10:02 pm
a video of the shooting apparently filmed by witnesses has been posted online. the attack has been called they said it's going to be investigated as a terrorist incident by prosecutors at the scene the gunman who opened fire on those people remains at large i say good man because authorities have released some details about the main suspect that they are currently hunting down in the city of stroudsburg they say he's a twenty nine year old man from the city of stroudsburg who was on a terror watch list there are some media reports that is house that actually been raided earlier on choose day and he wasn't at home police had been searching for him throughout the day what else we know from this is this is that it's being considered a terrorist attack the interior minister of france as the sea reporting back to
10:03 pm
president. we are hearing reports that there was an exchange of fire taking place in an area in the south of the city a major operation that is going on we can only presume it has something to do with that it's the attack itself took place near to the iconic christmas market in the city of strauss book two million people every year visit that christmas market it's the one of the busiest times of the year for tourism in the city it's also an incredibly busy time right now in the city of strasburg because the parliament is sitting in session there in fact the plenary hearing recession was taking part place at the time of the of the shooting the european parliament was put on lockdown some members of the european parliament some of their staff as well were amongst the first people to be tweeting out. reaction from the scene as they were in the cafes bars restaurants or even the christmas market itself. in the case of
10:04 pm
one m.p. from the northern irish shin fein party and fact it's not the first time that a christmas market has been the target for what we are calling now a terrorist attack that's what police prosecutors are investigating it as the two years ago here in berlin we became the target of a fatal truck attack that targeted a christmas market. so the latest what we're hearing from stroudsburg is that a number of people wounded at meze many as five of those said to be in a critical condition after a gunman opened fire near to a christmas market the gunman is not in custody and he remains at large a major operation is underway in the city of strasburg right now to locate him in strasbourg christmas market is
10:05 pm
a major tourist attraction drawing in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year it is a unesco world heritage site and dates back to the sixteenth century we heard from a journalist who was in the city center at the time of the attack. at this moment i was. near the center of. sort of twenty or. seen people running from. her recent. show doing. they had children in their arms. and the pretty scary. for from all of the parts of the city. karlsruhe. nobody knew exactly what was going on. should. that have been some short shooting shooting. the deadly incident in strasbourg
10:06 pm
is the latest in a series of terrorist attacks across france. then as a franciscan then the french national rallies representative in the u.s. believes that the tragedy in strasbourg could have been prevented. this person was listed has an s five hundred s. file so what it is is basically the french secret service have seen this person has a potential security threats because it was radicalized you think israelis in jail
10:07 pm
know he was you know totally free you know to go everywhere and that's the big problem we have thousands of people that under the s. file in france and our governments are doing nothing prison mark on the same as the previous government believe in a fairy tale you know it's like disneyland you know with unicorns and fairies we never go into the roots of the problem you can add you know more police officer everywhere but if as i said if you have people and or an s. file and those people are you know alexi to go everywhere and you can impose more of this friction on french on the french population and through don't contain this radicalized movement then it's just a ground is just a recipe for more disasters. it. was. the british prime minister is on a tour of europe seeking to rescue her brags a deal on monday theresa may in furious at her own apartment by postponing
10:08 pm
a crucial breaks in vote at the eleventh hour our correspondent i sally has more. now it looks like it's going to be a really tough few days for the prime minister as she kicks off a european wild win toil in the hague in the netherlands today meeting with the dutch mark rutte and then from there she had it 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
10:09 pm
a may is concerned she says that there is an understanding between the u.k. and european leaders and what i've been doing here in europe of the past day is actually doing what i promised comments i would do which is to speak to other leaders in europe about the concerns parliament of raised about the backstop and most has been shown to me from those meetings is that there is a shared 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
10:10 pm
that draft kids draw agreement that there is no room for renegotiation to deal. we have achieved is the best you push to get early. and so that looks. like you'll thank you. for the negotiation well if we're to believe mr young 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 most people around that 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
10:11 pm
with the prime minister concedes she is not negotiating. so what is she doing traveling 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 worse than not to speak of it shows once again she is simply not listening now of course it's not just the opposition parties who through the main 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. 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 was the spark of votes of no confidence and potentially a leadership challenge within the conservative party and that's another battle that
10:12 pm
for to reason made 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 not well let her win that vote whether she simply delaying the inevitable and kicking the can down the road. well as i said just mentioned it theresa may met with angela merkel and a visit got off to a shaky start the prime minister's car door got stuck and it took two of her assistants to open it theresa may also appears to have left berlin empty handed as chancellor merkel is said to have rejected the idea of renegotiating the terms of brags that the british premier is now in brussels where she has met with the president of the european council. among other top officials. are political analyst moratti believes that theresa may is unlikely to make any breakthrough on her brags of plans. but we've noticed throughout these last two
10:13 pm
years that the e.u. has been very concrete a very stable in what it's been expected it's what it's expected from the u.k. and what its own expectations are an avenue of that really too much on what they hope to achieve from this britain on the other side has been wavering back and forth trying to find the best you know trying to find the best way forward because internally in parliament there's been such a deep divisions where one deal cannot please or so if she does return which she will i don't think we'll see any major changes or any even little changes to the deal as a stance if you look back to what the initial question was did anyone specifically outlined what breaks it actually meant that is the resulting no on all sides so now when she tries to execute something which wasn't for formed in a concrete way in the first place very difficult to execute on such weak measures in the first place so this these uncertainties are very natural. a group of british
10:14 pm
activists have been convicted for a stunt at london stansted airport in which they blocked a plane from taking off which was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation and since of the charges are considered terrorism related the so-called stanstead fifteen could technically face life imprisonment. along with fourteen other people one. i threw up and. gain access to a very remote. around a plane that was. around sixty people. we were there for about ten hours. and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but we. should never have been brought against us it should never. have been the home office which had been the building just over that this is simply an anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was in fact it's been used against peaceful protest is. remarkable. we need to continue the fight against secretive. rick. the ones that
10:15 pm
we. that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's. at the forefront of all might. be this video shows the protesters in march of last year along on the ground tied to one another their aim was to block an aircraft chartered by the home office which was about to take undocumented immigrants to nigeria ghana and sierra leone on tuesday following a nine week trial the jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services i don't report this people praise themselves the flight crew personnel and police at serious risk of injury or even death due to the actions on the affeldt 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. and while the protesters found themselves on the wrong side of
10:16 pm
the law many people see their campaign is justified to get both sides a story we heard from political commentator david vance and george barda who is a social justice campaigner. here we heard of 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 a sledgehammer to break and not as a question of enforcing the law 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 the number of already being given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where a so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who is now the prime minister and part of that has been you know these barely legal flights that are clearly brutal and uncompassionate and
10:17 pm
many of the people on them still have opened up here to these people 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 ultimately not a lot of the arsenal is 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 in one regard lee wrote it discredits that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be end this country in the first instance they think they should have been arrested as they were and probably 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 this case is that the judge effectively prevented the jury from can. severing their motivation and so these people are
10:18 pm
being charged and i really all 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 why do you think they were doing 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 coming decades is now georgia might are going to lead for your heart should only 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
10:19 pm
of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what i also 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 mustn'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 passes aggravated trespass and they were prepared to face the charges for that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and an 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 penalty that pay has a right one. some news just in it now part of the facebook campus in menlo park california has been a vacuum. due to a bomb threat
10:20 pm
a bomb squad is now searching one of the buildings police have issued an alert vising the public to avoid the area we're closely following the story and we will keep you updated if any information that is noteworthy becomes available. students have been taking to the streets to voice their anger over president. reforms as follows a month of civil unrest over high taxes and rising fuel prices dubinsky was at tuesday's march in the french capital. well hundred c. from north to more than a thousand students have turned out for this protest today not happy yet again thanks to the admission process is due to change here in france they say that that would become discriminatory from students from poorer backgrounds this protest comes just hours after president michel gave a speech to the nation last night outlining his proposals trying to aim of the protests we've seen accounts and particularly the protests by the yellow rice would
10:21 pm
you be violent to the last summer weekends and this is what the president had to say to the nation. because of this crisis i want to reconcile with you salaries will increase by one hundred euros and 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 by onerous 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 it i've been speaking to many of the protesters are they snorts today and they say there are unhappy that macro speech didn't really touch on the things that they have been protesting about who don't last year or so he talks about education reform but they say wasn't enough because he didn't offer anything
10:22 pm
to them when i asked them about what we know for two yellow best reasons this idea of increasing the minimum wage giving people earning the minimum wage a hundred years plus a month for giving concessions chip pensioners they said it's not enough it's not good enough and is too difficult tonight this is what some people have been telling us it was because you were going to city school system you could walk across words are mostly useless namely the proposal to raise them. 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 as it's just crumbs because this is nothing in relation to the rage of the people who simply does not care so you're. secure today only prioritised students have access to universities often across. much 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 listen to the young and the youth is here today
10:23 pm
to be good to mobilize because in the cities would sit at school it's like it almost and there have been college student protests for two and a half 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 so that's the reaction you know from people on the streets shame paris had they still seems to be a huge emerging intention towards the president many people saying what he had also dos night was too little too late but what about the mexican reaction to this is what's been happening so far. i believe that brown five of the revolution in our country next saturday will be a great moment of mobilization but of course i think it's up to those who are in the protest movement. mccrone has become dangerous for france under the guise of measures he chooses not to change his policy and continues to rule against the people if a man your micron is so sure of himself he should have the courage to have his
10:24 pm
measures backed by referendum so far it seems there should be all its own show for it by president mack or it isn't enough to quell the disquiet am i here in france many people still cooling phase resignation saying what he offered last night was too little too late and he needs to offer more than for the moment it looks like the protests are set to continue with his usual set to have another protest on saturday this weekend which will make it the fifth weekend in a row show that even steve fourteen paris. was just six weeks ago that one man called on protesters to take up the yellow vest as a symbol and of that video went viral receiving millions of views the letter says 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
10:25 pm
our movement. and we spoke to the man you just saw in the video he told us he's not satisfied with microns of the proposed solutions. so let's assume it's these measures will affect only a small part of the population not all of the people would 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 for us the poor pay more debts are 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 a pleasure for the french of come because they could not stand it this is lasted for years not only mycroft all those here force did nothing to save the situation
10:26 pm
so people are on the streets not giving it up because they are determined. more than seventeen hundred protesters have been arrested since the start of the alabaster demonstrations french lawyer antonin charter believes some of the arrests may have been unjustified. but not let it through that we should give the justice system enough time to decide whether those arrests were fair considering the number of arrests it would appear that some of the may have been preventative we're now in a unique contradictory situation by law to detain a person has to be some evidence that this person might have committed or might commit a crime in this situation is different we're talking about an authorized protests with the question of legality is a little flexible with which this is happening at a time of constitutional reform is especially justice reform while there is a rebellion in france to reform to take justice further away from the accused and
10:27 pm
we are applying an exhilaration prosecution process against an angry nation i'm saying this not as a lawyer but as a citizen it's unacceptable that. really soldiers have raided the office of the palestinian news agency wafa in the west bank this according to the agency soldiers fired tear gas and seized footage from surveillance cameras while searching the building. little. argument of a. journalist . number one in. these pictures that were released by the rated news agency some people were seen
10:28 pm
praying while israeli soldiers search the building israel gave no reason for the raid but it is believed to be linked to to a shooting on sunday in which seven israelis were wounded the raid prompted clashes between israeli soldiers and civilians in the area the palestinian red crescent reports dozens were wounded including two people struck by. the response to a journalist from the agency who was there at the time of the raid he described. the only entered the northern part of from one. in that and the morning actually and they were searching buildings along the way the soldiers saw us looking and taking pictures because we are 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 i was in the building where we work and it was really difficult to stay
10:29 pm
inside. one point even as you were taken some pictures from the balcony of the our floor they fired stun grenades at us which just loaded that in the balcony and then they looked for footage of security cameras that were in the building of the streets and they took the tapes to call. recordings 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 not 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 and scared the jitters there and forced them to open the doors and enter the rooms where the servers where and took the footage without any. approval from
10:30 pm
from that from the administration of this. is just for me more news in about thirty minutes and thirty seconds simmons. who. is. a senior executive said happily in his private jet after just pulling off quite a coup. he has secretly initiated the sale of one of france's biggest companies. even so before landing the bush he becomes quite disillusioned.
