Good to have you with us prosecutors in germany have filed charges against the man who hijacked a truck and crashed it into a line of. Kars injuring several people hes been charged with attempted murder but his exact motive is still not established 9 people suffered light injuries in the incident including the trucks driver the crash occurred in the western town of limbaugh on monday Police Quickly detained the driver and identified him as a Syrian National whos been resident in germany since 2015. This is the truck that rammed into several cars in the western german city of lemberg on monday Police Believe the person at the wheel pulled the trucks original driver out of his cab there was immediate speculation that the case might be connected to terrorism but federal officials have dismissed that possibility for now its the. Latest information says that at the moment theres no grounds to say theres a terrorist background to this event that is the status at the moment. And the trucks driver was a 32 year old Syrian National the man arrived in germany in 2015 and was apparently known to police for assault and drug charges.

While reporter dana is in that incident took place and she joins us now from there to tell us floor about the charges that have been filed against the driver of the truck. Well terry we know that he has been charged not only with aggravated assault and attempted homicide but also dangerous traffic interference since this entire incident was done with a stolen truck that he rammed into several other cars right where this intersection that is right behind me so this is what prosecutors are going to seek for at this stage what do those charges tell us if anything about the drivers motive. Well unfortunately not much we know that police are still in investigating all possible directions theyre not entirely ruling out a terrorist motive however based on what investigators have so far we know that the suspect had seemed to have no previous links to extremist or Islamist Groups so they have ruled that connection out but nevertheless especially after seizing some he was speech sticks and mobile phones from several flats here in the state of hesse and they are expected police are expected to release more new information about this throughout the day but as of now theyre investigating all possible directions how are the people of limbaugh great acting to this because that is a rather alarming situation even though theres been no terrorist connection the man has been charged with attempted murder or attempted homicide so he clearly intended to hurt people. Yeah thats correct people my talked to yesterday were in extreme shock one eyewitness told me that you know she would expect this to happen in far largest cities in germany and out but not in a small town like you will get specially in german measures this is a 35000 people town so they were in extreme shock another eyewitness who actually witnessed the accident said that he was also extremely shocked not not being certain whether or not this attempt this incident was deliberate or accidental nevertheless he was extremely surprised to find Something Like this to discover that such incident has happened in his small town so even the mayor here and the interior minister there are all expressing condolences to the families and seem quite surprised by the fact that such incident took place specifically here thank you very much for bringing us up to date a regular in liverpool.

Today germany is marking the 30th anniversary of peaceful protests widely seen as pivotal in toppling the former east german dictatorship the marches on october 9th 989. 00 are considered to have paved the way for the end of communism in east germany and the fall of the berlin wall. Brady meant to opposition activists from the former east germany. On october 9th 1989 Kathleen Hutton hala was in a prison in light sake in east germany she was just 20 years old on this day you could feel that the guards were very nervous and you could hear sounds later in the day close to the evening and what relayed to create a few that maybe what we have heard. Where the sounds are all 70000 people walking. Among the crowd much ng for freedom and democracy was that 18 year old opposition activist catalan model of. German reunification just didnt cross my mind at the time my motivation was things cant go on like this a strings are this country has no future we have no freedom of expression no free elections i wanted to reform the country i wanted democracy in the g. D. R. For months pregnant things had been held at leipsic said Nicholas Church on september 4th Kathleen Hutton how an unfiltered bama it called for an open country with free people the protest was captured on film by western media. It was important to us that our own people in our country could see it and they could see oh wow theres something that has started in my city and its not as g. D. R. Media tells its like they are criminals and they want to destroy our country no theyre girls they could be my friend they could be my daughter she was imprisoned soon after for Riotous Assembly but by october 9th knowledge of the growing protests had spread. Life the best and it was clear throughout what was at stake. Vance for post at our own town full of soldiers and police on call. On the roofs in downtown life in the hospitals blood reserves were being sucked up the guy who wasnt. But the protesters marched peacefully around the city of lights like in the following weeks the demonstrations continue to grow and within a month the berlin wall had fallen and after the in the heart it just gives you goosebumps it was unbelievable to see that so many people had overcome their fear mustered up their courage and decided to join these demonstrations and i think thats asked of us again today to engage in advocating for democracy and to nurture it together. So that when the light of that i think a group always day with me. I have been growing up in a dictatorship for that. I will always the freedom my how but i would like people remember that. Democracy is a is a living being so we have to be part of it. And that there is no one outstanding it for us i would really like people to remember that. Our political analysts and young is with us in the studio simon there were many demonstrations in many cities in east germany 30 years ago why is the demonstration in leipsic considered have been so important i think mainly because of the numbers involved there have been demonstrations in other places of course before this and have been some organized opposition in east germany for many years is. On the night of 989 you had 70000 people who dared to come out on the streets shouting we all the people facing up to the Security Forces also a couple of courageous journalists managed to film those wobbly pictures of it that we saw in that report and they were shown on west german t. V. The next day so this was something that the east german regime couldnt ignore or sort of keep quiet how much courage did it take to demonstrate publicly against the east german regime back then i think it took plenty of courage people talk about the real sense of fear that they had that something might happen you know lots of extra Police Soldiers had been brought in and men in uniform had been seen you know being brought in on the motorways in the days before because it was known that this demonstration was going to happen another thing is that just a few months previously the communist regime in china had a clue. Rushed the rebellion there in beijing the socalled channon men square massacre and indeed the east german companys government had sent messages of support to the chinese communists so there really was a real fear that something similar could happen in east germany among the many groups of participated in these demonstrations christian religious groups were very prominent tell us more about their role in those demonstrations you will both the protestant and catholic churches would tolerate it east germany and they use their position to an extent to support dissidents and usually in a sort of nonconfrontational quiet way for instance by holding peace pray as and so on in fact peace prayers have been held in the nicholai case of the st Nicholas Church in light sake which would be a main focus today. Since 1902 so this is this this its something that had been brewing at the same time the the sort of structured nature of the churches of course allowed surveillance by the Security Services and indeed on the night of october 1909 the church was so full of agents that it was quite difficult for real dissidents actually to get in there son and thank you so much shower political analyst simon young. German president. Will be speaking at a ceremony later today to honor the monday demonstrations will be bringing you special coverage of that speech in just a few hours time.
