i. killed at least two and injured several more french christmas market this last night officials are calling it an act of terrorism it's the breaking news this

morning. also the headlines the british prime minister's meeting with a string of european leaders every three assurances about the irish border but the message from europe is clear no negotiation. and israeli troops have raided a palestinian news outlet in the west bank allegedly firing tear gas and seizing c.c.t.v. footage coming out we speak directly to the agency's editor to see what happened as he saw it. good morning. it's just one am here in moscow the eleventh night is trust but of course most where the big news is tonight two people have been confirmed dead eleven hurt in a shooting at a christmas market in the french city of strasburg's on the german border the

prosecutor's office has declared the instance an act of terrorism the gunman still at large the areas on lockdown including the european parliament which is nearby videos emerged online apparently posted by witnesses. shocking scenes in the run for christmas again seems a lone gunman opened fire just outside the market around about eight pm local time leading to an iq the police engaged the attackers has been described is believed to been injured in the shootout but then another twist he managed to flee the scene east a large and live event as live seen at the moment as we speak in france's interior minister says the government had been identified and was known to police nother twisters come out there is under lockdown including the nearby european parliament as mentioned the strasburg christmas market major tourist attraction drawing in thousands of his does each year it's you know asco world heritage site dates back

to the sixteenth century making it the oldest christmas market in europe should be a beautiful place to go to the run up to christmas to do your shopping but not tonight we're going to be following developments and bringing all the latest including reaction to what could have gone so wrong here again another attack in the run for christmas comes a former u.k. police officer hey peter it's sort of you never see you in terms of trouble and stress but. i really say this killer now has been identified that came out the last hour or so i was on a list of people considered a potential security risk that's going to raise a lot of questions again tonight is no again we've covered this so many times when it happens you can't get it was by all the time hundred percent but big questions again. you know we always have the same conversation in there are so many people are involved around the edges of this or terrorism if this is what it turns out to be. you cannot keep any sort of meaningful surveillance on the even just monitoring in use of communications and social media would be too much before you

get very far down the list and sorrow. where we're going to keep seeing this there's no way of avoiding that there are so many i think in the u.k. there's something like thirty thousand or something. in france thirty something similar maybe even more well it's just totally impracticable to be able to keep tabs on them let alone keep them under surveillance and so it's six it's a case of just monitoring as carefully as you can and trying to get the risk assessment right we don't know which we do a lot that we don't know anything about it was actually we are in this but nonetheless in this early stage the french authorities are saying officially this was an act of terrorism against the public again you know we've seen all these riots in france at the moment we've heard of but the economic situation there that is causing the real headaches for shopkeepers and stuff this is about another big headache as well in that the big shopping run up isn't it commercially. you know

for sure you are saying how how large your source attraction the market is there are markets all over france and we're all over europe really and they are obviously attractive targets for someone that's intent on this sort of thing whether or not it's. extremist islam motivated or some other motivated terrorism the nature of the attack is just as devastating for the people caught up in it and we have seen we have seen just sort of people going crazy with a gun more that more the american style incident we have seen those in europe but i think all the indications would seem to be that this probably will turn out. the terrorist related yeah i mean france has suffered such a number of awful attacks in over last couple of years it's really been at the forefront of them to try to deal with this how would you rate from what you can see from what you know about it the way they're handling the general security situation at the moment well the french have got an awful lot of personnel in place.

they work closely with the military as well. so they've got more boots on the ground as it were done we have there was no the fellow underfunded though i don't know if we've heard more on that you know is there a general state there that maybe have a go on of people on the ground there where they're going to result maybe. well you can have you can never have enough for this sort of thing you can have an out never have too many points i was making was that they've got significantly more than we have a leak i. and you know deficiency with which they identify and then take out suspects that are going to so little explode on you as it were before they do it i'm not sure they're as good as the u.k. security services are either we've got a good track record over here but they have got a much more difficult situation because they've got land borders with the rest of europe they've got the southern border on to the mediterranean and so people coming across from algeria morocco look at

a large population north african population we know there are problems with that. with that ethnic group certainly around the state around the outskirts of paris so they've got a pretty toxic mix to begin with and so i think they do the best they can this market but you look at the streets it's not what you're talking peter was saying the pictures from the market they're pretty place as capital a christmas except for the sparkly lights are on and we s'posed to be well it is a hugely popular tourist attraction begin esko tourist attraction as well we heard from lottie earlier on our correspondent charlotte do bensky saying she was only there two weeks ago and police were there patting people eccentric setter it's one thing to football odds up isn't it to stop trucks coming in ramming people or exploding it's another thing to try and filter everybody may have a metallic object or a gun or should everyone simply go through those metal detectors was the answer. i

don't think there is an answer when you've got a large area of public space it's almost impossible to keep it totally free of weapons. especially if it's a temporary events so you've got an area that's normally got public access and then this event goes and sort of perches that there's opportunities to hide weapons within that zone so you know you don't have to carry them in so it's almost impossible to secure a large public event like this as you say we learnt from when the truck bombs sort of the truck attacks were used so you know these events will now have temporary or maybe even permanent. laurie title arts but of course they don't stop somebody on for the said it did occur former u.k. police officer thanks for coming in sure notices termini appreciate it thank you well school life no two central europe correspondent peter all of us on the line there the first thought for this what to go just literally looks like the number of

dead gone up in the number of injured to what is the latest i've lost track of it. yes the very latest that we're getting it's being reported on french media which would corroborate reports we're getting from hospitals nearby the number of dead in this incident has risen to four it would seem many people were wounded some of those are said to be in a critical condition now the prosecutors at the scene of said that they are considering the shooting a terrorist attack the shooter remains at large for now a major operation is underway in the city of strasburg to track him down i see him because police have said they know who they believe they're looking for they say he's a twenty nine year old man who comes from the city of strasburg who said he was on the terrorist watch list and he had been sort of understood earlier on tuesday for non terror related crimes and hadn't been at home when the police had come knocking we are hearing that there have been exchanges of fire in the city and other parts

of the city away from where this shooting took place and that may well and seems very likely to have to do with the operation to try and track down this twenty nine year old man who police want in connection with this shooting what we're also hearing is the interior minister of france are expecting him on the scene any moment now really christophe has been sent there by a manual micron to establish exactly what's going on at the scene of. where this is happened though if we look at the city of stroudsburg it's a particularly popular time for the city there was any many tourists there that christmas market where this incident has taken place near to attract two million visitors every single year also this week the european parliament is in session in stroudsburg in fact some of the the first witness tweets that we were seeing coming through they were coming through from any peace that was not in the bars cafes and restaurants that are dotted around where this this christmas market is and it is

really an iconic cared. not just tourist destination but destination for everybody in the town at this time of year. something we have seen christmas markets targeted in the past just here in berlin two years ago was the scene of a fatal truck attack on the christmas market in shalott in bourke. so the situation an update a recap on the latest from the situation in strasbourg four people it seems have been shot dead near to a christmas market in what prosecutors are calling a terrorist attack an ongoing manhunt is underway for the suspect who police say

they know what is known to them as a twenty nine year old originating from the city of strasburg we are hearing reports of exchanges of gunfire that we can only presume have to do with the ongoing manhunt it does seem like this is still a developing situation a major operation under way in the city of strasburg to find the the perpetrator of this attack yeah absolutely ok to your correspondent peter all of it we'll let you get back to some details of this comes from a bit later. a. tough time here right now british prime minister's embarked on a diplomatic whirlwind tour to meet european leaders in a bid to try to secure assurances on her brakes a deal that's so come under fire comes a day after trees in may in theory to their own parliament by perspiring that's crucial breaks it vote at the eleventh hour our correspondent lisa rally's got the latest. no it looks like it's going to be a really tough few days for the prime minister as she kicked off

a european wild win toy in the hague in the netherlands today meeting with the dutch marks ruts and then from there she had to off to meet with i'm going to call in live in and then from that she went on to meet with european leaders in brussels and it would appear that all of those leaders seem to be reading off the same hymn sheet but they are if the prime minister herself is to be believed willing to make some small concessions reassurances for example on whether the backstop on the border between northern ireland the republic whether that backstop agreement will run indefinitely or not the prime minister saying of course she wants reassurances that the u.k. will be able to leave that backstop if it wishes to. point and as far as trees i'm a is concerned she says that there is an understanding between the u.k. and european leaders that what i've been doing here in europe of the past day is

actually doing what i promised comment which i would do which is to speak to other leaders in europe about the concerns parliament raised about the backstop and most has been shown to me from those meetings is that there is a shared to the nation to deal with this issue and address this problem now as far as the d u p who are of course the party which to reason may's tories are in partnership with in a confidence and supply agreement in government well they don't want reinsure reassurances on the backstop they want the backstop agreement removed all together and of course their votes would be crucial if the prime minister's draft withdrawal agreement is to get through the house of commons in the parliament now as far as european leaders are concerned when it comes to the real meat and bones issues of that draft he drawled agreement that there is no room for renegotiation to deal. we have achieved is diversity push to early. and so we can looks.

like you'll be. fully negotiate well if we're to believe mr young cut that there is no room for renegotiation then it really remains to be seen how exactly to reason is going to come back and face those m.p.'s who let's face it she was very likely according to many commentators to lose that vote and to have her deal rejected and if the e.u. aren't willing to make any significant concessions that could win those people around then it's very difficult to see exactly where the prime minister goes from there and that i get in the house perhaps best summed up by the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn the european commission size it will not agree negotiate with her and the prime minister concedes she's not negotiating. so what is she doing travelling from the capital the capital in europe it can't be christmas

shopping i'm sure that's not the case so what on earth is she doing in europe but we're still not mr speaker it shows once again she is simply not listening now of course it's not just the opposition parties who theresa may needs to convince there are many m.p.'s within her own party who are deeply unhappy with this deal and it's thought that up to forty eight m.p.'s are willing to hand in a letter expressing their lack of confidence in the prime minister now according to internal conservative party rules if that number of forty eight is reached that would spark a vote of no confidence and potentially a leadership challenge within the conservative party and that's another battle that fought to reason may to win now we understand that the vote the perspiring vote will take place at some point before january the twenty first so again it's unclear whether to resume a really truly believe she will get some type of renegotiation out will let her win

that vote whether she simply delaying the inevitable and kicking the can down the road. even the limousine didn't go quite to plant trees amaze me to anger america off a bit of a shaky start seems the child what was on the back door the prime minister's car stuck for a bit of quality to two man to an effort to vote in which venture got out and left berlin empty handed apparently as chancellor merkel is said to have projected the idea of negotiating the terms brags that the british prime is now in brussels where she's met the president of the european council donald tusk among other top officials. still in europe france again now after four weeks of civil unrest there president emanuel micron gave a speech on monday night making several concessions to the yellow vest protest movement. it was because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros in twenty nineteen at no extra cost to employers over time will not be taxed and i will ask all employers to pay an end of year bonus

this will not be taxed and there will be no social payments for pensioners receiving less than two thousand euros the tax increase will be cancelled as we had planned the total cost of all the measures is likely to be between eight billion and ten billion euros we are in the process of fine tuning to see how to finance that was because it would you know sort of course to book would want micron's words are mostly useless namely the proposal to raise the minimum wage by one hundred euros but he did not specify that it would be one hundred gross so it's not that big a deal it's just cramps this is nothing in relation to the rage of the people he simply does not care. secure today only prioritise students have access to universities after mccraw reforms and what's more scandalous is that young people have been mobilizing for two weeks and there was no sign that mccrone had accepted any of our demands mccrum has not listened to the young and the youth is here today to be

heard to mobilize. support to listen like it almost and there have been college student protests return to have months and there's been nothing in the media nothing at all we see the yellow vests are violent they break things they burn cars and we're peaceful which is why i didn't create a buzz. the public reaction to president across the televised speech was mixed this is a poll in forty nine percent of views approved of what he said fifty four percent want the protesters stop forty five percent support the yellow best move in the think it should continue. of course it was just last short six weeks ago that the one man called on protesters to take up the yellow vest as a symbol that video there went viral received millions of views here it is. well the truth as it is will. we all have these yellow vests for the whole week starting from the seventeenth of november put on your yellow vest to show that you are with us with our movement. that was then this is now we spoke to him he told us seize

not at all satisfied with macross proposed solutions so. these measures will affect only a small part of the population not all of the people will benefit from what restaurant announced not all of the people are paid minimum wage there are people with a slightly higher wage he targeted a small majority unfortunately this is not the whole population and these measures are really small he could do a lot more he should have reduced the salaries of the rich because they have disproportionate salaries. these are rich in ways benefits this is not fast the poor pay more debts and the rich with zero taxes this is disproportionate this is the beginning of chaos we should find measures to resolve it we are on the streets in the wind in the cold not for pleasure. for the french of come because they could not stand it this is lasted for years not only mark wrong although here force did nothing to save the situations people are on the streets not giving in because they

are determined. to prove a british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london stansted airport in which they blocked from taken off which was carrying they thought failed immigration applicants for deportation was since the charges are considered terrorism related the so-called stance of fifteen could technically face life imprisonment. along with fourteen other people twenty eight last year cut through a fence and. gain access to a very remote part of the. us i was around a plane it was due to pour around sixty people to nigeria and ghana later that night we were there for about ten hours and we eventually cut out and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know is this charge should never have been brought against us it should never been us should have been the home office it should be in that building just over there this is simply an anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was in for and the fact that it's been used against peaceful protest is. remarkable it's nonsensical we need to continue

the fight against a brutal secretive barbaric barely legal charter flights the ones that we. that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's been that's enough right now that's that's what's at the forefront of our might. i mean we've got that show you know this is the video showing the protesters in march last year lying on the ground tied to one another by the boeing seven six seven to get their aim was to block the aircraft chartered by the home office which was to take undocumented immigrants to nigeria garnered sierra leone today than the update following a nine week trial the jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services dro is the technical wording for it this people praise themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police at serious risk of injury or even death due to the actions on the airfield the c.b.i.

has worked with the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless of the motivation while the protest is from cells in the wrong side of the law many people see the campaign that was justified to get both sides the story but earlier i spoke with political commentator david vance and also george barda he's a social justice campaigner. here we have one bunch of lawbreakers because another bunch of lawbreakers are being deported i'm not sure what the problem is here it's not a question of taking the sledgehammer to break and not as a question of in forcing the law something which this group of so called are as is the intensified making little feelings known they'll say and they're worried about these guys who are being taken back ok they didn't legally get through into britain they're being sent back home again with their worries will they get back home again they'll be badly treated even killed the fact is that they set out to break the law of which they were fully aware in this country if you break the law you pay the

consequences thirteen of the people on that flight are still in this country and a number of already been given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who's now the prime minister and part of that has been you know these barely legal flights that are clearly brutal and uncompassionate and many of the people on them still have opened up here these people are acting to prevent people illegally being taken out of the country it's a horrible situations it's quite clear given the countries from which they come from but if they were seeking asylum which of course they're not there because they've been defined as on documented immigrants i.e. illegal immigrants are simply not a lot of why our society was available safe country if i can finish my point i'd like to finish my point place so so they these people are quite clearly and i'm sure george understands this they are illegal immigrants and i agree with george

and one regarding ross it discredits that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be in this country in the first instance then they should have been arrested i was asked if i could be charged with aggravated trespass and then they have their day in court to make their case as to why they were acting to prevent further harm and the problem in the. the case is that the judge effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation and so these people having been charged and i only know that was joint into deal with terrorism and whatever your view of the what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act it was and i know you know many of these people are friends of mine and they are among the nicest most dedicated all oiling let's say for you know we had no particular terrorism we were little to it you think they wanted attention these people are deeply concerned about what is going to be a larger and larger problem going forward in communities in my heart we have seventy million refugees now george minds are going to lead through a march suddenly our shores you like otherwise we're in big trouble i can have my say they were quite clearly

a word of what they were doing annoyed they have been fined guilty george comes on to cry and whine about it here's a bit of advice george obey the law and they won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of not been rightly fighting to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law the fact that david seems to ignore is a the fact that these people it has been proven since were not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what else i think is incredibly important is that all the decent things that we have in this country did not come out of the generosity of power the reason the law has changed over and over to become a more moral and decent and democratic thing is because people have broken it in pace for principled ways in the past what i'm saying is not that they should people no one doesn't demming allowed to go home they broke the law and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just passed which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not justice process aggravated transfers and they were prepared to

face the charges for that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and and if that be the case that might stop other such people breaking into our ports shuttling themselves and and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it the pelt either pay his or right one. israeli defense forces have raided the office of the palestinian news agency wafa in the west bank according to the agency soldiers fired tear gas and seized c.c.t.v. footage while searching the building. journalist. number one in.

these pictures now were released by the great news agency fee to see sapir is that some people praying one israeli soldier searched the building israel's given no reason for the raid it's believed the actions connected to the i.d.f. search for the perpetrator of an attack on sunday which left seven israelis wounded right then promptly clashes between the i.d.f. and palestinians and here is a picture of that history red crescent reports that dozens were wounded including struck by lightening mission illusional two journalists regency was there at the time of the raid he described how it unfolded in front of. the army entered the northern part of from and. in that and in the morning actually they were searching buildings along the way sort of looking and taking pictures because we're a news agency we have for the gentlest air and so they decided to come up also to our building i was there myself and i did live through that ordeal i

do you guys was in the building where we work and it was really difficult to stay inside. one point even as you were taking some pictures from the balcony of our floor they fired stun grenades at us which exploded in the balcony and then they looked for footage of security cameras that were in the building of the streets and they took a tape. recording. because of these security cameras they could have asked. us that they want to put it could have done that and the footage would have been delivered to them. i think in a problem there was no need at all for what happened there was no need to enter the building and to take them by force they used intimidation and force and scared the jitters there and forced him to open the doors and enter the rooms where the

servers were and took their footage without any. approval from from their from their administration on the floor for for you what you are since nationalists just. see the reticular in the mini box recap of the breaking news we're covering for you french media saying four people killed in a shooting last evening at strasburg christmas market although officially the death toll stands at two at the moment with a level more injured some of them critically prosecutors have declared it an act of terrorism the last hour or so since a lone gunman opened fire just outside the popular christmas market road eight pm in the evening local time leading to scenes of panic the attack is still crucially at large as we speak tonight the areas under lockdown still including the european parliament which is nearby police say the suspect is known for them twenty nine year old had a criminal record and was on a list of people considered a security risk.
