rather than dealing with the issues that should be dealt with now and then just trying to beat him in the next election the polls all but shortly after the beginning of his town hall the congressman is being grilled by his constituents on the issue are some pretty republican support for another country to interfere with our elections is on and you know it's from all the votes should count i feel the president's using his political power for political personal gain i also believe the former constitution and no one. so have you stated support for the internet for him to have a trial for asking we're going to interfere in our elections but i don't mean every other president who has had a little more old child into the interim office almost all of. those oh there's a lot more out there like. that really appreciate everything. and

i think people will be surprised when he is voted bad. or if there are or we elect it or impeached and convicted the dispute about that is likely to intensify and not only in better grounds wisconsin. alexander phenomena there reporting from america a nation divided all right returning now to our top story germany's interior ministry says that today's a shooting in eastern germany is an anti semitic attack 2 people were killed in the city of hama when an attacker opened fire outside a synagogue and at a nearby shish kabob die and authorities say that the gunman also trying to force his way into the synagogue where worshippers a gathering for yom kippur for which is the holiest day of the year in judaism police have arrested one person in a german media saying that the suspect is a 27 year old german man with a wry. we stream missed background that's all we're getting in right now. are

joining me here the big table now is political correspondent thanks millionaire koshare. so let's talk a little bit about what have for and kind of walk us through again exactly what we know happened today yes so the exact details of how the events rolled out have not been confirmed by the authorities yet but what we know is that around lunch time shots were fired near a synagogue in the east german city of hala today is young kapoor's you already mentioned it's one of the earliest days in the jewish calendar and people had met for prayer. off of the shots apparently also an explosive was placed near the synagogue to mention that during these shots of one woman who was killed police authorities have confirmed the woman was a biased and that apparently innocent bystander yes and the next and again. explosive has been placed in the synagogue it hadn't exploded and the attack which

is currently according to authorities have been saying what wise have been reporting that there was one suspect he tried to enter the synagogue but couldn't. the suspect moved on to where again shots were fired another person died and then 15 kilometers away from hala another time another incident happened where again shots were fired and it's important also to with our viewers know that all synagogues all jewish houses of worship in germany they do have police protection and because it was yom kippur today security was higher and that may have been that's what we're hearing in some reports that may have actually been the reason why the congregation was protected exactly exactly that's what the authorities have been saying and also the security system that was installed at the synagogue helped the investigators coastal. a camera surveillance system that also helped to get

footage of the attack we are getting so come in now from the german foreign minister let's take a look at that haiku maass he has been just reacted to the shooting in hala and this is what he tweeted and see if we can bring that up for our viewers he tweeted this that there was a shooting at a synagogue on the reconciliation festival of yom kippur war hits our hearts we all have to fight against anti-semitism in our country my thoughts are with the dead and injured their relatives and the police in these difficult hours. maximillian of what or of the work he's doing now to protect jewish communities here in germany well 1st of all it is his to have reported that the authorities are saying that the rabbi situation as it was going on through the afternoon has been ended that citizens of hala and the surrounding area safe to go in the streets

again the security system for these synagogues around the saxony and i was the federal state where hollows located half in high send and also in other areas around germany abets now this has become a matter of national security so the public federal prosecutor has been taken over the investigations because they see this as a case of national security and see the. killings that have been happening today in holland as a matter of. their authority and also this is now become a matter of the federal government so the federal interior minister horse able for has already given out a statement on how he considers this attack an anti semitic attack and he's already updating the german chancellor and government and it is getting international its engine is well we've heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has called the attack in hollywood today another and i'm

quoting here another manifestation of anti-semitism in europe so he said he said that before about the risks to jews living in europe how hard is that risk for jews living here in germany well under semitic attacks in germany have been on the rise so there have been police reports for police reports have been saying that they have recorded more attacks that were specifically scanned in a phobic a or and to some mistake in motivated and this is something that has developed especially in the last couple years in germany and that is also why security measures have been heightened for and cynical place of prayer and also for. other jewish institutions like schools. and the german government had also in stilton representatives to deal with on december tism just with the new government that was formed last year now. to morrow was actually the day that there was an anti-semitic

conference scheduled with the attendance of the interior minister and the representative and also the head of the jewish communities here in germany and they have cancelled this event now and that is has been cancelled they have now canceled it because they're all now travelling to hala tomorrow if it turns out that indeed for right motive is a stablished for what we saw today in. what does that say then about the threat of new your nazis in the country and your people around the world are going to be asking is there are we seeing a re resurgence of the of nazis here there has been a resurgence of neo nazi in germany and you have seen that very. representative lee focus on poll last year in the riots in cam it's where me and nazis and right wing. motivated people have gone through the streets and have caused a riot because of killing by somebody with a foreign backgrounds and this is something that the domestic intelligence services

want to tackle now so there has been a lot of criticism towards how authorities in germany are handling this and the german government has said it wants to tackle this issue more right over use my civilian approaches finking we appreciate the latest on this thank you. are going to return now to our other breaking news story turkey that started the military offensive in northern syria against kurdish militants reports from the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say that airstrikes are being carried out there and there is quote a huge panic among the people earlier their spokesman said this does not go to the kind of a get out in the job of turkey's trying through these attacks to open new lands for the mercenaries of these state and is trying to lengthen the life of these groups we do not agree with any attacks by turkey or by the people supporting it and the

world knows the reason behind the attack on northeastern syria therefore we call on human rights organizations and all democratic countries the european union and united nations to take a stance against the turkish attack anyone that is not moving against the turkish attack is considered a supporter of it. yet the lot of us are the ones out of that. we want to bring in our russia correspondent really show we now she's on the story for us in moscow good evening to you and believe me there have been reports that the kurds have already contacted moscow asking for some cover as they face this assault by the turks has that been a can you confirm that there from where you are has there been official reaction from moscow to what happened today. well i can confirm whether they're kurds have asked moscow for support what i can tell you is that the moscow has had historically close ties to the kurds but i think that trust for moscow among the

kurds is probably not too high after all last year basically russia gave the go the go ahead to turkey to launch airstrikes in the afrin region which was kurdish controlled at the time and that really kind of was a blow to trust among kurds there were even some protests kind of against that action and against against moscow's reaction to what was happening but the statement that we've seen now has been rather neutral no mention of the kurds there the kremlin put out a statement just before the operation the military operation was launched saying that president putin and president everyone had had a telephone call that everyone had actually called putin and that putin had warned and kind of cautioned airto on to not do anything that could throw the peace process in syria off course and to kind of be careful with their actions there in syria they've been really pushing for peace on the ground civil be watching very

closely and experts here the even saying that moscow will be pushing for turkey to kind of limit this operation you know we proceeded earlier one praising roger calling russia. constructive when it comes to visit incursion and what exactly does iran mean by that. you're constructive and the 2 to russia. well it seems to me that the russians can't be too happy about this operation that's happening in the northeast of syria they've been as i said very much pushing for the peace process to kind of have some tangy tangible progress they've been talking about the formation of a constitutional committee of rewriting the syrian constitution that's very much been the russian line so this is kind of throwing all of that off course and we also heard from the head of the international affairs committee in the upper house

of parliament today who said that this operation will hardly have a positive effect on the region so it seems like the russians aren't really too much on side but they do seem to be willing to compromise with turkish interests and just earlier this month the kremlin spokesperson for example said that they understand that turkey has to pursue its national interests when it comes to fighting against terrorists so that could be the constructive attitude that aired on this referring to there. this week by u.s. president trump vets he is withdrawing u.s. forces from syria that is certainly exactly what. has wanted to hear or isn't. well certainly i think the russians will be happy to have one less force to kind of worry about on the ground and to be kind of officially made the main mediator the main negotiator on the

ground in syria in the peace process going forward after all if u.s. troops are withdrawn that kind of means that they have less legitimacy i think the negotiating table going forward as well and that's been very important for vladimir putin to kind of present russia as an important mediator an important player in this peace process in syria and important person an important player on the world stage as well. we know that already has troops in syria even many times we've reported we've talked about the danger of the u.s. forces clashing with russian forces over syria but what about turkish forces and russian forces now is there a risk that those 2 will actually collines. well i think the close relations between turkey and russia and even indeed this phone conversation that we saw today show how closely the 2 countries are cooperating on the syria conflict

despite the fact that they are actually on opposite sides of the conflict russia after all supporting syrian government forces and turkey is supporting the opposition but of course there is a danger and in fact when it comes to russian backed syrian forces and turkish forces there have been clashes this year earlier this year in the it live region for example so that is a danger but there also has been a statement today from the turkish defense ministry saying that they will make sure that the force on the ground will make sure that they won't harm allied troops in this operation so it does seem that turkey is really trying to avoid stepping on russia's toes when it comes to this operation and keeping them on side. sure when with the latest tonight from moscow it really is always think you. all right what about the kurds are they experience you right now to talk about them

i'm joined by keano gabriele he is the spokesman for the d.s.s. the kurdish forces in syria you know welcome to the program tell me what are your people experiencing right now. hello good evening was very little. chaos and i think there is nothing specially in the areas that have been. tried and shared by the turkish army during the last few hours we have several casualties several kid and others wounded mostly from the civilian population and i think that created a lot of fear among the people about the gains in other areas looks a bit far from the border the. we are the last continuous i think laws and there are a lot of people who are trying to support.
