the cause, the choice of the shirts underwood layer contributed. it's in the not normal court is recent, you can use not leave to show my the stories are not the international, the russian city or pun, lawns. the loss of 6 people killed in a university shooting, a correspondent traces the step to 15 gunman is definitely rampage. this is the exact road, the perpetrator tube, while he was carrying out his vicious light at the prongs, it says political dialogue with a nato is non existent. i think us on u. k. struggle to calm french i and go over a new security package with australia and german voters and now costing that

balance. and what comments is to be a close for race for the the saga here on our team. we are continuing our special coverage and having a good look at the main contenders set to replace the long serving chancellor and de la marco. ah, well, an awful lot of storytelling. their headlines this week here went on to you in the national welcome to the weekly way. we run down some of those top store. so the russian city upon, it was in morning this week after a university gotten a massacre. a 6 people were killed on monday by a student who cosmo describe as a silent and lonely teenager of warning, you may find the following: images disturbing, and other 4 people were injured in that shooting. most of them students. and many of them are still fighting for their lives. he's causing a rush, cough, retraced the steps, taken by the young gunman, and other warning you may find the upcoming images distressing. this is the exact

road, the perpetrator and to, while he was carrying out his vicious plan and this is by the way, the exec street where he fired at a passing car as he was making his way towards the campus. ah, the gun showed up at the university faculty building, and this is where he was 1st filmed by terrified students. they were staring at him as he strode across the park with a hunting rifle, ammunition wrapped around his body. the me i didn't know, but when i was leaving university,

a group of people had already gathered that tons out. 15 minutes earlier, we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually can be a building next time we are in the 1st building out that it was this little saved us today. ah, that's the building where are these horrific scenes unfolded just meters away from where we're standing now? people were jumping from a height of about 4 meters spalding heavily onto the ground. many of them have suffered serious injury because of that hasty evacuation to my face was among those who jumped. this is him on the video falling from the window. fortunately, he didn't suffer any injuries, unlike other students movie did in, we saw a guy walking across the square holding a gun. aiming at our building. he fired a shot and then disappeared from our line of sight. and then we realized we had to

do something better with us. the system has been identified as an 18 year old freshman at the university and a social media post he made. shortly before he embarked on the shootings, had talked about hatred for mankind in general. and that he'd been planning to commit a mass murder for several years. yeah . well, it looks like nobody is in there. this is the suspects department, that is where he lived with his mother. and neighbors told us that after she was called in by the investigative committee, she then decided to move elsewhere away from the media. attention near the house. we met the suspect. former classmates remembered him as a silent and lonely teenager who didn't have a lot of friends. they also run into him the morning he went to shoot people long to quibble as he was quiet and shy, not very sociable. and he always slow when he walked out of the game that day, he walked differently. that day he worked with confidence quickly with broad steps

. and of course the main question and everyone's mind now is how 18 year old got hold of a firearm. while he bought it legally, he passed the medical test he was added by. it's a hi triest who apparently had found anything odd about this quite young man. there was a push taken in one of the gun stores on the outskirts of berm right here, where the light shooter purchase himself ammo as he was getting ready for the mass . murder ah ah, we were welcome at the store. if you didn't get your name was crystal clear about this tragedy is that it could have been much worse if it hadn't there for 2

heroic traffic police officers who just happened to be in the vicinity. when the shooting started, both officers rushed to the campus with one of them quickly running into the attacker who opened fire. that officer constantine calling in return fire, wounding the suspect. and then he administered 1st 8, or the gun mans and hospital in a serious condition. although he has survived and even regained conscious, i can't say that about the city though hard because of perm is still trying to come to terms with the nightmare that has just happened. and as you can see, people are still gathering at this make shift memorial to honor the memory of the deceased. a passenger train has the rails in the us state of montana, killing at least 3 people and injuring dozens more. the i'm trying to train was heading from seattle to chicago on saturday afternoon, carrying a 141 passengers and 16 crew members. 7, not the 10 cars derailed along

a straight section of the truck. the cause of the disaster so far on a clear, but we understand an investigation is already underway for now the us and u. k. a scrambling commander rick with frank soft sidelining, their ally and a new security packet with australia. president biden has now admitted it was wrong to strike the deal behind. frances back, that's also the french defense. cheap said political dialogue within nato. has all but disappeared. let you to do. it says you need the attitude of the united states . one of the submarine program is a further investigation of the asian that we have been making for months today. political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic lions. donald quarter reporting on the cracks, appearing within the western military alliance. and how the british prime minister is handling the pressure what, what do you say? you have only say evergreen, mutual protection,

a greater common purpose. all this seems to go out the window and there's a bit of money to be made. the recent controversy surrounding the u. s. u. k, and australia is new, security packed has left in new leaders scratching their heads about what even means to be in nato anymore. the reason for nato's existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind the united states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. at 1st, this bat seemed confined to only a few powers. france being upset with the suspension of its submarine contract with australia, which resulted from hawkess's provisioning of nuclear sub technology to the country . and the entire strategic alliance is feeling the reverb. it is such a difficult issue where we see traditional alliances in some way torn apart are

certainly changed fundamentally. but the issue doesn't stop there. one didn't, doesn't even feel like they've done anything wrong. it's 3 very like mine did allies standing shoulder to shoulder creating a new partnership for the sharing of, of technology. it is not exclusive. i did not trying to to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. you states feeling like they were left hung out to dry, the u. s. and u. k. making decisions without consulting their friends with nato's ongoing friendship. crisis airing it's member states dirty laundry. many are finding it hard to see a strong united future for the west over 7 decade long military alliance. nato was considered by france a month ago, year to go by president my call as brain dead. a brain dead alliance, best strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if

you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean, maintain what's in the scanner stuff is in iraq. to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore. is it all right to some other headlines for you in brief, plumas of asha filling the sky over the spanish island of la palmer. where of okay, there's been a rafting all week long and the local airport has that was shut down on saturday. and in the west of the island, hundreds of buildings have been destroyed by lava flows, forcing thousands to flee their homes. the ash cloud, the latest as we understand it now, stretches 4 and

a half kilometers into the sky and an exclusion zones being set up for boats all around the island. and other news of st rallies or gripping powers against the government latest. and he cobit measures. you can see yellow, vast activities out in force with the activists rallies have also taken place and other french cities with around 60000 people taking part. the french government has caused widespread outrage with a new health allowing vaccinated people to bypass most restrictions and 2 reasons to done that now, where activists to blocked 2 key oil pipelines, it's part of a protest against a piece deal. the transitional military government is trying to broke off position groups, and the governments called it an extremely grave situation. warning the fuel could run out inside 10 days. fuller, anti lockdown rallies and the australian city of melbourne. i've led to some brutal

encounters with police. one video has toughest of a man being thrown to the ground and restrain a state police stay they are investigating and warning you may find the following video, disturbing the o well over 90, people were arrested in melbourne on saturday on a sick day of protests. covert cases have been reported on the rise versus july, and thousands of people have been defying a stay at home order to attend rallies. and has been fueled by mandatory coven shots for construction workers added to that a very harsh lockdown measures. the me

the me the the lose can you go home tonight? the

very person the earlier in the week, victoria state law enforcement cold for the air space of a melbourne to be restricted to only police helicopters, a news outlets challenge the plan with a court ruling. chocolate could fly with police approval. australian affairs analyst, gideon ross now gave us his views on the events by suspicion is they did that because they thought that there was so many angry and frustrated people in melbourne that it people saw had be the protest were but actually come enjoining. and we can't be under any illusions as to what's happening here. for the 1st time in australia, the victorian police has since effectively since the broadcast media. once you have

the police censoring the free praise, you're entering a very, very dangerous territory. we are using can terrorism police officers on australian citizens on protest. we shouldn't have a situation where police protest press free protest this wildly with rubber bullets . would you guess police climates? because on the crone of ours rules, you can't gather publicly for any reason, including protesting. i actually think there's an element of politicization that could he upstream police brutality. we're saying it is an attempt to crush people who crushed into 2 baldly tight down. people who disagree with these insane at n p freedom lockdown laws until the end of the program here on a balance on i'll be in cost in germany's election has been nation prepares for life off would be exploring her 16 year legacy and special coverage after a very short break. oh,

i use driven adrian shaped by those in me who dares thing? we dare to ask me. ah, no, they didn't take into account one thing for their own capabilities. i didn't want to face the truth if you will. you know, the truth is that the u. s. is no longer capable of playing the role of global

hagaman. i mean the role which had had assigned to itself and took a weapon. glove. well, you more than the the, this is a weekly here on our teens, a national welcome to the sunday program. voting is under way in germany for what shaping up to be a knife edge contest. and that's one big question on the minds of voters who will replace angela mac or last 16 years at the helm. the unlike previous german elections, voters that go into the polls with no clear idea as to who might emerge as

chancellor at the outgoing angle. america has endorsed her own parties, candidate, autumn, and lashes. although posters have named the social democratic leader sholtes as the favorite is also a strong challenge from a party seen as a coalition power broker. that's all the greens. one of the issues looming over the election is that of a panoramic and saturdays rallies and berlin against the vaccines and relentless restrictions with a laser reminder of how divided people are over covert. angular merkle is taking a consistently tough line on curbs, on lockdown, sparking frequent unrest over the past year and a half. which also the medical time in power has had its highs and lows. and certainly plenty of challenges from immigration to cove. it to being spied on by her friends in washington, a correspondent peter oliver has more. after almost 16 years in charge, the time has come for angle merkel to step down as german chancellor. drawing the curtain on a political korea of over 3 decades. coming to office in 2005,

she's the 3rd longest serving german chancellor of old time, only her mentor helmut kohl held the position longer in postwar, germany, anglo myrtle have achieved something that most politicians haven't at their time of leaving office. she has remained popular with a large chunk of the voters. no small achievement. when you look at the challenges she's had to face me, germany weathered the financial storm that began with the collapse of layman brothers back in 2008 better than most countries. a 480000000000 euro bailout for the banks and managing to keep on employment figures from spiking to high sore angle american reelected in 2009 then came the collapse of greece and the fee, as it could never pay any of it to lawful that pushed the single current, the close to the brink, and

a tidal wave of criticism crushing down on merkel and her government. me do 2013. so whistleblower. edward snowden reveal that the united states had kept detailed tubs on senior german officials, including chancellor merkel. her phone being tapped by washington protests on the streets of germany were followed up with more diplomatic comment from the chancellor. but have always made it clear to the u. s. president. buying among friends is not acceptable to me. one of the biggest moments of angle americans tenure came in 2015 with the refugee crisis. her statement via shuffle. so we can do it. she did a policy which saw hundreds of thousands of refuge fleeing the conflict and syria coming here to germany. something which saw anglo merkel revealed by some reviled by others. each daughter guns, i simply say that germany is

a strong country. we have already managed so many things we can do it. and whenever there is something sending you no way need to cross that bridge, which is need to work and see if these are going to invite the wound or should we not see migrant glows in such forms before? and what we are seeing right now has no relevance to the presence room. it's, this is merkle. repeat constantly, we work with it, but she is not offered. a structured solution is on the chancellor medical actions in regard to refugees change the makeup of the german parliament is opposition to her policies on asylum allowed the anti migrant alternative for germany party to win seats in the bottom. the stag, becoming the largest opposition party to her government, making things difficult to her when addressing the chamber. i

me there's being no easy run to the finish line for angular merkel. the government's policies on the covey pandemic sets off a small but vocal opposition that it was point threatened to storm the bottom to stuck. the me me me, me. the retreat from afghanistan provided the chancellor with more problems in her final weeks with accusations of rifts within her cabinets over how best to evacuate people from cobble. and then issues over who had been able to get on german plane is that the ever will continue the evacuation operation for as long

as possible in order to help afghans who work with it or security. freedom for the rule of law and development to leave the country. we currently have a very pragmatic procedure. we only carry out the security check upon entry to the country. we have now identified 4 cases of people who had already been deported border now in germany. as she prepares to vacate the chancellor's office, just behind me, alarm bells ringing loudly an angle of miracles, christiy, and democratic union party, as they slump to record low in the polls. the chancellor's final address to the bone, the stag, which became they attempt to promote the d. u candidate arm and lush it as her successor ended in a barrage of hackles. not just about foreign policy and nato in europe, who would have thought i have been with this.

german boone dissent for with he is here is the democracy. and this is exactly what will be discuss me. despite the obvious challenges, the merkel years will go down as a time of relative stability for most germans. her policies have made it easier for families to balance. children with korea's employment figures have remained steady while the economy is enviable in the u. internationally. germany has taken a far more prominent role under miracles leadership than it is had in modern times . one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successor to angle america in terms of policy or certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that were seen under her rein fees, role of her r, t, berlin. so we hit the streets of various german cities to gauge people's views on angle, americans and place in history. it's been

a long time. i've experienced 3 chancellor's coal schmidt and merkel. it's strange when you're $54.00 and you've only had 3 chancellors. i think she did a lot of good things for the country and also made a lot of strange decisions. the c. d. u is not my party, but i think she can happily retire too long. mrs. merkel should have gone 4 years ago now. she has lost her way. she did a lot of good in the 12 years before, but now you can see that she's out of steam. i will miss mrs. merkel because i'm not satisfied with the current candidates. i would have preferred her. i think mrs . miracle has done a good job, very charismatic. she's accepted everywhere in the world. i'm not to say to you voter, but you can admire the woman. i think everything she did from 2015 on the wards made things worse. she started the way of refugees herself without agreement. that was not right and it cost so much care of here are just a moment. i'll show you how the election works. a german voters don't directly

choose a chancellor. the elect members of the bundle stock, who will later pick a chance to lead to lead a coalition government. each vote receives to ballad papers for a candidate in the electoral district. and there are 201909 constituencies all across the country. the 2nd valid is full and political party and there are $47.00 of them running for seats. but only parties with more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide can enter the dish dog. we discuss how the election might pan out with one car in time. one form a cd, you party member who described the challenger's the part he is now facing by list when he tried to get it can go on like this. we have total stagnation in german politics. we can't get any problem solve anymore. we have a failed cobra policy, no solution when the flood happened problems everywhere. the country is stagnant, frozen, and the big parties are also stagnant. there's no more progress. that is the core

problem that don't do anything any more. i was in the goodness, talk myself for 18 years. it's completely wrong. we want people who put the good of the country above their own interests. of course that is not easy to achieve, but there is a way, don't allow more than 2 terms. then you get a completely different type of person who doesn't run off of the mainstream germany, it's very well liked in the world or it's because it gives a lot of money to always is in the forefront of don't conferences. it always agrees that it raises from the, you know, a degree in the us on many things. so in that sense, we are still liked but we have lost much of an industrial base to come to countries in decline. we have and luckless done for catastrophic decisions in her under her watch. this was the energy, the complete change in energy policy, which would cause an event in 2011. then there was of cost the euro,

this after the failed measure to, to save the euro, which ended in disaster in a deep depression and the european self and then division and of cause. 3rd was c and controlled immigration policy and migration policy. 2015 and now it's a wrong approach is covered. so it really has a disastrous record which may not be perceived in the world. she'd never formulated german positions. she come up. i think she basically wants to, i'm going to disappear as a political union and so do quite a few people in the ruling class of the governing class in germany. i mean, this is really a weird psychology. so i, as i can't find anything good in terms of her major decisions, i will bring you all the latest on the german ballad right here on arte, international honor and online as well. of course i thought he does the

ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah. ah working machine she popped in, she said, well,

i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas. and we, we said there was a good device to another, shooting another safe part of american life shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an a ar 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act when we're filing on this issue, the other side wind by default, lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs. why do you wear again, were you scared that took it off and i think people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that i me.
