one person for example who has a turkish family background you have to understand that poland has the largest turkish community outside of turkey worldwide yes and this person who is himself a german citizen he says i mean i was born he said he i was born here my children were born here i have a turkish family background what the hell sorry for the wording is going on here this is a multi-ethnic society it's a this is a society a color for society with a lot of backgrounds people from all over the world we really have to think about how we want to move on in general with such a strong right wing and right wing and right extremist movement in this country we have a structural problem this is what people are saying. and i think this these terrorist attacks have hit a very raw nerve. absolutely

you know. i just wanted to add i could also talk to. high ranking politicians of the leading parties of the governing parties of the christian democrats and the social democrats here and they said ok today is a moment of mourning but we also have to talk about loss we have to talk about the fact that this person was able to hold legally weapons and do this at last nights and i think this is also a political sick no for the days to come. reporting from brandenburg gate thank you. well the gunman's rampage started last night when the suspected far right extremist walked into to shisha bars in the city of hananiah frankfurt's he targeted people of color and shot them execution style the suspect was a 43 year old german who national police have now identified as toby s. are he said to have later killed his mother and himself in their apartment the

morning after in honolulu residents woke up to speculation that far right extremism motivated attacks in their neighborhood the severity of the incident is being felt far beyond the city strong condemnation from the german chancellor. says racism is poison heater it is poison and this poison exists in our society and it is to blame for far too many crimes already. at 10 o'clock last night local time the shooter opened fire in who khobar and killed 4 people before driving to a 2nd venue where he shot dead 5 more people. the bar owner son describes what happened. it was like a massacre. around page there was blood everywhere people on the ground. my kids and i were in good spirits. i live 100 meters

from here and when i went up stairs i had 567 shots that's what i saw and. i know i was speaking as a silver surfer on the one hand you feel a bit powerless and on the other hand i don't want to call it fear but it's something like that that you have to be afraid to go out on to go to a bar but also a good. many of the victims are believed to be of turkish or kurdish descent. prosecutors say the gunmen had a xena phobic motive following the discovery of a confession letter the attack is being treated as an act of terror the suspect had uploaded a video to you tube a few days earlier in which he expressed his extremist ideology. the suspect along with his 72 year old mother were later found dead in his home. police are

searching the property and seizing items of interest as part of their investigation . he looked out of the window and saw a lot of police offices. around $25.00 to $30.00 with 20 big cars and dogs and they were running around. the attack comes amid growing concerns about far right violence in germany investigations are ongoing. and we can take you now to the crime scene in one hour where we're due to be correspondent kid brady is standing by and with me in the studio to provide analysis is to have used chief political editor mickey a lot want to go 1st straight to the now because the german president just moments ago addressed people at the public during the memorial service kate what did he say . well

a there he repeated again words that we heard again unfortunately not so long ago just a few months ago after that far right extremists extremist terror attack in the eastern city of hama calling on germany to unite saying that we would not be intimidated was a was that he used at the same time the square just a couple of 100 meters away from me hair was filled with hundreds of locals many of them chanting nazis out nazis out and so it's a very clear message here this evening as many of the people who attended the memorial service have now moved on and gathered behind me here which of course is just a few meters away from the scene of that last night at the shisha behind me many of them have been coming to pay their respects to lay down candles and also many of them writing cards and flowers that they've laid close to that police barrier just behind me i can't remind us again what exactly happened last night to shisha bars

normally a very laid back atmosphere what happened what do we know. exactly was just on the street here behind me that the suspect 1st opened fire shortly after 10 pm local time here in hanover and shot dead several people inside this establishment this she should fall behind me the full moving on to a 2nd location a 2nd she should he then fled the scene and with his body along with his mother's body was later found at his home and that was after police managed to trace the getaway car that he used to return to his own home. thanks for reminding us stand by i understand that we have a. firm presence timer what he said earlier let's take a listen to that and then i'm going to ask because that's the way in fact. that's been seen as. let's hear hold enough to know. what happened last night

here in hanoi has left us stunned as not to install when he makes us sob on his mother jones song that kind of makes us angry busker scene is this is what happened was terrible and just what happened is something that we all fear most deeply and losing people who we love dimensions of leaving them. meet scotto nothing can take away our pain and nothing can explain this is a senseless act and nothing can on do it a need to be at sea when you see in. the president forgot to steinmeyer stunned sad and angry i wonder is the political establishment. in the face of these acts but they certainly look pretty helpless here tonight you also call this a brutal act of terrorist violence and you also put it into

a series of individual incidents we've seen here is the killing of by to a regional politician who was pro migration last summer then there was this attack in the eastern town of holland on a synagogue in october where 2 bystanders died because the attacker was not able to get into the church and we heard today the head of investigators association here in germany draw parallels to the christ church attack even he called on everybody there to actually rise to the responsibility that comes from this to stand together in solidarity and to also step in in daily life whenever an individual or minority whenever their dignity is being challenged by somebody else so he's really calling on society to really pull together and oppose this not just here with this extreme terrorist incident that happened tonight but also to take this into david

life because it was behind the rise the intolerance that we've seen in these past couple of months years. the $1000000.00 question we certainly have seen a change in the political debate we have all the mainstream conservative parties but also to the far left pointing the finger side of the today at the far right if tea party and rhetoric which some of them said was part of the kind of poisoning of society that we're seeing the far right if he of course is feels victimized says that this is an instrumental ization of what's happening today against them so i think we're seeing a real political stand. in the making here today this evening we're seeing everybody pretty speechless and still in socket what's happened speechless and in shock let's go to how much you kids where she's standing and near by the crime scene you've been there all day you've talked to people what do they tell you are

are people from their turkish or kurdish community feeling that the german government can take care of them. they certainly don't feel that the german government couldn't take care of them and i think the arrival of the german president from earlier this evening. it was a really proof of that and several people in the crowd who had gathered not only to pay their respects but to see the arrival of the president who were in fact heckling him calling on the german government to implement more measures to tackle far right extremism and many people shouting to steinmeyer when are you going to do something about the nazis when are you going to do something about the far right extremist violence and so at the moment they offer you an extremely disappointed and more so because many of them here many people from the turkish community are german either from being born here or they have jewels citizenship with

a turkish and german passport and it was actually that their grandparents even that moved over to germany back in the fifty's and sixty's as guest workers to help rebuild germany and even now the only generations later many of them still feel excluded and feel that they are not considered to be true germans which of course is part of a much wider political and societal debate that very quickly needs to be addressed in germany right to do have of course my keep reading of reporting from her now and with me here in the studio the chief political editor thank you for spending his evening with me and shit. it's a tragic day in germany and. we are going to continue our coverage with the fact that this country is mourning the victims of the attack near front for world leaders meanwhile have also been expressing their sympathies to close. the government's

rampage has reverberated far beyond germany many of his victims were from turkey president wretch of type offered a message of support. you know my honor. i express my condolences to our expert trades who lost their lives in the german city of hadera last night. i wish patients for their families and friends. i believe that the german authorities will make every effort to shed light on all angles of this attack. european leaders gathered in brussels for a budget summit also offered sympathy and denounced the attacks as i can see it on t.v. we say very clearly that xenophobia and racism have no place in europe and that this despicable and cowardly act is against everything we stand for in europe. too for

my actions i want to express france's support and solidarity and i wish to stand by their sides in this sad time of grief also in the fight against.
