or wounded without giving a definite number. the prototype, i'm the daughter of the officers entered and found people who had been injured have i some fatally, by gunshots from titled alternately, for less ones and the officers. and also heard a shot from the upper part of the building. it is in the home and found a person there uh before. again, i mean we have no evidence of an assailant at large, and the evidence points to the assailant being in the building and possibly among the dead. so far, it's unclear what the attack, his motive was, but they've left behind chaos and fear in a city that was about to fall asleep. andy w. benjamin alvarez gruber is in hamburg. he gave us this update from the scene. one of the neighbors, a woman who's living nearby tal german media that she heard several rounds of gunshots. if before 9 p m. police was nearby,

they managed to come to this place of worship that you can see here behind me shortly after 9 p. m. when the 1st offices entered the building, they still heard and shot that the information that we have and will pretty quickly also with the work, with the different ambulances. and then they gave the information that they believe that the attacker is not on the run, as of course, is something that people here were also hoping for. they believe that it was one person. and that it did to have this shooting that went in there and started a shooting. the area is corned off. so the whole area here in the streets for the neighbors that are here around. and of course, it's shocking news for everyone who is involved to see exactly what happened. tell this and folded. they're really helpful for the quick work that police did. one of them, it, it was the mayor of hamburger also expressed his condolences for the families of the victims had died in the, in the thursday evening at and that was eat up, his benjamin alvarez gerber on the scene. joining

a noun as dw security correspond at thomas barrow here in the studio. do we know anything more about the motive of the attacker? one of the main issues always in these kinds of incidence is what the background could have been. what the possible motivations are. and it's normally the case that authorities take some time before explaining anything that might point in that direction. what we know so far, what has been reported in a german media quoting unnamed security officials, is that they're describing this initially as a rampage. as a shooting spree, it is still unclear what the motivation behind that possible rampage a shooting spree might have been. but this points to the direction that authorities are taking this incident and what they will be looking also in the next few hours in the next few agent. they continue to investigate the background of this is how common are incidents like this in germany, not as common as in other countries around the world. but that's not to say that

this hasn't happened before in germany has indeed happened here in germany has followed this pattern at these from the investigation point of view that i mentioned. so 1st, a very careful approach by authorities and then step by step they release more information on what the possible motivations might have been. it is a rare occurrence arrest actuation here in germany. it has to do with a variety of factors, including the fact that germany has one of the strictest gun laws in the world already says how it's described. they have been debated germany to even tighten those gun laws even further. i imagine this will also be the case of this particular situation, but we still know very little, very concrete information about what the possible motivation might have be. when can we expect to learn more initially this afternoon around midday german time, we're expecting a press conference by local officials where they will possibly give more details about the possible motivations about the perpetrator, about all sorts of elements around this kind of incident. but for now, it's still very little what we can actually confirm. okay. and just to tell our viewers is,

are all pictures from the scene that you've been looking at as we've been speaking here. our data is thomas sparrow. i know you're going to be reporting on this now all day, and thank you so much for bringing us the updates as they come in. oh, isn't it? in other news, chinese liter, she's in paying has been handed a historic 3rd term as president chinas rubber. sam parliament, the national people's congress held the election and there was no doubt that the result would be she. he took the oath of office with his hand on the constitution that he revised, or as his predecessors relinquished the presidency after 10 years, she tore up that rule book having abolished term limits back in 2018. the 3rd term makes him modern, china's longest serving head of state and earlier journalist fabbing crutch, mur and shanghai told d w why it is so unusual for a chinese leader to receive

a 3rd term as president. so you have to understand his story context and the state found erm of modern china amounts of done he would for life. and the older he became, the excess of his personality called became the more his economic policy failed. and the more he dripped the country into chaos, so it was the communist party itself, who after mouse death em, they're basically limited or the term for a future leader to 2 terms named be 10 years and seating pin was the 1st ruler now who removed that clause from the law again until secured himself in historic 3rd term. so it is really highly unusual now to israel, where a palestinian gunmen has opened fire on a crowded street in central television, wounding 3 people before being killed by israeli police. the militant islam miss palestinian group, hamas has claimed that the shooter a 23 year old from the west bank as one of its members. prime minister benjamin

netanyahu has called it a terror attack. the shooting happened on the same day that widespread protest, it took place in israel. the demonstrations were aimed at efforts by the new right when government to reform the judiciary. the proposed laws would reduce the powers of the supreme court and allow more political influence in the appointment of judges. crowds opposing the plans locked roads leading to israel's main international airport. thousands of protest is rallying once again in tel aviv for what was dubbed a nation wide dave resistance marching through the streets and blocking highways to the airport in a bit to hinder prime minister benjamin netanyahu planned trip abroad. horn honking demonstrate, as we're clear on why they with it. there's a bunch of guys that has decided to hidden up this country for their own reasons.

and this is, if you are very few people sitting very up high in the government, a abducting in the in kid not being the whole country. motorcycle police were also on hand photographing the cause of those taking part. but some protest is said, even the offices we lay aside with when you go with. so we're we're good we're we're so elsewhere though, the police were less friendly with demonstrate has as they tried to force them from rose. oh, the protests were mostly peaceful. israel's interior minister, in fact, lay to fired the head of telegraph police. after complaining they hadn't been tough enough, almost disrupting traffic. they like they are happening all over the country here

leroy cameron, today is definitely the 1st victory that this protest is brought. but this fight is not ended yet. because we do not trust the promises of the ruling party, which they're only giving to us to stop the protests. therefore, the protests will carry on until officially, with their own hands. they press the button in the georgian parliament that abolishes the bill. i mean, the controversial legislation would have required and use an independent media who received more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to declare themselves foreign agents. protestors clashed with police for more than 2 consecutive days. officials say 50 officers were injured and more than a $130.00 demonstrators were detained during that time. those attending the latest rally also demanded their swift release. demonstrators said the law is reminiscent
