our political correspondent thomas sparrow has been following all the latest developments on this story for us hi thomas some very stark words there from the interior minister tell us more about what was said at that press conference essentially what was said was a long list of challenges that authorities have not only in the next few days and weeks but i would also say in the long term when it comes to tackling one of germany's biggest challenges as we just saw there from their home and that is the challenge of far right extremist violence it has been described as a state is one of the biggest challenges the country's facing now a days. long list of tasks and challenges begins with for example more police presence at synagogues in holly and the surrounding areas but it also goes beyond that in trying to ensure safety measures across germany and the homogeneous safety measures across germany trying to review legal issues as well trying to and i think that's very important also understand more what happens online what happens on the docket and trying to understand what authorities exactl

a stark about this more now with did of use a thomas sparrow from our political bureau here in the studio good morning thomas morning brian we've just seen some incredible images of the hard to forget if you saw them all those years ago when the wall fell to the germans still feel that same enthusiasm that they did back then i probably wouldn't describe it as enthusiasm older probably when they do look at those images they feel very happy about it most germans i think do feel that reunification is a very important step for job many in fact a recent poll also stressed that a majority. germans feel that unity has been achieved the rest till very clear differences and we'll speak about those differences in a moment but i would say that there is a big understanding among germans about what unites the country on the one hand but also among what divides the country and what tasks still need to be achieved. what are the divisions what are the tasks that still need to be addressed that have been at home i would say there are mental differences on the one hand perceived differences if you will but

well i'm joined now by thomas sparrow a political correspondent thomas developing story still a lot of unknowns but tell us what we do know so well there is one more piece that we now do know and that is police in had it mentioning 7 minutes ago on twitter that they have arrested one person related to this case still asking people to remain indoors to be very careful and they have said that they've got a very big operation underway to try and stabilize the situation in they had previously mentioned that they could be possible shooters on the run they spoke in employer all so that's probably why they're still looking for other people who might have been involved in this case and but want to rest so far yes i had something mentioned by the police in colleges now in social media they've been rather quick in presenting their information earlier they had also specifically said that 2 people had died that multiple shots had been heard and the possible shooters had fled in a car and as kate just said from the city of leipzig they had also asked people to remain indoors and remain safe kate al
