today's face, and that seems to be one of the key aspects driving the conflict at the moment. so it was a very precarious problems that we were in at the moment. is that the only hope for the escalation saving face? well, it's actually i would say saving face is what's driving the violence. you know, you have a specific need on the off of hezbollah, mouse who these to respond to his route and to demonstrate strength, failure to do that would carry, you know, immediate local consequences. of course it would be a concern for that major allied around. so i'd say it's probably one of the factors, it's really driving the conflict more than anything. huh. so, so what else to play is need to do in the region or elsewhere abroad to ensure that this doesn't regional level well, hopefully 11 and can be an actually the key. but the, i'm talking about 11 e state, it can be an obviously the key bottom here. um, in terms of like relieving pressure. it's going to be all, i suppose,

the us and iran is external policies to really kind of, i suppose rain in the tensions in the region. exactly how that might happen. i am and show, but it's definitely something that the international community needs to continue to watch with an incredible interest quite today. it's your insights, christopher morris from the university of elizabeth, thanks for being on data over here. thank you so much. i is moving on and german police say a 26 year old syrian man has confessed of carrying out the 9th attack in the western city of zoning and, and which free people died. and 8 others were seriously wounded. the so called is lennox states, claims it was behind friday nights attack on the festival. there provided no evidence police and prosecutors say the suspect turned himself in, and they're investigating his links to the terrible organization. after a day long man, hunt, police take the suspect to kill it into custody. authority,

say the man a 26 year old syrian gave himself up on the street and later admitted to the north for tech. earlier as the city wide search intensified, dozens of police right to the hospital for saw them see, cuz not far from the scene of the deadly rampage. on friday, not thousands have gathered in central zoning and for a festival of diversity when a knife wielding a silent begin stepping people at random, killing 3 and wounding 8 others, the state premier called it an act of terror. visa and flock. this attack that was meant to spread tear terror among people and these celebrating peacefully together . and they wanted to target communal celebration and celebrations that are so typical this city a lot more so than almost anywhere else. the so called is lennox state group,

is claimed responsibility for the attack. a claim that see it to be verified. the festival was part of zoning and $650.00 of anniversary celebrations. remaining events have been cancelled as political leaders, appeal fee unity. that's why i'm making an urgent appeal. the hate of this terrible event influenced the community in these difficult hours. we must have been together the guidelines like she understood it. and so i'm seeing zoning in is a city in morning on a square wave for steve, and he should have taken place. crowds now gather to commemorate the victims of friday's attack. a report hour until 10 is in is holding and free people are in custody. i believe one of them, the suppose that attack could tell us more about this aspect so, so what we just transferred, while 3 people are in custody only one of them is considered a suspect in fridays for renter's attacks,

which actually took place on the square. you can see right behind we now we do know that the 26 year old man was confessed to those attacks is a wide range of refugee who came to germany in 2013 is december 13. now initially he had been supposed to have been forwarded back to both area where you 1st entered the european union. but for various reasons, you should never happened. and he was granted refugee status within germany. now the police say that he was a senior to them. he was in figuring the radical is the machines that we do have here in germany, and that's why some people here are saying that you was a loan of attacker. now regarding the 2 other suspects, these are also arrested. police are saying that it was purely poor procedural issues. they needed information for them, and they're not considered to be suspects. it is to access the inside these attacks and regarding the claims of the state so far, there hasn't been any evidence that there were direct connections and investigators

here. so this is quite common with these types of wireless attacks from the status . and so is there a way to claim them for their own, even without having direct connection percentage, how would people in the zoning and dealing with this errand? well, many of the people to interview the church behind these and these are the new service engine by hundreds of residents. and as you can see, people are still continuing to address these make shift memorials, which is propped up all throughout the city. many years. you can solve as in charles or in your community actually in the community that was attractive and trustworthy person friday. at the exact same time. there's a lot of singles going on in the line and talking to many people are quick to point your finger as if migrate. the refugees dropped off last policy when it comes to migration causes these types of attacks. other members of the muslim community, 0 come as meaningful. please tell the world that this man doesn't represent once he's not the man of god all law,

and he's not the man of our safe haven at the same time. unfortunately, some of these memorials, i have seen other people wearing a t shirts with cymbals far right. symbols with other symbols which are banned here with in germany. it's not really certain. is that what was holding, which is a city that has been marked by racial violence in the past, you successful the house of the task? and it does seem that while some people are looking for community, others are using friday is a tax to further drive the parts and exacerbate those divisions which already existed in society. here. here's our tilton now for us in zoning and let's get more analysis from now. security correspondence on a spouse who's here with us, german prosecutors, a treating this now as an antique terror. prob, how does that change the investigation in comparison to yesterday? it does change the investigation because it's no longer in the hands of regional authorities. but now in the hands of the federal public prosecutor,

this is normally the procedure when the understanding is that these kinds of events are tear up related. so it's not necessarily something that was closed because the perpetrator had mental health problems or anything else. but where, where they found specifically that they could have evidence that it had a political, religious, ideological motivation. that's when the investigation moves from the local and regional to the federal. so the national and that's why now it was particularly important that on sunday, germany's public prosecute to announce if he was taking over the investigation, the main challenges that will be to try and identify to what extent the alleged perpetrator is linked to the so called is that makes state 2nd to try and find out what exactly the motivation might have been. so if the motivation is indeed political, either logical and religious, because i will ultimately to time into what extent you can call this an act of terrible not the suspect was and on security services,

right above the quotation order was out against him. what do you make of that? well, this is basically creating a debate or intensifying the debate here in germany. not only about what needs to be done in the country regarding tougher laws on nice possession, but also a debate on migration in the country. again, this is already being used by politicians, specifically in the conservative part of society. to basically say that it's not only about focusing on the weapon, but that german authorities and particularly the german government in particular. the german chancellor should also focus on the people for holding having those weapons what they're trying to say with that is that there should be also strict measures put in place to deal with migration that in particular to deal with asylum seekers that are coming in the country because they can say to that this is a particular problem, and that is even a bigger problem than maybe just focusing on the specific weapons. what we have so

far from the german government is that one of the areas that they like to work on is on toughening these laws on a nice possession. maybe what kind of knives people can take in public. what the night, what knives they come to take in public. but while you have clearly seeing that, i very much believe that this is going to be moving forward in the next few days, as well as a political debates and what the consequences have happened after the attack and so on. do you think there will be a change to life blows now? i mean, it'd been something that was already has had been talking about. this is in line with what happens in these kinds of situation. these kinds of attacks that the 1st sort of reaction is to call for tough a low as i see, 2 big questions there. one is whether this debate will continue when zoning is no longer the main focus and when the debate dies down a bit and german predictions move to other topics. the 2nd one is, if there is, or if there are tough laws,

how these tougher laws could be implemented because whereas some say that it would indeed help security would indeed help to maybe make public spaces or even public events most safe. there were others to say that the actually implementation of that would be extremely difficult. so it's clearly, it's clear why the debate now is focusing on that. the actual implementation is something that politicians will still continue to debate in the next few days. and what about migration those? i mean there are so many different aspects to this legal migration, illegal migration, and getting people into work into jobs. how these applicants have processed when they're asylum seekers. for example, as are we going to see changes on that front? you already mentioning some of the most difficult aspects for i say i would say any german politician when it comes to dealing with migration because it is a very complex issue altogether specifically when we're talking about asylum seekers. so people who come from countries like syria guidance on iraq and apply

for asylum here in germany. and basically the issue of how to integrate these people to society. how to deal with this people once to hear. this is a very hot, very difficult topic to manage. and that's why already you are hearing from position for additions in the country that something needs to be done. very specifically with people that are coming from country that syria, iraq or afghanistan from the government perspective, that has been a clear indication that to some extent, laws have to be tough and also in this regard. i can't imagine that in the next few days, this will continue to be discussed, especially because only a week from today you will have returned election in 3 eastern german states where migration is also a big and contested political topic. and so i imagine now with what's happening is oregon, you will also have that debate in a way transferred to what's happening in the eastern part of the country when it comes to the political discussion, to your roles. that one of the political correspondents, what could happen in these 3 states?

elections that are coming up that are so important in the east of germany. but obviously, so far what poles have revealed is that one partly that is going to certainly already probably pay a very important role is the far right alternative for germany. and the far out of town for germany has already been using this attack in zoning and for its own political purposes by stating that basically the government's migration policy now . and by the way, not only this coming monday, but the previous government under tons of non governmental that that migration policy failed and that something needs to change. so even before we knew who this part of who this person was and sorting and way came from who the perpetrator was alternative for job and he was already in some on sizing, vis towards the regional elections and those to be german states. so the debates will continue, and the big question as to what extent this debate will actually influence what people do when they go to the polls and those government states, tell us very expensive, get your take on all things,

political and security. as regards these latest developments on that story, thank you. set a reminder, all of our top stories. this alex is well and his will not have launched major cross border attacks and an escalation to mid east violence is what else is about 100 of its full planes. strunk his beloved be solved punches in southern living on the run back roof says it launch more than $300.00 wrong. it's incent drones against this way. that brings you up to date on all the latest news on the bench as women of the excel. a here on dw is a level by the 77 percent african pop sounds are electrifying audiences at global music. festivals in the heart of the young generation finds its
