yes, of course. there's no other reason this young man did what he did. he thought he was doing something on behalf of his culture and his faith. of course he was misguided because violence is never justified. certainly not in islam, but this is what would have been motivating him. otherwise, he's got someone who's irrational, he's not doing this out to some strange psychic motivation, which we don't understand. it's easy to understand where this is coming from. and that's why this is such a terrible and tragic event because it's obviously bad for the authors. even for him as family, his friends, and all those who prize the, the very fact of authorship of writing a freedom to write and muslims living in the west like this young man must appreciate that they are living in the west with different rules and regulations to their own societies and they must respect the land where they're living it. this is
3:05 pm
something i think leaders in the western world and the just in the west must learn to communicate with each other and promote better understanding. i'm seeing that in spite of these debts, you see those us in japan and then denmark and people have been shot and killed in paris. you can use it. we're having the same problem again and again. and again. if you recall, einstein said if you have one problem and you apply the same method, you fly again and again and expect different results. that is the definition of insanity. so really it's a time, well we just have to take stock very seriously just to wait for the for, for the, for, for the future with that. all yeah. or 2 below the stand. what is the problem? and i can discuss it with you if you have time. may be thinking of quickly on that . what really is the problem because has been fatter to me as since the fatwas pronounced against rusty wifi. still the target of astra is especially connected to

3:08 pm
they, when needed to quote, to protect the wind. because they knew that they had one at the same time about a couple of minutes ago from the opposition. and from now they're opposition. they're running me from that party. seeing that what these are, the people are seeing a simply site shows that we should be listening to what the independent and electoral boundaries commission is saying to wait for the results of cost for a lot of canyons. this is very disconcerting, where a country where the longer the results take, the more the potential is for tension and violence. and that's precisely what people on the streets told me when i spoke with them earlier. as well. we haven't gone back because people are nervous. in fact, when you look at the road, people are not using that car so much because they'll afraid they'll be burned guy, joe, more than one. i normally leave work at 5, but today i left to 11. my employer keeps looking at the time because they don't want me staying late. they're afraid something might happen on the way home. to like a delivery things at a standstill. business is stalled anxieties rising. we don't understand what the officials are planning nerves that you can see there,
3:09 pm
etc. but what is curious is that the observers here drawn from both the e u and the a, you see that the selection from what they've seen has been free and fair free and fair. but yet and z id is rising. what are going on? when do you think are for sure resolves will be released either at the moment. there is a lot of speculation. people calculating basically the time it's taking for them to tell you one constituency, what is what's remaining and how long they think that's going to take. but the truth is, nobody really knows, not even the chairperson of the independent and electoral boundaries commission does under the law. he does have 7 days, which will lapse on tuesday. and he's been very careful to might can, is that he is aware of this looming deadline that they are working carefully to make sure that the results are issued before that deadline lapses. ok, did of the correspond undefeated kamani in my will be junior. thank you.

month in the near future. environmental groups in germany are calling it an ecological disaster. thousands of fish have washed up dead along the order river which runs along germany's eastern border and then flows into poland, lifeless, and sick fish have been present in the old us since the end of july, across several 100 kilometers. officials think it's likely they have been poisoned d w reporter iran tilton, is that the old i read off are asked. i asked them area if authorities are any clues that determining the cost of the mass fish die off. i'm standing here on the banks of the odor in between germany and poland and for weeks now. and people who've been living around the river a half and pulling tons of dead fish from the waters. now, initially people thought that it was actually caused by the extreme heat and drought that germany's been facing the last several weeks. but now it seems that
3:12 pm
investigators are a little bit closer to figuring out exactly what is behind is massive fish die on a die off. basically, it looks like there's been some type of release of some type of caustic or on poisonous chemical from a factory in poland. now we know that polish authorities actually detected the leak sometime back in july, but for some reason, they didn't notify german authorities notify their own population that they should avoid the waters in and around the odor. but they didn't notify the german government whatsoever. and the polish government has opened a criminal investigation into the matter. they've also actually sacked, run to ministers for their slow response to actually informing the german government and investigating the matter, but so far on this really led to some consternation on this side of the river. basically, a people i've talked to on the streets are saying that they don't understand why pole has been so tight lipped about this potential chemical spill, of course, because it has extreme ramifications for people living here in and around the odor . yeah. and people living nearby have been told to stay away from the water. what
3:13 pm
impact is this having on the local community? well, a massive one specifically because they don't actually know what this contamination if is is indeed a contamination actually is. i mean there have been samples taken from the water and they've indicated that there are some, the presence of some unusual salt may be some mercury and also some type of organic solvent. but environmental groups and local activists don't really want to say what this is yet, because they're waiting for more extensive chemical analysis for the local population. that means people have to stay outside of the water. people, people with pets have to keep their pants away from the water and of course the fish that are present in the water can no longer be consumed. now of course is having a huge impact on tourism in the region and also local authorities say that this is the type of damage that could take years if not decades to clean up. so we're looking at a major impact both on the lies and the livelihoods of people living around the river for the foreseeable future. and what's worse of the solution is also being
3:14 pm
carried down river towards the baltic sea. and of course, that is a major fishery hub. from northern in central europe. so we could be looking at a, a mass contamination that will really take it could we could be living with for the next years of not decades. interviews, err on tilton, are the old ariba. thank you. let's talk football now and the german blunder sleeva doth mont came from behind to beat fryeburg and friday nights, action a fryeburg took the lead in that that's a 5th minutes when michael greg rich had at home. but with 40 minutes to go, a holla from gold, keep off mock fleck and allowed jamie gets his shots to make it 11 dot 12. the lead 7 minutes later through you super glucose strike. and later iris wolf added another goal before full time to complete a $31.00 victory adult. as a reminder of the top story,
