the biggest job because we haven't been marked. so i wouldn't, i wouldn't count say he shot randomly into the crowds. he, people were fleeing for the life. they're running out of the shopping mall and, and we don't, i mean, the police say several have been killed. there are various rooms around 5 or the same or no one are, you know, they haven't said that. yes. but clearly it's, it's really, yes. are we, when the worst thing we've had happen to them are the sorts, and we have her attack in 2015 and this seems to be worse. if it is terrorism. there was this 22 year old. he didn't do put up a fight when they arrested him. apparently he was approached by the police and they are just reading the news. now. the police have just stormed a building and apartment in connection with this case in copenhagen. and they basically they had a press conference about an hour ago saying that they believed he acted alone, but they didn't rule out because you have more so there is a city why,

why are dan it countrywide sweep or s i so sorry, operation going on, right now to find out if there's more and to find out what, what has happened and who he is, but we don't know much more of these 22. and he said, think it was at the city that they underlined that probably for reasons through the science point, then to a terrorist motive. it could be that it could be a mentally ill person that there are so many things happening on twitter now and social media police are urging people not to, to offload things. there are things out there is video people, clammy, it's him doing opposed to the con yesterday. but who knows? so we, we don't know yet what it is. so it's hard to speculate because he hasn't please, haven't said it spoken to me, but he has to have a lawyer assigned to him by going in a shooting randomly. definitely, i mean it's, if you talk a little terrorism is definitely a human terrorism. i mean that people are, i mean the shooting random people go well i was

a counselor here shooting down an escalator where there were problems at the end of it. so, i mean, it didn't seem like he saw us. we know it and see what he would see was targeting specific people. he spoke to people, there are eye witnesses that spoken to him where he didn't shoot them. we told him that no gun that it's a fake gun and then he went on a shot other people. so it's all up in the air. we really don't know. it's pretty chaotic. strange incident and then horrifying. that for sure, i've been reading about reports of people in that super in that shopping mall, hiding in stores. tom, thank you very much for bringing us that up to date constance in a journalist there in copenhagen with that breaking news. the ukranian army says it's withdrawn its troops from the city of little chance. earlier president floated mister lensky, had come downtown, rushing claims to control the town. you can even find his have been defending the area for weeks control of it. the chunks would give the russians more territory from which to intensify their campaign in a dumbass is comes just hours after russian rockets killed several people and wounded many more in the town of soviet. on the edge of the dumbass region. the w

corresponded mamma is if i asked her what the loss of the city of is, it just means that you cry while obviously strategic lead sir, it's a huge loss for ukraine. but also you have to keep in mind that just as it happened for several danielle, this could also be a strategic oh, you know, a retreat, a retreat from ukraine, so as not to lose more soldiers. you know, you can, armed forces had been criticized for not intervening to have my are you bold ukrainian fighters when they were there? you know, in am or you pull as of south to your plan fighting against russian troops. there had been circled by the russian tubes and both inside and only esque. and this time in the city of lizzie chance. it seems that this time there was a strategic retreat from ukraine. of course. now these 2 russia at an advantage in the area and it puts it on

a pass to maybe control the entirety of don boss. but let's not forget that fierce fighting is continuing all around, lazy sands. so russia doesn't control the entire region yet. and powerful shelling has hit the eastern city of science. what are you hearing? well, i was talking earlier to people who were, who were in slide the ask during those explosions. they told me they had the feeling. cluster bombs were being dropped on the seat that he was a hell on earth. there were several fires that broke across the city following this selling wish the mayor itself said was the most expensive extensive to the west shelling to date happening under city. so a very dire situation, at least 7 people dead, up least 15 people injured. and we might, we fear that the, the tall, the desk told tal of injuries might increase. as the hours passed,

the russian defense ministry accused ukraine of attacking russian border towns. what do you make of those claims? well, it's not the 1st time the russian defense ministry accuses ukraine or to attack or to launch attacks on its territory are true. oh, what they came, a r e z ukrainian drones, but from ki if it's very unlikely that we might and we might get any comment or any confirmation that does happened. why? well, because so far, and this is the, a russian invasion. this war is a russian invasion of ukrainian territory and it is on darts phases. and our phase is only that western allies are helping out with military aid. we as a humanitarian aid ukraine. now each ukraine was to attack well to attack russia. these would be problematic, especially when comes to the western hab, so it's very unlikely we'll get any confirmation or such attacks from keith dw

corresponded, manuel shas in keith you craze. ambassador the turkey says turkish customs authorities have detained a russian cargo ship at keith's request. it claims the vessels carrying thousands of tons of stolen ukrainian grain taken from the russian, occupied port of billions. according to the ambassador investigators will meet to decide the fate of the ship and its cargo on monday. moscow has denied stealing grain from occupied areas of ukraine. i asked our correspondent in est ample, dorian jones to tell us more about the russian cargo ship off according to the cranium bastard of arsenal bought. now the turkish customs officials have detained the ship and now they are carrying out an investigation into ukrainian claim, said the 4 and a half 1000 tons of few cray of girl grain. i was stolen from mo, ukraine, now they are. ukraine is calling for forensic investigation to confirm the claims at this grain did originate from ukraine,

and therefore should be confiscated as it is stolen. now it has to be said of the moment. there has been no comment from neither the turkish all the russian officials or for it is on these claims made by ukraine. does turkey have the legal authority to impound the ship? well, according to reuters news agency, a kia for justice ministry submitted or an official grant request for the the ship to be detained, claiming that they was carrying stolen goods. now, under international law, turkeys perfectly within its rights, given the ship was in turkish, territorial waters to investigate those claims. now, what is significant here is that her, for some time the api claims that are russia was going to be exporting. you are ukranian grain on to the well markets and the only export my route for is through turkish waters of the stumble boss was waterway. now, if this is the 1st of our, a systematic campaign of carrying our investigations on ship, sir,

that her according to ukraine, are carrying a legal grain than this is a potentially significant step. given the fact that we have reports of occupying russian forces are planning to export large amounts of grain from ukraine door. and it's also interesting. the ukraine's ambassador to agra has accused turkey of being among the countries buying this ukranian grain stolen by russia. yes. well, it has be said that to the turkish farmers, them ever chavel schuler insisted that that isn't the case. and they were carrying out investigations and, but this just underlies turkeys position. now of basically being a balancing act between both ukraine and russia had relations good relations with both sides. turkey says it is trying to facilitate and the end of the conflict and the even a possible grain corridor. so the grain can get on to the international world markets. now this latest step by turkey, if it is the case, will underline that turkey is also heeding ukrainian concerns. and this will be a very much an answer to many critics in the well, that turkey is too close to moscow,

given the fact is not enforcing international sanctions against moscow. the analysis there from dorian jones in is sample a couple other stories making headlines this hour. he exiled was bank opposition says at least 5 people were killed in many injured in clashes at rare anti government protests in car had parks done. anger wrapped it over a proposed constitutional reform that had stripped the region of its autonomy was becker's down is one of the most tightly controlled former soviet republics and parts of iglesia, have collapsed in the italian alps, killing 6 people. 8 injured climbers are in hospital rescue, as is still searching for more people under the snow and ice record. high temperatures caused the melting and collapse and in other parts of italy. unusually hot conditions are also sparking alarm the cities of piazza and verona. the latest one ounce water restrictions milan has turned off the cities fountains. some drought orders are in place until the end of august. one farming association warns
