Im sorry kelly welcome to the program our top story a suspected far right terrorist has shot dead 10 people near frankfurt here in germany a suspect opens fire sky to 2 bars in the town of how now he is reported to have later killed himself and his mother in their apartment the general federal prosecutor speaking right now lets listen. Inside of one room to watch over a foot in his apartment but its a false sense of obviously leaving the position that would last you can pay it all sides. I suppose to treat it. A file was found. If you would. Wouldnt i not mine your face video messages and admitted thanks. Bill and went on who stood beside one absolutely pushed really confused youll be used by a new to the east strange because he says you should be seen in the race for the races being mild but you show you im not a woman and this is one father im a shit so i you know john our best interests in our party not somebody. With the media in general has its own set of bill and credit to sign the end of our obligations in will be to find out his fifties. When they are now at least it takes it beyond you so there was a peep comeuppance about hope that would you about that movie hadnt been us who fed it. This is the environment of the company as a lot of the public. Can talk the. Contacts the person may have had to bring. This to me. In this case have been this one is coming on. The. Economy now its about. That moment has also taken on the 1st investigation into a bit. Of compassion my condolences to the. The victims the. Persons that have been interviewed in the i wish that they talk to very soon. This is on the burden we will long remember. That you will be very key for all the pows investigation work thank you very much. You have been listening to the german Public Prosecutor general speaking here in germany after a far right extremist shot dead 10 people in this country in the city of hama overnight the country grappling with this horrific terrorist attack which by all indications appears to have a far right motivations mahela in our chief Political Editor here in the studio with us what more do we learned from the prosecutor general is a very swiftly that it became immediately apparent that there might be a right wing extremist terrorist link that he also said that there are 2 people who are injured one of them seriously and that now the main focus of the investigation is whether there is any kind of potential other people who are connected with this shooting of course more than pointing towards that there might be some kind of network behind it that the immediate threat might not be over so thats where the focus of the investigation is right now i think hes on use the strong and direct on that right wing extremist think and this is also what were getting all of these political reactions here in germany right now why do you think that is. The why he has been so well for his comment there is it is it you circulating online which actually shows him being a bit of a conspiracy theorist also of the socalled replacement theory that foreigners come here to replace what in his view is the original population here in germany he actually doesnt sound particularly sane to say say the talking about conspiracies of keeping children underground in the United States so it is it is a very confused picture but quite clearly not just through the selection of the target but also what he stated on social media in advance it becomes very apparent very fast that this is the underlying motivation but again the key question is also with the history of just having seen 12 arrests of a potential other right wing extremist cell here in germany could there be more behind this than just one lone the individual who believes in these extreme views. Brady our political our correspondent in the field is also standing by kate id like to bring you in if i can. Apologies just being told my producer shes actually not with us so tell us i mean the fact that the federal prosecutor is now involved in this case what does that tell us about what is going on behind the scenes where i mean that has wide implication this is not crime this is terrorism thats thats what the prosecutor believes is the case and thats why its so important where the prosecutor general acts fast i think its very important to note that he is seeing a learning curve that was very swift action from his side to take on this case we havent seen this in the past particularly point you towards the actually terrible legacy of Security Services here in germany being considered to be blind on the right eye with this in view of this terrorist cell that in this you terrorist cell for years going around shooting people in broad daylight at point blank range just simply for having a migratory background and that not being detected or not wanting to be detected by German Security agencies so germany is is on the loading curve here at the same time this is a complete shock to the system to the very fabric to give the city of hama which prides itself of having a very diverse social set up and integration working really well there so this really strikes a community at the very core and we have seen the interior minister over the past minutes come out there reassuring people in just because they might be doctor skin just because they have a migratory background that the authorities are now there for them to protect them and to basically tackle this kind of ideology but also potential perpetrators a very swift there is certainly a lot of concern a lot of fear weve also heard that echoed from a number of witnesses on the news has spoken with earlier today i just want to quickly recap for our viewers what has happened here in this country a suspected far right terrorist has shot dead 10 people near frankfurt here in. Germany the suspect opened fire at 2 bars in the town of hadera he is reported to have later killed himself and his mother in their apartment 9 of 9 of the people that he shot dead were of foreign descent the suspect a 43 year old German National left a letter admitting to the killing as he also posted a video on you tube expressing racist and other extremist views federal prosecutors are treating the at tax as acts of terrorism. Germanys interior minister horst say how far has been to the crime scenes and he had this to say. Gentlemen. We have come here. To these and pay our respects but we can. Also and express our condolences in the face of this incredible crime family of the records of. All of the. 4 public buildings in germany today you all told this is an act of violence. On. The. Home all into the wyndham they dont always come passions which are still here in the city of physicality to the collision and in the entire state of heavy normal this is why we have come here we have the bound. To be put to the reservation that the investigations are strong to say however it appears to be the case that there has been a racist motive. Skift racism is poison. That causes confusion on the minds and those who still has it that the evil comes out. Or hearing their germany as interior minister speaking a short while ago we also heard the german chancellor speaking as well both of them offering their condolences and both of them talking about the poison of the far right of racism what are we to make of their responses to this all this is a clear hint that the climate of debate here and many may also have a part to play and. Continues in this statement saying that now politicians would have to think long and hard what kind of consequences they would have to draw from that we saw the chance to stop short of actually pointing towards the far right if the party of what we saw her successor as possible to. Or clip quite clearly point towards the f. T. Accusing them of preparing the political ground that makes attacks like these possible in the end also today there will be a Conference Call from the interior ministers or interior ministers of all federal states here in germany in view of the events that are coming up over the coming days to provide security also for particularly sensitive institutions i would assume that that means religious institutions muslim institutions also particular. Institutions that are under special protection here in germany this is about reassuring the public but also individuals who might be different and were heading particularly in the region that were heading towards cannibal scenes and where we will see tens of thousands of people out on the streets and of course these are real concerns for Public Safety here right now tell us a little bit more about the alleged perpetrator i mean what more do we know about him at this hour well 43 years old he had a business degree so educated we also know that he then shot himself and his mother they were found together in that flat and what was also a reference to here several times i mean that video that you posted you would look at it and say this guy is crazy hes a crazy individual its also interesting that were seeing politicians they start picking up on that and saying hes you know hes basically crazy crazy. We dont have to go back to far to actually remember when there was an instance of somebody with my migratory this one man who pushed a child in front of a train there was no mention of an individual who might be crazy so this is already being played politically here and many be very interesting to see the debate continue on exactly as youre highlighting there the a. F. D. Wanted to spin this as a one off as an individual the associated attack however. We have to put it in the broader context of whats been going on in this country over the past year and there have been other right wing extremist terror attacks here in germany and i just want to take the opportunity to highlight some of them for our viewers as this right is at hand. Lets have a take take a look now at some of the incidents and then well discuss. For many in germany this woman is the face of far right terror in the country beata she was convicted in 2018 found guilty for being part of the n. S. U. The terror group behind a killing spree that shocked the nation. Together with bernhard and. She toured the country in this camper van killing 10 people between 2002007. Almost all of victims were of turkish descent she froze surrendered to police after her accomplices committed suicide barely a year after shapers conviction germany was rocked by another murder linked to a far right extremist a man with a string of convictions for Violent Crime confessed to shooting a local politician for the governing c. D. U. Party at his home. After he defended germanys refugee policy vow to look became the target of rightwing vitriol. Last october a 27 year old tried to force his way into a synagogue in the eastern city of howler with the intention of staging a bloodbath on yom kippur war the holiest day in the jewish calendar. When he failed to break into the synagogue he killed 2 people in a rampage through the city. Perpetrator lifestream the attack on a gaming website. And just a week ago Police Arrested 12 men across germany suspected of membership in a Group Planning a series of attacks on mosques in up to 10 different Cities Police seized a pistol and a homemade shotgun. Officers also found chemicals 3 believe the men were planning to use to make explosives. And we are back now with our chief Political Editor mahela we also have kate brady with us shes joining us from but you know we have i just want to quickly put into context what weve just seen there with with all these incidents that are highlighted this newest attack. What will remind people you know of what we just saw in that in that piece but it appears that these incidents might be interconnected it doesnt look like it right now but what certainly has happened here is that Security Services have been on the learning curve in the past but basically have been proven to be blind to right wing extremism in particular that in this you murder trial where we saw this underground group kill people at point blank range in broad daylight as i mentioned earlier so this time around the authorities acted much swift but then again why is this happening in a Community Like this what is changing in climate in the Political Climate in the day to day climate and germany and would be interesting actually to hear from katie you know shes been having conversations with people on the ground politicians seem to be seem to have gotten the message that reassurance is not going to be enough theyre going to have to take some action but the question is can that be enough right now you know how are people coming to terms today with what has happened overnight what are they calling for from from authorities and how are they coping. With there is very much a sense of shock here says a sarah as you can see even more people have now gathered behind me many of them already have been laying down flowers and candles in memory of those who lost their lives here last night and also the interior minister. Who was here just a few moments ago you might be able to see out of some of the windows behind me. Some people actually hanging out of the windows some of them even dabbing at their eyes as they watched the interior minister come to the she should bar the hind where the 1st of the 2 shootings took place so there is a real sense of shock here but also frustration and as the german interior minister was speaking and addressing journalists and locals here just within the last hour there were cries from the crowds of people locals from hanna who gathered here today saying that the politicians are doing nothing is what they were saying and that they want to see more thing more measures taken to protect the people here but of course one of the bigger questions is why should these measures even be necessary and of course there clearly is a bigger debate at hand here about what it means for people who live here who feel that theyre still not accepted despite being german themselves some people that ive spoken to as well on my way to her now on the edge of town are saying that theyre worried now that this is this means that theyre going to have to keep an extra i on themselves their own security their own safety whether because theyre slightly darker skinned or whether they have a non traditional sounding german name so theres a lot of different parts to this story that need to be processed here after the shooting yesterday evening but right now the locals do want to see more measures from politicians and yellower saying it seems politicians have heard what they want to see more action and absolutely horrific terrorist attack people there are in mourning kate i mean just walk us through you know how they have been paying their respects and how theyre processing all of those. Exactly it seems a very somber to day today here in the now of course what was planned was quite the opposite of that the carnival celebrations were due to kick off here this weekend in one hour huge spectacle of here in this part of germany and that has simply being can swords and many people have been coming down especially near lunchtime as people come in by lunch breaks as well to lay down candles and flowers and pay their respects many locals chatting to each other and we also believe that some relatives as well of those killed have also been invited 8. 00 pay their respects but of course this is a time of shock for this town relatively unknown certainly outside of germany and not really anything to scripts to say about this town its just a few kilometers away from frankfurt and yet now like in eastern germany last october after the attempted on to semitic attack this is a name in germany which will be synonymous with far right terrorism now.
