spoke to reporters his where she said. and beyond more to the right of the apartment unfortunately today on your holiest day we have witnessed something terrible the theme 40 people have lost their lives there was an attack on jews in germany. though it's not my goal and that of the government is to do everything possible to ensure that you can live in safety but this stage shows us that this is not so simple and that we must use even more. were police have arrested a suspect in the how the shootings he's reported to be a 27 year old german man with a right wing extremist background now at 1st police thought that several people had carried out the attacks the native decided it was just one man who acts as a liar. the midday attack filmed by

a resident in holland the video shows a man dressed in combat type gear climbing out of a car and firing off a series of shots. a few streets away eyewitnesses recount how a woman was shot in front of the synagogue there of the 1st there was a huge bang and then someone tried to get into the jewish cemetery who fired several times with a shotgun at the cemetery at the door. and then the woman came along the one who was shot she just came along from the tram stop quite by chance. this in a god was full when it was targeted was shippers with celebrating judaism's holiest festival of young kapoor an attacker trying to shoot the synagogue door open a jewish leader says the reinforced structure withstood the onslaught. close by a man was killed as a donna combat shop also came under attack. i was standing right in the entrance

and saw an older woman pass to show. suddenly a man came up behind her dressed in a helmet and army things or at least very military looking. he was holding a rifle and had a balaclava on. he tried to throw what looked like a hand grenade into the shop. but also in the hunt but it bounced off the door frame and went off right in front of the old woman with a really loud bang. and he raised the rifle and began shooting. police said shots were also find in landsberg a town 15 kilometers from halla but it wasn't clear whether the 2 incidents were related soon after police arrested a person outside talor who is reported to be a 27 year old white german male with a rightwing extremist background. well here in the studio with me a political correspondent william know at blue cross good to see you william no

instead he spoke to someone who was in the cynical community affairs my 1st question is how is everyone who was inside doing now yeah so everyone inside the synagogue is physically doing very fine obviously very shaken i spoke with a man who led a mostly american delegation of of jews thrum berlin to support this aging community their group of young jews and they wanted to be there for for young people who are she said that following the attack they actually spent about 10 minutes in a safe area and then went right back to resuming prayer services finish that and then about an hour after that about 4 pm in the afternoon after about 4 hours following this attack that's when police took about 90 minutes to escort them out of the synagogue and brought them to a hospital be checked where they were all basically checked out and found to be fine released and most of them want to get out of there want to go home back to berlin absolutely understandable that from what you said i mean a terrifying experience but everybody seemed to react in

a way that seemed very calm which kind of poses the question would they prepared something like this well prepared or not the witness was telling me that he was really impressed with the leadership of this and that as soon as that 1st boom of the pops were heard and the police were called they immediately got everyone out of the sanctuary upstairs told them to keep their heads down so it seems very orderly situation given that given given the situation nonetheless a very terrifying one for everyone involved that that terrorist definitely something and the shock is something that was reflected by the head of the central central council for jews here in germany which we have a clip of. yes well i'm sure. it was and still is shocking. on the one hand we're seeing a new quality and that is horrible. but it's a development that and we use jews have warned against in recent months.

we are seen a shift to right wing extremism in society often say extremists it feels to me that words are followed by actions of force and i don't see it as an isolated case that just happened. but as a clear and direct development. and he had even harsher words to say after that calling the lack of police presence at the synagogue on a day especially as important to pour as a scandal he called that the lack of action to be negligent on the part of the police so this is definitely a question that there was only one private security guard on duty at the time. yeah absolutely i mean he also said as well that he talked about that kind of warning from the community i mean just finesse in a little bit about anti semitism in germany of late this is a major question in germany right now you look at the numbers and sometimes the numbers are going up if you look at the last few years the numbers are going up if

you zoom out more the last decade or even beyond that the numbers have done more of a wave sometimes up sometimes down and of course in that time period reporting has changed the kinds of questions that people are asking this change the amount of focus that german media that german government institutions that can german security forces are focusing on this issue have changed so all of that affects the numbers of makes it very hard to see how much of a problem is this but that said there is definitely much more attention being put on not only anti-semitism but far right violence against all kinds of groups and minorities and there's a lot more feeling that there's something there something a riot here in german society they're very much needs to be dealt with i mean. last week we have there were a long report coming out about all the intelligence and law enforcement failures that allowed the national socialist underground to go on a murder spree for almost a decade in the early 2000 so that's just one example of many many many that germany is grappling with i'm dealing with right wing extremism the right political
