Good to have you with us for the program today im brian thomas. We begin here in germany where police are investigating an incident in which a 29 year old man drove a car intentionally into a crowd at a carnival parade this happened in the town of full mars and its in the Western State of Hessen Police say 52 people were injured 18 of them children some of the injured remain in serious condition. Driver was arrested at the scene in this now facing multiple charges including attempted Homicide Police believe he did act intentionally but his motive remains unclear. Mars and in northern has a population 7000. 00 all they wanted was to celebrate carnival at the rose monday parade instead a day of horror when a 29 year old man drove into a crowd of onlookers apparently a deliberate act. Drove right into the crowd at full speed i had the feeling he kept accelerating people flew up into the air like paper a few seconds of deathly silence and then they all started screaming. My classmate was driven into he has an injured foot and a concussion. More than 30 people were injured some seriously several children were among the injured police say the suspect is from folk marzan himself they plan to interview him as soon as his condition permits were not assuming an attack but we do think it was an intentional act we dont yet know the background the investigation isnt far enough along to say anything about a potential motive. Yes estate premier appeared moved. 5 days after the terrorist attack and how now of course its in the back of everyones mind my god not again but my advice is that we remain calm doesnt help anyone if we all start speculating wildly the police canceled all carnival parade state wide following the incident authorities have set up an information hotline and appealed to eyewitnesses to send them photos and videos and to not post them anywhere else. Lets go live now to our reporter a man who is in full mars and for us a good day to you emmanuelle can you tell us whats happening where you are right now. Yes in fox mass on the right now and just behind me you can see its just to eat away all happened just today theres 3 days cordoned off a forensics are still working firefighters are on the scene at Police Offices are on the scene the car was here until the early hours in the morning this scene is still being examined right now here and. Dozens of people were injured many of them were children do we know right now how theyre doing. Well we know about 35 people are being handled in local hospitals are wrong folks. Than 52 people in total how have been injured including you say did 18 children 7 people remain in Critical Condition to sustain life threatening injuries thats what we know so far about the victims driver himself came from or comes from mars and what else do we know about the driver of the vehicle involved here. Well we know that the person who dropped out the high vehicle into the crowd yesterdays a 29 year old german resident of folk mohsen and hes been arrested on to see him yesterday evening and he sustained injuries so hes being treated at the hospital in authorities are hoping to to interview him a soon as possible as soon as his house will wait so as to find out whats where hes much of a shot he was not a known trial to this incident for its termism because of course it was something that jumped into everyones mind 5 days after the attack in however he was known for trespassing forebear ability to use for corporations or someone who was known by the authorities here in focus this is of course a very difficult day for the people where you are in for mars and how all of the in responding to what happened well those still under shock this morning you know holes in montauk rose monday yesterday in germany was usually a day of celebration away kids were children gathered in such parades full carnival and no days has been that this has been completely gone completely. That that came out on the to show that this attack a much as a not a shock the organizers of the carnival say that of 1100 people were attending and what im 50 have been injured this morning People Industries who are looking very tense and you could see parents holding their childrens hands bringing them on the way to school its a community under shock here in focus. Among you all thanks very much for bringing us up to date. Lets talk more about this now with our Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow joining me now in the studio good morning to you dr brian this is the 2nd Major Incident in just 5 days here in germany is security being tight dittrich unity is being tightened in the country in particular as a result of the attack in hono 5 days ago one of the main consequences after that attack in hi now from authorities was to increase Police Presence in key public locations around the country we still dont know what exact consequences this 2nd incident will have that is something that normally comes after authorities know more about the exact motivation behind this incident so once we know more about what was behind this of motors will be able to react in one way or another but in general you can say that security has been tightened in particular because of the situation in hanna this is of course making headlines across the country as you mentioned securitys being tightened especially as a result of the now can you give us a picture of how germany how the people here are responding to all of this and the kind of concerns they generally was already has a man who has that under shock after the situation in hot now and then you have the case info and where people were actually on the streets to celebrate carnival is a very important day in the calendar in germany where people are supposed to be on the street so the fact that this happened specifically during carnival means that for many people in germany i would say not only for boston or in hono 5 days ago but elsewhere it means a lot of people are into shock people are a bit worried about what exactly is happening and theyre also hoping for authorities to react and as we already heard to increase their presence in public spaces like they did in one now we still have to wait exactly what will be the reaction in this particular case and for us and well have more details for our viewers and everyone can go to our web site as well for more details were our social media feeds thomas thanks very much for that.

For the latest from the indian capital delhi lets bring in my colleague sagna fall in the car good day to you its been down to business for the last few days for the 2 leaders have they been getting any closer to achieving any of their goals thats right brian off to all that pomp and pageantry of the estates really down to Business Today formal the and now the start of these meetings you know president clinton did say that he was expecting substantial progress in every is Like Fighting today its like trade like energy one area where we are expecting some progress of course this defense you know did the u.

Well you know its to be honest bryan to be president im 2nd in india and especially the capitol daily his is this it has been eclipsed a bit by some unprecedented violence and rioting in the northeast daily this happening literally this broke out i was before trump landed in the capital yesterday evening and this is this is been reported as a clash between opponents and supporters of a very controversial citizenship law that was cost by the way the government last year which critics say you know discriminates against muslims and is undermining the countrys secular to decisions but that missing very disturbing images off the spines osten.

A new york jury has handed down whats being called the most anticipated verdict of the me 2 year a hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of rape and Sexual Assault in a trial that centered on the testimony of 2 women his lawyer says he will appeal the verdict which carries a jail term of up to 25 years in prison the times up foundation formed in the wake of the weinstein scandal said a new era of justice a start it was his last day of freedom for the moment the 12 jurors found Harvey Weinstein guilty of 2 with the 5 charges against him the jury found the former hollywood producer guilty of rape and Sexual Assault. 2 years ago Production Assistant mimi haley accused weinstein of having forcibly performed oral sex on her women have the right to say no. And that was you know regardless of the circumstances. And i told her ive you know jessica a man accused of rape here the jury found him guilty of 3rd degree rape and determine that he didnt use physical force but did not obtain mans consent. Rape is rape whether its by a stranger in a dark alley or by an intimate partner. In a working relationship migrating weinsteins defense lawyer resolved to fight back and cited his poor health. Theyre not about hitting a different home youre going to be writing and dealing with o. J. Will be filed but an appeal will be filed and like having him on thank you everybody. Sentencing is set for march 11th weinstein is currently in hospital after a call to be complaining of chest pains following the verdict 0. Im joined now by dint of you culture scott roxboro whos been covering this story from the very beginning good morning to you scott what happens now Harvey Weinstein yeah. Once he is currently as we heard in hospital new york he was on route to the jail to Rikers Island complained of her condition was taken to hospital most likely he will then be moved venture to the prison the prison as an infirmary and so forth so the conditions most likely will not prevent him from from going to jail. Have said hes going to appeal the appeal process will go forward he faces sentencing on march 11th and with the 2 convictions he faces between 5 and 25 years in prison from from that sentencing but even if these people successful its not over for Harvey Weinstein because theres other court cases there is los angeles for example hes facing charges there as well exactly facing charges of rape and Sexual Assault on 2 different women over a 2 day period in 2013 if you was found guilty of those theyll be further 28 years in prison there are also a number of numerous allegations coming out of london dating back to the one 980. 00 s. So far there he hasnt been charged with anything but even if the appeal wants his appeal is successful in new york he faces years of court cases and potentially a lifetime in prison this trial has been so important of course not just for the women involved for closure for them but for the me too movement and for women in the Entertainment Industry globally but but is it going to change anything is it a signal will in fact this. Type of behavior by powerful men in the industry and thats a very big big question i mean one hand a lot of people are taking this. As a sign that if a man so powerful as Harvey Weinstein is the man whose films won 81. 00 oscars he was considered a giant in the Film Industry if a man like this can be brought down and found guilty and sent to jail the no one is free for me from justice but ive been covering the same industry for a long time and. Its hollywood has always been sort of an unholy alliance between i dont know sexual and economic power very powerful men trading their access trading their their their money for for often for sexual favors of young attractive women i havent seen evidence yet that thats really fundamentally has changed at the structures of change but there is has been a big push the last. 3 years with the me to movement Harvey Weinstein has been sort of the poster boy for this this movement that hes been found guilty and has been convicted i think does that a very strong signal and hopefully bring about systemic change but i havent seen again thats the structure when when youre talking to especially women in the industry as you do reporting for so many years what do they say to you about this what. Whats their take on finally and you know the the the the the slogan is times up and time for change and the women in the industry are really really pushing for change and they are gaining more power and gaining more influence. At the moment still its incredibly talk heavy other still virtually everyone at the top of the entertainment street is a white male that is slowly changing and i think the momentum particularly after this conviction will be incredibly strong and i am actually hopeful that it will make major changes in the women in the industry will be leading the way but so far the change has been and slow and not nearly as gone not really far enough.
