his rampapage might call it. i'm not this protect you is on the utility day. very much t the absolute hall of paris. it is on the same positive of. learned in the middle of the room the sand. out where the. let's not kid on cathedral stands dot part of paris was closed down from lunch time today. well police sealed off the area so that people couldn't get to take a look at things. i'm one of those expressing her condolences on hidalgo the prison masang paris is mourning its own. office supporting attack in my name and the house of peruvians my first thoughts go to the families of the victims and that brought us as- many others there actually one more ounces about who it was who carried out this attack. and why and a lot of people jumping to a lot of conclusions and it does seem like every claim that we see is then denied by somebody else. up but one of the spokespeople

for the police union this job would limit to how that. said that this man had what. this place for twenty years and i've never been any sign any red flags. any indication there was any kind of problem to and he wasn't it specialist an administrative assistant. at forty five years old now the motive very much remains unclear right now. and but what we do know. is that at the team investigating it they are investigating it as a model but they are also keeping an open mind as to whether or not they could be any links. in times of terrorism at but it does appear that the most likely line of inquiry at the moment is the- is a possible internal conflict within. at the police headquarters kristoff copper who is the spokesperson for a group police yet on kolesnikov homes and full. and angry police that translates as and he said he knew the mind and that he had problems with the superior. and that it was high that he targeted fast in this attack. but as i say a lot of

the information about getting being contradicted everywhere i say. a lot of fake news and false information out that on social media to many people jumping to the conclusion. that this is a terror attack was a terror attack this gentleman. accusing the media of hiding the mymy. now i'm marine le pen the far right leader of the national rally policy on surprisingly has spoken. about the fact that she wants the room was quashed because she wants to know the truth from the government and that they basically it to the french people. i to be transparent about exactly what has played out here. but i think transparency is difficult when we don't yet know. at the interior minister crystal castaneda has tweeted his

support and- best wishes to you saying the tragedy touches a school my thoughts with the families and relatives. but also with all of our security forces he's feeling from cyprus i share. the ministry of the interior is in mourning he says. and it's interesting that this comes at the day off to police actually staged a walkout went on strike for the first time in twenty years. yesterday talking about the fact that. there is a lack of respect a lack of funding but also protesting the fact that there has been such a huge rise in suicides fifty one so far this year. i wanted to view in this piece after the new york times forensics offices at. every day i give service to society but society doesn't return it to me and i think today really does highlight the risks thought at the police force. takes hey in for. and the investigation continues in the light to fight that attack. at the police headquarters in paris. now let's move on donald trump. continues to lash out at

those involved in the impeachment investigation against him. and so what i'm wondering is this affecting support for the us president. well it's affecting it in two ways really those who are in the corner of donald trump of rallying around him and supporting all the more. i have but others are taking a few steps back and politicos reporting on this one. as saying that fundamentally he's a damaging his congressional file will this impeachment investigation as- i because it's pushing away those voters who are most critical to him winning in twenty twenty. in particular white women who helped him win in twenty sixteen at the support among them is set to be tumbling now. and it's believed that that basically rallying behind nancy pelosi's a decision to go with this impeachment acquire that's according to a number of polls. have come out in the last ten days will say. usa today has come out with a new poll which shows that support for the impeachment is growing. at which is interesting to note 45% of americans now she

supports the idea. over at move the impeachment process against donald. i'm 44% support the senate actually convicting him and removing him. but some of the most interesting figures of the fact that i am the majority of americans fifty two percent. believe he abused his power by asking you crane to investigate joe biden and his son. and even among republicans that she percent of them are backing vox ideas said there is. a real ground swell of movementsts perhaps showing that donald trump could be in trouble with this investigation. thank you very much indeed a movie to watch cable business thank you. and thank you for watching to stay with us were coming alive from paris
