Of the affected city energies people to stay indoors after a spike in cases. You know what do you do go out and did you know that qatar is going to return in the world im stepping back or on up toward north west coast work on that story coming up. For the shooting deaths of at least 9 people is being investigated in germany as a far right attack a lone gunman opened fire on 2 sheesha cafes in the western city of hung out near frankfurt on wednesday night some of the victims are reportedly kurdish the 43 year old suspect was later found dead in his home police say theyve also found the body of the suspects mother at his house all right lets go live now to berlin and our correspondent dominic kane and take us through the sequence of events and dominick. What happened at least this is what the author of his believe happened is that the perpetrator drove his car to the 1st of 2 shisha bars to places where members of the Kurdish Community were known well known to frequent these 2 places this shisha bars found a way into the bar and then opened fire with a weapon which he held legally this was a man who had a sporting license to hunt so he used the weapon he had legally to fire indiscriminately in the 1st of these shisha bars made his way out of the 1st venue back to his car drove to a different part of the town and then did the same thing again in a shoe shop again in a place which was known to be frequented by members of the Kurdish Community opened fire indiscriminately killed people there that back to his car and then drove home and then at some point in the intervening time use the weapon to kill his 72 year old mother and then eventually to take his own life the lines of inquiry that were for a teaser exploring particularly revolve around the far right because on his web site on his home page they found evidence which they believe points to him having a far right motive to have been posting things on social media which all point in that direction and dominick i mean from the outside it does appear as if there is a slow and incremental rise in the activities of people with these kinds of affiliations would that be accurate. Certainly thats something that people are concentrating on this morning given what has happened given what the officials have been saying its worth pointing out that in the course of the past 12 months or so perhaps a little bit longer than that there have been several incidents and incidences of what officials call far right motivated violence firstly last friday 12 people were arrested in raids across eastern germany all accused of being in the initial stages of plotting violent acts then last year in the autumn people will remember the shooting dead of 2 people outside a synagogue in the eastern german city of halle a 27 year old man is currently in custody awaiting trial for their murder and then earlier in the air in the early summer of last year a prominent christian democrat mayor of a western german town vile he was targeted and shot dead by a person who went on to be shown to have links to far right violence in this country its worth pointing out that many politicians have said that this is on the rise that more needs to be done the interior ministry which obviously polices this country and so far as it can house announced plans in the last 67 months to increase the number of officers to investigate such incidents one final thought the german chancellor Angela Merkel is due to make some sort of statement about what has happened in our last night and we expect that in the not too distant future shes already canceled a visit to an east german city to be able to monitor what has happened and how we expect her to speak relatively shortly all right thanks for that dominic cain live in belin. South korea has reported its 1st death from coronavirus theres been a spike in the number of cases within the last 24 hours the total there now is 104. 00 the majority in the city of daraa guus where 2 and a half 1000000 citizens have been urged by the mayor to say inside and that outbreak has been traced to a Church Congregation japans government meanwhile is defending its handling of infections on the diamond princess cruise ship the vessel has been in coroutines since early this month and in that time the number of confirmed cases on board has risen to more than 602 elderly passengers died after being taken to hospital and then theres china which is now changed how its actually reporting cases of the virus and that has led to a significant drop in the number of new infections there were 394 on when say down dramatically down from almost 1800 the day before. So in japan theres been a somewhat mixed reaction to how the authorities everything dealing with the cruise ship mcbride reports from the port in your. Quarantine behind them passengers from the diamond princess have been disembarking in the hundreds. Many of them taken by bus to the middle of yokohama with mixed emotions about their shared ordeal could hardly do much to work every day i would worry that i was going to test positive one. Of the most and when the number of people getting infected spiked we knew they were sick in your infections so i was afraid to leave my cabinet then community as i knew the crew members did very well so i was grateful to them. The passengers were then allowed to continue their Journeys Home sharing public transport with fellow japanese who have mixed emotions of their own so ours was your girl i feel so sorry for them its a good idea to release them they were going to get sick very quickly given what Foreign Countries say their quarantine the people for a certain time so i want to plan to do the same. The confirmed deaths of 2 elderly passengers have raised concerns for those still on board and for foreign governments who are still arranging to fly home their citizens but insisting they undergo further quarantine still japan is standing by its decision to end the quarantine of the cruise ship you were in to you are doing the ship does not compare to a hospital we are working there with temporary measures we have a basic standard but various issues there that pointed out every day we keep correcting these issues on a daily basis with cases being reported across japan this outbreak is causing increased disruption Public Events have been scaled back or canceled including an annual Birthday Celebration for the emperor and there are growing fears if this goes on about the possible impact on the upcoming summer olympics in tokyo. The passing cruise liner sounds its horn in a show of support for the diamond princess for japan finally resolving this crisis is a priority and it knows the world is watching robot pride aljazeera yokohama japan. And to go live now to a German Ground hes in hong kong forests and Adrian Fassel lets have a look at south korea because for the longest time they reported very very few cases now we seem to have a quite an intense cluster. Thats right we have now a huge increase today in south korea 53 new cases which means we now have more than 100 confirmed cases in south korea northeast asia it seems japan and south korea now very much in the frontline of this particular virus now the focus on thursday has been on the city of daegu in southeast korea that is where the both of these new infections have occurred and the focus has been very much on a religious group there because it seems that a 61 year old woman who was a worshipper with this group became infected a week ago that was confirmed but she had also been in contact with more than 166 other people and of course now there is a an urgent attempt being made to find all those people the cheek been in contact with the mayor of daegu sent out a real desperate plea earlier on thursday evening saying that he was very worried that local hospitals would not be able to cope if this indeed turned out to be a widespread outbreak so hes appealing to the central get to the main government and so to provide as much medical aid as they can and quickly so the focus in daegu is going to be containment theres also concern that it spread to surrounding areas of this city with a population of about 2 and a half 1000000 and meanwhile in china its reverted to the a vision no model by which it was calculating the number of new infections of corona virus do we know why the impact seems to have been at a dramatic reduction in the number of cases that are reportable. But we dont know why china has been changing the way that it tests people for this fire as you know last week of course it announced it was changing its testing criteria now its adjusted that again but what it seems to be saying is that the new way the new method for testing people is much more stringent than before but of course people studying the more positive figures coming out of china on thursday which show a significant drop in the death rate and the infection rate might be saying well is this another case of official manipulation of these statistics china says no its evidence that it is containing the virus and were seeing that playing very much into the narrative on state television more positive stories about more people leaving hospital having recovered from the virus and that was very much the tone of the Chinese Foreign minister when he when he attended a gathering of asian Foreign Ministers in the Southeast Asian country of laos he said quotes chinas forceful actions of contain the spread of this fire so he got quite a good reception there and of course weve also been seeing more evidence on thursday martin of china going very much on the defensive on wednesday of course it announced it was a spare expelling 3 journalists working for the wall street journal accusing the paper of of racism even though the 3 journalists its expelling are all Ethnic Chinese although they travel on foreign passports and you got the feeling also with the Foreign MinistryDaily Briefing for the media on thursday that china was starting to lash out in other ways to it says that its very angry that some countries have been accusing china of trying to create sort of micro but microbiology call warfare and it says that countries have to sort of guard against making those sort of wild accusations so china yes lashing out on multiple levels right now.
