a pregnant mother of 2 was among the dead and people have now been coming together to mourn those who died. fear and disbelief in hanau people gather to stand up to hate and xenophobia one of the mourners germany's president. bush leon there's argument i'm standing with people who are threatened by hate and violence and we're together we stand side by side nightgowns are against violence and language and that degrades and excludes people. that all too often paves the way for violent acts. in big. one night earlier in hono a 43 year old german national killed 9 people on a shooting rampage most of them of turkish and kurdish descent the suspect was later found dead in his home his mother also shot dead he was a member of

a gun club and was not on the authorities radar germany's attorney general has taken over the investigation he said the suspect wanted to send a provocative message olf. home page has more suspects web page contained a video message. manifesto. money fist i know that if you need full of confused thoughts and conspiracy theories almost he'll be in all sorts profoundly racist mindset it should be seen on all flights and in berlin chancellor angela merkel condemned the violence that's this was racism is a poison hate is a poison and this points in exists in our society and is responsible for far too many crimes few and far but i can mention we don't distinguish citizens according to their background or religion yet. we stand with all our strength and

determination against all those who try to divide germany and schloss night and. curlin is gathered at the brandenburg gate to show solidarity with the victims. even more marched through the multicultural districts noid called to share their courage anger and grief. to lie to the phillips was one of those injured is a good friend of mine what has happened has really affected me and them it didn't sell them it. was a place i had often been too young and we had to match not because it gives me heartache. we've experienced violence in our countries we've come to germany as refugees reaching you're going to experience it again here in germany you know here

in georgetown. and that really hurts just to die and we think you know the problem is getting worse but germany is a rich country things are good here and in the state of hessen too i really don't understand it. many are demanding answers as to how right wing terror has been able to spread in recent years. all right let's take you now to her now a community in mourning that is trying to make sense of what has happened brady is there for you ok what's happening. well right now later i muchly on the market square here in the center of now and as you might be able to see behind me next to the memorial here in the flowers and candles that have been laid out about a 100 people who have gathered just now for a rather small poignant demonstrations very silent and many people reflecting and thinking of those who have lost loved ones on wednesday evening and also thinking

of the victims themselves who who were killed in the far right terrorist attack and this very small demonstration here is actually being organized by a young german man from hamburg and that was largely organized on social media under the hash tag a we are now and we are expecting also to see a large demonstration here tomorrow of course is saturday that weekend and a lot more people are expected to be able to attend having being off work and so a lot of people here have come to pay their respects right now as you mentioned as the city is still coming to terms with its loss of course there are still digesting what has happened the tragedy that unfolded in their town what have people been telling you. oh spoken to several people this morning and i feel that after the initial shock of yesterday a lot of people today were talking about a very surreal feeling i was talking to a to many shop owners and company owners especially people from the turkish german

community here saying that they keep thinking it could have been me and that is something that i've heard many many times while some people are calling now for more protection more police protection others are looking at the bigger picture and asking why should that even be necessary and instead questioning rather fundamental problem especially when it comes to identity in germany and many people that i spoke to said that this really opens up a much bigger question people that have been here for decades for generations people that were born here themselves but just have ancestors that came from turkey from afghanistan from italy from anywhere else but outside of germany and yet they say that they still feel like they're treated as outsiders despite being german on paper. i understand you also have some new information to share about the suspected perpetrator. yes so earlier today the federal prosecution

here in germany actually confirmed the suspects had indeed had contact with the federal prosecution previously but it was actually the suspect who had filed a complaint a criminal complaint against an unknown secret intelligence organization and the suspect reportedly said that he had knowledge of a of an unknown organization that was tapping into people's brains so that they could pick up on things and then control world events but at the time the federal prosecution decided to not follow up with an investigation because they said that there was no racist or fall right motive far right extremist ideology voiced in that in that claim that was put forward to the prosecution by the suspect these are you. really reporting for you thank you. and as we just heard the killings have shaken her now to its very core the city has

a population of about 100000 with a wide range of ethnic backgrounds the confederation of kurds in germany has confirmed that several of the victims had kurdish origins as the anguish sinks in many in this culturally diverse city are fearful about the future. is a city in shock the crime scenes a place for mourners to pay their respects they say the impact of the murders goes beyond the tragic loss of life. this really worries me the social and political climate in germany is very scary. as a german with a migration background i feel unsafe if you will go a few nice victory for. those fears i code among members of a local youth club is that. these 10 a phobia has reached the center of our society and we germans with

a migration background we feel this. many germans of foreign descent say it's no longer inconceivable what's happened to skandha mohammed at this shisha bar could happen to them. as i lay on the floor covering my wound and looking left and right with people drawing their final breath and have blood everywhere that's when i realized that this was a shooting. elysium this is. a real sense of anxiety was evident out of the joel berlin spondon brigades on thursday evening. you know this is what he says this is terrible i have lived in germany for 20 years and always felt at home here. but after what happened yesterday i feel like i have a target on my back. german president tom dine meyer has been offering comfort to ham as shaken residents than what the far i say f d

a growing force in parliament has e.j. not desired a thinks that politics is part of the problem she lost a cousin in the attack i put only there a part of us that is now gone and they will not come back goodbyes boost and they will not be brought back by the words of a politician because in cuba. as far right violence increases in germany as azadi says talking a good game is not good enough. and you'll find more reports and analysis of the attack and how now at our website dot com and on our twitter and you tube feeds we're to move on now to some of the other stories making news around the world. here the leaders are in brussels for a 2nd day of talks on the next joint budget after the failed to make headway on thursday when the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. has left the block's budget with a massive shortfall member states are struggling to agree over funds for climate

investments farm subsidies and border security. libya's renegade military leader who least a half stars says he will accept a cease fire if turkish and syrian mercenaries leave the country in an interview with russian media he also demanded that turkey stop arming libya's internationally recognized government this week tripoli suspended un who's to ceasefire talks after have to his forces shell the capital's port. want to turn our attention now to iran because iranians are voting in parliamentary elections in which many moderate candidates have been barred from standing iran's guardian council rejected almost half of the candidates the country's president has not or any urged people to vote amid predictions of a low voter turnout while many are expected to boycott the poll to defy the country's leaders and the election comes amid ongoing economic hardship and

a crippling u.s. sanctions conservative iranian hardliners looks set to dominate though these elections. and we can take you now to tehran the iranian capital lead reporter to reset tropper is standing by for us at a polling station a good to see you a series of tell us about the voter turnout. well at least here in this polling station and all the chain run then not many people 4 years ago it was a very busy place with people eager to cast their votes and today it's not that busy if you can look around it's mostly journalists here and only some voters and ballot boxes filled very slowly today and we also checked another polling station in southern shiran and there was even less crowded that is because more than 50 percent of the candidates were banned from running so many iranians feel not voting at all is the only chance they have to show that they do not agree so many people told me they're staying at home today and that means we're expecting

a very low turnout today what are some of the issues to reset that matter a lot to iranians casting their votes today. well the most important issue for iranians is always the economy especially at the moment because ever since the nuclear deal collapsed the economic situation have worsened even more prices are high inflation is high and also unemployment is high so ordinary iranians are very much struggling to make ends meet at the moment but the thing is that most iranians don't believe this election can change anything about that because neither the reformists nor the principal this offer any credible solutions to these problems not to corruption and also not to the long lasting tensions with the u.s. could we see an upset in the outcome of these elections despite the fact that they're tightly controlled. that's very unlikely because many people feel there's no good reason to vote for the reformists this time around last time many people

here in tehran did so but president rouhani and the parliament were unable to deliver on their promises of a better future so now the only people who are actually coming out to vote here are the ones that want to more hard line approach that want more resistance against the west so that's the reason why the hardliners in the principle is so very likely to emerge victorious from this parliamentary election chartres the trouble putting for you from the. polling station in tehran thank you. all as iranians vote the country's health officials have announced 2 more deaths resulting from the corona virus 18 cases have been confirmed to all in the city of combe while our officials have close all schools for the week levanon has also confirmed its 1st corona virus case globally some 76000 people have been infected and more than 2000 have died elsewhere violent clashes erupted in ukraine over fears that evacuees arriving from china could be infected with the coronavirus. the.

fears over the spread of the corona virus trigger an eruption of violence thousands of kilometers from china. if it's to quarantine more than 70 people evacuated from move han plunged east ukrainian town into chaos hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police into the night. i never went back to that was it the font you afraid of being infected it just spread all over the world even to egypt but those countries can't be compared with ours then why didn't they prepare and organize to somewhere else not in our village that you don't get or nothing on important. hostels on the just a to isolate thing here. we don't want to come in isolation zone exclusion zone only we are going to live here and we don't want this to become a new rule for people to make which will know we're going. to file interrupted

outside the facility where the evacuees and now under quarantine. locals tried to block the road the lighting fires and pelting the arriving buses with starnes. both already say the $45.00 ukrainians and $27.00 for. our nationals onboard had been screened twice for the virus before being allowed to fly serial the you will know when you put me in a magician is article a poll of accurate people who are at the hospital healthy them or you can stop most of that there are no reason to say that there are elderly services akin truths or starting to just go measures on the way to accommodate people comfortably that you socketed the door for body to be conformable in the states or the prime minister has tried to assure low cost they have nothing to worry about or out please before the door via the health minister has agreed to stay with these people in this

hospital the water demonstrates that there is no threat to your craniums world from . several offices and civilians were injured in the violence dozens of part. of the taleban is to begin observing a week long period of reduced violence in afghanistan the agreement with the u.s. and afghan forces is due to take effect on saturday was meant to demonstrate taliban militants commitment to peace if it holds it could pave the way to finalizing a peace deal to end the 18 year long war between his llamas scroope and the u.s. . all right let's get you more on that these developments i'm now joined by correspondent. in kabul afghanistan a week of reduced violence what does that mean why not no violence it seems like such a low bar. it is a low bar and the low bar is essentially there as a confidence building measure it's a way for the u.s.

and the afghan government as well as a tall avanti know that each of the sides will abide by a reduction in violence the government on government wanted basically a wall to wall ceasefire but that's incredibly unrealistic at this point and the thing we have to remember is that right now there are 3 belligerents in this war there's the taleban there's the u.s. and there's afghan forces and they've all been leading to increasing civilian casualties over the years so what they all need to prove is that they can all lead down their arms in order to move forward towards this negotiated settlement which the trumpet measure has been really pushing for. if they get through this have a truce for a couple of days let's say what are the chances that it will help me forward the ob-gyn peace process well that is exactly the point this is what they're trying to do they're trying to test that out and if all goes according to plan if no one thwarts this process and the truth is the taliban have nothing to gain by courting

this process because essentially they've done everything they wanted when this process is complete and if they sign a deal with the u.s. on the 29th of february then u.s. troops will have to begin the process of withdrawal how that will take place in something else but they will essentially get that from them so now the question is really whether the kabul government whether the government in islamabad in pakistan and in tehran in iran will take it seriously and really you know stop them being spoilers in this process so it's a really big move and it could potentially lead to interrupt long talks it could lead to a final peace process that could lead to an actual withdrawal of u.s. forces so there's a lot riding on these next 7 days. reporting from kabul afghanistan thank you. all right and now here in berlin it is day 2 of the berlin wall and the stars don't get any bigger and brighter than johnny depp he is it premiering his

film minamata he says he feels a personal responsibility to tell the story of how big business a covered up the mercury poisoning of japanese coastal communities in that 970 s. i've been following it in the herald in the time small stories every couple of months but no one is really covered i mean it's in the goddamn pressure. and that's all those poor people have to eat the times has a tokyo task and we have deadlines literally in one hour that sounds to me. yeah time is of the yes. and you know that the cover up is going to be that much of the stories the stories. aren't the johnny depp they are now surfing will make its debut at the olympics this summer in tokyo and one japanese american surfer is looking to ride waves good enough to earn gold already

a seasoned pro surfer kind of allegra russia believes he has the skills to be the best and having the games in tokyo has special meaning for the japanese american. with skewes like a no eagle rashi's it's safe to say surfing is in his genes and that's more than just an expression. his father was a surfer a huge fan of the sport before canola was born the garage the family moved from japan to california for one reason surfing 22 years old to know is now a top ranked pro as a dual citizen he's representing the host country japan at the summer games and he knows surfing at the olympics will be special for his parents. obviously for any parent you know how do you see your child in the olympics is one thing but the connection that i have towards this olympics serving the 1st time

a sport where they grew up doing to. see in tokyo where all my family's from it's you know i feel like i'm representing them all in the olympics as well so it's you know it's much more than just having the sort of the olympics i think can no himself has no shadow of a doubt that he'll make his family proud and i have everything it takes to become a gold medalist and. just for that just me enough confidence to you know. to see and to visualize it and you know i know i'm doing everything i can to get closer to that goal you know i can't wait to come if he indeed does win gold in tokyo japanese american could no iraq she could become the face of a sport trying to establish itself on the international stage. all right we're going to go back to the belly now at the red carpet our my colleagues helena humphrey and david leavitt's chasing the stars at the 70th

birthday in film festival guys so glad that we could get you back in there looking glamorous by the way both of you all eyes on that johnny depp a movie tonight what can you tell us about it. absolutely that's right later we all waiting for the opening world premiere minamata here at the broad international film festival the right car but you can see behind me tonight we're expecting johnny depp of course a lot of star power today he'll also be accompanied by the british actor as well bill nye you know this is a bio pic it's about the life of the war photographer by the name of. me as he travels to japan right so the story is a $971.00 w. eugene smith a life magazine photographer goes to minamata japan to document the devastating effect of mercury poisoning on the town's population quite a serious film for johnny depp and the thing about the berlin international film

festival we should have this is the biggest public trust in the world i mean i think it's fair to say that tonight i mean there's going to be 70 people members of the public behind us i think we're going to need at 8 o'clock seth all the fans screaming for johnny on the front of bill nye you have re read how it is going to be screaming bill i'm going to be like are you know a lot of the. johnny. johnny all the way guys i'm sorry got a call it's like you guys got a chance to look at what could be one of the biggest commercial movies of the year on the world what's that like. where well it's a pixar movie and as we disc is we discovered once again pixar has such a fine control on all of our emotions they know how to make us cry they know how to make our palm so at some point i was like oh my palms are sweating really going to have a heart attack it was such an adventurous movie and quite magical it was so emotional i think we've only just recovered i would say from the film essentially i mean it's

a fantastic telling fantastical world of 2 young boys they just happen to be very sadly they have lost their dad and they go on a magical quest to just spend 24 hours we came i mean it was just such a moving film and great and it's also quite a quite a while. they misadventure everything goes wrong for him so they have this spell to bring back their long lost dad would only bring back the lower half of him and he'd have to go on those magical quest to try to find the other half and as bizarre as that sounds it's actually sort of based on a true story we went to the press conference with director dan stand on it and he told us basically that he was a year old his brother was 3 years old when they launched their own dad in the day he always wished for this moment surreal unite with an idea and i think that's something that definitely makes it really effective now we have great fans and it's a mixed reviews coming in it depends whether you're comparing it to all of the other picks all great films or you know just based compared to other movies i do not see it really does a good job and and one more thing is that it's what's great about it is unlike many

of the disney franchises in rebirth and sequels this is a stand alone movie all right helen alfred and david levy on the red carpet for you looking great thank you. and thank you for spending this part of your day with us the most the challenge is up next with you know when you use it i hope see you next time.
