A little earlier on the president. Announced that his countrys military action in Northern Syria house because hes called the operation a peace spring against a kurdish militants. Is in istanbul while come back yulia. Turkey taking on kurdish militants were talking were talking about 2 very an equally matched opponents were talking about a nato country against what are essentially of rebels on the ground. Well that strongly depends on the perspective youre taking for the turkish government these militants are a National Security threat they are saying these are terrorists they are linked to the p. K. K. That has waged a decades long insurgency here in turkey with an estimated 40000 People Killed so theyre saying we need to protect our borders here thats why this operation is necessary its the 3rd Turkish Military operation in north and syria the 1st one was in 2016 but this one now might be one of the most complicated here because the kurdish fighters in north in syria have said they would fight the turkish army until the bitter and they have called on civilians to defend the territory that they have called to have 3 days of general mobilization here so they are not going to give up this area without a fight and these people are equipped and trained by the u. S. Military and that they have battled the socalled Islamic State so this is not just an easy military intervention here for turkey this is going to be a conflict that can drag on for weeks for months possibly. Reaction what are we hearing what to expect from the big players in the iran and russia. Well there are some talks still ongoing as i understand has summoned the u. S. Ambassador just a little earlier interesting lee there have been talks between unger and mosco again and russia now at least 2 according to one lawmaker that was quoted in the media said that they wont get involved into this conflict but they have turkey to refrain from doing anything that could endanger the larger socalled Peace Process in syria iran has turkey not to go a hat with this military intervention so im sure. All right now behind the scenes a lot of talks all still ongoing and most importantly maybe the Syrian RegimeBashar Al AssadsForeign Ministry earlier today issued a statement that they would be fighting back any turkish aggression with older means illegitimate means at their hands. The house is playing with the turkish public. Do the does the turkish public president assault well the turkish public and that something very special about turkey actually is quite supportive of this operation because you know for years there is talking here in turkish in turkey that there has to be something something has to be done the against the p. K. K y p g terrorism threat so i havent heard of any major opposition here except for the Pro Kurdish Party inside turkey the media reporting has been very supportive of this open ration patry also even nationalist saying that the turkish public stands united behind the turkish army so public support in these kinds of. Crises is usually very high for military action. Its reminder vivier the big story were following for you at this hour at least 2 people have been killed in attacks in the eastern german city of hala a Police Arrested a suspect in the looking for others thought to have fled the scene one of the shootings that happened near a synagogue while services were taking place for young kapoor the holy stay in the jewish calendar there are reports of a separate incident at a kebab shop in the city the people who are police say shots have also been fired in the town of landsberg thats about 15 kilometers away federal antiterrorism prosecutors are now taking over the investigation the police are warning the public to remain alert and german railways or forces of confirm that they have closed the cities that main train station until further notice. More from a Political Correspondent to thomas welcome thomas lets start with the what is known about the attackers ok so what we have to understand 1st what is known to then try and also look at what is a know what authorities are now dealing with an investigative we know what is known we know from police in holland that 2 people have died and they also mentioned specifically that they believe that theres more than one person involved so more than one possible shooter thats something that they clearly said from the beginning when only the 1st information was coming out has been one person arrested the question now is what the link is between the person arrested on the possible shooters with the whether the person arrested is one of the possible shooters or someone from the surrounding from be related to them in one way or another we dont know much more about the attack because they have been there has been some information coming from. That 2 suspects could have hijacked a car and could be on their way to munich or at least driving on the road to munich but that is a lead that police are still obviously following so thats what we know so far about about the suspects what we know about the victims it has been reported that the 2 people who died one man and one woman they have also been such reports about a few injured people but that i get me something that still has to be developed and researched and as far as the reaction is concerned obviously in high level and in the surrounding areas a sense of of shock and a sense of uncertainty as well the police and also other authorities have asked people to stay indoors to remain calm to follow the instructions by the police in fact something that we heard also from a spokesman but asking people to follow the polices instructions from stay with us so what we do at this stage 2 people that people were injured suspects thought to be still on the run one suspect in custody lets hear from a witness who was who saw the kebab shop attack heres his account. Im on one and i saw a man in a helmet he was right outside a combat shop behind an old lady he was wearing an army uniform everything looked very militaristic he had a weapon in his hand in the mosque on. And it looked like he had a hand grenade of Something Else maybe if i cracked and he wanted to throw it into the shop. But it hit the door and exploded in front of the old woman with the huge bang then he came into the shop and opened fire. And everyone ran away shouting and screaming towards the staircase which was heading out the back of the shop. And i saw the entrance to the toilets where i hear and while everyone else tried to find a way out or even a window. That wasnt on that and also going on there was another loud explosion and a lot of shouting opposition that picked. Up on by 20 and then suddenly grew silent. Before i rang the police and they said i should stay in the toilet because i just wanted to take said my family and my parents. Eventually i heard the Police Arrive they wanted to know if someone was there they secured the area and i yelled out that i was there i held up my arms and they briefly search me and. Mr hauck with. As i cant say a lot about the attackers nationality because he was wearing a mosque but there were some gaps in it and im guessing it was a white guy based on that. Doesnt buy stuff but im really not so sure because i was in a state of shock at the time. And i can say that he was very determined to get into this particular combat shop. Gave everything happened so quickly in the 1st few seconds after he opened fire and everyone ran away right after that. I dont remember how long i was hiding in the toilet it probably wasnt longer than 10 minutes but it felt a lot longer. This crisis to the. Thats a witness from one of the attacks that happened today in that 2 People Killed today a sequence of events political most Political Correspondent thomas spyro is here with us thomas one of the attacks also happens close to a synagogue a Jewish Cemetery yes thats the information that has been reported on. That point at least according to some analysis to a possible. Motivation although i would like to clearly stress that the motives have not been officially confirmed that is the big unknown what might have been the motive behind this incident in holly and the surrounding area when we look at the possible motivation of the possible motive we also have to understand that now the investigation has been taken over by public federal prosecutors and they normally take over cases when they believe that it can affect the state and one incident that kind of affect the state that is normally described as such is when it is related to terrorism so the fact is now authorities are investigating whether this incident in could in any way be related to terrorism or could have a terror motive the answer is unclear but thats where at least authorities are now investigating theyre trying to put all the pieces together to try and understand not only who was behind this you already asked about the possible attack us but also what the motivation might have been behind this incident so were going to have a Police Spokesman in just a 2nd but from what youre saying the fact that im to tara investigators are looking at this does not necessarily mean there was a terrorist birds of a shot certainly correct. Local police have been briefing the press the latest developments lets say whatever saying. We have at least 2 crime scenes one here on this street where one person was shot dead and one near. Beyond the informant soon. We were told one perpetrator was on the run and this person was armed. We also got information there were possibly several perpetrators involved but we cant confirm that at this time. But there was at least one perpetrator this person fled in a vehicle we followed that lead and this vehicle was stopped outside the house and the alleged perpetrator was taken into custody. So tell us were talking about Police Hunting perpetrators in 2 separate locations were talking about police trying to hunt of a riot of or at least many perpetrators more than one thats something that it was absolutely evident from the start and in this particular case police have to deal not only with information that they can get for example from witnesses or from cordoning off the scene but they also have to deal with a lot of unconfirmed reports and unconfirmed information that is spread very easily for example on social media and thats something that weve seen also today police in saxony where leipzig is located and also the local police in holly denying for example reports that a suspect is in or around there was something that police in saxony and the police in how they are also saying that they could not confirm reports that they had been a hostage situation so police is not only there to confirm what they know theyre also very busy trying to deny reports or deny information that has not been confirmed and that could lead police in another direction and that is something that they have to deal with in these kind of situation not only confirmed information but also a lot of information that is spread without any base. Than 2 dead others injured suspect still at large yes one person detained and the information the investigation is has now been taken over by federal prosecutors tell us about a thank you. Police in the city of hama say theyve arrested one person in connection with those shootings reports indicate one attack took place in front of a synagogue well take a closer look at where the incidents are 42 of the current thats home both. Historic district today is your poor the most important religious holiday the jewish Calendar Police told residents in the city to stay in their homes the main road station there has been closed until further notice. Thomas was say we still dont know the motivation for these attacks but given that today is young capone one of the shootings he said to have happened near a synagogue and there a jewish calendar let us look at matters arising from that gap is religious has correspondent welcome. So shooting at close to the synagogue what are you hearing well i mean you know it is sort of the perfect target in some sense i mean if one is looking to us like the Jewish Community today for the main day in which the Jewish Community congregate itself in its house of prayers i mean these are the High Holy Days new year for the day of atonement and that of course means that is a group that is sort of a lot more in these conditions of course a lot more a lot more exposed at the very same time
