On around lunchtime he then moved on to tribe. We went in and started our shopping and after some time we heard an explosion well several explosions. So i went to see what it was about i saw a man lying on the floor and another person very agitated with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other yelling allahu akbar. The french government says the islamist government has connections are under close Investigation Police have detained a woman and a young man believed to be linked to him more than Two Hundred Forty people have been killed in islam mr attacks in france since the beginning of twenty fifteen the government says the Terror Threat level remains high. The double correspondent who said lewis is following the story for us from paris lisa thank you for joining us so what are the reactions to this Police Officer as death well people here are
reacting with a great deal of sadness obviously theyre appalled that this man passed away overnight they called him theyre calling him the epitome of a hero and saying that today harrison has a name and a face and one of the people speaking out today was his Brother Cedric who was talking to francis r. T. L. Radio. On hes gone as a hero i think what he did goes beyond the commitment to his job beyond values he gave his life for someone else for a stranger. Its not even for someone from his family he gave his life for strangers. He was well aware he had almost no chance. He was very aware of what he was doing. His professional reflexes using his mobile phone. I think if we dont describe him as a hero i dont know what you need to do to be
radicalized who got radicalized here in france and as Staging Attacks and thats obviously a lot more difficult to detect and the police will have to adapt this to this new kind of threat. The reporting for us from paris thats a look at some of the other stories making news Around The World a car bomb has exploded in the north an egyptian city of alexandria killing at least one person the targets was reportedly a convoy carrying the such a Security Chief there talk comes just two days before egypts president ial election no group has yet claimed responsibility. British regulators have raided the london offices of data from cambridge analytical theyre investigating whether the company improperly used data from from some Fifty Million facebook uses to talk of voters with political messages the firm is under scrutiny for its role in the twenty sixteen u. S. President ial election and the birds its coming. It crossed over to the u. S. Now where anger over politicians inaction on gun control is coming to a head this is live footage that youre seeing now just gathering for a demonstration in the capital washington d. C. Under the slogan march for all of the lives the protesters will be joined by supporters in hundreds of cities Around The World including right here in germany and in a moment well cross over live to our correspondent on the ground but first lets have a look at this report by our reporter Care Richardson who met with survivors of last months mass shooting at a high school in auckland florida. A star for each of the seventeen people who lost their lives just over a month after the massacre at Marjorie Stoneman douglas high the pain here is still raw but the students who survived it didnt miss a beat and demanding stricter gun control many are flying to the u. S. Capitol this weekend to take part in a massive protest it will be sarahs first time on a plane shes bringing
were all very concerned and concerned with their students and just trying to figure out what to do next the students hid in their classrooms in silence hoping the shooter would pass as they waited other students and videos of Gun Smoke Filling Classrooms and their classmates bleeding on the ground. A few weeks after the massacre thanks largely in part to the activism of students here at Marjorie Stoneman douglas high Florida State passed a raft of new gun control measures they include things like raising the minimum age at which you can buy a firearm from eighteen to twenty one however they also include a controversial new provision that would arm some teachers in school but teachers here dont think they should have to decide when to shoot a child even when one has a gun they want to know who will provide them with training and who will pay for it and we barely have money for paper we barely have money for just supplies i spent over probably A Thousand Dollars a share just on Little Things that mike last year because i cant go to the school
with it the march for our lives protest in d. C. Is their first step in an Uphill Battle For Stricter Gun Laws but these High Schoolers are media savvy and writing a wave of unprecedented National Attention for their cause theyre going to washington with a clear message for lawmakers you better through the road because if you dont decide that its more important point to go represent the Three Hundred Twenty Five Million as opposed to the Super Gun Manufacturers we have in this country you are going to be out of a job a Florida School reeling from an unthinkable tragedy is taking its fight to the National Level to say enough is enough. For more on this were joined by correspondent alexandra phenomena who is in washington alexandra so this could become an event thats even larger than the womens march in twenty seventeen whats the atmosphere there like. Its very crowded as you can see behind me and around me more and more people are arriving
here behind the stage at Pennsylvania Avenue there are High School StudentsCollege Students parents with their kids they told me there are very concerned about their kids safety as school and students told me that they feel energized and hopeful that they really can make a difference and a long one here there are many different activist groups here like live Smatter Groups also people who participated in the womens march very long time ago so they feel very strong alexander were just seeing life pictures from the odds but of course the gun control debate has been ongoing for years except the movement seems to be gaining momentum now why is the. E. U. Rights weve seen it before and just remember at the center who Shooting Worth Twenty first graders were killed but a Gun Control Activist told me that they think that its difference now that thats
their moment and they points toward the park learned from frawley that for all the florida were able to achieve so far they are very active on social media they have a good presence on t. V. Networks they are particular they are authentic and they inspire people now the numbers missing on our screen from the people there very difficult to ignore have we heard any reactions from Government Officials over this. We you know. No makers here on capitol hill day met with this to you did they listen to them but soem far nothing really or know much really happens Congress Votes its to strengthen Background Checks so for gun buyers this bill fell short of extending the Background Checks and its rather unlikely at the moment that
there is a majority among the lawmakers to raise for example the minimum age for guy bombers or to ban Assault Weapons and that is something that students you demands now given the position that youve just told us about the lawmakers whats next then for the students and for all those people whove turned out for the march today. Well first of all of course this march today they also told me that they dont want to give up they want to keep up the pressure on the lawmakers to act now and there will be more marches and more walk outs one of them is playing in april so the buffalo for this continues our correspondent Alex Underfund nominee in washington thank you. And just a quick reminder of the top story were following for you a police line hailed as a hero for taking the place of a hostage during
