army clothes came up behind her i mean or at least looked militaristic. he had a rifle in his hand and a ski mask on and then he had what looked like a hand grenade or fireworks that he wanted to throw into the shot but it bounced off the door frame and went off right in front of this old woman with a very loud bang and then he looked at the rifle and began shooting. at us. isn't a state of emergency authorities call it a man page situation police believe there were several perpetrators and are calling on local residents to stay in their homes or places of work one suspect was arrested this afternoon but police warned locals in a tweet to remain alert shots were also fired in the town of lance back about 15 kilometers from hala the mayor says 2 suspects are believed to have hijacked a car and are still on the run.

this is news life a. top story one of our top stories turkey has started a military offensive in northern syria strikes are being carried out on the border reports from the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say there is a huge panic amongst the people before the strikes president announced the offensive into tweets the turkish armed forces together with the syrian national army just launched operation peace spring against the p.k. k y p g and terrorists in northern syria our mission is to prevent the creation of a terror corridor across the southern border and to bring peace to the area operation peace spring will neutralize terrorist threats against turkey and lead to the establishment of a safe zone facilitating the return of syrian refugees to their homes we will preserve syria's territorial integrity and liberate local communities from terrorists. let's bring in your. foreign policy spokesman for the conservative

party is in the german parliament we just heard in that tweet that he says it is preserving its country's territorial integrity does it have the right to do that in this way we have huge concerns concerning that military operation every military operation because the reason risk of a new escalation military escalation in the region and this might poison all my tom the peace process of the small about growing peace process ongoing in geneva with the summit of those 150 people who should work on a new constitution for syria i think the turkish government should stop this operation and if they are not able and willing to stop that should concentrate on dead to fight terrorists among the p.c. is all justified to us and not the ends or on fighters that are on the side of the alliance against us and. they need support and not.

by repression by by turkey so you say you should stop this action do you expect to germany to do anything more than talk. i think from my point of view of this is also a reason to call the ambassadors of the nato in brussels though that the turkish government can explain why and how they see that in line with international law this operation cells of the turkish border this could be in line with international law in case that they want only to defend turkey. against terrorism coming out of the region and the government of syria has not a control over that region but as it looks now it's more than that and that would be also against international law and i think nato partners to ask that question to the turkish government immediately ok what else is so germany as part of nato

should join that effort to talk it out what should germany be doing as a as a sovereign country about this conflict. we also use communication contacts to the turkish government to german minister was there some days ago we have this cooperation between european union and turkey concerned if you choose the european union has to continue support for turkey concerning the refugee question about the current situation in the north of syria on the sales of the turkish border is more a crucial point there called tension we might increase refugees and not causing the situation and this is part of the concerns we have for the current situation and germany has a significant turkish population do you have any concerns that this action will cause tension or unrest here in the country. we know from the past that in

germany a lot of people are supporting a president out of one but others supporting kodesh. population in turkey and in the area and in iraq we have a debate among those political groups in germany i think they should continue by debating that but my my demand on them is to the to that peacefully and to discuss the things but not taking any any action against the other groups because in germany every everyone has a right to state his his position but have has not the rights to take violent action thank you so much for talking to us talking to you know going hot foreign policy spokesman for the conservative parties in the german parliament. thank you so this is still believed by from our top story this hour 2 people killed in

shooting attacks at a synagogue and a kebab shop in the east and the city of hama. police custody. because brady is that well bring us up to date. well actually the latest news that we're just hearing now from some source is talking to the german press agency have been saying that police now now think that there was just one attack in the shooting today here in hala as you can see behind me the police operation here in hell here in eastern germany is still very much under way there are dozens of a large group of police officers here on the scene in the street behind me. is the street where that synagogue stands where that she's one of the 2 shootings took place today earlier this afternoon one woman was shot just a few reaches away from the synagogue where about 6070 members

overzealous huish community were actually attending. this is today which is a very widely regarded right whitely regarded sorry as the most solemn day in judaism and say there were more people at the synagogue today them which usually have been expected and what we've heard so far from most arches is that the that the suspects try to actually force entry into the synagogue before he opened fire outside and shot dead that woman and a 2nd man was also shot at a combat shot as well there are all of the reports from eyewitnesses that grenades were thrown there are reports that one great were made was thrown at the door of a compact shop but that actually ricocheted off the off back door and also of the eyewitness reports. a grenade was also thrown into a jewish cemetery again those are from eyewitnesses at the moment they haven't been

confirmed by authours cheese but the operation here in hull is still very much underway as he hears the siren still around the city and here behind me and people are still being launched to stay indoors and if they are out and about in hala to find shelter and stay indoors until the shooting has the all clear at the moment it's just the reverse is has been made in the operation at least now they holler train station has been opened to reopen that was closed for several hours earlier today and trains will be rerouted to leipsic but it is a very quiet evening here in this evening many people many locals shocked by the events that happened here today and also some of the events even have also been comes old events which used to take place to commemorate some of the pivotal demonstrations that took place 30 years ago in nearby leipsic peaceful demonstrations in the peaceful revolution of 1989 and those commemorations here in

hollywood tonight have been canceled and we have also heard from authorities that police presence in the meantime has been stepped up not only here in hala but also in the nearby cities of today's the and light 6 especially at synagogues following that attack here on the street behind me here this afternoon where 2 people died one at a combat shop and one outside the synagogue just behind me here to tell you i think you said the police sorry did you say the police say that now though there was one perpetrator. exactly that's the latest that we're hearing those were reports from the german press agency from the d.p.a. and so you know it seems that there's where not sure exactly where those reports came from earlier they. early reports in that there were multiple poppy traces in the shooting and that and that at least maybe 2 of them had actually even hijacked

a car and left the cities of course like in situations always like this the case is the situation is very much a developing story at the moment we're getting new information every hour but the latest it seems is that police are saying the attacker here the shooter seems at least 2 of acted alone and that's what we're hearing from authorities now here in eastern germany and the fact that the investigation has been taken over by federal prosecutors what does that tell us. it is like you say the federal prosecutors here in germany usually take over cases when there is a suspicion of national security a threat to national security or threat of terrorism terrorism so that gives you some indication of how seriously this shooting here is the intake and today at the moment we still don't know if we don't have a confirmed motive behind these shootings but the jewish community here in holland

has spoken spoken to media earlier this evening they said that they think it was a targeted attack on the jewish community here in holland is in germany as i was saying before the perpetration reportedly tried to actually enter the synagogue where dozens of people from how those jewish community were actually attending services for your kapuso day but they security services managed to keep the attacker out but he said he opened fire on the street kate brady hala thank you. so let me remind you that at the top stories as you've just been behaving at least 2 people have been killed in shooting attacks on a synagogue and tap a kebab shop at the base of german secure holiday police have arrested a suspect the main broadway station has had been closed i'm has not been reopened
