ah, ah, i'm and you can make it and thanks so much for joining us. hamburg is in shock after a gunman killed 7 people, including an unborn child in a match shooting. the incident took place at a jehovah, witness hall and the northern german city. several other people were injured and the incident police have confirmed that the shooter was a former jehovah witness, and that he took his own life. piecing together what led to one of germany's most deadly shootings. 8 people, including the suspect and now confirmed dead after a gunman opened fire. i to jehovah, witness event on thursday evening. in hamburg in the chaos,

police helped carried the wounded to safety. been unwilling, are you? i'm a local residence notices ago. i heard loud gunshots, often munitions went to the window to see what was going on as it was showing some of whom i saw a man with a firearm, my shooting as a window of censorship. i filmed us. we'll have to start off and you feel, this is what the witness saw. oh, it terrified him. on to police were quickly on the scene. the prototype, i'm the daughter, i'm the mom of the internal and, and found people he who had been injured have eyes on player by gun jeff or let's don't tell you. i don't really, fellas warns, and the officers don't know how to shop it on this number or the building. it is in

the home and found herself there before. the shooting has shocked germany, which has strict gun laws. chancellor, olaf schultz tweeted terrible news from hamburg. several jehovah, witness members were victims of a brutal act of violence last night. my thoughts are with them and their families, and with the security forces for whom this has been a hard operation. germany's jehovah, witness community has also expressed deep sadness over what it's described as a horrific shooting. it still on clear what the motive was behind an attack that's left a community and a country in morning hamburg, police have since spoken to the press about the shooting. d. w is benjamin elder. us gruber was out that briefing, and he told me more about what the police now know. officials gave report as a pretty detailed information about what happened. they said that as you just

mentioned, the police was close to the scene that there was this perpetrator who had a weapon that he gained a legally. there was a woman in a car. and next to this edge 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 make this distance between the victims and the assailant. he started shooting from the outside into that window. the were on 50 people taking a place. taking part at that prayer investigations are in going there. solid was unknown to police, but they pretty dare quickly also went into his house and there found even more ammunition that he had there. okay, said do we know any more about the perpetrator in 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 that he put forward it to the police. it might have a relation to that community. it were, he went in and started shooting him. they also said the information that they had that they're taking out here of this more phone of the left with it was found in his house. he took his life. and that's also one of the 1st reports that we had when police entered it. this, 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 for that was benjamin alvarez. groover in hamburg. and now i'm joined here by the w security correspondent, thomas barrow thomas. and can we talk about the implications of the shooting like this? here in germany. authorities have already said that from the information that they know so far, that doesn't seem to be a political motivation behind this attack. and that doesn't seem to be

a terrorist motivation behind this attack. either of these elements would have meant a completely different debate and discussion here in germany. what authorities are looking into now, although they haven't confirmed that is the possibility that the alleged perpetrator had mental issues, especially after they had previously received an anonymous message. suggesting that this man had a mental issues, they actually visited him in his home, but they didn't seem to find anything up strange there. so just to clarify, he was known to the police, but there was no criminal record. he didn't have a criminal record. so that's why authority say that he wasn't known, but they didn't know him in the sense that they had visited him in his house to try and find out more information about this anonymous message that they received. a, something that we found out from the press conference that was good and only

a while ago in the city of hamburg. but again, the fact that they are looking into a possible mental health issue instead of a political issue or a terror related issue, means that the debate is going in a different direction. it does mean that there will be political implications. there could be a debate here in germany, for example, about even stricter gun laws, because this person had legally acquired his gun that so something important to reveal. so i do expect that there will be a debate on this particular issue. but again, from what we know so far, neither a political motivation nor a terror related motivation in this case, a cane oversee the investigation is ongoing. now, incidents like this, unfortunately, we're used to hearing them from other countries. for example, america where this is not uncommon, but incidents like this are not common here in germany or they are rec, compared to other countries. you mentioned the united states. but does that of that? doesn't mean that they haven't happened here in germany. in fact, in the last few years,

they have been several incidents with different motivation. so you have had incidents with mental health background. you have an incidence with extremist, far right. background. and then you have this case which is still being discussed. one of the main issues which authorities are now trying to identify is what the motivation might have been. they have ruled out a political motivation or a terror related motivation, but they haven't informed exactly what the motivation might have been in order to find out more about that. they will look at, for example, phones and computers that they found in this person's house. they will continue to look at witnesses accounts that they have already gathered. so this is something that we will continue to hear about in the next few days, possibly in the next few weeks before we have a complete picture about what actually happened in hamburg and about also what the political motivations or the bullets or motivations in general might have been behind this case. all right,

and will of course be reporting all on all of that. extensively. he w security correspondent, thomas barrow. thank keith. now the chinese leader, she's in ping, has been handed a historic 3rd term as president china's rubber stamp parliament, the national people's congress held the election. and there was no doubt what the result would be. she took the oath of office with his hand on the constitution that he himself revised, whereas his predecessors relinquished the presidency. after 10 years, she tore up that rule book. he abolished term limits back in 2018, and the 13 makes him modern. china's longest serving had state shows as we said, the result of this vote was not a surprise. it was widely expected that she champagne would get to serve a historic 3rd term. i asked journalist aside and fetch my in beijing. what this will mean for china. but i mean,

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. vote. i mean there were among the 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 a while nowadays, of course it's unimaginable to even think that they're sitting ping would have a left to space and you know, would bring a success in into play. i think just several years ago was the opposite. was true. it was unimaginable that a, a ruler, chinese willow would actually serve a 3rd term because the constitution made it clear after to a term limits. it's over a why? because the party wanted to prevent at the same faith happening again because mild dawn when he was older, he direct the country into chaos and, and he had a really, an excess of personality called so that's why there were those restrictions and shooting, ping changed that class and he had an outsource as

a historic for is historic for a term. what does it mean? i think on the foreign policy front, there will be a harsh rhetoric against the west, the so called woo floria. a 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. 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 as a certain it's a complicated question and that in my opinion, the communist party does every thing it can to prevent the people from openly to debating that. i mean, of course,

if you criticize sheeting ping very strongly and public than that carries the risk of getting detained and em today. the big news was, of course seating ping's election. but when you clicked on the web or that's the leading online platform, and i typed in the hash tag shooting, ping elected as president, read the top news with millions and millions of use. at some point, shortly, there was a, 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 or popular. i mean, i would say still, he has a solid and 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 didn't catch my reporting from beijing. thank he and i can take a look now, some of the other news making headlines around the world, the full, the malaysian prime minister. it and yes,

it has been charged with corruption and money laundering and of course, and calling them for he pleaded not guilty on the challenges, including the alleged abuse of power to obtain bribes to his political party is being released on bail. the british prime minister soon ac is in paris for what's being described as the bridge building summit with the french president emanuel michael. the leaders say they hope to mend relations following post breakfast tensions, and to improve military and business ties. this is the 1st french british summit since 2018. italy's prime minister georgia maloney has unveiled tulsa jail terms for people's smugglers. the move is aimed at combating migrant trafficking across the mediterranean. the sentences include a penalty of up to 30 years in jail, maloney's right when government has promised to take a hard line on undocumented migration in the shop. and india and australia have committed to cooperating more closely on defense and security to ensure stability

in the indo pacific region. australian prime minister anthony albanese is in india and holding talks with the prime minister and render moody those leaders said that concerned about the increasingly uncertain global security environment to improve the prostate bruce, thank you for joining. you're watching d. w news and still to come on the show. how a top athletes traded. the track for the typewriter turned her hand to script writing and is now set to sweep the oscars with the block buster m c. war war movie . all quiet on the western front for 1st, after several days of protests, george's parliament has formerly revoked a foreign agents bill that had triggered a major domestic political crisis and international outcry. thousands have gathered to celebrate the result of the vote. $35.00 to $1.00 against the bill. the plenary session lasted a few minutes and had only one item on the agenda. voting against the bill. that

opponents say was meant to take the country in an or for a tarion direction. d w correspondent, maria cat, a mazda is in tbilisi, and i asked her earlier what the mood in the ga capitol is now off to the withdrawal of this controversial bill. well ga, ga, and seem to be getting back to their business, getting back to their normal our daily lives. however, we were just a protest. i just kind of confirm to us that there will be additional rallies. ah, because it doesn't sofa. protesters are still being detained. and they say that they will prussia pressure the government more to our 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, ah, legislation,

foreigner agents legislation exists in russia and, ah, yes, the, for the past 3 days georgians were signaling to crumbling that they do. they do not want the same law in their country if they do not want to. i import all crumbling policies and if that was the clear message to the crumbling and given that russia is trying to keep her in control or for reports, the soviet republics are such as a 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 fur for george and

politics and its path towards the e? well, i, i, georgia and som georgians were applauded internationally and many are politicians, europeans for european politicians in particular. sad that are georgians, a georgians want to be in europe. and however, it's not that easy for it's not that easy for georgia because there are reforms so that georgia government has to, ah, has to adopt in order to become a member. for instance, a very tricky one is the organization of the country, given data for georgia and the ruling party of georgia dream. the founder of the party is in billionaire who is believed to be shadow leader, and he made his fortune in russia. so it's, 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 georgia party will deal with this maria cat mother in sibley c. thank you so much for that to ukraine. now, in russia's wagner mercenary group has entered a tactical pause in the us based institute for the study of war is saying, a fighters may have paused there, offensive on mute, because they're waiting for russian reinforcements. now, wagner fighters have so far spearheaded the attack on the ukrainian city and earlier the groups leader claimed that moscow had cut off official communication with him. after he criticized rushes, defense ministry in the public appeal for more ammunition military analyst and former military intelligence office of frank lead, which is in the u. k. and he told me earlier what a tactical pause actually means. good afternoon, you're a tactical cause committee,

a number of things. but usually what it means is you take a whole cooperation, are really slow them down to look lesson and try and determine what's going on. in this case, it seems that what's happened is that wagner, if we were to believe the, the institute for the study of war that wagner has run into serious problems and it has effectively lost the capability to proceed. for the moment. one is given to suspect that this pause as they call it, may be simply to pro, to apply pressure on the russian army. but equally, it's important to realize that wagner is not a separate unit. it is very much integrated into russian command control. and indeed, russia units help and are folded into it. so it seems what's happened here is that they've run into serious problems. they've had to stop or cease or, or slow down operations. that's what that means. okay, so how important is the varden and mercenary group for moscow and essentially to

the success of the russian invasion for the success of the renovation overall at the strategic and higher operation level, i would say just not important at all. it's assumed an important to read back because 6 or 8 months ago, it's a leader or managing director more accurately. wagner is immersed in a group. essentially gangster group really seemed the responsibility for taking this town and promised to do so. and it's, this is the fountain and origin really of the, of the whole battle. so they got themselves stuck into this, the army decided to help. and the town has assumed an import through the investment of resources by both sides. so to that extent, in so far as apartment itself is vital and it is now strategically vital, wagner has been leading on this one suspect. now that it's been sidelined, especially since the appointment of general garrison of as overall commander and ukraine. here of course,

also is dual hatted as the chief of all russian forces. so it's now subsidiary to the main effort. that's the answer your question. ok, now you've described move a strategically vital, can you tell us why both are russia and for ukraine? yes, that's an excellent question on you is to teach a cli important now because of the investment of both sides have made in it for the ukrainians. they have declared this to be fortress barcode, and we understand from butler's, in the past be that they're done, or iep, or in the 1st world war and many other conflicts. when you declare something important, it becomes important politically. same for the russian side. so the importance is, arises out of the, almost the propaganda value. it has strategic operation, which is to say where it situated is not important at all. it's surrounded by hills, certainly from the ukrainian side. it's not holding on to a fixed position is not the way they seem to fight from the russian side. they invested vast casualties for very limited gain from the ukraine inside to be better

parts defending somewhere else. but that's not the point. now the point is that this is now as a central focus of propaganda on both sides and that's why it strategically import it's lost. the ukrainians would be quite significant. from that perspective. it's game for the russians, frankly, fairly limited except for the propaganda value. frank, thanks so much for those insights. that's not true unless frank clench which thank you. now, the story of how a world class athlete help bring the anti war, moved anti war movie all quiet on the western front, back to the big screen. the film which is based on the famous novel, written by eric maria, the mark, is among the favorites for best picture at the academy awards on sunday. it recently took top honors at the british pastor film awards, and its been nominated for 9 oscars in total. but less well known is leslie
