from europe. ♪ brent: is good to have you with us. turkey is in mourning tonight. 24 hours after one of the deadliest attacks to hit istanbul in years. it began with gunfire at the international terminal at ataturk airport. that the three assailants detonated their suicide devices. in a few short moments, 41 people were killed and more than 200 injured. >> as they remember their loved ones, friends and relatives mourn the senseless murders. >> i wanted to be known that these acts are a crime against humanity. an attack against all people. reporter: at his symbols -- i

stanbul's ataturk airport, the damages being repaired. but the memory is unlikely to paid -- to fade soon. >> first you think you are in a film and that people started running and i ran with them. it was total chaos. then we all started to hide. >> 9:20 i guess, suddenly we hear the sound of shots, then boom. reporter: gunfire and explosions on different floors sent people running in opposite directions. dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured. it is the latest in a string of deadly attacks across the country.

no one has claimed responsibility for the triple suicide bombing yet, but turkey's prime minister is ready to point a finger. >> it appears the group known as islamic state is behind the attack. details will probably be made public in the next couple of days. after we conclude our investigation. at that point we will identify the suicide bombers. reporter: for now, flights from istanbul are starting to get back on track, checking passengers at one of the busiest airports in the world. brent: let's get a closer look now with our correspondent dorian jones, he is standing by in istanbul. turkish authorities saying the attack was probably carried out by local cell of islamic state. why do they suspect is rather than the pkk?

dorian: this attack has all the hallmarks of the islamic state. the fact that the three were all dressed in black, heavily armed with grenades and ak-47s, targeting a facility in target. the pkk usually targets either military or police. everything points to islamic state, of they have not claimed responsibility. observers point out that for some reason islamic state never claimed responsibility for attacks in turkey. brent: the question is obvious -- why is islamic state targeting turkey? is there any lake to the ties with israel? dorian: i think that is a coincidence. this was well coordinated. this takes weeks of representation -- preparation.

they knew exactly what they were doing. it was a very professional job. it just a coincidence i think that this coincides with israel. all this points to a professional job and it is probably more linked to the fact that islamic state has suffered a series of major setbacks in iraq and syria. the islamic state will be looking for a spectacular operation to shore -- show the supporters they still remain a potent force. brent: this is the latest in a series of attacks on turkey. how are people there coping with this? dorian: i mean, this is just the latest in a bloody succession of more and more devastating attacks. in less than a year, more than 250 people have been killed in a series of major bombings. this is unprecedented level of attacks and it is happening nearly every month.

this is causing a great deal of concern, fear, and a trauma. no one knows where the next attack will occur in the feeling is this attack in the airport is not the last. brent: our correspondent in istanbul, thank you much. here in europe, then there were 27. eu leaders have spent the second day of their summit discussing the challenges facing a club with one fewer member. some are pointing to the brexit, the exit of britain, as a wake-up call to rein in what one of them described as a bureaucratic undemocratic behemoth. but all agree that the four freedoms central to european unity will remain indivisible. reporter: and historic picture. the 27 countries left at the table in brussels where the remaining eu leaders were picking up the pieces from the brexit vote. >> of course it will not be easy

with only 27 countries compared to 28, although sometimes one country can cause a lot more trouble than others. reporter: a last dig at the brits. they would cameron let the senate last night after an emotional farewell dinner. but as one leader left, another arrived. scotland's minister. she met with the heads of the head of the eu parliament. goal is to defend her country's place in the eu. >> i have been here today to make sure that scotland's voice is being heard and a scotland's position is understood. i am confident that is the case. i found doors to be open here today. reporter: but what is the future for the eu?

leaders engage in some soul-searching about how to stop a further spread of euro skepticism. >> it has been said again and again today -- our citizens just do not know what exactly we do and why. we are not talking about changing any treaties or making any new legislation. reporter: at their first summit after the brexit vote, europe's leaders were keen to show unity. the remaining 27 will have to get down to tougher discussions on what lessons they can learn from written's decision to go. -- britain's decision to go. brent: he has sent us this assessment of a memorable meeting. reporter: the first day of an eu council, without the participation of united kingdom in nearly 40 years, has ended.

it is fair to call that historic , even if the outcome was not really historic. but this is the beginning of a long process, and process of self reflection, where the european union will start to reinvent itself. it is clear that they are not going to try to change any treaties or sell any things that they cannot really sell at home. that means not a closer union. they will try to focus on the things they cancel it to the citizens. for example, more cooperation and security. those are things there trying to focus on them all the while trying to win back the hearts and minds of the eu citizens. try to explain what they're doing theire. they will also have to negotiate a brexit, with two have major repercussions on the continent. scotland might vote for independence in a second referendum than all the right-wing populist that since their chance right here.

jeremy corbyn is under serious pressure to quit after labour mps pass a vote of no-confidence in him, prompting harsh words from the pm. >> it is not in the national interest for him to sit there and i would say for heavens sake go. reporter: the top job is it stake. what likely candidate -- former london mayor boris johnson, he was a prominent supporter of the leave camp. his opposition to the eu do not crop up overnight. johnson made in april himself as a reporter for the daily telegraph newspaper, with famously eurosceptic articles. throughout his two terms as mayor of london, he was dubbed by allegations of extramarital affairs and accused of dishonesty during the campaign to leave the eu. many mps favor theresa may, the home secretary is widely viewed as a unity candidate.

she kept a local -- low profile the brexit debate, but she public he advocated a hard-line approach to europe's refugee crisis thing migrants -- thing migrants should be sent back. her bouncing act appears to have given her an edge. an unofficial poll gave her a small lead over boris johnson. a small number of lesser-known people have put in their bid as well. pensions minister was the first to put himself forward as a candidate. former defense secretary liam fox has confirmed his candidacy. an health secretary jeremy hunt has also said he is seriously considering running for p.m. brent: let's bring in our correspondent in london. another week, another round of betting and trying to predict who is going to win.

this time we're talking about you -- the next prime minister. who is likely to succeed david cameron? birgit: the suspense never stops at the moment in the u.k. boris johnson is widely seen as being the front runner in this campaign. for a long time he was not sure if he was want to lead the leave campaign with any did, and he is someone who is quite popular with the conservative party -- conservative party. quite eccentric. in a way he symbolizes the conservative elite. he was educated in eden, one of the most privileged schools in the country. privileged background for sure. he was running most likely against theresa may. neither of them have confirmed as of yet but they are seen as the ones most likely. theresa may, the home secretary who has so far kept a low

profile when it came to the brexit, but she was the remaining contender. the question is, is a go to be somebody who is advocating brexit, which in a way seems natural that someone who wanted to leave european union now goes to brussels, the very difficult negotiations. or does someone was more unifier, that would be theresa may's role because she could maybe bring the two sides together. pbut conservative politicians have said it has to be somebody from the leave aside because they were the ones who wanted this and they had the legitimacy to go to brussels and negotiate. brent: birgit, thank you very much. you're watching dw news. still do come, conversations about the brexit among london's arabs and muslims. their comments on migration may surprise you.
