A heightened state of alert given yesterdays events when there was a truck attack yes so disobey weve seen another attack not an attack in front of but weve seen the incident of a car a large lorry being driven into a succession of cars with people being injured and of course germany has seen in recent years and the rise of increase of events both sets of personal phobic character of attacks that are been writing motivation but also an attack like so its where Public Security has been compromised and so German Authorities have become much more alert to German Authorities have become much more aware of like how to also one of the situations in talking earlier about how theyre now using tools such as social media to inform the public to stay in contact with the public and to try to make sure that there is no false information circulating to do to be Political Correspondent must be on a course which finance thank you. Both as youve been Hearing Police are out of sight arrested one person so far in connection with a shooting incidents in the city reports in to indicate that attack took place in front of a synagogue so its a closer look at where vast incident is reported to. You have occurred at some home about strasser and how as a Historic District thats a day is young couple the most important a religious holiday in the jewish Calendar Police are telling residents of the city to stay at home the main Railway Station has been closed until further notice i was take a look at some of those reactions on social media heres the german chancellor Angela Merkels us spokesman stephan ziba tweeting on the terrible news from hala we grieve the 2 murdered people we hope that Security Forces can catch the perpetrators as quickly its important to follow the Police Advice so that no one else is harmed. So lets take a look at masses of rising from this that some pierre is a security and counterterrorism expert a Security Consulting group here in berlin welcome back so about this the notion of a heightened state of alert we know that participate on a heightened state of alert so sometimes the last i think confirms a terror attack here in germany was at the. Christmas market attack of 26 arabs wonder where we are in terms of the heightened terror while they did there were compared to france germany. At least in modern times and not ask for a state of emergency so thats a huge difference and the attacks have been fairly isolated so why hasnt led to this. German politicians and Decision Makers have been very trusting of their Security Apparatus who always said well where were in control were in charge we dont need any special measures we need new laws to help us fight terrorism but none sara lee measures as weve seen in france so that changes but the threat level itself does not change it does remain very high and we know whether its to be in this of the of the Intelligence Agency for from Foreign Service the Security Service interiors or Crew Services that when the stuff awesome shots constantly repeat well were still under threat from religious terrorism from the far right terrorism so thats just bubbling away the background anyway were already on a heightened state of alert because of these things its because of these things because one of the biggest problems with Security Services and a lot of Decision Makers is the tunnel vision its focusing only on one aspect why everything happen simultaneously so instead of being able to say well were able to work on different aspects of the table simultaneously only focus on one problem which allows another problem to grow rather on monitor and then reach a boiling point like were seeing right now where the far right to the issue of the far right is not new its one thats been growing the last 5 years the last year. Yes 20 years but because of the focus post 911 has been very much to some degree of justification on religious terrorism. Thats created a situation where resources that are catered to other types of extremism has been very hard to come by as a c. C. T. V. Picture of the suspect that weve seen clips of it throughout the. Notes about sicko a weapon what are we looking at here how easy difficult would it be to get a hold of one of these well depends on the quality of d. M. s right now single as some of said as well looks like a shotgun to be honest theres theres this situation where you know does types if it isnt the old shotgun like the possibility emerges on the other types of images then its fairly easy its because its a typical hunting wife right if it is a an automatic weapon or semiautomatic weapon in germany its extremely difficult so again were not talking about the United States where for much over the counter were talking about something that is unless youre properly licensed and monitored that is very hard to come by however the black market in germany when it comes to weapons is. Fairly strong because of the close ties to Eastern Europe and the balkan routes where theres a huge supply of illegal weapons and the possibility to get access to those weapons is considerable but not very high and the gear is where the helmet and what looks like a combat fatigues youre going to get that from any sort of military. Anything that they are specialist well you dont really need a specialist whats hard to do again to come by with these types of images especially from c. C. T. V. Cameras and the quality of the material this is really where the different law is you can buy a lot of these equipments in camping stores in army surplus as you mentioned so its available its just some of them will buy it thinking its proper protection when when in fact its not you know one of the things that could be telling is on the wrist. Jacket whats what does the flak jackets of the developer vest like what type of quality is it an older model that could be fairly available on the market or is it something youd its fairly restricted so all these elements come into play thats with these types of images right now are very difficult to say the investigation has been taken over by federal prosecutors of taking over from the local police there we comes im told read anything into the counterterrorism investigators are involved doesnt mean anything just means its more important but what turns at a deadly incidents from criminality into a terror attack what is the difference well there are 2 aspects in germany they decree is the key card criteria is is that in the socio of criminal that means at least 3 people willing to commit a crime for political purposes thats the key factor so you one of the reasons why a lot of people get annoyed and im one of those because we live in an era where you can have terrorists that are less than a group so you dont have any 3 people and under german law if youre less than 3 people and youre not and so a terrorist but usually the political motivation will be the key factor is a done against is an. Act is it racism is it again politically motivated and thats usually the key factor to determine whether or not its a terrorist act compared to a mass shooting or a hate crime for example ok you have stay with us youre watching d. W. Special broadcast concerning our top story 2 People Killed in multiple shootings in the eastern german city of how one suspects arrested are thought to be others who are on the run at the moment lets hear from a witness now. Throughout the evening. There was a huge bang someone tried to enter the Jewish Cemetery. He shot several times with a shotgun at the cemetery entrance. Then a woman came we also shot she just happened to come from the tram stop. Today is yom kippur holy day in the religious cab and one of these incidents happened outside a synagogue and. A Jewish Cemetery again to repeat the police not having pinned down a motive yet but jewish the Jewish Community jewish communities in germany have been targeted and thought has been increasing over recent years yes definitely the acts of antisemitism have increased not just in germany and western countries as well which is a huge concern and weve heard over the past few years a lot of politicians and Security Officials warn against the rise of anti semitism unfortunately its still very much tolerated in numerous circles its becoming more tolerated in normal circles as well and that. Is a catalyst for for its increase for also its violent expression and odd jewish leaders contend thoughts german political leaders odd taking this officially seriously. Some of expressed concern some of expressed satisfaction but with the with the german history that we know its always a very contentious issue some will say. The thing is it never goes far enough and some say well its enough to find out balance between alleviating the fears of the Jewish Population in germany while not trying to make it in the exclusive issue of security in germany thats been very hard to to come by but again the fact that germany is one of the very few countries where a lot of the. Security personnel is permanently in front securing the different buildings concerning the Jewish Community or the jewish faith is already exceptional compared to other places so the hunt for this suspect police are going to be using c. C. T. V. Images like they said going to be or saying well do we know who this person is you know to police talk us through the sorts of things are going to do well the 1st aspect is less about the investigation than it is about the lockdown right now you know thats one of the things surveillance cameras in germany the information that can be obtained from them is that usually very weak were not talking about the same capabilities the u. K. Of the u. S. Or even france its a different degree so it will be usually postmortem it will be to see ok what it was a tragic tragic story what was the path of the attacker but right now its about the lockdown trying to make sure to determine how many are on the loose can we contain it its all about the containment this which is why biome and hesson for example have said we are going to be in lockdown as well to make sure that we try to contain duals those attackers at the same time its about gathering with this material right now to try to create an image of something but the c. C. T. V. Camera camera material will be very difficult to come by especially depending on the technology because we hear its difficult but so thats thats something weve learned as i said we start with the lockdown and then the gathering of evidence young son thank you so much and. Let me recap the story here for you at least 2 People Killed in multiple shootings in the eastern german city of how the police have arrested a suspect and im looking for others thought to have fled the scene in a car one shooting at a synagogue while services were taking place for young the holiest day in the jewish calendar a separate incident of the kebab shop in the same city police say shots were also fired and the nearby town of lands back federal antiterrorism prosecutors have taken over the Investigation Police are warning public to remain vigilant and staying daws while the citys main Railway Station has been closed. Gak is religious fast correspondent welcome. So shooting 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 for 8 years i mean these are the High Holy Days new year for the day of atonement and that of course means 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. That we had been given up as seemed to indicate that the synagogue was actually the target is something that i think its quite important to sort of keep judgment until we get more concrete information tell me about. What does it signify how important is it. Which is being new year and young people to being the day of atonement are 2 holidays that are very proximate to each other about a week and they are considered to be the very High Holy Days of the jewish calendar this is a time of basically a time of reflection jews around the world fussed during this day the for. Its broken at the end of the day family during that period of. The people mostly spend it in the scene. So during these 20. 5 different religious services that essentially keep people in the synagogue surrounding this unusual. You know you would find people congregated prayers as i said before we have. To. Do. I think that there is no doubt that there are. Places you know there has been sort of. Germany friday we actually had a frustrated. By the police. By what seems to be a member of the same community but at the same time there is a ricing wave of right wing old antisemitism we could say this is the context in which the Jewish Community has been talking about patients with questions of antisemitism in their position in germany the question of jewish life is of course a very very particular way because of the very troubled history of germany it took a very long time for these communities to be rebuilt you say it is understandable that for germany as a whole the well being of the Jewish Community is actually a central political social and cultural issue and this is something the. Do seem to be taking seriously it is routine to see. Jewish communities across germany jewish communities across europe are heavily guarded. Couple of years i mean when we remember. Even. Every time one of these things happens there is of course heightened state of alert and therefore there is more security but any given day of the week one would go to any. One would find Police Deployed at the gates guarding guarding the place and. Jewish Community Leaders happy with. I think that by and large it was very well received the fact that this government put in place essentially a government position for dealing with antisemitism a couple of years ago there is a very strong commitment with both to the left and to the right. Case however seems to be you know these things do not go far enough in the sense that. Sort of. Danger that is expressed in things like. Attacks in the streets and some of the scores studies also coming from the right. So were in a situation then where where we have these that attacks targeted and a general rise in semitism i have seen in the past in communities in jewish communities in london where theres been a sort of a backlash if you like where jewish communities a form their own vigilante groups is there any sign of that actually do not know i have not heard of anything of the kind nonetheless what we do. Is sort of a sense of very strong cooperation with Police Departments and very strong cooperation would Security Forces because as i said before there is a very strong commitment from germany to you know the stakes in the well being of the Jewish Community germany so its very high. That being said dissidents like quite a coordinated attack what we cannot say really is exactly in what sort of and what base of the political spectrum this might fall and i think that this is really what we should be very careful from indulging in absolutely absolutely. That is the 1st correspondent thank you so much for that assessment i have a big story at this hour the news that the turkish president. Has announced the launch of military action in Northern Syria president tweeted about the turkish army had begun what he called operation peace spring against kurdish militants reports from the kurdish and Syrian Democratic forces say that as truck stop being carried out that there is huge panic amongst the people he is the spokesman that sat down at the cant get out and i dont want turkey hes trying through these attacks to open new lands for the mercenaries of the state and hes trying to lengthen the life of these groups. We do not agree with any attacks by turkey or by the people supporting it and the world knows the reason behind the attack on northeastern syria therefore we call on human rights organizations and all democratic countries the European Union and United Nations to take a stance against the turkish attack. Anyone that is not moving against the turkish attack is considered a supporter of it. Yet there was are the result of that. Lets get more on this from the w. s of Foreign Policy i did say that said well can i say to just listening to that speech accusing turkey of opening the lines for islamic states does that sound credible to you it does sound credible because the why p. G. Is actually guarding the camps and also the Detention Centers where isis fighters are being held right now so if turkey continues with the with the military operation and why p g decides to send its soldiers to fight with turkey instead of guarding these areas then there is a there is a probability high probability that these isis fighters could be set free oh if this is a do incredibly complicated situation and presumably you have this is a calculation that he has already made and decided that its political priority lies with clearing out the kurds and if i asked him to make. Gains as a result of that then so be it because because turkey has been part of the fight against last well i think turkey was also surprised by president s trumps declaration that now turkey and the europeans are should be responsible for taking care of fighters be it foreign fighters or other i escaped. To what he wanted he got more than what he wanted to stand back and said yes ok you you go but youve got to do the whole thing exactly so he wanted to basically free Turkish Border from why p. G. Which turkey considers a terrorist organization affiliated with the with the pay k. K. So that was his main goal but at the same time of course he also said he wants to create a safe zone which has been his plan all along and recently he started saying he also. Wants to bring the refugees that there is now like 3500000 Syrian Refugees in turkey and he is looking to bring around 2000000 of these people these syrians back to syria in the same cell and this is the Positive Side the background to this but this is this is part of the background to this the fact that that turkey has taken in saudi generously millions of Syrian Refugees but that is now becoming a political problem of president that is correct there is of course the economy of turkey is not doing well people are losing jobs and theres this increasing animosity towards Syrian Refugees in turkey and it is becoming a political problem for add on so hes trying to also kind of solve this problem by just creating not just creating at least trying to create a safe zone getting rid of the wife and also transferring the Syrian Refugees to the area and hes doing this despite criticism from nato allies and from republican sources in the United States why is this so important to president well like i said its its a strategic decision for him its not also easy for him at the moment at home he has the economy problem he has a problem with the refugees his opposition got stronger in the recent elections which we saw there are new parties Political Parties being developed that are people that are leaving his party so he has a lot of problems at home and for him hes trying to make a win but will he really be successful it really depends how this whole operation goes down and does he have the backing of the turkish opposition such such as how how is this thing going alone or is the whole political establishment with him well the opposition supported to the military operation but that does not mean that they are fully behind it because right now if youre against the operation your the training your country youre not nationalists and also for opposition its a very very thin line. Where the people in this well the people if you if you if you watch turkish news which is dominated by by the government then you would think everybody is on board the nationalists the feelings are running high but if you look at alternative media if you listen to what people are saying on the on the ground some of them are skeptical theyre not for the war on the face of it this looks very much like a david and goliath battle turkey nato country its sent its warplanes and against kurdish fighters on the ground is it is it too plainly an even completely an evenly matched the 2 sides well we have to remember why p g is a group that fought isis and they have isis didnt have all planes they did not have warplanes but why p. G. Got support through us so of course you cannot compare it with a full fledged army but now of course there is the possibility of y p g. Getting its forces together with assad so we dont know where this is about the likelihood is it well there are talks about it right now ok so i just like so i would really complicated situation even more complicated. As sita said from from the w. C. Foreign policy unit thank you so much. And remind the top stories that at least 2 people i have been killed in shooting attacks on a synagogue and the kebab shop in the eastern german city of holland a place of arrested a suspect under looking for 2 others and fled in a hijacked cottonwoods munich a city some main train station has been closed and people want to stay indoors. Meanwhile turkey has us stop it its expected that military action in Northern Syria president magic times but i heard one tweeted that the turkish army had begun what he called operation peace spring against kurdish militants reports from the kurdish led Syrian Democratic forces such as truck stopping cutting out.
