2015 his motive hasn't been established. this is the track that dreamt interest 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 minister c. office said. it's being investigated but at this time i cannot tell you how this crime will be classified he said thoughts requalify. 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 procession 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. this prosecutor 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 to be reporter dana reggie have is that welcome dana what have people there been telling you. yet phil people here are actually quite shocked and i witnessed 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 of 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 and generally they quite shocked. the police are not ruling out the terrorist motive at this stage

they must be looking at our house between this christmas mark at the time 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 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 don't move take a closer look than the general secure 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 that will 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 a numerous actors behind this attack or that the web is actually very wide very deep and there's a would be to determine just how far that robert a whole goals in more importantly you know what probably what prompted this attack because there's obviously there's intent but the question is was a 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 if you are in 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 the 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 do you say the training so this is training in well in counterterrorism and just general policing what it's an alice is essentially what are decides 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 statistically 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 26 seem to have been there actually been less and less attacks but because they're easy to to for to perpetrate they're 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 and some people from the modern security consulting group thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world police in germany removing climate protesters who've been blockading streets in central and climate activist group extinction rebellion says several 100 people contact overnight as part of a wave of civil disobedience similar protests have taken place around the world to put pressure on governments to do more about the climate crisis. has become public calls chief executive carried loud was one that she will not rule out chinese

intervention in the semi autonomous territory if i do government protests get worse phone company least say they've arrested 77 people since a ban on wearing face masks came into effect some journalists attending the briefing will face masks. turkey says it's ready for an offensive against syria's kurds following u.s. president donald trump's decision to pull troops out of northern syria a president from now faces accusations that he has abandoned kurdish forces who were killed u.s. allies in the fight against so-called islamic states. now did germany's chancellor really tell britain's prime minister that bret's that deal is overwhelmingly likely well that's what a source close to bars johnson has told british media following the phone call this morning between the prime minister and i'm going to match the leak has prompted a you council president don't toast toward mr jones not rex it should not become

a blame game you can use to to leave the european union at the end of this month. the brits it honest alex forced whiting can break this down for us welcome alex that's what do we know about who said what to who or what we officially know is that boris johnson states has said that this conversation between angela merkel and boris johnson this morning was challenging but on officially a source close to boris johnson told. cool journalist that angle medical allegedly said that a brick said jail is overwhelmingly unlikely and less london except that northern ireland which is part of the u.k. remains in a customs union with the e.u. to prevent a hard border returning between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and the british government is saying that it's just not going to happen. but how valid is the leisure time in this phone call it we would normally know the contents so

now that we know one side's version of the contents what sort of reaction has there been from germany and from the e.u. well the chancellor a has said that yes this conversation did take place but they will not divulge what was she said because it was a private conversation many medical watches a saying it's a language that she's allegedly used it just seems unlikely it's not the kind of tone and she's always said she would do everything to ensure that there was an orderly brix it but we have heard from no but again who is chairman of the german foreign affairs committee and he tweeted there is no new german position on brics it frankly a deal on the basis of johnson's proposals until october the 31st has been unrealistic from the beginning and yet the e.u. has been willing to engage blaming others for the current situation is not fair play and many in brussels also believe that that is what boris johnson is trying to do so to blame all those if you cannot get this deal

a very angry tweet from the e.u. council president donald tusk who tweeted boris johnson directly what's at stake is not winning some stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and the u.k. as well as the security and interests of our people you don't want to deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke quo vadis and that means where are you going but there are many certainly in the u.k. who believe that that is this is another example of the e.u. doing all it can to stop brics it looked. that tweet head that came from the group believe you we didn't win 2 world wars to be pushed around by a kraut across of course is a rather unkind word that some british use for germans but yeah that's all that we will bury myself suresh the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in 3 weeks so does this latest exchange spot route change anything mean anything i don't think it does particularly no i mean boris johnson has said that he will

leave with or without a deal last week he submitted his own plans to the e.u. to try to sort out the issue of a northern ireland unlikely to be accepted he's also had his hands rather tight by his and parliament who have said that if you cannot get a deal with the e.u. up by next weekend when there is this new council meeting that he must also the brics to be delayed again he says he doesn't want to do that he's doing everything to say it will not be his fault if he does have to do it so i think that is the way that we are heading at the moment alex forrest watching. an edifying spectacle cross the channel for another hour let's thank you brazil's presenters are both anonymous as the mysterious appearance of oil slicks on his country's coast may be the result of a criminal act the oil began washing up on beaches along the north east coast last month also no one suggested that another country could be to blame but he didn't

say which. pools of oil covered beaches on brazil's coast for weeks they have been appearing along the shores of the atlantic in the state of tourist spot a turtle covered in oil and claim this is the result of gross negligence. that's caused. more oil slicks have now been spotted 2000 kilometers for the south overall more than 130 brazilian beaches have been hit. the entire navy in northeast brazil has been mobilized we are trying to dennis what's causing this and where it's coming from. a brazilian t.v. network is investigating whether an accident a refinery belonging to the oil company petrobras may have played a role the site experienced an oil spill at the end of august petrobras which is partly state denied any involvement and claimed the oil may stem from

a foreign tanker experts in brazil have criticized what they see as a delayed response from authorities. there was no fast coordinated effort from the authorities and the oil companies. to prevent the oil from reaching the coast. an analysis of the oil will now be conducted with the hope that the results will shed more light on its source . let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world hundreds of indigenous people and farmers in ecuador have clashed with security forces as they marched towards the capital quito to protest soaring fuel prices riot police and the military used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators on the outskirts of the city. hundreds of haitians have joined the protests in the capital port au prince are demanding the removal of the battles present juvenile y.c. demonstrators are angry about corruption rising inflation and the lack of food and

things stand. 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 they were 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 roots now policy of before 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 yeah 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 that. always take in 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 whole see hope in the end will succeed it's just not as fast as he 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 do you think that they will become over time it looks like that 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. that's offered a macsoftware in luxembourg. so this meeting happened against a backdrop of warnings about another wave of migrants reaching europe via turkey largely because of fighting in northern syria and the turmoil in iraq german interior minister jose hoffa's says he fears the numbers arriving could be even larger than 2015 but sentiment has changed in the 4 years since germany 1st

welcomed more than a 1000000 refugees. but he's only fled syria for bolin in 2015 in almost half a decade his life has changed dramatically and the country here arrived in with it . beginning with merkel's famous open door policy we've done so much we can do this the landmark e.u. turkey deal to prevent refugees entering the e.u. via turkey more controls more transfer centers the rise of and the migrant sentiment and now the latest plan to accept more migrants rescued from the mediterranean but is germany ready for more asylum seekers. 30 year old for hade works with the association start with a friend creating bonds between germans and migrants he says the country is ready but refugees still face all the obstacles that so i wasn't instance from vice be involved feel since 2015 for example many things have become more difficult.

decisions have been made which prevent integration like the tightening off rules on family reunification share for. i mean you're not without their families are refugees and migrants here can't fully integrate. and they can't properly start a new life in the new country. can. start and i know it's late. and. can oust the architect of the 2060 migration go between the e.u. and turkey so east germany has the means to take in more refugees but says it's hard to predict if society will give the green light to policy in 2015 germany i think surprised itself with its willingness to mobilize all of society not just the government and welcome a huge number of people what would happen if there is another few 100000 people in

turkey and pressing on to greece we don't know for for heat the past 4 years have been a learning process both for him and for germany. does van make it and germany has learnt that when migrants all refugees are given enough support when they arrive then they will quickly give a lot back from their hearts and become a part of this society. i am told the success of. on the other hand i think for example some germans or some people here haven't properly observateur history and haven't learned from its mistakes. that means marginalization again hate and the election of a racist party again and that is not

a good sign that says session. it's either something very wonderful or it's something horrible that's what one of this year's nobel laureates for physics thought as he got a phone call that told him he'd be receiving the prize 3 scientists they named as well as the nobel committee said the prizes 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 her for of the nobel prize in physics was granted for our understanding of what happened next the royal we did she can move 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. cosmology 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 to other researchers and astronomy were also honored and the other half jointly to michelle by you and kill you for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar types. back in the early 1990 s. it was still impossible to take the incredibly detailed measurements of a distant star the could show whether it was orbited by a planet michel maior n.d.t. 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. i mean sports one of germany's footballing great cities hanging up his boots bustin schweinsteiger has announced that he's retiring from the game following the final game of chicago fire season last sunday he made his name by a new take away spent 17 years in youth playing on full professional winning 8 abundance league titles on the champions league he also played 121 games for germany comes off the side on the 24th 2 world cup in brazil. that is a reminder of our top story the police in germany are investigating an incident in the town of member of the full potential arabs the 13 year old syrian not hijacked
