From. The Russian Intelligence Service says there was only one attacker and that they had neutralized him a term used when an assailant is killed they havent released the name or information about a motive that happened at about the same time that russian president Vladimir Putin was giving a speech celebrating the work of Security Services and calling for more efforts to prevent terrorism but europe which they were doing this to so i mean that. Terrorism is an insidious and dangerous animal use them and the fight against it must continue systematically and decisively it has shifted but it took out a note saying that this work must be conducted as ive said before with an emphasis on the prevention of terrorism on preventive offensive operations.

S. B. And it also took place on the eve of a day celebrating the Security Services and their work a day that has now been marred by tragedy now lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. 2 firefighters are dead and 3 others seriously injured in australia after their truck crashed into a tree thousands of firefighters are battling to contain over 100 fires raging across the state of New South Wales Prime Minister Scott Morrison has cut short his holiday to respond to the crisis. Chinas president xi jinping has marked the 20th anniversary of the transfer of macau to chinese rule he also oversaw the swearing in of a new chief executive for the former portuguese colony macau uses the same one country 2 systems model as hong kong. Hundreds of thousands of people have marched in cities across the dam to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the uprising that toppled former president Omar Al Bashir the campaign has promised to continue their program of political reform and the pursuit of justice for protesters killed in the uprising. 3 years ago an islamist extremist round a truck into a busy Christmas Market in central berlin the attacker killed 12 people and injured dozens many of whom continued to suffer from their injuries on the 3rd anniversary of the incident but lynas gathered at the site of the attack to remember the victims. The church bells tolled 12 times in memory of the victims of the worst islamist terror attack in german history. A long golden crack runs through the Christmas Market throughout the day mourners have come to light candles this is once a top that she was our daughter and she still with us not a single day goes by without me thinking about her. For me there is no christmas anymore this came by and after. What happened 3 years ago just after 8 in the evening a man in a stolen truck careened into a Christmas Market packed with hundreds of people the perpetrator anis at unity and had converted to radical islam in germany scaped a few days later he was shot and killed by police initially for some time various german Security Services had known about the danger this man posed but they didnt share their knowledge the failure of the police and other authorities to prevent this attack is the subject of political inquiries many questions remain open. The attack has brought changes security at the Christmas Market has been increased traffic barry is installed does this make people feel safe. Through here with very bad feelings. I imagine the chaos here 3 years ago and i didnt feel happy its still important of course its because of the ferry is in the police sort of a pretty safe and i think maybe thats also a reason why you can move around a bit more freely here at the Christmas Market i dont necessarily feel secure because of the police i think. Accidents like this make it more is more of a thing where people become more united. On capitol hill in washington congressional leaders having gauged in a war of words one day after the u. S. House of representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump a divided house voted overwhelmingly along party lines to asa calls of an excellent democrat said trump had abused his powers and obstructed congress in relation to the ukraine scandal after the house vote senate is due to cost we are conducting a trial of President Senate President Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell who will decide the terms of the trial has reacted by calling the house impeachment process unfair House Democrats embark on the most rock least thorough and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history. This is. For in a. In american. Lets not go to surprise whatsoever we cant forget of course that the senate is controlled by the republicans they have 53. 00 senators compared to the democrats 45. 00 and then there are 2 independents so you know we saw with the vote in the house of representatives that republican support for President Trump is and you know here in the United States it said that in the senate it wont be any different and were seeing that as well as well from the reaction from many of the senators here who expressed their support for president but we do also have to note that you know removing the president from office in the senate works very differently and the democrats would need a 2 thirds majority which is a very difficult feat for the democrats now the focus from them is to avoid the senate trial from having absolutely no witnesses because having no witnesses would sort of hinder their chances of perhaps turning the situation around and what weve seen is that the Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not committed to designating what theyre called as the house managers from delivering the impeachment articles to the senate thats a necessary step in order to get this next stage under way and. Basically you know the trial would begin in january thats whats expected but of course if its held off you know it could be detrimental to the republicans in some ways because what theyre democrats are hoping is that if they hold off from the beginning of the trial and then perhaps the witnesses are actually brought in the republicans may lose a support for President Trump amongst the american public. Ok briefly just away from capitol hill how americans reacting to this impeachment vote. Well tell me this is an incredibly divided country i mean polls after polls are showing how divided in fact on thursday one poll that was released just briefly give you some of the figures 42 percent said the should the senate should remove President Trump 29 percent said the senate should dismiss charges against President Trump and then in 6 polls that were carried out in the beginning of this month over about a 10 day period at 46 percent said they favored impeachment and the removal of President Trump compared to 49 percent who didnt so tell me as i said before that this is a very divided country all right publicly and yes in washington as always thank you.

For. The Space Shuttles were once readied for a lift off and this hangar for the past few years its where the starliner has been built. A man transport system for the next generation nasa is having it developed and built by boeing a private company.
