mariana evans dean is good to have you with us. germany's president is calling on the country to unite following friday's attack on a christmas market in the city of magda burge has left 5 people dead and hundreds injured in his annual christmas address. frank balls are assign, myers says, quote, hatred and violence must not have the final word. let's not allow ourselves to be driven in part. let's stand together. while his words come as people and magda burg continue lighting candles and laying flowers, incremental ration of the victims and against hatred. the tack has fueled a debate about security and immigration in germany. matthew conditioning is politic, goes chief europe correspondent and a short time ago, i asked him whether we're any closer to understanding the attackers motives as well . thank you for having me. i don't think we really understand the true motives

behind it, except what he's written online, which is that he was angry about the way the german state had treated saudi refugees. over the years he felt that they were not given the same priority as refugees from other countries in the middle east, including syria, where germany has obviously been quite generous since 2015. so that seems to have been a long running issue for this man. if, if that's really what was driving it, i think it's probably more to it than that. i mean, you know, that people don't usually undertake murder sprees. you know, over over an issue like that. there was clearly some too deep psychological issues . this, this person has been, has been facing, but beyond that, i don't think that we really understand what was, what was going on here. well, as we saw in our report,

one of the leaders of germany is far right. a of tea party said that a legend is list, ideology was to blame. we should note, she did not provide any evidence of this. but do you think this kind of tactic is gonna help safety gain more support? i think that's going to be the big question is germany goes into this election campaign. i think the issue of security certainly will dominate the campaign, whether the a f d can turn this attack into a real boost for its own agenda is not really clear to me. i think that they will benefit to some degree from it. but as we heard in the report, this individual was also a supporter of a, a fee. and all you have to do is go online and you can see the positive things that he wrote about the a f d and in recent weeks and months. so it's a little bit difficult, i think for the f d to push that narrative, what they're saying is that he was an islamist, as we just heard, this is

a kind of conspiracy theory that has been circulating and social media and recent days. there's no evidence of this anywhere that i have seen. in fact, he was an anti muslim activist, a self described in, at each muslim activist. so it doesn't, it doesn't really didn't need to be together. that was political, his chief year of correspondence, matthew carnage make speaking a short time ago. let's turn our attention to syria now where stories of atrocities, brutal detentions, and mass killings are still coming to live after the fall of dictator, bashar al assad in the damascus suburb of diarrhea, eye witnesses of a 2012 massacre are now breaking their silence and recounting what they experienced dw, as mohammed tre, today reports from outside the syrian capital in this town, signs of life where we are in the year and the sold and outskirts of damascus.
