a motive as yet to be confirmed. salman rushdie was taken to hospital for urgent surgery following the attack. his agent says he's been stabbed in the liver, had nerve severed in his arm and will likely lose an eye. witnesses say rushed, his attacker stabbed him 10 to 15 times before members of the audience grabbed him and restrained him. several medical doctors attending the event gave rusty, life saving 1st aid. the audience had been waiting for an interview with salman rushdie when a man appeared from the back of the stage. don't own a personal until suddenly a person a man entered and we thought he was arranging his microphone or something like that . it happened so fast. he entered from the left hand side from the right hand side and started stabbing him several times. yes, this is the 1st one was here by the neck in blood started coming out. salman rushdie got up and ran for his life for you. but our blue yellow police have identified his attacker and believe he was working alone. here we have been working

to identify the star suspect, who was involved in it, in the attack at the chautauqua institution earlier today. or the suspect has been identified as haiti. matar age 24. from fair view, new jersey brushed, he spent more than a decade in hiding after the release of his 1988 novel. the satanic verses provoked violent uproar in several muslim countries. in 1989, the supreme leader of iran issued a decree calling for his execution. for 75 year old author has long been a vocal critic of religious extremism and a champion of free speech. i spoke to act bark mad. that's out of islamist studies at the american university in washington. i asked them if the attack on rusty could belonged to previous death threats. 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 writing of 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 something i think leaders in the western

world and leaders 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 us. we are having the same problem again and again. and again. if you recall, einstein said if you had one problem and you apply the same method you like 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. charter, we're for the, for, for the, for, for the future with all yeah. or to below the stand. what is the problem and i can discuss it with you if you have time maybe thinking up quickly and up. what really is the problem because it's been fair to me since that fatwas pronounced against rusty. why is he still the target of estrogen is especially connected to the book

here that this is tanica versus where they briefly to let go understanding on both sides. so for the not going to give up their respect and they love it. these are all traditional societies with in the west, which is largely secular. this is not understood, so they would say no, you must respect the laws and rules of our society, then they must have a valid question. but they must also understand how eastern already into societies old traditions as well. so both have to be encouraged by their leaders work together to look to the future and bring down this ugly temperature of it being killed and shot dead simply because other people are not happy. what? ok, bob, ned, j office slamming studies at american university. many thanks. thank you.

in kenya, people are facing a test of patients as a vote tally and in a presidential election drax into a 5th day. early projections points to a tight race between a position lead are right. loading the deputy president william router with a history of the spirit at elections that can yes, vote in commission is under pressure to the class when still the official results in kenya and patients that is running thing or wiring thing. our respondents either kamani a night will be asked this update. well at the moment the very latest is that about an hour ago there was a press conference issued by re loading as potty. this is as the mule and his running mate all but declared themselves the winner. in fact, she went ahead to call on to her commissioners and party members to go to where they were 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. and

they're running me from that party. seeing that what these other people are seeing as 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. does what 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, garage or more cousin, 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 seeing late. they're afraid something might happen on the way home. yeah. like everything's at a standstill. business is stalled anxieties rising. we don't understand what the officials are planning. what is curious is that the observers here drawn from both the e u and the a, you say that the selection from what they've seen has been free and fair free and fair. but yet anxiety is rising. what all that's 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 that 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 mind, can know that he is aware of this looming deadline. and that they are working carefully to make sure that the results are issued before that deadline lapses. ok, the w correspondent, it kamani in. i will be can you thank you. let's look up some more stories making headlines around the world. train drivers across the u. k. have walked off the job again, demanding pay raises to offset inflation. large part of the network has been brought to the standstill. britain has seen a series of stripes and more walk out. shuttled this month. the taliban violently

around the river could pose, but the germans weren't notified. now, poland has officially opened a criminal investigation into the matter and actually sacked several ministers for not actually responding quickly enough to this potential chemical spill. but that hasn't prevented this mass of fish die off that we've been seen in the last several weeks. let's talk some football now in the german bundis ega das bond came from behind to beat fry bag fry back to the lead in that that the fit minutes. when michael gregor rich had at home about 14 minutes ago, a holla from goalkeeper mock fleck and allowed jamie gets his shots to make it 11 dot one to the lead 7 minutes later. through you super google strike. and maria's wolf added another go before full time to complete the $31.00 victory adult.
