our correspondent simon young is in hollis simon how are the victims being remembered today. hero because this is a concert as she said with pop stars and performers from all over germany who've come here just to show as they're putting it solidarity or solidarity and send a message of tolerance and to show i think how outraged they are. anti semitic and racist attacker is he describes himself was able to carry out this attack here which left 2 people dead and just a short while ago we heard a choir singing as female choir one of the victims was a keen choir sing us so her choir came and performed here on this stage just one of the poignant moments today is people here and how remember the attacks of 10 days ago moving stuff there it's been a little over a week since the attack how has it impacted the community and hala. well i think people here are shocked and a lot of people are saying that they just don't really understand how people can you know how anyone could do something like this and you know there is still a sense of grief in a sense of wanting to come together i wa

well simon young he joins me here in the studio in cape brady in leipzig simon one month after these protests on november 9th 1909 the famous wall fell did do you think the east german regime underestimated the discontent among the populace well they knew that discontent was growing and that there was a sense that you know the economy was broken and that people in east germany were increasingly annoyed that they you know they couldn't they were going to miss out on so many things that were taken for granted in the west and as we heard there that frustration at the lack of freedoms and rights in the summer of 99900 seeing these growing wave of people leaving the country to go through the newly open border in hungary there was this atmosphere that things were breaking down i think the regime were increasingly nervous and. they saw these demonstrations they prepared their own troops possibly to intervene but the story of what happened in life so you know i've been 189 was really that when it came to the crunch nobody on the ground was actually willing to give the order to. take that dir

young with you simon. takeaways for you from that well president macro really making quite a big show there huge sort of layout of different topics he talked about he's calling it the to lose declaration with all sorts of agreements you say on on climate policy on industrial policy. in agriculture space projects they've got defense cooperation i think the key thing that i would focus in on. this announcement that they've agreed both leaders said in slightly different words i ain arms export ban. to turkey and that would appear to be you know something that they're going to force through and they're going to pressure it president micros save act european level as well and how much we're. but how much does that differ from from the agreement that already exists in europe the should be no arms sales to turkey yeah well i mean that i don't know because the we have got the details of this yet but it may well be that it extends to different types of equipment that it extends for different types of potential use

our political correspondent simon young is following the story for us simon what's the latest. well there is a statement from police in the state of hassoun the where the city of limbo is located saying that the police are saying that they are in the hot phase of their investigations so i think we can assume that investigations are still going on as we reported earlier the police have said so for them it's far too early to speculate about the motives behind face attack here if that is what the these are rather than an accident. a but that's something that's also incidentally been confirmed by the german interior minister holds the hope he's been aust to describe this incident and he said it's too early to give an answer to that so many unanswered questions at the moment but what has emerged a some more details about the chief suspect ok well tell us about that then tell us what we know regarding that the chief suspect in this in this incident. yeah reports from the d.p.i. . agency germany's main internal news agency which says that the man got control of this truck and then app

our political analyst simon young is with us in the studio simon there were many demonstrations in many cities in east germany 30 years ago why is the demonstration in leipsic considered have been so important i think mainly because of the numbers involved there have been demonstrations in other places of course before this and they have been some organized opposition in east germany for many years. on the night of 989 you had 70000 people who dared to come out on the streets shouting we are the people facing up to the security forces also a couple of courageous journalists managed to film those wobbly pictures of it that we saw in that report and they were shown on west german t.v. the next day so this was something that the east german regime couldn't ignore or sort of keep quiet how much courage did it take to demonstrate publicly against the east german regime back then i think it took plenty of courage people talk about the real sense of fear that they had that something might happen you know lots of extra police soldiers have been brought in all men in uniform had been seen you kn

young is following the story forests simon what's latest. terry the latest update that i have is that of the 9 people that are reported to have been lightly injured in this incident 7 of being treated in hospital and we believe among those the driver of the truck the other detail is that the security expert from the that suggestion is public broadcaster. quoting sources saying that this man had apparently tried several times on monday to get control of a of a truck or similar vehicle so it looks as if if that's right that this wasn't absolutely spontaneous but what we still can't say is really what might be the motive was was it sort of a you know a deliberate terror attack something planned or was it just a crazy incidental was it possibly even after gaining control of the truck stealing it from the driver did he he just lose control and crashed into these other cause those are the things we don't know the police are saying that they're in the hot phase of their investigation and you know they're going to continue to update us through the d

political correspondent simon young is following this developing story for us saima what more can you tell us at this point. well the latest terry that we've heard from d.p.a. needs agency germany's main news agency they are saying that the police have had contact with this man before as you mentioned in relation to drug crimes and also what's described as violent criminality but they go on to say that. or at least a source is say that he did not have always not known to have had contact with extremists islam aist salafist and so on so although police are still officially saying that they're not speculating about exactly what has happened here whether it's an attack and what the possible motives for such an attack might be they are at least allowing through the media. a certain distance to emerge from the idea that they seize some sort of islam is attacked maybe this man who's been living in germany as you say it is reported since 2015 and has a residency status here that allows him to live here although he's come from syria . he may be you know there are other reasons why he has done

our political correspondent simon young is following this story for us simon what's the latest on the investigation and the attack where police are continuing their investigation on the ground they've searched several properties including the apartment where this man was supposed to have been living with his mother they've also recovered a vehicle one of the vehicles used in the attack and we believe that they're continuing to follow up the possibility there could be other people involved were people this suspect had contact with so those are the sort of key lines of investigation at the moment as well as trying to obviously understand his motives well the gunman tried to attack a packed synagogue talking about motives he is apparently bent on killing jews what does this tell us about the problem of anti-semitism in germany today well i think it all depends on exactly what his motivation turns out to be but it's pretty clear from the manifesto the posted on the internet that he was quite ready to kill jews and target and he talked about targeting known white specifically jews. as well

young is following the story for us so simon what's the latest. well as you say sarah what we know is that a syrian man has been living in germany for about 4 years and has a limited residency status here that's to say he's not officially recognized as an asylum seeker or refugee but he is allowed to stay in germany he is the man he was driving this truck he got hold of it. when he as you've reported there pulled the the actual driver out when it was stopped at a red light and he's driven it off subsequently crashed into a line of parked vehicles 9 people have been lightly injured we're told 7 of them are being treated in hospital including the the driver himself and there were reports that the man said the word a lost several times at the scene 2 passes by he came to came to help him in fact but as far as any motive or indeed any characterization of this incident whether it was a deliberate attack or an accident or something else entirely the police and the authorities are not yet not yet saying anything on that and indeed their investigation int
