And we turn to france now where police have arrested a 2nd suspect in connection with the knife attack at the basilica in east that left 3 people dead it was the 3rd islamist attack in france in just 2 months president obama is holding an emergency Cabinet Meeting today at the National Terror alert level has been raised to its maximum. A place of worship and the scene of terror candles laid outside the not true dom church a nice tribute for the victims killed within its walls. What happened inside is now being pieced together by forensics teams frances top onto terrorism prosecutor said this had all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack and they have detained a suspect. Who. When he was arrested he was carrying a document in the form of a paper from the italian red cross in the name of a 2 newseum National Born in 1909. Initial investigations have shown that this is the perpetrator moreover the person concerned is not known in the National Fingerprint database and is not known to the intelligence services. When the police told the church on thursday it was too late to stop the bloodshed a Church Official and a woman had been stabbed and killed a 3rd person died of her injuries. Police found a copy of the koran and 3 large knives in the suspects bags the man is now in hospital in Critical Condition president was at the scene within hours calling for National Unity is that if the new tact again its because of our values our belief in freedom to believe freely and not give in to terror qua. Let me say this very clear. We will never give. Me money said. The french president has angered many in the muslim world by refusing to condemn cartoons of the prophet muhammad. Its a long standing debate in france reignited by the murder of School Teacher samuel petit earlier this month. He was beheaded after showing cartoons of muhammad in a class on free speech. And with this latest attack france has 3 more people to mourn. For the very latest on that story were now joined by our correspondent. In news lisa theres been a new arrest in this trace what can you tell us about that. Police just confirmed me that they indeed arrested a 47 year old man apparently that man was living in the region around nice and he is originally from a maghreb country now he was on the phone with the attack several times the day before the attacks in 2 days ago and the police are now looking into the question if he was just in touch or if he was an accomplice of the murder of the assailant who killed 3 people at the cathedral just behind me. There france is at its highest level what does that actually mean. Well it means that in additional 4000. 00 soldiers and Police Forces are deployed they cross the country at them are being deployed to trust the country at the moment to protect vulnerable locations here in france the police told me that they considered that under the lockdown because france has now entered a locked on for probably. At least for we under lockdown volatile places are not only places of worship and there is a location where terror attacks happened in the past but also public transport because under the lockdown thats where people are crowded really so the police is really are really on high alert and theyre trying to protect as many places as they can at the moment but today france is going into lockdown how will that affect both the public common ration of these latest also the investigation. Well obviously you know public commemorations will be difficult to carry out if you look back a few weeks you know when some of the party was beheaded by a radical islamist the teacher who had shown a cartoon of the prophet of mohammed in his classroom after that president and im on call he indeed hell held a public ceremony to commemorate this man but this will hardly be possible now here in france under lockdown there might be some online event or something or a car might hold a public speech on television but you cant obviously gather people here in france at the moment and the police are saying that they are expecting to stay people at home and but as i said they will still be on high alert and they will still be a terror attack alert a terror alert here in france theyre going to try to correct these places that have all the money and france our correspondent needs to lose in nice thank you lisa. The attack has of course been widely condemned by european leaders steve w. New sas german president. For his assessment of the attack now duties and. By then of course our thoughts are above all the relatives who have our compassion. But i believe what we in europe and not just in france must do know is to stand up to this act of brutality and the islamist motives behind it. From violence and in our democratic societies above all we should not base the response of the state on a course determined by hate and in a phobia like in hundreds of acceptance and Mutual Respect are a part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islamist motives is one thing but the other is to try and maintain the oakland or Survivor Society thats the other challenge. German president speaking that time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world thousands of muslims in bangladesh have protested against france after father prayers they called for a boycott of the french products of the president raul to crack down on islamist extremism in the wake of the knife a time in nice that will also similar protests in pakistan.

It is not entirely clear what the reasons for the fact that belgium is now the hardest hit country in in all of europe doctors and Scientists Say that its a mix of reason the population was more relaxed about the rules of not following distancing rules after the summer break the Crisis Management on a federal level here in belgium is not sufficient obviously and also the regions vilonia and the Flemish Region are not working together entirely the number of intensive care units was not heightened or not increased as much as necessary so its a bundle of reasons but it is clear that belgian is not prepared for the 2nd wave and now people are hoping that at least the luck which entered into effect already will solve the problem in the coming weeks about as we just heard and there are people germany is taking patients from belgium because germany still has a passing how well does this corporation inside the European Union actually work.
