so for a practical reason they shouldn't be a death penalty because it doesn't make a difference of course also for the ethical moral reasons i think the state should not be in the business of killing its own citizens for any reason that's used to roam but jones disagrees he wants justice for the murders of his 2 sons and he wants to live with his family without fear in his own neighborhood what is with the families of the living with you know apple has removed an app that protest as in hong kong have used to track police movement it comes off to criticism by the chinese communist party's official newspaper the people's daily of this week the tech giant say the crowdsourcing app h.-k. mapped out for live violated its terms and that it's been used in ways that endangered law enforcement and the residents of hong kong the developers of the aft disagree with that statement. the up in the app store had been used by hong kong demonstrators to track the location of police now following pressure from china

where there is shock after an anti-semitic attack on the synagogue in the eastern city off the jenin president from my has been visiting the scene of the attack he said germany had a responsibility to protect people living in the country a heavily armed gunman tried to force his way into the synagogue on wednesday but was prevented from entering the event shot and killed a bystander in the street before killing and the other person at a nearby shop. right with me in studio is our political correspondent thomas farah he's going to be standing by but for now we'll take you away we're waiting for the federal prosecutors press statement. it's steam. and. that's what. what we do yesterday was terror. according to our in science.

the accused yesterday said him self the target to do damage to the jewish community in how they to cause a massacre her staff and leave a person who apparently was kind of traded by anti-semitism in a turn rising forum and characterized by a phobia. had you picked up arms armed himself heavily with arms he had built himself and equipped himself with large amounts of explosives in his car alone approximately 4 kilograms of explosives were found. equipped with several triggering devices. and his plan was to go to the synagogue in order to kill numerous people. he saw himself in

a tradition. comparable to traitors friend of terror and the murderer of christ church. defense according to what we know and if it. wanted to to have a global effect and this is why he filmed what he did lie and always comments he commented what he was doing while he was doing it and he published a money festo and his plan online in advance. stefan be avoided enough. according. to he wanted to do. copy in a double sense he wanted to copy. what had been done before and according to our insights he also wanted to inspire others to copy his crime.

beauty often stephon be just thought we have issues stashed on be. what he did you're all aware of it so we accuse him of double murder annoying face attempted murder not in 9 cases as well as other cry in a minute that we have applied for an arrest warrant on is the law of the federal government carte stephanie you will see the investigative judge here. at the court to see if we have searched the apartment size of the accused on to currently the items found there. i mean i think it's just like the weapons and the explosives are being examined and of course there are many questions to be asked to call many questions so and how could it be that such a person equaled radicalized in such a way through how could it be that someone be decided to do what he did yesterday this off the shelf and when and how often did he moan and purchase his weapons how

did he manage to build weapons and explosives himself how did he get his hands on all the material to me you didn't was he supported by others. are there others who knew the crime mates or the other is maybe even on the line he was in contact with in advance or since who probably a lot of aided him. and this is what we will investigate and to that and that because of the call but he got so it is required to shed light on his entire carmina cation and it we are to examine one video that he carried out on the dark net in advantages that sides in the investigations will take some time. as of today we can to give you a clear answer to all the questions and this is why i would like to ask you for your understanding that. in order not to harm the investigations i cannot give you

further details and maybe won't be able to answer some of your questions thank you very much for your understanding. your minute i'm. looking at live pictures from the city of cultural wage of unease chief prosecutor pay to frank has been talking to the media as he said he will not be taking any questions correspondent thomas spare is with me now in the studio thomas what do you make of what we've just heard from the chief prosecutor i would divide that statement into on the one hand what is already know and then one of the main questions that authorities still have to answer the 1st part of what authorities really know is actually stream really shocking the you've just heard that statement there saying that stephan be the person who was arrested actually wanted to damage the jewish community you wanted massacre he was heavily armed with arms he built himself he had 4 kilograms of explosives in his car and he wanted to have

a global effect and that is why authorities believe that he filmed well what it what exactly happened on the heels of publish that money festo or 9 he wanted to copy what others had already done specifically mentioned the attack in christchurch but he also wanted to inspire other people so extremely shocking the details here of what already is i've known at the same time we just what questions are still unanswered and i think the biggest question is how did he radicalize how did he acquired those weapons and those explosives and what i already mentioned a few minutes ago whether there was a network around him who else knew about this i think there will also be questions on on the work done by authorities we just heard as well that he had published his money festo online in advance so there will be probably some people asking well if it was published in advance why didn't authorities react. in order to prevent this

from happening thomas you specialize in security you know cases like this so what will be officials be doing right now is with the prosecution saying the investigation is continuing what would they be doing away with baby girls when they went already to to his apartment they already took some communications and some objects from that apartment they will be looking specifically at that and it was also clear from that press statement they will be looking into his communications that is absolutely vital in order to understand whether there was a network surrounding him and who else knew about this case so this will probably be 2 of the key elements that authorities will be looking into we know to to try and odds of these question that we've already discussed and as we just heard from that statement it will probably be something that will take some time it is not something that is a very quick way to get answers from trying to actually look at someone's communications trying to also look at the objects that were taken from that apartment trying to talk to other witnesses trying to talk to people that surrounded this individual this is something that will take some time ok but we are

talking about assessed in life and is able to talk i mean would talk to us about the questioning that might be taking place there is he obligated to answer questions austrian by the police some of these questions that we're just talking about here will probably also be asked by officials when they talk to to staff and be there as officials have already now presented as we just heard an arrest warrant they will have officially ordered his arrest until now he was actually detained preemptively but now he has been officially arrested they have been charges drawn against him we saw it as well double more the double murder attempted murder among other possible crimes as well and authorities are going to be looking into these into answering these possible questions that we've just discussed here the final question is also the motive in why he actually did this this is something that authorities already yesterday mention of the beginning they were looking into that possible motive and it is something that even now when they've got more details about this they will continue to look into specifically addressing the questions

that we already heard a few minute. so how did he radicalize how did he acquire the weapons and the explosives and who surround who surrounded this person and whether we can talk of just some people knowing about his possible crimes or where we're the world's talking about a bigger network thomas i want to bring you back to to that motive because a lot of people looking at the story perhaps even outside of germany would be wanting to get a sense of the anti semitic motive and how much this is a factor in all of this what is the state of anti-semitism in germany as we speak it is a big problem in germany i would certainly describe it like that and it is by the way also described in that way by german officials who have seen a rise in incidents in the country in recent years and who as a result of also put in practice a series of measures including germany's 1st anti-semitism commission a task with precisely trying to understand these cases but we're talking here about cases in in germany a country that is so conscious of its historical responsibility so conscious of its

past this is something that authorities have mentioned also in the past when talking about his images in the country that yes it is not only a problem in germany but it is a particular problem in germany given the country's history and as such not only the german government but also the german states and i would also add the german population of a big responsibility in trying to make sure the jewish life in the country is protected as much as possible or a state of a correspondent. and the reaction to that press that we've just seen coming out of course will be tapping into more of what you know as we get it now 24 hours have now poss the attack took place in and the country is now searching it so off to a rampage that began on the doorstep of a synagogue his some off the reactions of. the emotion and tension with us german president congress time my own joint a jewish community and a day after the deadly attack i took to synagogue. you could

shoot them our guns history is a reminder of our present as a challenge and we must take sides so. does images were filmed yesterday by a resident they showed a standoff between police and a month dressed in combat type gear shortly after a gunman killed 2 people need a city's synagogue. up the 1st there was a huge bang and then someone tried to get into the jewish cemetery and 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 to synagogue was full when it was attacked young people the holiest day of the jewish calendar had brought together between $70.80 worshippers isurava x.-men and americans freshly arrived in germany was one of them. i think the energy was was fairly calm given

the situation today i feel more kind of. just because people were killed but yesterday it was more about just kind of being really think for a kind of america that you couldn't get through the door and that like a much bigger tragedy was. didn't happen. to synagogue didn't open but the attacker then turned his gun to its passers by killing another man at a restaurant the suspect was captured by police outside he's a 27 year old german citizen in a video the alleged killer ranted against foreign news women and jews beaches were held at synagogues across germany chancellor angela merkel showed his support for the jewish community in berlin there was an attack on jews in germany. though it's not my goal and that if the government is to do everything possible to ensure that

you can live in safety. at this stage shows us that this is not so simple and that we must do even more. in the wake of the attack many questions remain not least what could have been done to prevent it from happening. now the nobel prize for literature has been awarded to to all this from austria and olga talk from poland. no novels include flights from 2007 and she has been named the went up for last year in an announcement that was delayed until now that today was due to a sexual assault scandal at the royal swedish academy which confers awards meanwhile $29.00 teams prize has gone to paper well known as a novelist playwright and translator. i'm joined now by our in-house. culture department good to have you here current so how much of

a surprise would the selections have to give you my honest opinion i think in some ways these aren't surprising choices because they are people who have been touted as possible winners before especially peter hunter for many many years on the other hand and of course with. many feel that she's an excellent choice she's as i've said before quite a quite a young writer in comparison to some of the people who've been on the list for longer. and possibly also good very good candidates but she is definitely a strong candidate so there's no surprise in that sense but i think it's a surprising choice in general 1st of all this is 2 european writers one of whom is a man and very much sort of from an older establishment i mean we can talk about him a bit more in a 2nd but i mean this comes just days after they said that they wanted to privilege diversity. and get away from their eurocentric and very male oriented past so i don't really see this as fitting that bill ok so. given that and you're echoing the

sentiment of many critics critics would be looking at this decision why would the academy award this you know they have these very interesting. i always love the descriptions of why authors have been chosen i mean the other took a shock obviously for her wit and cunning and kind of the fact that she that she very much focuses on on sort of local life in her stories that she she's been praised for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life after this is a literature of looking for ideas they love to sort of make these very flowery claims peter hunka is someone who's been quite controversial over the years. among other things because he was because he criticized the western position in the nato bombing of yugoslavia for instance also made a speech at the funeral of slobodan milosevic and that's earned him. people have called him an apologist for serbian part far right nationalism in the past so

interesting choices i mean with cotch of she's somebody who is a very much a public intellectual and an activist in poland very much appreciated for her criticism of the country's right wing regime in fact she has made some statements about. poland having also had responsibilities for atrocities during world war 2 that earned her incredible incredible criticism from far right patriots and she even had to actually employ some bodyguards for a while so i mean very very interesting individuals their works for instance the novel flights you mentioned is about travel in the 21st century really anecdotal very very interesting form and quite innovative and peter i guess the 1st one of his to be published in english was the goalie's anxiety about the panic penalty kick which has been compared to come in i mean just going back to why we had to win is announced this year right so following last year scandal this is an academy that's been trying to repair. through some rocky yet so so i mean what are these

winners tell us about that if it well i think essentially there needs to be more transparency and i don't really see that happening with these winners i mean obviously we know that the academy is incredibly secretive about its lists i mean the those lists of nominees i think are kept under wraps for up to 50 years so we won't know until 50 years from now apparently if they if they don't change the rules we won't know until 50 years from now who else was actually on this list for either year so. the transparency is one of the things that i think they're being called to improve they've brought in some outside jury members there are they're going to hopefully they are definitely working on a code of conduct whether that is going to be enough really with these choices to clean up there i don't i don't think they're looking very credible at this point in time and they've got more work to do appreciate your insight. thank you.

president which of type or one has national international criticism of his offensive in northeastern syria he singled out the european union which has called on him to cease his offensive he has what president at once it. you can use a white cop oh say it again. if you try to describe our operation is an invasion and then we'll all get in the door. and send 3600000 migrants to you. it's as simple as. regulated. now the e.u. is not the only one criticizing the turkish offensive in northern syria u.s. president donald trump now say is turkey's assault is quote a very bad idea even though it was his withdrawal of u.s. troops that way for the turkish attack.

artillery and aerial bombing light up the sky as turkish troops continue their offensive in northeast syria. they're not getting takis plan to carve out a buffer zone along the border and to move against their longtime enemy the kurdish led syrian democratic forces could say several civilians and soldiers have already died in the assault and they claim turkish bombs that struck a prison holding fighters from the so-called islamic state. retaliates restrikes came from within syria. some hitting homes on the turkish side of the border. turkish president rejects edda one of a so the start of what he calls operation peace spring it's an offensive made possible by washington's decision to clear the way by withdrawing u.s. troops we were put into this battle it projected it was supposed to be

a 3030 day period and we've been there for many many years and it's time to get out we're speaking to both. we've told the president her to go on how we feel but we are speaking to us and we're seeing what can be made out of a situation both the u.s. and turkey belong to nato it's caution. i count on turkey to act with restraints. and sure that in the action it may take in northern syria it's proportionate and measured. we must block jeopardize the gains we have made together against our common enemy isis but the residents of northeast syria aren't counting on words to save them they're escaping the border towns by any means possible for some it's only been a few years since they fled from the advance of ai ass now they're back on the road

with no clear destination. it's now 2 historic moment in conservative iran set to play out during the football world cup qualifying clash there later today women will be in the stands during the match between the country's national side and cambodia that's off to the iranian regime announced it would partially relax a ban on women attending men's football but while the move has been bombed by many international observers religious hardliners in iran of why sing their dissatisfaction was with change in iran comes inevitable friction the recent decision to begin allowing women to attend men's football matches in the islamic republic has provoked protest including from some of the women for the right to watch life has been extended. the. mall domani and that as shiite muslim women are not at all happy about this because the

dignity of muslim women will not be attacked here that this has a major impact on us as the dignity of muslim women can be preserved if they enter an atmosphere that is specific to men most as our you know that they get it the ban is as old as the iranian regime but under pressure from fee for all thirty's have given assurances that women will be allowed to attend games starting this week with thursday's world cup qualifier against cambodia some accuse football's governing body of meddling that's what exactly does a foreign organization have to interfere in the affairs of a muslim country anyway i just 3500 tickets were set aside for women who sections in the 78000 seater as a big stadium in tehran iran state run news agency says they sold out in a matter of minutes but probably just hardliners that's 3500 tickets to many as monday's demonstration outside parliament in tehran made clear. and
