a few 100 meters from where trump was playing the secret service agent. that was all the course did a fantastic job. what they do is they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time to where the president of it was that and he was able to spot this rifle barrel was sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual. at which time david individual took all authority, say, an a k 47 style, a rifle. with a scope to backpacks and a gopro camera, had been recovered from the golf course perimeter. a witness report at least, spotted the suspect. fling the scene and took photos of the car and its license plate. that information. let us doherty's to stop the car, driven by the suspect. u. s. media reports have identified the man in custody as ryan are a pro ukraine activist. police were spotted searching his former home in north

carolina where he resided most of his life before moving to hawaii, a neighbor, and how i said he was shocked to hear the news. every interaction we had with them was very, very welcoming and kind. but if, if she did have anything to do with it, it's very, very shocking to us. donald trump's convoy was seen leaving the area and he was quick to announce that he was okay. in a post on truth, social trump think the secret service and others for keeping him safe. this appears to be the 2nd attempt on trumps life. in as many months. speaking to reporters after the latest incident, the secret service warned the threat level was high. or we have increase the, the amount of assets that we've supported. so we are,

not heard again. the difference here is given all the questions we don't have answers for yet, is that compared to the last assess sedation attempt in butler, pennsylvania, the secret service seems to have performed here well, and that is because they had up their security statute with the president days in advance team days a back team days peril, and the teams which are surrounding the former president now. so it was almost on the same level as the president of the united states to buy a new new security and nobody's name in the secret service to having failed. now, it is still begging of the question, how could this happen? how can somebody with a long gun with a rifle and optics, on top of that, a get in, in a range of 50460 meters to a former president. still, the death toll continues to rise in flooding across central in eastern europe. in one uh, 1 may or in the czech republic calls the onslaught of modern water. the his,

his town, and apocalypse. more rivers are spilling their banks in the chaos triggered by storm. boris check authorities have reported the country's 1st vitality along with at least 7 missing, including 3 people believe to have been trapped in a car and a raging river. at least 6 people have died in romania as one each and austria and poland. following days of torrential, re thousands more had been forced to flee as water levels continues rise. the remains of a bridge lie in the wall to an historic town to flow, who was a in poland. the river destroyed 2 bridges and boost its banks. leaving the picturesque town submerged the authorities of its residents to flee to higher ground. but the situation is even more threatening and the nearby town of cult scan officials say water levels in some areas already to meet as high and the rising of

to it. um the the river. hundreds of people have been evacuated from what next? i don't know. usually i can tell you that i am helpless. this isn't the homepage. we've just sort of level the government is urging people not to stay in areas at risk. for the situation is very dramatic, and several places i once again urge people to follow more closely the recommendations of the firefighters and the police across the board or in the northeast and check republic. the situation is no bad to record rainfall has cuts off towns and villages around the mountain town of us and make these pictures on the line, the risk to firefighters, as they seek to evacuate those trapped in the homes.

in this case, the find find to do to make it to safety on the evacuation went ahead. the military has sent in a helicopter to help with evacuations. flood warnings are in place for around a 100 locations across the czech republic. but yes, and it is the west effected in austria, the vienna river, and the danube of those badly swollen and have this the banks. in some areas, the entire states of low austria which surrounds the capital, has been declared dissolved, his own. the authorities here a warning, the situation is set to get with still a developing story. we're following this morning. police in the german city of cologne are investigating an explosion that occurred in a central area of the city. early this morning, the incident took place in cologne's han solon ring a busy entertainment in shopping street. the glass took place in front of

a night club and retail shop and appeared to destroy windows near the building entrance area. one person was reportedly injured. there's still no indication of any motive for planting what's being called an explosive device. local media are reporting to the band. the man with the bag was seen near the location shortly before the explosion. will bring you more details on this story as we get them. germany has begun and posing tighter controls at all of the countries borders. the government says that measures will help tackle illegal migration and protect the public from threats such as is limis extremism. the controls within what is normally a wide area of free movement. the european shang and zone will initially last for 6 months. c, w is lucien schultz and reports from monday onboard. sported cheques like these become more frequent in germany across all 9 countries. this which it shares the

land border, situated in the heart of the european union, germany already has temporary checks and plays along its borders to the south and east. but as of now, broad checks will also be introduced at the frontiers to the rest of his front, luxembourg, belgium, and the netherlands, and to the north with denmark for an initial period of 6 months. as a member of the free traveler chang and zone, the german government had to notify the you, commission of its plan. this chang and zone consist of most of you countries and some of its neighbors, founded in 1985. this area guarantees free movement without border control or passport checks. these measures can be reintroduced exceptionally. then there is a threat to national internet security. breland is justifying its move. the device this would serve to further limit, irregular migration and protect against a cute,

dangerous pose, but islam his terror and serious crime. we are doing everything we can to better protect the people in our country against this types of fits. it's a decision that hasn't gone down well with some of that. you countries, they fear it undermines this streaming. so poland, prime minister don't a to success. it's unacceptable. so what you issue, we will ask other countries affected by berlin's decisions to consult, urgently in the coming hours on action within the european union. on this issue, we will consult with all of germany's neighbors and show them the impact from this for germany's navy relationships. and for the u. s. a whole is also likely to depend on just how much free travel would still be possible to be. as lucy, as schultz in his own, germany's border with france and gold and the brand and sop looked, and she told us how the border procedures look there. yeah,

so maybe you can see it behind me. uh, cause all have to slow down here on the algebra on and then there are 2 policemen that look into these costs. and if they decide that a deeper control is necessary, they sent them over and then the driver on here dressed right in front of the police station. there is a 10 out there and then they're more police man that a check the papers and if everything is okay, they can keep on going back on the autobahn and go into germany as they're coming you from friends. so there's florida. behind me is, i'm not a call, it's not completely new that they're doing border check fast and green board checks the also for the olympic games. and what about is different? there is bed for the olympic games. there was an event and as it was in the past or says their big events in the european union member states would notify the european commission during these select the board checks and business board has been taking place here before, but right now they all as a part of this big are systematic board checks that are happening as of today. and

i've also heard here that there are more forces, more policeman that are being station tier and that are doing these board checks in the land is all. and this is a massive operation, of course, because germany borders 9 other countries has land border with 9 other countries. tell us more about how germany's neighbors are reacting to these controls minutes. you a yes or we have seen it on the report that has been quite harsh birds towards germany that are coming from poland, but also from austria. and the big question of course is how will these board checks that are starting today also in, in the netherlands and luxembourg in denmark, how the, these borders eggs really look live. so, and are they going to be big traffic jams? will there be problems for people trying to come to work or feel goods being delivered and i, i,

this would probably have an impact on the reactions. what do we have also heard that the german chancellor charles has been uh, picking up the phone and is your, is your one sir? it has been doing some damage control you called the purchase prime minister, i don't know, chose keywords. so it has been talking to us without funding line and he said that there was understanding for the german move was here. thank you very much. that was our correspondent, lucio schultz. and from the german border with france, which you are watching dw news. just reminder of the top stories were following for you this hour. the piano is investigating what it says appears to be another assassination attempt on donald trump. former us president was at his golf club in west palm beach, florida. when shots were fired, one person is in custody. trump's campaign says the former president is safe and more significant. rain is forecast on monday,
