I want to know their story. Verify you were born from a former french. News live from berlin another victim of the. Diocese of the french that inmates of subdued return to no money to a fourth person to comes to injuries suffered in choose to attack thats up to police gunned down the suspected culprit last night also coming up the british Prime Minister to resume a defense of bread strategy after a humbling summit in brussels european officials they had demands were unclear she thinks concessions to win over open ends of a breakfast do back home. And imagine finding yourself up against this the atlantic
talent of germanys Mixed Martial Arts one and. If you can keep up with a non can veto in the Featherweight Division. Im. Another victim of the straws book attack has died french prosecutors say the victim had been in Critical Condition since the shooting when choose day its a tragic end to a frantic forty eight hours In The City Last Night Police there found and killed twenty nine year old suspect. Tipple from a member of the public what do you say he opened fire on them as they attempted to question him residents there received many questions remain. Our correspondent Helen Humphrey has been following these events as they have unfolded. Here in
strasbourg a sense of normalcy is now starting to return off to a tense couple of days you can see here that the Christmas Markets have now been reopened albeit with heightened security last night the chief suspect Sheerly Schick out the man accused of opening fire in this very area was shot dead in the west of the city in an area called doff we traveled to that area following Police Vehicles which sped through the streets and its there that we understand that Police Offices had come into contact with a man much in his description they try to apprehend him when they did he opened fire on them they returned in kind neutralizing him and shooting him dead local residents then started to emerge they told me of their relief after a tense couple of days some of them opening their houses to offices sharing refreshments nevertheless here in strasbourg questions remain over Seven Hundred offices were mobilized in this country to search for sure cats he ended up turning
up in the very area he was last seen some fifty hours ago. For more lets bring in malta russian ski he is a Security Consultant and a Managing Director of planned forest in. Some of the thank you for joining us to pick up where helena left off Seven HundredPolice Officers deployed to find one man and somehow he was able to evade capture how did that happen well thats a very very good question i think he was apprehended in a place that he actually grew up in place that he. Belonged to his friends and family are so he has had the advantage of terrain he has had. Intimate knowledge of this area plus you could maybe draw on the Support Networks investigated now and in fact some people have been arrested already and questioning but that doesnt explain you know. His knowledge of the area how he was
able to go through the cracks its understood that he was on a french list of possible Security Risks so how did this happen well he was listed as a possible threat to National Security and he was amongst the more than twenty five thousand. Other people who understood likewise the same category on top he was one of about ten thousand potential jihad is that france tries to keep track of the thing is that no state has the capacity of the of the staff the policeman that can actually follow a person like this the whole time and he was primarily a criminal though not necessarily is necessarily the hardest so it was difficult to kind of single him out as a potential target so given what youre saying ah the police then fighting a losing battle when it comes to suspected terrorists not necessarily losing battle
of course there are mechanisms and place to collect data on these suspects and in many cases there are arrests and there are plots that are being disrupted so the police work is generally successful but there will always be the cases that slip through the through cracks. Potential attacks that cannot be averted because there are so difficult to detect beforehand right now sheriff should katz former lawyer came to us today that he actually wasnt aware of his clients background when he represented him because she cat had somehow managed to Cross Country lines with his crimes what does that tell us about how europe. How about europes Information Sharing when it comes to suspected terrorists that has indeed been an ongoing issue the Security Cooperation cooperation between different states between even within states the secure. Actos the security or storage fees and that is
a massive challenge because obviously in europe the different states within the different Nation States run on Different Software systems for example the legal definitions of who is a potential jihad is for example differ from country to country so there are no common standards across the u. Therefore it is very very difficult to exchange the information about such people and that hampers the collaboration between the states alter your at the head of planned for risk and as the name suggests you you know teaching people how to prepare for such situations but how can one of such a crisis as we saw in france well in general it is difficult for states of we just discussed to. Prevent every single crime of course every single crime like this from a personal perspective if one is in a situation like in strasburg where you hear gunshots and there was attack
obviously active an active shooter if you write this it is necessary to really run first to see distance and then try to hide if thats not possible this is what you can do on an individual level and of course tell the authorities as the taxi driver has done who was caught up in all this what youve seen and where the attacker has gone because that actually helps to track these suspects down Security Consultant thank you you thank. To brussels now and day two of the last year opinion summit of the year migration and eurozone reform are on the agenda but britains departure from the block is still dominating conversation on thursday leaders rebuffed u. K. Prime minister to these amazing leaves for changes to have read the deal they were united in saying the existing deal could not be. Be renegotiated and to resume gave
a statement a short time ago lets have a listen i know its the its been reporting that the e. U. Is not willing to consider any further clarification the e. U. Is clear as i am that if we are going to leave with a deal this is it but my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification discussion following the councils conclusions is in fact possible there is work still to do and we will be holding talks in coming days about how to obtain the further assurances that the u. K. Parliament needs in order to be able to approve the deal. As being in our correspondence max hoffman who is at the European Council in brussels and shot a child some people in on its way in london welcome to you both max lets begin with you we just had to be as a man bashing Still Believes of theres room for clarification or reassurance is a view shared in brussels. Exactly shes not saying the go she ation it if shes
saying clarification and thats a big difference because had she said negotiation that would have meant opening up the Withdrawal Agreement again the Divorce Agreement something that im going to tackle the german chancellor and the manner in the call the french president completely excluded in their Closing Press conferences here the european summit and that means that Withdrawal Agreement will contain the backstop the now infamous backstop meaning the insurance that there wont be a hard border between Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. And ireland which is part of the European Union it also means that this backstop could possibly be permanent if they cannot negotiate their future relations so what can they give or what can they give or if theyre not going to open up the Withdrawal Agreement well they can give or clarifications meaning that they really dont see the backstop as a trap that they want to keep it as short as possible if possible not trigger it at
all meaning that they will negotiate future relations in earnest and as quickly as possible so to sum it up it is theyre not talking about the Christmas Present here anymore that has been bought its not on exchangeable theyre talking about the wrapping to make it shine year and pretty year for the people back in london so shallum here in london if tourism a comes back with a shiny new package is it going to get the momentum is it going to give have it rather the momentum that she needs to move forward with the current abraxane deal. But he did to put it bluntly to critics or to reason mays deal at this summit in brussels has been. Absolute disaster they wanted some concrete concessions from the union particularly on the irish border issue and as you just heard from max that doesnt look like theyre going to get it series in may essentially is going to be coming back to the u. K. As far as that concerned empty handed what that means of course then that nothing has really changed since monday and that is when to reason may thought she might
this breaks a deal to parliament theyre the ones who need to approve it in order for it to go ahead but cooled it off simply because she knew it just wasnt popular enough now nothing has changed as far as the critics are concerned and she really faces an almost Impossible Task of selling not very same deal Going Forward but its there are some minor changes that do need to be taken into account first of all there has been the vote of confidence in the Prime Minister this week what that means is that the Euro Skeptics within her in Party Cannot Challenge to reason may for at least two years so she will be able to turn it around to them and say look this is my deal you either accept it or you dont and then Going Forward it looks like the vote in parliament is going to be put forward in january what that means is that its just roughly two weeks before the u. K. Is meant to be leaving the European Union on march twenty ninth there will be some nerves here in the u. K. And in the about the u. K. Crashing out of the e. U. Without a deal if there is a maze deal isnt passed whether thats enough to convince parliaments that they have to accept to resume a c. E. O. Well well have to see in january. Some people in london and max hoffman in brussels thank you both. Thats a look at some of the other stories making news Around The World was parliament has voted to create a Standing Army the move comes to comes ten years after kosovo declared independence from serbia serbia does not recognize kosovo and strongly opposes the creation of an Army Last Week serbias prime.

Amid daya warnings from scientists delegates from almost two hundred countries are today due to the un talks in poland on stopping irreversible Climate Change but negotiators remain deadlocked on key issues including what to target to work towards and what science to agree on lets have a look at whats happening the stated goal for the talks was to agree on rules on how to implement the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Accord that deal produced a commitment to limit Global Warming to below two degrees celsius but that target has since been declared insufficient a panel of leading u. N. Scientists released a damning report in october stating a strict cap of one point five degrees is the only chance of getting disaster and they say the new target can only be achieved if countries drastically cut for so fuels and slash Greenhouse Gas emissions to a net zero by mid century the vast majority of countries want this science to inform the rule book but for dont the Us Saudi Arabia russia and kuwait refused to even welcome the report they say the only take note of it and that has overshadowed the summit and distracted from working out other major sticking points these include. Whether developing nations should have to follow the same rules as rich countries how they should be monitored and of course the question of funding. Well in light of this deadlock at the summit our reporter maximilian asked in germany is Environment Minister savannah short whether conferences like this can really make a difference when it comes to combating Climate Change. There are
a lot of members of states i think we have Twelve Thousand members of the states and the does really important that we have space to negotiate that we have space to have an exchange between the states and that is what the series of focused on the in this conference and we need this time theres nothing you could do on the world to way you need these direct contact and these direct negotiations to bring it to or really in a successful way. With you at the forefront germanys one of the most support no should negotiate just germany has always been considered a Climate Change pioneer at the same time theres some criticism that germany is not doing enough for example an exiting Coal Energies when will germany do that we are on the way and that a lot of people see that we do here early lot we are the only industrial country that get a hold of Nuclear Power that get out of coal it face a adult in a very social just way and that increased. Renewable energy
one third of our energy is now renewable and that in the industrialized that is so really a good way we are going here and we really alst as. Experienced negotiator that its important to weve building bridges between small island so the developing countries the developed ones.
