to you on the studio and on the ground in holland is our reporter rebecca meyer good day to both of you rebecca if we go to you 1st apparently there are now 11 people dead what are the latest details the latest thing that has occurred is that one of the one of the people who was wounded in the shooting overnight has succumbed to their injuries raising the death toll from the shooting at the 2 shisha bars now the shooting started at 10 o'clock last night here in the city of hono the sugar 1st targeted a shisha part that is behind me here in the downtown area before fleeing in a car and driving to another section of the city and also shooting outside of a 2nd shisha bar there. i was shooting skills of cattle of 9 people the. go ahead were better launched launched the massive manhunt as well as our launched

a massive manhunt as well police have been searching all throughout the night looking for the suspect they said that they eventually found him he was found dead and his home as well as with alongside of other bodies there are no additional details released about that just yet. but that is currently the latest the latest stand ok do we know anything about the identity of the victims or the shooter. police have not released any of that information just yet more information will be made available throughout the day this is still very much an ongoing very active investigation many of the 2 crime scenes are still very fresh we do know is that local media and also from what i've seen here on the ground this is this is absolutely an area with a strong immigrant community local media reported that. members of the kurdish community particularly and this particular younger members of the kurdish community

enjoyed frequenting bars that were targeted in this attack. ok anything else about that were targeted and their customers. yes so we so they're there like i said earlier there hadn't been too much information just yet on exactly who these victims are. and exactly from you know exactly more information about about their community or whatnot but i did speak with with with some of their relatives some of the people who live around here and it's a close community it's it's one that where where this is what this is really really hit home for a lot of people a lot of the people who this impact live right here in the street this is this is not this this is a neighborhood place where people came to to gather so this is definitely this is

definitely hit this community very hard ok hans the locations where the victims were targeted there are cold she should bars also called bars what can you tell us about them generally well in fact this is a form of entertainment i think we you can call it a kind of a bar or a place where people go in the evenings that has become very popular in germany especially here in berlin in recent years where people go and community smoke water pipes smoke flavor tobacco it's mostly a something that is widespread in the middle east and i think it started here in germany amongst the turkish community but has become very popular amongst amongst young says among students young people like that but what can also say that many of these who could launch is especially here in berlin and in the west of germany around the area. have been the scene of a lot of crime many of the criminal families that we have in germany the so-called

arab clans seem to organize or run these these places to smoke sometimes as sort of alcohol sometimes that. and so there's been a lot of police raids on such a local launches in recent years. partly to suppress criminality party just simply to check whether they are sticking to the law or not they could you give us an idea of the dimensions of the shooting it's certainly one of the deadliest in germany in years when was the last time we saw something like this the most recent comparable incident was in 2016 in the city of munich where a young man went on the rampage and shot and killed 10 people eventually including himself today we are talking of of 11 victims including the probable perpetrator so it's those kind of dimensions. a little bit further away i have seen

a couple of shootings at schools in germany where more than a dozen people were killed but this is certainly an attack the extent of which is very rare in germany rebecca what will police be investigating and looking into concentrating on in the hours ahead. well absolutely i think nailing down what the motive was behind this this sudden shooting this sudden and. and impactful shooting that has that hit the city they haven't released any information yet they've been extremely careful that they think that they're following up on all the leads. local media have reported. that there were there was a raid that was carried out on the property where the alleged shooter was believed to have lived and that they found certain weapons in the in the shooter's car as

well so there obviously and there were also reports that the person. also had a hunting license as well so i think that they'll be following if those reports bear to be true we would find out later in a police conference but they would they would be they would be following up on those leads the to be following up on on coming up with with an idea about why the person committed this this this crime ok rebecca more from rebecca as details come in now and here in the studio. thanks to both of you this morning let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news to you has unveiled a strategy for regulating controversial artificial intelligence technology ai and the 27 member states commission president ursula fall in line is calling for strict oversight of the sector saying they are must comply with people's privacy rights. a

lawyer for julian a song says the trumpet ministration made an offer to pardon the wiki leaks founder in a 2017 if you agree to say russia was not involved in leaking democratic party e-mails during the 2016 presidential campaign the white house has said there's no truth to that claim. prince harry and his wife megan are to carry out their final duties as active royals in late february and march that according to british media their decision to step down means they will no longer have an office at buckingham palace as of april the 1st. or us president donald trump has named his country's ambassador to germany richard grinnell to be the acting director of national intelligence you know as a staunch supporter of the president's policies his new position puts him in charge of the nation's 17 spy agencies but critics say he has no intelligence

experience as acting director grinnell would not have to be confirmed by the senate . let's get more on this now with did abuse or washington correspond all over solid and warns you all over what's behind the president's move to name now as the acting director of these powerful spying agencies. or run that's a key position in the white house and you really can consider this move to be something like a reward for richard grinnell's duty in berlin as the ambassador to germany of the united states you know critics have seen him a something like president trump's agate tater in berlin but he certainly also will the very polarizing figure he was isolated in berlin as well you know diplomatically as well as the german government but then at the same time president trump praised him over and over again for his job and particularly because of how he interpreted his position there isn't better he wasn't really acting like

a diplomat he essentially tried to tell the germany german government there what to do criticizing threatening at times whenever essentially the german policy was not in president trumps interests and so we even had some critical voices here today from democratic lawmakers who said that that's elevating trump's lapdog as one lawmaker said and that shows that the republicans care more about loyalty than national security obviously tackling the fact that richard grenell has no experience in intelligence spots on the other hand for trump he's a loyalist and someone he can really count on ok oliver will be back with you in just a bit to talk about a major debate as the u.s. democratic party has hold its 9th presidential debate wednesday night with the top 6 candidates facing off on stage and say why for the nomination to take on president trump in this year's election the former mayor of new york city

billionaire michael bloomberg appeared in his 1st debate after rising sharply in the polls the better came just days before voters in the state of nevada go to the polls in the 3rd contest of the democratic party's primary success. and i'm a philanthropist who didn't inherit his money but made his money. and i'm spending money to get rid of donald trump the worst president we have ever had and if i can get tacked on it will be a great contribution to america and to my kids ok michael bloomberg bird they're throwing down the gauntlet how do you do in his 1st presidential debate he's quite an unusual candidate and that money he spent in his ads some $300000000.00 more than all the other candidates is all his own money so he doesn't except that he did nations in he's not planning to accept donations in the future so the democratic

national committee had to change the rules for him to be allowed to the debate tonight and he will certainly attacked for that and criticized by all the other contenders a century there were arguing that bloomberg is trying to buy the election he was criticized there for his wealth for on release tax returns also for how his company treated women and it was his 1st debate and you could really tell that he was lacking experience on the on the on the debate stage but on the other hand his ads seem to work and he's currently the 3rd strongest candidate right after bernie sanders and joe biden ok bernie sanders joe biden what were some of the take for you from the debate in light of these other candidates the 5 other challengers. right well it was a very fiery debate more fiery than recent debates perhaps and that is also because it's just a few days until the nevada caucus and super tuesday is around the corner that's

certainly a watershed moment because some of the most populous us states will vote on the democratic candidate and interesting bernie sanders and sternly the leader in polls was not necessarily the person most at tact you're on the stage 2 everyone else was rather focusing on groom bergen in addition the candidates took on each other like amy cole bush are against people who to judge elizabeth warren had a strong performance but the real winner perhaps you are today was bernie sanders who was really able to sell his progressive ideas and nobody was really hindering him ok all over thanks much for that from washington. so that come on our show we take a look at what's in store at this year's for the in the film festival which opens in a few hours of time and we'll tell you why this year's of that will be different from anything that has come before. but 1st 2 elderly passengers from

a cruise ship in japan have died after being infected with the coronavirus the japanese government's facing mounting criticism force apparent failure to contain the virus after keeping the passengers of the diamond princes in quarantine for 2 weeks it seems that effort to stop the spread of the virus failed analysts are calling the quarantined operation a disaster. a floating prison that was how some on board have described the diamond princess know after testing negative for the corona virus some of those held captive have finally been allowed to leave the quarantine ship to their obvious relief. recuperated i was so frightened every time they made announcements about infections there were so many of them and i wondered if wait the next. many already had their minds on home and creature comforts. i want to take

a bath and sleep. i want to take it easy and eat some of the. but an expert on infectious disease control who had earlier been invited on board to inspect the ship's response to the virus warned that the quarantine had been far from affective. it was completely cerdic and. some crews had a fever day and went to the medical center while wearing and 95 mask but he didn't have any protection between she's room and medical room he says he was worried about catching the virus while on board and said stuff had failed to take adequate measures to halt its spread. inside pieces that i want. scared i was so scared of getting caught. because there was no

way to tell where the pharisee is no green zone no red zone everybody could have and everybody was not careful about it when the ship arrived in new york hama 10 passengers tested positive for the virus 2 weeks later more than 600 had been infected japan's government defended its response. with the urgency of the current situation japan has taken full measures to ensure prevention of the spread of infection taking into consideration human rights and humanitarian needs cooperating with the relevant nations and taking appropriate measures 6. 1000 remain on board the diamond princess for some of those evacuated on land the journey is far from over they still face up to 2 weeks quarantine in their home countries. but for others back under their own roof like the old commuters from kiel to the simple act of turning on the kitchen tap is reason enough to rejoice. turkish president.

don't know where i'm going i just want to get on the road stay under an olive tree what am i supposed to do where my supposed to go. there or. not to turkey if turkish president add one has his way in the tech capital ankara he said it's just a matter of time until turkey intervenes because that is your proof your record we are no making our last warnings unfortunately we have not been able to reach the desired result so far during our talks in turkey in russia and in the field meanwhile russia tried to tone down the rhetoric while defending syrian government forces who it says are being targeted by taki he is just a letter a leader of the syrian armed forces respond to these unacceptable provocations confirming that the hearings and the initial agreements on the lips including cease fire agreements and we support them and. with.

a country still deep in war people here desperately looking for refuge meanwhile a startling contrast domestic flights that started up again to aleppo for the 1st time in a is just like back in peace times a sign of normality only it's anything but. well desperate migrants making a dangerous crossing an all too familiar scene on the mediterranean w. has been getting a closer look at a rescue operation to help some of the people. one of our reporters is with the rescue vessel ocean viking off the libyan coast on its 3rd message mission within just 48 hours it took up more than 90 margarets some of them infants and small children there are now about $300.00 migrants on board the ocean by great viking and although they are lucky to be alive they face an uncertain future. earlier

w.'s mandrax or sent us his impressions of the rescue missions that he witnessed onboard the vessel well the latest rescue mission was really tough weather conditions were challenging we had strong wind sent to now 3 metre high waves when we approached the rubber boat the we saw that was a severely overcrowded. people with 21 the women and 28 miners we had 3 women who are pregnant and the driver of the fast rescue boat. where i was. he did i think it just traveled good credible job because it's pretty hot. to bama the city has basically bowed so that the refugees would come over from their boat. it wasn't a dangerous situation because if you hit the boat all the refugees there both could

break that rip that refugees would have felt fell afoul of the water so the rescue operation occurred near an oil platform and there was also other ships present but no one did anything you have to make sure that somebody is taking care of those refugees the doctors are taking care of them and i think the medics also reporting in i think this is immune to. mation the medics are reporting having seen from violence related injuries that patients report having been sustained during their time in b.b.'s so this is another proof that you know those people who left libya that they had no other possibility to do anything else that there was nothing else that they did that they could. use new drugs or they're all the berlin film festival the ballet knowledge gets under way and in just a few hours time now this year there's been a few significant changes behind the scenes it's also the 70th anniversary of the
