The driver was also injured he was arrested at the scene and faces several charges including attempted Homicide Police believe that he acted intentionally but his motive for maines unclear. To celebrate carnival the rules monday parade however turned into a scene of horror when a 29 year old man drove into the crowd causing mayhem his actions apparently deliberate. 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. I mean my classmate was driven into he has an injured foot and a concussion you know. Dozens were injured some seriously and several children were among those heart police say the suspect is a local man whom they plan to interview as soon as his conditions permit begin for her not assuming an attack but we do think it was an intentional act we dont yet know the background of the investigation isnt far enough along to say anything about a potential motive cases state premier appeared moved. 5 days after the terrorist attack in hama 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 police canceled all carnival parade state wide following the incident authorities have set up an information hotline an appeal to eyewitnesses to send them photos and videos and not to post them anywhere else. Reporter emmanuelle a chase is in full mars and she joins us now emmanuel whats happening where you are. Well as you can see behind me forensics are still working on this scene there at the scene there here industries where driver that man drove into a crowd yesterday he injured around 50 people firefighters say are still police cars and Police Officers here investigating so the car has been removed earlier on today but for instance i see working here on the scene what more do we know about those who have been injured. Well 52 people in total have been injured including 18 children as 35 people remain in hospital of course whats particularly shocking to hear today and thats what people have been telling me this morning is that the driver of peace to have over really driven into a crowd with many children what we heard in the report that there was 1st a silence and then people started crying shouting that is something that people hear this morning in folks martin book martin harbin repeating to me that something that really shocked them to violence the intensity of i just happened and one of the Big Questions is what the strivers motive could have possibly have been do we have any further information on that front. On that front we have no further information we know that hes a 2029 year old man who is from. Fork mohsen and hes been taken to hospital because he sustained he sustained some injuries he seemed unable to speak so authorities cannot interview him i have to question him at the moment to us as to his. Soon as he will be able to do so he will be questioned apparently he doesnt have an extremist background but hes known to police for coercion the for trespassing and for verbal abuse but otherwise his motivation remains unclear and we have to remember that just 5 days ago there was an attack and handled that attack being being investigated as having. Terrorist leanings how worried are germans about security right now in the country. Well its a pretty big issue right now i know so youve just reminded it that happens just 5 days after the hano attack and again in this state of hessen so here the people are really still under the shock of children have been apparently targeted thats what i witnessed eyewitnesses have been saying this morning for these hasnt confirmed that but the fact that a 2nd attack happened he saw an amount of time east really worrying population not only here in folks mohsen but as so many as a whole correspondent emmanuelle a taste thank you. U. S. President donald trump has been talking trade with Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on the 2nd day of his visit to india the talks were part of a busy day in the indian capital delhi 2 leaders both Business Leaders and official representatives and took part in the usual ceremonies for such occasions talks on trade had been dragging and the president had said that he didnt expect much of a result but after talks he said that progress. What he called a comprehensive trade deal had been made. Of take a listen to what modi and trump up and say. By the name of president. Contribution and then ill be leaving you with on i believe has to this level i have been invaluable to our fans i am i to judge them how many during our discussions today are supposed to be we had a. Productive exchange on every important aspect of. It were at a point where our relationship is so special with india it has never been as good as it is right now and i think thats because the 2 leaders of each country really we fully feel very strongly about each other and we have we have done something thats very unique and weve made some wonderful deals for each of our countries once again we want to thank you and the entire nation of india for honoring the United States with its outstanding welcome and im pleased to say that the u. S. Indian partnership is now truly stronger than ever before p. W. Correspondence and if on the cars on the line now for us in delhi sonia we just heard President Trump saying that the relationship is better than ever before our bilateral relations as weve just heard now want to improve footing. Well sara what weve seen over these 2 days is a lot of personal chemistry and a lot of energy is a phrase from all the interim for each other the indian media is calling this a bromance but it really remains to be seen whether that will be the conflict into some kind of big bang deal and what importantly what the concrete results especially create the feud i mean president tom has to be optimistic about getting a great deal though though he really has not put any details which remember the 2 sides have really wrangling for months to narrow differences on a whole host of great issues that have been complicated by tatters so the facts even frankly make a remote possibility but you know one area where they have made a lot of progress is to say and you know that the 2 today announced creep 1000000000 dollar defense to the supply of compost but the indian army as the mv and defense of the one area where they have been that ties in the operations possibly driven by Strategic Interests on create i pick with an expected expected cookie talks we may see some limited agreements but you know its going to be seen whether that would be to a more extent to create agreement at the end stage and more broadly sonia how has the president s visit been received there. Whatsoever to be honest his visit today in delhi has been eclipsed by news of deadly violence in north easterly and rioting which is killed 7 people including a policeman aged about a 100 people and this week were hearing at the clash and supporters and opponents of a controversial sort of the tip law that these government passed last year which critics say discriminates against muslims and undermine the good secular tradition weve seen some really disturbing images about from the looting or because of being set alight so this is coming the timing of this incident does come of you know has come as somewhat of an embarrassment to Prime Minister that it will be as the host donald trump and the violence and some kid some sense of take the spotlight away from the. Family car in delhi thank you sonia.

Yeah this is not a fresh case of a corona infection in thailand or more in sicily in the very south of italy and that is new and also a very sad because this infection was caused by a tourist from a long body who went to sicily so this spread is going on and now some. Regions in the south the north not to send anymore italians from the north to the thaws so they want to divide between the north and the south but the Italian Government is so far not able and willing to do that but tensions are running high between the south and the north now and talk with us a little bit more about the Economic Impact that this has been having for the entire.
