you of us in a witnesses hall. he started shooting at the car, but the woman managed to escape. police was a pretty quickly and then this man, this a silent went to the upper floors. the police manage to very, very quickly it make this distance between the victims and the silence. you started shooting from the outside into that window. the were on 50 people taking a place, taking part at that prayer. and the from a child is walter investigations are in going there. solid was unknown to police, but they pretty quickly also went to his house and they found even more ammunition that he had there. okay. said do we know any more about the perpetrator? and his his motivation, he was a member of that community. he left it one and a half years ago and there was also

a case did he put forward a to the police? did my tedford relation to that community where he went in and started shooting. and they also set the information that they had is that they're taking out here of the smartphone on the left with it was turned in his house. he took his life. and that's also one of the 1st reports that we had when police entered it. is it building pretty rapidly that they heard a shot and then this found this person far away from the other victims away at the bottom floor. okay. send it out. more details coming. now, incidents like this are really not common here in germany all day. so can you tell us more about the reaction to this hair? exactly, and that's why many of the officials also this press conference said that they were shocked that this was of the was one of the most horrible things that happened in a hamburg history over the past years. and now they want to look into how he gained the weapon. if there was any other information about the motives police asked many

people also the press. do not speculate on the motives on the background of this man who made it into this in, into this whole at around 9 p. m. yesterday evening. police was pretty it quickly there's the investigations will be and going. we heard that german 4 air german interior minister nancy fees a will be here today. and we also heard are the politicians as the german chancellor and the air german president as well. expressing the condolences for the families right benjamin alvarez grover reporting from hambo. thank you. and the chinese leader, she's in ping has been handed a historic 3rd term as president. china is a rubber stamp parliament, the national people's congress held the election and there was no doubt what the result would. b, z took the oath of office with his hand on the constitution that he revised, whereas his predecessors relinquished the presidency of to 10 years. she tore up that rule book. he abolished term limits back in 2018. now this 3rd term makes him

modern, china's longest serving head of state b bar and for more journalist again, fetch my joins me now from beijing. far beyond the result of this, the vote was no surprise. it had been widely expected that she didn't ping would serve a historic 3rd term. can you tell us what this means for china? yeah, sure. well, i mean the, uh, the result was kind of expected. it was obvious that he would get this term, but it was not necessarily obvious that he would get a 100 percent. yes, lot. i mean there were among the a 3000 delegates. there was not one single one who abstained for example. so this shows you how you are, how absolute he is in control and, and while nowadays, of course, it's unimaginable to even think that as sitting ping would have a left her space and you know, would bring her success and into play. i think it just several years ago was the

opposite. was true. it was unimaginable that are a ruler. chinese willowwood actually serve a 3rd term because the constitution made it clear and after to a term limits, it's over. why? because the party wanted to a prevent at the same faith are happening again because mouths dawn, when he was older, he director care country into chaos. and, and he had a really, an excess of personality called so that's why they're worth those restrictions and cheating, ping and changed that class. and he, and now serves as a historic m for an is historic for a term. what does it mean? i think on the foreign policy front, and there will be a harsh rhetoric against the west of the so called wolf warrior or rhetoric will continue the ideological control within the country. i think will also continue then a domestically for the economy. as heating ping will have to deal with a rising inequality. i think that's one of his priorities that he wants to improve the situation for. for the majority of the people who are not as privileged as the top 10 percent. and then i think he also wants to continue pursuing what he calls

technological autonomy. he doesn't want to depend so much on foreign countries for critical core technology as such as semiconductors. okay. say you say that he got all the votes, but what about the chinese people? i mean, what do they think about z serving at a certain it's a complicated question. in my opinion, the communist party does everything. it can to prevent the people from openly to debating that, i mean, of course, if you criticize cheating, ping very strongly and public than that carries the risk of getting detained. and today, the big news was of course seating things election. but when you clicked on the waiver, that's the leading online platform. and i typed in the hash, tick sheeting, pink elected as president, read the top news with millions and millions of use at some point shortly there was an error message, basically, a fall for saying we didn't find any relevant results that goes to show that the sensors apparently couldn't handle the situation and just, you know,

blocked everything. and that doesn't say that he's not popular. um popular. i mean, i would say still he has a solid approval rating probably, but i mean, what, what sense doesn't make this question if you basically cannot really openly criticize them. all right, well, have to leave it laugh, i'll be in touch my reporting from beijing. thank you. mm. okay, well, going to take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world for malaysian prime minister and maria, and yes, it has been charged with corruption and money laundering in a court in kuala lumpur. he pleaded not guilty on the challenges, including the alleged abuse of power to obtain bribes for his political party. he's been released on bail british prime minister wishes to knock his in paris for was being described as a bridge building summit. the french president in many ways macklin leaders say they hope to mend relations following post breaks at tensions and to improve military and business ties. this is the 1st french british summit since 2018

getting back to their normal our daily lives. however, we were just a protest. i was just kind of confirm to us that there will be additional rallies. ah, because dozens of protesters are still being detained and they say that there will pressure pressure the government more to free them. okay, now the cremeans reaction has been to say that it is watching the situation with concern. can you tell us why it's so concerned? well, of the same, a legislation, foreigner agents, legislation exists in russia and, ah, yes, the, for the past 3 days georgians were signaling off to crime lab that they do. they do not want the same law in their country if they do not want to. i import prominent palaces, and that was the clear message to the crumbling and given that a russia is trying to keep are in control or for reports,

the soviet republics are such as of georgia and ukraine. of course, it's not happy that the georgians are turning on towards europe and are saying that they do not want to be with russia, but they want to be with europe. speaking about georgia's focus towards the european union. can you give us a sense of what the withdrawal of this proposed bill means for george and politics and its path towards the e while georgia and georgia were applauded internationally and many politicians, europeans, european politicians in particular that georgia do just want to be in europe and however, it's not that easy for, it's not that easy for georgia because there are reforms still that georgia

government has to has to adopt in order to become your member. for instance, a very tricky one is the all american station of the country, given that to georgia and the ruling party, georgia dream, the founder of the party is millionaire who is believed to be shadow leader. and he made his fortune in russia. so it's very tricky situation, and i think it's, it will be very interesting to watch closely what the party ruling party georgia dream will. how george and party will deal with this. maria cut monthly in tbilisi . thank you so much for that. now in turkey, journalists trying to cover earthquake affected areas have repeatedly been prevented from doing so by the authorities. the organization, reporters without borders says that they have documented numerous press freedom

violations. he w dot power met a group of women in brussels, who say that they're working outside of mainstream turkish news organizations to help provide the public with a clearer picture of what's actually happening on the ground. streaming herani show on line to an audience of nearly half a 1000000. hearken, latch to jasmine laura, left him mango says she was booted out of mainstream turkish mead. you're a couple of years back for reporting. the president edwin's meeting with a former u. s. president was shorter than the government had claimed here in the european parliament in brussels nav, she says the platform she runs herself, allows her to report outside of government controlled media. i don't feel on, on my own because i have my real, we worse. as i said is not like the tv is like, you are a big family, basically. people own you in a sense and i feel that and i'm very, i act him also on twitter. i'm nothing interesting about the 13 system in turkey. if something is it trending it, it's like basically the government takes

a step back and i don't know why, but because i think that's sort of for also tang comes also, did i have their power from popular support all other turkish women like author edger to muran russo raising their voices following the devastating earthquakes in turkey, which have given fresh impetus to opposition parties hoping to asked president ad 199 percent of the mainstream media has been control is been, is being controlled by. i don't personally her. and even in these circumstances, are even the journalists who have been fearing before the earthquake are now raising their voices and showing the truth. i think this is the moment that the truth prevails over the fear we reached out to the turkish government, responds without reply. yet present. edwin has faced heavy criticism for restricting press access around the earthquake and for a slow aid response,

he publicly accepted it should have been quicker, jojo, but he's pressing ahead with the plan the election is on may. the 14th the shifting media landscape, the civil society dialogue, the political circumstances around the elections are all going to have major effects outside of turkey's borders. the question is whether here in brussels, there's a clear enough understanding of how these shifts might change the relationship between turkey and the european union. the head of the european parliament committee on e u relations with turkey fears, there's a lot of work still to be done. whatever is the result of the elections, we need the dramatic changes in there. we're ready to start that i may be more consensual approaching foreign policy. nation says she's bracing for me selections and hopes that no matter which party's turkish people support the country can retain the unity people have shown since the earthquakes. lemme. he w correspondent or in jones is in istanbul,

weeks. this had a major impact on speaking to one of the editor, the chief of one of the things media stations. they say they are constantly walking a tight for they expect find what they have to be aware that if they go too far, they could face total closure and they openly admit that that is self sensitive. to avoid that, i'm going to say that they all continue with the chinese, the government's narrative over the earthquake. that is going to be key, given the fact that this will be back in the may, alex ok. now it has a force now been just about over a month since the, the to us quake struck. can you give us an update on the situation in the affected areas all survive is receiving the support that they need? well, there is a key to mountainous humanitarian crisis to be addressed to talking about 12 major cities that are either completely devastated or badly hit by these 12000000 people have been affected with hundreds of thousands of homeless now have intensities
