could enter the stock exchange. of the dead is what killed at the main gate. the center gate and the. destruction building the law enforcement agency is the bulletin that in years played a very very vital role in combating this. the gunman killed at least 3 people 2 guards and a police officer police found large supplies of ammunition explosives and food on the militants and say it's possible they had planned for a long siege the assault was likely claimed by the baluchistan liberation army the separatist group has been responsible for a string of attacks in recent years demanding independence from pakistan for the resource rich baluchistan province the stock exchange is pakistan's largest located in a high security zone bomb disposal teams were told to clear the building of any remaining

explosives. journalist scotty joins us from karachi with more. have authorities been able to establish some want the circumstances in which this attack was planned. at the mall would be a part do you have the print phone that 7 people have been lost and lives introduced incident 3 of them well you know i foresee agency one police officer and 2 security guards there's all syrians have also been killed in this attack 7 of those of the injured in this case hospitals around. what is important to note that the stock exchange attack was going to be there for the long haul work and kind of explosives that were being carried by humans but in large watching what we do listen to the stock exchange he's got and he still should also have the evidence that relieved to be is that he was by the way for recent regencies of the gentleman

who shot this attack which is under british along has been responsibility pretty attacking and all off the. separatists have been killed in this attack or you struck it out she is no stranger to violence such as this unfortunately the terror attack on the chinese consulate in $28.00 team comes to mind other than the special precautions police or security force a stake around important buildings such as the stock exchange. she has a very well defined grid zone and security is generally on very very high and this is also be the very reason why the students could not reach inside premises of the stock exchange and shut down outside what is important also to note that the state home shanghai stock exchange in the us and stock saying this will also be one of the factors leading to this the timing of the business not liberation army has told us by the such attack this is said to be one not many that would be conducted by. scotty in karachi many thanks for that information let's just bring you

some more background on this for more i'm joined by my colleague shows of janani from the desk shows the attack has been claimed by benoit separatists what do you know about this so-called but not just on the british an army. well this is the militant group which has been active in the province of baluchistan for many years now they have targeted security forces they've also behind chinese attack on the chinese consulate you mentioned 2 years ago in karachi they've also attacked a 5 star hotel in the port of goddard where china is building a huge infrastructure project and in the seaport so they are at all but the pakistani army the chinese development in baluchistan but the pakistani officials believe that they are backed by hostile foreign intelligence agencies and they

basically point the finger at india and the intelligence and agency role which has in the past been linked to extremist violence what is behind that well for many years going to achieve political violence it was also subjected to violence by al qaeda and taliban groups but in the last 3 to 4 years the situation has really improved. box down the army and police have really gone after many of these islamist groups and separatist groups so this comes after you know after a long time and that is why there's a lot of money the country is facing coronavirus it is canonically sinking and so this attack. is a source of worry but officials are saying they have managed to respond quickly and able to save lives and that is why it was wrapped up within like 4 hours because if you spoke of economic problems that pakistan is facing is this attack on the stock

exchange likely to shake confidence in pakistan's financial one. well the investor confidence was already low in pakistan this is even before the. came along and made matters worse clearly this will have a psychological impact because pakistani stock exchange is seen as one of those high risk high return stock exchanges in emerging markets so there's a psychological impact but i think you know in a country like pakistan we just seen so much violence the government even see you know if you were actually we did well we've prepared and we were able to stop you know more blood bought. and didn't want to carry on pakistan's economic problems. are already quite severe and this will only make it a bit worse should have jelani from the asia thank you very much.

now to some of the other stories making the news at this poland's incumbent president has won the 1st round of voting in the presidential election with almost 44 percent but he fell short of the absolute majority he needs to win outright his opponent in the runoff on the belt of july will be the mayor of wausau. who gonna just over 30 percent of the vote for. at least 28 people died in the british capital when their ferry capsized after the collision the boat was carrying it on 100 passengers when it was hit by a larger vessel rescuers are continuing to search the river. the world has passed another sobering milestone in the koran about us pandemic the total number of global cases of the virus has now surpassed $10000000.00 while the number of global deaths now exceeds 500000 the us brazil and britain ranked the highest in terms of fatalities in the us the state of florida has reported

a record daily crees of nearly 10000 new cases and full of the states have also seen record spikes infections of particularly surging in regions that lifted lockdowns. they've been battling the coronavirus around the clock but us medical professionals are at their limits in the state of texas alone nearly 6000 new cases were confirmed in just one day despite the rising infections vice president mike pence went to this baptist church and to speak to hunters and the congregation even though the total number of covert 1000 cases has surged about 2 and a half 1000000 remains optimistic with the american people should know is that because of the leadership that president has provided because of the extraordinary innovation that we have brought to this task we are we're in a much better place to respond to these outbreaks than we were 4 months ago

but criticism of the government's crisis management is growing louder in part due to images like these before donald trump's rally and his campaign ordered the removal of thousands of social distancing stickers from arena seats his rival joe biden said his response to the pandemic would have been very different i would go back to making sure that everybody had. making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we don't have now the one thing we do know these make a gigantic difference as usual president trump didn't wear a mask won't golfing over the weekend. some other developments in relation to the pandemic india has reported a new daily record of almost 20000 new over 1000 infections some states are being boys in a full all. china has district locked down near beijing effecting 400000 people often an increase and is there an australian state of victoria is

considering vien stating social distancing restrictions it comes after the country reported its biggest one day rise in its infections in more than 2 months. germany's 1st airport. is opening today in frankfurt jumbo jet company sent to gene is running the center corporation but look tons of. tests are voluntary and have to be paid for by the traveler ms themselves the company behind the center has a blueprint for air travel they're talking to a quote new normal. a correspondent just a delayed frankfurt airport. this is the 1st airport based incentive in germany i would secondly to function. it will be a pretty simple you walk and you find out that and you get a test and depending on how much you're willing to pay you should get their results

with 2 to 8 hours so that's obviously a very different amount of time and it requires a very different level of planning so if you if you want to get that 2 to 3 hour tasks which will cost you something like $140.00 euros then you would obviously need to get to the airport early 2 to 3 hours early i know a lot of people already don't like getting to the airport early so that could certainly be a hindrance to them to be adoption if you also would like to take it to $59.00 euros and then you would potentially come to a day earlier or. or come much earlier to the airport so. there is there's a couple different way that you can get the tough time you basically get the result and it is sort of attached to your ticket and that allows that special but here at the airport here at the airport where you're flying to see if you have

tested positive or negative for the virus is this a lucky to be prudent for the new normal travel those can expect in the coming months. that's the hope for that's that's what these companies are hoping. which is that one of the partners that's behind this effort has said that they would like to see this being opened up in more airports and obviously as borders are open as people start to travel more there's a lot of anxiety about you know giving credit iris your loved ones or spreading it around getting it yourself so to have a higher level of travel there obviously does need to be some sort of security and safety measures in place but i think we're all have to see how the adoption levels really are with theirs they have a capacity here at this airport of about 5000 a day already so we've seen some people walking away when they when they hear of how much it's going to cost and we also don't know at what point this could become

mandatory as you said at this point it's voluntary but some countries might start requiring coronavirus has to be allowed and so we could see this at some point because a mandatory effort from from airlines joe to delineate. thank you very much. in just 2 days germany will take over the presidency of the 27 member european union chancellor angela merkel and france's president emmanuel mccraw are due to meet later today to discuss the transition changes in the rotating presidency our nominee to teen but this time it's the last opportunity american will have to define who you are a bit legacy before should it tires next year she's expected to take firm control of pushing through the multi 1000000000 euro coronavirus recovery plan. some call that the driving force of euro and now that a pandemic you say came the e.u. to the core german chancellor i go america then french president emmanuel mccall

seemed to be closer than ever that attend them didn't see eye to eye at the beginning of the pandemic now they asked sending more united. for the cooperation and the friendship between france and germany calls on the us to send this sick in the even if we know that they are 27 even member states i believe that if germany and france even impose it is something that will promote the formation of opinion in europe that. they must act we must act to appeal and so that we come out of these crises well and stronger. back in may france and germany propose an unprecedented you recovery fund of 500000000000 euros now they must clarify details and gain support from the e.u. has 27 member states the e.u. commission backs the franco german plan for both leaders this is also a chance to be a european they can see a common goal was a notable difference angle america's approval ratings at home getting

a man my call me space was criticism over his management of the koran up i was quite says. for more on that let's talk to do that was chief political correspondent melinda cream what can we expect from today's meeting. we can expect to hear both chancellor merkel and french president emmanuel maclin declare their very strong support for the e.u. commission's economic recovery plan that is based on the proposal the 2 of them made 6 weeks ago there are 3 really noteworthy aspects of that and you can expect to hear the leaders emphasize all 3 1st of all the size of this recovery plan 750000000000 euros 500000000000 of that in ground that's especially important for the southern european countries that have been very very hard hit by the economic fallout from the corona crisis secondly the way this

recovery plan would be financed it would be financed by allowing the euro can commission to borrow on the financial markets against the backing of an expanded euro zone budget now what that means and this is historic is that we are seeing the 1st step toward common euro zone debt and a 1st step toward establishing the eurozone as a fiscal identity and the 3rd crucial aspect is speed expect to hear both leaders saying it is imperative to get this recovery plan approved fast and get that money out to those who need it and that europe's fate could hinge on that american and micro met 2 years ago at the scene venue and vote to well put it on old measures to strengthen the economy but has to be much formal through what has changed. no there wasn't a whole lot of follow through on that in fact president mike cross has been waiting

a long time for chancellor merkel to join him in making the bold steps he thinks are necessary what has changed is quite simply corona the chancellor recognized back in march this is the biggest crisis the e.u. has ever seen in its history the fact is that 70 percent of germany's trade is with the rest of europe so this economic powerhouse cannot thrive unless europe thrives as well but the motives of the chancellor go far beyond you know me alone as you mentioned this is her chance to really shape her historic legacy it's the end of her last term as chancellor and she knows herself that europe's think is literally riding on closing this study dirge it's between the northern and southern member countries just in terms of popularity chancellor angela merkel is riding high in the bold particularly due to what i think of the coronavirus crisis but as a man about cloth is weakened after this weekend's municipal elections how likely

is it to alter them to be able to convince all the e.u. members to back the plan. well 1st and foremost it is now the chancellor who's going to be in the driver's seat germany takes over the rotating e.u. council presidency at this truly crucial historic moment and the fact is the chancellor is absolutely riding high in the polls she has a lot of trust coming out of her very good management of the corona crisis and that's essential for her at home because it will allow her to take the skeptics within her own party with her she's known as a very pragmatic skilled negotiator i think that a lot of the opposition is coming from a much smaller eurozone member countries that hopefully she will be able to convince of the pragmatic necessity of these bold measures diddums chief political correspondent belinda crane thank you so much. staying in germany where the

country's foreign minister has said the frosty relations between bilin and washington are unlikely to fall even if someone else takes over as u.s. president in november i call ma said the relationship had undergone structural changes and in its current form no longer met the demands of either side the latest bone of contention is president trump's announcement that he will substantially reduce the number of u.s. troops stationed in germany in one small town in the southern states of bavaria that could have c.d.'s from the cautions. and eggs bar in the small varying town and. everyone is welcome. many of the regulars here are u.s. soldiers from the nearby army base. here to lay out who has been standing behind this bar for 27 years taking care of soldiers when they're happy and they're angry and they're probably closer to those who come here this is more than just a bar and give sure it's more than just its owner. good men meet their love for the

homeless and they don't call me by my 1st name they just call me mom you know a lot of them say this is their home away from home sometimes they come here and they might be in low spirits so when i see that i try to talk to them about it it's even i can't say they're like my own children but they come here so often it's like my family here right here. it's bar named after their chins late husband himself a g.i. is a fixture and often. it's a quiet town. that's home to the largest overseas u.s. army base in the world and to 12000 soldiers and their families talk of u.s. troop withdrawal gives rise to uncertainty the base is the backbone of this otherwise economically weak region it generates some $660000000.00 euros in revenue a year 60 to $70000000.00 euros of which is money that the soldiers spend in local

stores and restaurants some $3000.00 civilian jobs for germans are directly tied to the base that's almost half of the last and last overall population impossible to replace in a remote region like this one. but dawson was mayor tells me for him economic considerations are only one part of the equation for me it's the families that if we were celebrating 75 years of living together with the americans in a small town with 6 and a half 1000 residents it's always been a nice and friendly relationship and i think it has benefited both nations we hope that it remains that way too early rich with us is a good. american soldiers have shaped often since the end of world war 2. even he was here back in 1958 of his present he spent a few weeks in crawford and even though it violated the terms of his record deal he played one small concert in a local strip club on this very piano

a story they're proud of here but u.s. troops don't only enrich coughing they also get something in return. overheads bar crystal is one of the regular stocker with the originally from texas she's been in constant growth for 4 years not as military but as a civilian working at the base she believes living here is a unique experience for her and the soldiers alike. it's not just another duty station it's ending it chance to experience culture and another culture within the confines of that country a soldier sometimes they don't get to see much other than their work because there's good things that they can see and then there's you know the bad. and i think that coming to germany coming to other countries they do see the good. lots of good and sometimes that's that's what's needed that i did so far they hope that no troops will be withdrawn from coffins. convinced it would be

a loss not only for the town and its people but for soldiers here as well as. the op are. a pretty look now at some other news stories lawmakers in the u.s. state of mississippi cheered after they voted to remove a confederate symbol from the state flag the blue cross and white stars emblem was used for generations by the southern states that supported slavery in the american civil war it's the latest symbol of racism to be removed after a month of protests against racial injustice. hundreds of protesters marched in the spanish capital of madrid to demand more rights and protection for the people the official gay pride events had been canceled because of over 1900 but that did not stop members of the g.b.t. community turning up to demonstrate against discrimination. cutting production by 40 percent for 2 years in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic with air travel at a standstill airlines around the world have stopped taking delivery of new planes

tens of thousands of jobs are threatened by the cutbacks. some sports news now sunday's saw the final games of germany's 2nd soccer league bealefeld and stuttgart had already secured promotion to the bundesliga but 3rd place and a spot in the promotion play off was still up for grabs i didn't home and humbug we're both in the running here is what happened. despite having nothing to play for hosts the field fielded a full strength side against titan haim who needed a win to avoid being coached by hamburg after 14 minutes league top score of 5 in chlor scored his 21st of the season and haydn haim fell further behind 3 minutes later as a. double delete. in the 2nd half the 2nd tier champions sealed a 3 nil victory so haydn haim have to hope how borg had once again dropped the ball

as they have done on so many high pressure occasions. hamburg playing in whites julie obliged scoring an own goal to gift zand house in the lead after 13 minutes things got worse when kevin b. thems made it 2 nil to the visitors leaving coach less than impressed. his side continued to fight and scored from the spot in the 2nd half through captain aaron hunt's hamburg we're now aware that hiding behind with 3 nil down. but they imploded at the end of the match is on tiles and scored 3 goals in 7 minutes to cap off a $51.00 win that sees hamburg miss out on promotion for a 2nd year running. that means hiding behind will now face top tier side greyman in a playoff to decide who will be in the bundesliga next season meanwhile host spieler feld celebrated their 2nd division title with as much gusto as they could
