she's been covering the story for us from magda burge. good morning to jewels. so what is the situation where you are right now? so i'm standing right now are in front of the christmas market, or let's say the closest you can get to at the moment. because police have quoted all of the area widely and still in place. they just, we moved 5 minutes ago, some of the kites here, so that's a term can actually start moving again. so public transport slowly stops and starts running again. all the stops in the city center of state are not covered. so it is still really quiet and we do have a couple of people just in the street. this. the city is slowly waking up to these horrible news that hundreds of police officers to the point in the city. so they are patrolling and making sure that nobody gets close to the scene of the crime. we do have also hundreds of fire fighters and 1st 8 responders to intone, trying to taking care of the injured people. and now what was security? like if the market before this attack, i mean, normally there are security measures in place. so ho

while his words come as people and magda burg continue lighting candles and laying flowers, incremental ration of the victims and against hatred. the tack has fueled a debate about security and immigration in germany. matthew conditioning is politic, goes chief europe correspondent and a short time ago, i asked him whether we're any closer to understanding the attackers motives as well . thank you for having me. i don't think we really understand the true motives behind it, except what he's written online, which is that he was angry about the way the german state had treated saudi refugees. over the years he felt that they were not given the same priority as refugees from other countries in the middle east, including syria, where germany has obviously been quite generous since 2015. so that seems to have been a long running issue for this man. if, if that's really what was driving it, i think it's probably more to it than that. i mean, you know, that people don't usually undertake murder sprees. you know, over over an issue like that. there was clearly some too deep psychological issues
