germany who was able to put us up to date to what we know so far in fact i'll bring in all cars political correspondent thomas sparrow here in now to perhaps put us up to speed with what we know so far and perhaps what we can expect in hell it is important press conference coming up now with germany's interior minister and as you say we are expecting some more details not only regarding the investigation but also about the political impact of all this because when it comes to the investigation as such there was also today another press conference in a different city in cars would where the german federal prosecutors had actually been speaking about this this case and they gave shocking details about about their investigation what they've been able to identify so far the fact that the suspect who is now under formal the rest had. many weapons had explosives and wanted to also create a lot of damage so we know that from the federal prosecutors they were also mo

details from them and they also express what they don't know what they're investigating now in particular how this person was able to radicalize how he acquired the weapon and the explosives and what type of networks there are around him so that's what we know from the investigation as such what we now expecting from germany's jiri minister is also about the political impact on the political reaction there he's not the 1st person to go to the german president does time i who is germany's head of state was also there expressing his solidarity mentioning that is the state responsibility is to try and ensure a jewish life in the country and you've also heard from german chancellor angela merkel today as well ok and just remind that leon looking at that press briefing in the end our correspondent. is actually there call we saw the instant to minister set then we can expect that any moment from now we will be hearing from them just give us a scene setter right who is there with the interior minister at. you know we did

see police brigade pulling up outside and we're expecting him momentarily along with many members of the jewish community jewish leaders that includes the president of the central council for jews in germany as well as the leader of the jewish world congress and the ombudsman for anti-semitism that's something that's been set up in about the last year or so but we did hear in fact that i missed as a offer was delayed not only because it was beating of members of the jewish community but also at the kabob shop where one of the victims was killed it sounds like the press conference is about to get underway and we can send it back to you. as president. when you're minutes from now. minister. yesterday we all experienced a terrible day and i can say usually that he and tire alond in the city out the mayor is also present here because you know these sufferers from what we had to

experience yesterday where still shocked us. and the face of the loss of 2 lives lost there are 2 injured still in hospital and almost we are shocked in the face of everything that happened in the jewish synagogue. for us and reviewing the facts at hand so far this is still terrible and we've taken that it will take a long time for us to come to terms with what happened but of course we will also take measures which we have already discussed and initiated. as a consequence of what has happened to the interior minister of saxony and hala to will relate the insights and the facts that have so far. on for the london saxony and how it's i would like to say that the fed. state of saxony i'm home is

an open characterized by a plurality and they respect the dignity as well as the freedom of religion the freedom of religion which is an important asset for us and it's also and tales of our citizens also belonging to the jewish community and how they are and how it. should be able to be safe. in practicing and living their belief and they are a part of our society they are our common citizens and as such they can take it that all possible security measures will be taken in order to guarantee they say in the future as well. last night. in your mind that you know we discussed with the leader of the jewish community here in saxony.

which consequences are to be drawn from the terrible events of yesterday and i would like to summarize it the following was firstly you the society cannot be divided we will stand together and we will demonstrate it at 5 o'clock pm together with this city and other were presented to the. market square and tomorrow we will participate in the service and in the jewish community here. and on the monday at 6 o'clock pm there will be an economical service at the church of the market square and everything that can be done in terms of security will be related by the interior minister i am very grateful that the federal president and the interior minister mr. are supporting us. and demonstrating by their presence that germany takes on their responses. the whole we don't see this

only as a singular event. and this is why mr schuester is also present here. joining ranks we have those who will take the hard here that. together with our citizen jewish community in germany we have to make sure that certain things are excluded and won't happen again and we will take all the actions to that and and in order to do so we have have to discussions also with people affected by the following is very important for me the members of the community in saxony on holland's. will meet. we have candles to form a human chain to express how the citizens of saxony at home feel and they have to be able to feel safe so safe that yesterday's events do not prevent them from

celebrating their church services and live their beliefs because this is a very important asset and we want to demonstrate that jewish life is not only desirable we all know what happened during the whole cost and we are very aware of the responsibility of germany and saxony our homes and now we have jewish communities here as well and they are growing and we want to build to know sanogo and saxony and homes in the next year is in that desk how for example and of course we will provide security measures for that we discussed that today and last remark i applied to the conference of state premiers that will be held over the next few days in bavaria true discuss the topic of standards and homogeneous safety. measures together with all the state criminal in germany and.

to that end. we also want to review the legal issues in such a way that we can actually take measures irrespective of the fact it was if it was an individual perpetrator or not we also want to take a look at everything that is behind the. right wing scene and the extremists here in germany are ready to use violence we want to make sure that they do not attack our. constitution and the inviolability in a human dignity we want to make that sure we have to use the legal framework. existing and maybe we have to close certain gaps we will do that together with the federal government because if we don't i don't think we will be able to progress and also

uses and tales the questions of what happens on the dark matter how is it possible that you can acquire components that you can use in order to build your own weapons weapons that we can use to kill people. and these are issues that are unacceptable for us and we will not rest until we have made progress in that respect and the citizens that feel affected by the dramatic events of yesterday in the synagogue or the u.s. citizens in the future have to be able to trust our nation under the rule of law and to germany as a whole this is something that must not be questioned or that we want to make sure that everybody can live here safely and freely there are young people studying in howie belong to the jewish community and they have felt at ease here and this is a feeling that we want them to have in the few. as well and we do not want

yesterday's events to change that. ladies and gentlemen. it is the president. just adding to what the state premier has just said what happened yesterday makes us sad and shocked and angry. here in our federal state since 2016 in the parliament we have been experiencing political debates that actually make us think about times thought long past it's the way a language is used in the parliament is something that we had not imagined and i personally didn't think it would be possible that once again we would see people who think or believe differently to be killed again or representatives of

our nation to be killed again and those who use that kind of language. are cannot be accused of being accessories to a crime but i do believe that they are intellectual instigators behind that happens and due to the historic responsibility that we have here in germany we have to stand together in a society in such a way that this intellectual kind of instigation cannot happen anymore or that these events do not repeat themselves. now as for what happened yesterday at 12 o 3 am and alarm call was placed in. 112 by of the leader all of the jewish community who is with us here on the panel. who are it was explained that shots have been heard outside. the

alarm calls are recorded and. listen to it again the alarm call that had been placed was then passed on to the police headquarters here at how well we are now at the moment. and. the alarm call was that on the jewish cemetery or near to the jewish cemetery next to the synagogue a person had to be injured by a shot that was 12 o 4 at 1211 the 1st police forces had arrived. unfortunately. it had to be stated that the woman shot had been killed at 1211 the perpetrator was not there anymore so 12 o 3 the alarm call was placed at 1211 the police had arrived. then we can further recon struct events using the camera attached to the helmet of the

perpetrator of this morning i watched scenes of that video which was not very nice but we can use it in order to back up the information gathered from the alarm. using the information from the camera attached to the perpetrators helmets. after 2 and a half minutes after the perpetrator haven't arrived the shot was fired at the woman and after 7 minutes the perpetrator left so he was there are far 7 minutes. around the sun ago then he drove onto lewd big street to a shop. we once again recurrent struck what happened was using the information from the helmet camera. after 11 minutes he had arrived there

at the combat shop after approximately 45 seconds after having arrived at the combat shots he throws an explosive at link about shop and shoots at people. he stays there for 6 minutes at the cop shop and unfortunately we had to register a 2nd person killed at the shop that the perpetrator then climbs into his vehicle police is there at the moment trying to prevent him from escaping the razor shooting between the perpetrator and the police the perpetrator is injured on the neck the police forces remain on injured the police car is damaged in the shooting. and the proper harder than escape.
