is also the question of more protection for immigrants and their descendants. most of all by rome has lived in germany since 1988 but the shop owner does not want to be ruled by fear. people just really don't have to protect my store why should they stand around for 12 hours just waiting for if you live in fear then you will just stay home and never quite. 18 months to once to feel free and not lose the courage to face life in memory of the victims of far right terrorism. this is the time given to all these people and we won't be intimidated i don't want to have police protection wherever i go no i want to be able to walk freely into the market and smoke my shisha there. and to not let all the happiness be taken from life but 1st the pain must be put behind them. well for more on this i'm joined by political correspondent. thanks for coming in now we've just heard from one of the

victims what what what can you tell us about some of the other is well the police released quite recently more details about the victims 3 of them were germans 2 of them were turkish one was from romania one from bulgaria one from bosnia one had both german and afghan nationality so we can see that this was a very diverse group of people all of them did have some sort of immigrant background but some in some cases this goes back to 3 generations some of these people have been here in germany for 4 generations were born here grew up in holland all some of them came very recently especially the person from bug area. they are obviously e.u. citizens and were able to come to germany freely yes a very diverse group of people that were victims of this attack now tell us also already have announced that they're basing out protectionist measures as a likely to reassure those minority communities i think that's

a 1st step towards reassurance a police presence the visible police presence. that shows people that might feel threatened by this atmosphere of racism that. that is existing in germany i think one has to say that there are groups in germany at the moment that racism is becoming a lot more acceptable in a sense a visible police presence will be a 1st step towards reassuring people but i think the basis of all of this this kind of policies and of hate poison of racism that are going to medical the chancellor was talking about fighting that is really the basis of improving the situation and that is obviously a long term project now this shooting has also raised not had the discussion about weapons. couldn't more restrictive laws have prevented this attack but we have to say 1st of all that gun laws in germany very restrictive at the moment already you constantly go and get yourself a gun because you feel threatened you have to have a particular reason the reason why this gunman this attack had guns is that he was

a member of a shooting club and as a result he had permission to have 2 guns. the point is that even though you had he had a license if you have a license in germany you get checked every few years by the authorities and he was checked by the authorities fairly recently and nobody seems to notice that he did have psychological problems he seems to have had. schizophrenia or something similar so there are questions about how these checks are done and they also cools that the gun those should be even more restrictive so for instance some people are saying you should not be able to keep i mean mission at home that should be kept at the place where you do your shooting in the shooting club for instance thanks very much up to date. italy has announced its 1st death from the corona virus as the number of cases in the country more than

quadrupled the world whole health organization has warned that the window of opportunity to contain a wider international spread of the epidemic is closing and a surge governments around the globe to act quickly many countries are already stepping up precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. this plane bought taiwanese evacuees home from a quarantined cruise ship in japan hit by the corona virus while their plane and the luggage gets a thorough disinfection the evacuees will be isolated for another 2 weeks. these precautions are the new normal in the fight to contain the corona virus. in italy top officials meat of to the virus claimed its 1st victim in the country an elderly man in northern italy died after being hospitalized a number of cases spiked to 17 in just one day in co don't you know a town southeast of milan official shut down schools and businesses that you

thought send it back a bit of a shared an official order to close down all the shops and we're following the order so we're closing there's a lot of alarm also worries me that you're all going to look at us i mean to me probably i don't know shit don't we are old and very concerned i am 76 years old i live on my own i really don't know what to do. public events a band and that includes church services the 1st patient to contract the virus here had met a friend who had recently traveled to china. but the world health organization is worried about another trend they have spotted in the latest infections although the total number of cases outside china remains relatively small we are concerned about the number of cases we nor clear epidemiology can link such as travel history to

china or contact with the confirmed cases. in ukraine local residents blocked buses with passengers evacuated from china these scenes prompted president selenski to give his fellow citizens a dressing down on television said marsh these are ukrainians they're not sick with plague they don't have homes and. they are ordinary normal people why would. he promise that the organizers of the blockade would bring prosecuted authorities are working to contain the fear of the virus as well as its spread. let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders has warned russia to stay out of the us election he said u.s. officials told him last month that russia was trying to help him help his campaign moscow denies any interference sanders is currently the front wanted to take on

president donald trump in november. a week long partial truce has begun in afghanistan president ashraf ghani announced that the deal to go should have between the u.s. and the taliban came into effect at midnight if the agreement to reduce violence holds it could pave the way to a peace deal between the islamists and the u.s. . in the german state of 3 mainstream politicians have agreed to a so-called stability pact the anxious to block the far right if dave hospital from playing a role in policy making the parties have agreed on forming a transitional government and to hold a new elections in april 2021. was saying iran's parliamentary election has ended after being extended by several hours many iranians boycotted the election angered by their leader's decision to bar almost half of the candidates though it comes amid ongoing economic hardship because of crippling u.s. sanctions. during the last election in tehran people stood in line for hours to

vote at the polling station in this mosque but very few came here this morning whoever is voting clings to a desperate hope for a better economic outlook. even graphic here if i vote i want the candidates to take effective action and do more than just talk we just want them to help us. but supporters of more moderate figures are out of luck the guardian council made up of clear exit jurists disqualified more than half of all would be candidates including well known reformers people like there was no mahdi a member of parliament hardliners are likely to sweep the election. but if i think this election will decide the country's fate if people simply don't want to go to the polls outside fording for the opposing sides yet. many voters are apathetic about the election but the country's economy battered by mismanagement and u.s. sanctions the downing of

a ukrainian airliner in january destroyed what little confidence in the leadership has left young iranians in particular are staying away from the polls baffert just look at the situation here why are we expected to go and express support for this. many iranians believe the results will be of little importance to conservatives and hardliners will tighten their grip on parliament but voter turnout which could reach historic lows will be keen an expression of widespread dissatisfaction with government policies. and joining us now from tehran is due to be reported to raise a try to raise a start is has been boasting high turnout but that's not what people on the ground have been saying well can you tell us. i visited several polling stations yesterday here in tehran and all of them were fairly empty at least if you compare it to the last election where people work hearing outside the polling stations to cast their vote so i expect the turnout at least in tehran to be fairly low and it's the turnout that really matters here in the islamic republic with many iranians

boycotting this election the turnout will show how many of them have at least some trust left into the parliament of the islamic republic and those are of course still being counted but is there any word yet about who could be in the late. well for now no final results have been announced yet. we get a few reports about prince of list candidates winning some seats in different cities in the country and that does not come as a surprise since many of the so-called reformists got back from running at all by the guardian council the country's electoral watchdog so hardline as well without any real contenders in many parts of iran so they're very likely to regain control over the parliament this time around and the reason this is the 1st test of leadership since unrest with the u.s. started at the beginning of the year could we still see a surprise result in these elections. that's not very likely because even for the candidates of the so-called reforms that are allowed to run people don't

see any real reasons to vote for them because they made many promises during the last election and they could not deliver they promised better economy and they promise more personal freedoms and fight against corruption and they couldn't do all of that so many of their voters were disappointed this time and didn't even turn up and the only voters that actually cast their vote this time we're the ones that ones are more hardline approach and more resistance against the west so that's why we're expecting a win for the reform before the principle is that the hard line is this time and can you tell us when we can could be expecting to say those results. sorry can you repeat that i didn't get just get when can we expect the results. and the result is about to be announced today or maybe even tomorrow we don't know yet if the votes are still being counted so we don't know exactly when that is going to happen to raise a trapper in tehran thanks very much. it was indeed
