a lot of mr. lensky marks keep independence from the soviet union and vows to make moscow pay for his aggression. the hello monica jones. good to have you with us. a top jen, an official is calling last night's deadly knife attack. an act of terror handling zeus to the state premier of north wind was failure. said the stopping run page with left 3 people dead and the western city assuming and shall not be allowed to divide society. at least 8 of us suffered injuries. some serious police have detained one person and are investigating a possible connection to friday night stabbings, which happens at a crowded festival in the city center. they've asked festival goers to submit videos and photos to help with the investigation. ideas some of

what hand like zeus the state premier, have to say he's on flock. this attack, what was meant to spread tear terror among people and these, celebrating peacefully together this they want us to target communal celebration life and celebrations that are so typical this city a lot more so than almost anywhere else come in for unders. it's an active in tears to inactive tear against the safety and freedom of our country and our way of life . i love this. i'm talking to odd via he leaves celebrating together or minds even laughing together, even with strangers and loved them. this is our way of life mentioned here in north run, invest failure to leave them here in notes on this fine. and before we talk about this press statement, let's 1st go to do the report to our own tilton who is installing an hour. and 1st of all, what's the latest you are hearing,

where you are as well here in solving and you really give them the sense that it's a community unified in the sadness and also um, shock after yesterday's horrible attacks which actually occurred right in the square. you can see behind b now it's still cordoned off by police as the investigation is ongoing, but you definitely notice a increase police presence throughout the region and especially in the city. now speaking to some of the police officers here, they say they're attempting to reassure and shake and community that they are still safe while the suspect and the main suspect. and yesterday's attack is still at large now. yeah, you can't see it, but you also have camera for me. the residence is all going and have been assembling a makeshift memorial to the victims and the families of the victims of yesterday's attack. there are flowers and candles being laid down, and on many of the signs were seen one word reading the volume or why? and that really is the question at the our here, among many people, you speak to why was only in the target of what now the government is referring to as a terror attack. of course,

with so little information being available. the rumor meal is already starting to run, and i do think that is viewing some of the insecurity you hear when you're speaking to many of the residents of the city. why to ara and of course we mentioned on the already that the attack happened during an event, a with large crowds there. how did the events does attack, how did it unfold last night? what do we know as well? not a lot of information is publicly available. we've spoken to the police and they are remaining quite tight lipped. at the moment. they're saying they don't want to endanger the investigation and demand under which is still ongoing. but what we know is around $930.00, a man entered this square where hundreds of people were gathered to celebrate the $650.00 of anniversary of the founding of the city. knows, according to i wouldn't support some and began attacking many of the residents jet were who were gathered there. according to police, it was a targeted attempt killing as many people as possible. basically the injuries that

many of the victim showed a stab was directly to the next show that the man intends to kill as many people as possible. now, as you already mentioned, 3 people have unfortunately lost their lives so far. and another 8 are being treated in area on the hospitals. so far, there's very little information available about the suspect. there's been a lot of contradictory reports. what we do know from eye witnesses is that it was a chaotic scene. they reported seen victims lining pools of their own blood and that chaos was apparently what the perpetrator used to slip away without there being much video or pictures recorded other lights, dw, use aaron tilton reporting for raw storm sewing in the place where the deadly attack took place last night around. thank you so much. i a thank you for more analysis, i'm now joined by d. w. chief political editor,

mr. eli tooth now and to show it to us 1st perhaps stop by looking at the statement given them by the state premier or from northland australia handling goose to a unlike the pharmacies we spoke before hand states. very clearly, this was an act of terror. what do you make of that? yes, and this was quite a remarkable statement for him to make because we've seen a press conference before where the police refused to say that they suspected terrorism, although they didn't stress that they didn't rule out terrorism. but if they were zooming in on a suspicion of terrorism, that would mean that the federal state prosecuted and not the regional state prosecutor would then continue those proceedings. and so that would elevate this to a different levels of legal attends and, and we, so a speaking off to handle the cruise to quote this an act of terrorism and who then went into saying we will not less a way of life be threatened like this so it became very political, very fast,

and nancy fees of the interior minister, the german federal interior minister, that not for pete, other words, terrorism. she is not willing to conclude this at this point in time. and this, we have funds the impression we caught in the police press conference with you. that's all those. some questions are being on said about the investigation and how they are proceeding right now. and there's more and more questions opening up from what we are learning. for instance, with this 15 year old was arrested is being questions. at the same time, it's unclear whether he was arrested because he's believe, to have to rec, the spoken to the suspect of police was getting really willing to pin that information down for us. and at the same time, there was sort of potential such as that we are expecting most of us just to take place those potentially taking place nationwide. so but then again, the police refusing to confirm this or denied this. and so at the same time,

we're seeing an appeal to the public to keep sending whatever evidence they have to not post stuff online, because we're seeing a lot of speculation online. right now. we're seeing lot of videos being released, although, and not really specifically the sewing of mine in any detail. so this is the painstaking work of validation that they seem to be undertaking right now. and that's also what interior minister or the state interior minister, the stress that it's a very unclear pick. 10 of the sifting through the evidence and asking for patience at asking for time. you mentioned the, the, the 15 year old that is questioned, also about his potential relationship. connection to the suspect. we don't have a suspect yet doing. this is the thing because the one big question that was put to the police is what, why didn't you say what you believe the suspect looks like? what kind of background to you might have because everybody does seem to agree that it was a mine and,

and what the police says to explain this is that they have such conflicting reports on what this suspect looks like. and that they're still trying to establish the pick to the, to the image they are looking for right now. and that they do not want to issue the wrong kind of guidance. so the won't, won't kind of features that they're looking for. but the question hiding the in the courses, it's a nice to tackle ready? seeing the fall right onto migration ac potty. go to town, go to social media on this as an election that says state election coming up in a weeks time. so there's a lot of political attention blood of political pressure in the air, although not necessarily on the police to say one way or the other. you know, is it is the migratory. your background is there that that's the question that's hanging the and the police is not very fast in answering those questions quite clearly. very concerned about potentially putting the wrong information out the at

the same time, the new cycle continues on, particularly the social media cycle content. and that's, it could be very damage a lot of misleading information online. and a lot of people will be very, very worried in that whole region, because the puppets re, to whoever it is is still at large dw, absolutely. although we did hear from the interior minister and of no farm was free to say that he is increasing police presence for now. so most of all being stepped up as the police is still looking for this matter, right? dw michelle. now as always, thank you. so very much well, let's look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. an explosion outside of synagogue and the french town of atlanta on march says in just a police officer from his interior minister has described the incident as a criminal attack. and says police are looking for the perpetrators authorities have linked to the blast to a nearby call that contained

a gas kind of step more as in gas o, a grieving, loved ones killed and is really strikes. and the southern city of con eunice palestinian health authorities say at least $36.00 people died and to tax the palestinian delegation to the ongoing peace folks in cairo is not participating in negotiations due to israel's continuing military actions in gaza. a roadside bomb has killed 2 children and injured at least 50 the other people in pakistan's, a biologist on provence. the plastic could be a police station, security officials suspect the device was designated to do using a remote control. no group has claimed responsibility for the attack of russia and ukraine have exchanged a large number of prisoners of war. in a deal broken by the united arab emirates, the 2 sides have each released $115.00 captives. these pictures from ukraine's

office of the ombudsman. it's the 1st exchange of its kind since keefe launched, it's offensive in russia this month. ukrainian president, a lot of mister lansky signed the u. a. e for mediating audit comes as ukraine celebrates independence. so lensky began the day by paying respects to troops who died of defending the country from russia. he vowed retribution against moscow. his keys forces occupied part of russia's own territory and the course creation of the landscape published the video address that he said was recorded in the border area, which he is launched. it's surprising cushion into russia as listen to what you had to say a bit. sure, nice whatever the enemy was bringing to our land has now returned to that home. and those a wanted to turn our land into that stuff is a a to think about preventing backcountry from becoming a boss, etc. ration during the movement. also know what you crazy and retaliation is you

know, was a 3 symmetrical long range is not the valuable. no, no, the sooner or later. yeah. can you do you crate in response or reach steady point in the russian federation? this is a source from dying to, to our state and on people that when they're done more, but it's well enough to allow them to turn outlines into the grades, earned by the blue and yellow flag rightly belongs to the new, a sick old man from the red square and who constantly selected is everyone with the red button. it will not take, take any of his red lines to us, only ukraine and do crating the well the time and how we live, what pots we take, and what choices we make, you know, because this is how many dependents what i assume that's all about keith correspondence sonya, following the call, told us more about the prisoner swamp of web presence. lensky has confirmed that a 115 ukrainian soldiers have been brought back from russian captivity, as he said, they're the office of the ombudsman. this published this video,

showing them draped in the crating flags singing, singing the anthem. the media here has been seeing the, into the soldiers from the navy, from the armed forces, as well as from the speech border service. and of course, this is very symbolic as it comes on the day when you create as mocking, independent states mocking 30 to 33 years of its independence from the soviet union . and this is the 1st such a prisoner swap that has been carried out since you queen, launch that supplies incursion into russia's caustic region audio this month. it said it had captured several 100 russian soldiers as well as windows consequent border guards and precedents. lensky had been saying that this would, you know, kind of replenish the exchange fund and strengthen ukraine's hand when it came to kind of these big present exchange negotiations, which must go now. we know that that i bought more than 8000 ukraine in soldiers were believed to be held in russian captivity and human rights groups here to see

that they are subjected to systematic torture and abuse, dw, so this, when you fall on the code they have and will keep you up to date, of course, on developments following the knife attack in germany in our following bulletin. i'm next shift from me and the use team here with glenn. thanks for watching the . the c w. this is the, is available to them and it hasn't met up in some sense to me in the mountains is increasing every so many. i'm gonna fucking on like service, 50 things, work there is holiday destination drowning cost wise at the call are every
