that several people were killed and several others were injured. police have yet to give the extent of the attack or a possible motive. the shooter is thought to be among the dead. this is not a common sight in germany. police officials rushing through the streets, carrying wounded people to safety. these scenes after a shooter opened fire at a meeting of jehovah. witnesses in northern hamburg. been unwilling to you, i am a local residence router. cigar. i heard loud gunshots, often munitions went to the window to see what was going on as it was showing some awful. i saw a man with a firearm, my shooting as a window of intense. so she, i filmed us one up to several from you, phil. this is what the witness saw. oh,

it terrified him. police said several people had been killed or wounded without giving a definite number. the prototype, i'm the daughter of the officers entered and found people who had been injured have i some fatally, by gunshots. don't tell you what are totally felice wardens and the officers and also heard a shot from the upper part of the building. it is in the home and found a person there over the phone. and i mean, we have no evidence of an assailant at large and evidence points to the assailant being in the building and possibly among the dead from it. so far it's unclear what the attack, his motive was, but they've left behind chaos and fear in a city that was about to fall asleep and t w's. benjamin alvarez gruber is in hamburg. he gave us this update from the scene earlier today. one of the neighbors, a woman who's living nearby,

tell german media that she heard several rounds of gunshots. if before 9 p m. police was nearby, they managed to come to this place of worship that you can see here behind me, shortly after 9 p. m. when the 1st offices entered the building, they still heard and shot that's the information that we have. and we'll pretty quickly also with the work, with the different ambulances. and then they gave the information that they believe that the attacker is not on the run, as of course, is something that people hear will also hoping for. they believe that it was one person. and that it did to have this shooting that went in there and started a shooting. the area is corned off. so the whole area here at the streets for the neighbors that are here around. and of course, it's shocking news for everyone who is involved to see exactly what happened. tell this and folded. they're really helpful for the quick work that police did. one of them, it was the mayor of hamburger also expressed his condolences for the families of

the victims had died in the, in the thursday evening attack. and let's get more we are joined now by d. w. security correspondent, thomas sparrow. thomas, what more do we know about the attacker including motive? while the motivation is still unclear and authorities is still investigating, this is not something unusual. in fact, when you have these kinds of incentive authorities, nobody take some time before discussing any possible motivation. before describing the incident with specific terms will be per so far, for example, from chancellor upshaw's describing as a brutal act of violence. a security officials cited by german media have described as a rampage or a mass shooting. and this points to the direction in which authority the now probably investigating this incident. but as it happens with other similar cases or thought is normally very careful before jump to any conclusion before causing any kind of speculation. so what we know so far,

what's confirmed so far is actually very little about the possible motivation. how common are incidents like this one? they are rare, if you compare them with other countries in the world, germany has some of the strictest gun laws in the world. that is one of the reasons why these kinds of incidents are rare compared to the parts of the world. however, they have happened in germany. also recently they have been several in the last few years and the motivation they have ranged from mental problems by the possible perpetrator to far right extremist views. and this again, points to the importance of understanding what possible motivation might be in this case where the fact on my be because then you can actually put this particular incident into one category or another. again, it is still way too early to say what the possible motivation might have been. authorities are treating this very can. when can we expect to learn more to day the cause of the day, especially around midday german time, we're expecting a press conference by local authorities where they're going to give probably more

details on the possible perpetrator on the victims. and we're expecting also some initial information on the puzzle motivation as well. did happier correspond at thomas sparrow with the security outlook here. thank you so much. ukraine says that it is working on restoring operations at energy facilities after rush of bartered cities, with a new mix of aerial weapons. moscow claims that its attacks are aimed at reducing ukraine's ability to fight the attacks on thursday targeted civilian infrastructure . far from the front lines for the 1st time in weeks killing, at least 9 people. the bombardment caused blackouts in several ukrainian cities and briefly disconnected as operates in nuclear power plant. from the great let's bring it in, i use, i mean s as in keith so, so i mean, the united nation nuclear watchdog has called for urgent action after this most

recent power outage at those up routine nuclear power plant. what exactly would that entail? nope. i apologize, everybody i'm that on you clearly are correspondent and keith cannot hear us. i mean us, if there are, we're gonna try to reconnect with him and hopefully get him a bit later in the program. but in the meantime, turning to some other news in georgia, the ruling party has dropped a controversial foreign agent bill following 2 nights of violent clashes between police and protesters. despite this thousands continue to rally in the country's capital tbilisi, they fear the government wants to put georgia on a path toward authoritarianism and drive the country back. under the kremlin influence, the draft law echoed a russian lot used to silence critics. demonstrator say that it could hinder georgia's goal of joining the european union. oh,

huge cheers for the european union. and the rejection of russian influence, ah, no, the people go the peacefully answer. the dude employment. the messages are clear. of the 2 days of violent protests, the ruling georgia dream party earlier announced its withdrawing its disputed foreign agent bill for goldfish or whatever the legislation will be brought out for its 2nd hearing bar. and during that 2nd hearing it will fail. let me once again make this political statement. the law will fail by no one voting for it and this i will resolve the issue with troubled armstrong. but protesters think that the government is just paying lip service. this is number one midway camera today is definitely the 1st victory that this protest is brought. but this fight is no ended yet because we do not trust the promises of the ruling party,

which they are only giving to us to stop the protests. therefore, the protests will carry on until officially with their own hands. they press the button in the georgian parliament that abolishes the bill. i mean, the controversial legislation would have required and use and independent media who receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to declare themselves foreign agents. protesters clashed with police for more than 2 consecutive days. officials say 50 officers were injured and more than a $130.00 demonstrators were detained during that time. those attending the latest rally also demanded this swift release. demonstrators said the law is reminiscent of existing legislation in russia that has been used to crack down on descent and that it could damage the country's relationship with the european union. opponents of the georgia government scored a victory to day,

but they said the fight is not yet over. and it w correspondent, maria cut a mazda is into fleecy welcome to the program, and thank you so much for joining us. the government has promised to withdraw this a very controversial bill, but people are still on the streets. why? yes, we are now in the, in a yard of the georgia and parliament they pull a mentor, answer a will be holding the 2nd hearing on the controversial foreign agent bill. that spark brought us here and believe, see, ah, as you can see, the background, the police is already mobilized at the parliament gates or their position is warning daughter. the authorities might be, ah, buying the time. ah, that's why they asked the professors to come. and you know, to put more pressure on the government, georgia applied for a new membership last march, but was not granted candidate sat us just, how does this law proposal affect georgia's path to joining the block now?

well, suddenly the image of georgia government has been shattered, sir, not only domestically but internationally, but we can. so we, we've seen the, you know, the reaction from georgia and ordinary georgia's, are fighting against this law on the street literally. and i hear it's important to look at the international responses while since georgia wants to become a european, ah, european, or are you country one day? so the are, for instance, the french president eminent. my court said that georgia is turning towards europe and it can count on france also the spokesperson for a u. s. department that prize stated that georgia isa george and people proved that they belong her to europe, and the future is european. however, ah,

the u. s. is still, you know, are watching very closely and expecting the government to extract the bill from the parliament, but also are the further that tri sad that georgia should focus on our own reforms . just to give you a little bit of context, sir. ah, you are a commission has issued issued a 12 points recommendation last june when georgia failed to gain candidacy status. and in order to become a new member and to gain candidacy 1st odd ga, ga, and has to fulfill this 12 points recommendation 1st. how big are the fears among georgia that their country's leading east? yes, if fears are very, i big and georgians are very concerned with the accents of their government. or they're saying that the bill of was a deliberate, deliberate act of sabotage. ah, you know, to alienate her on george's from europe on here. it also we can talk

about a little bit about the party, the ruling party, georgia dream. it was thought founded by a billionaire who made his fortune in russia in ninety's between him and his family . and in georgia, it's widely believed had that he is the shadow leader of georgia. and of some of the protest service yesterday were asking were saying that we have to remove the government in order to, ah, you know, to, to be in the, in the e u. so our little, we'll see what will be the decision, the final decision today, it's about the plan a recession is about to start in about an hour, and they will see what the official decision will be. very soon, maria, cut a mazda, thank you so much. and we'd like to return now to the situation in ukraine. i'm joined by dw is ami. and as if, who is joining us from keith, i'm in the you and nuclear watchdog has called for urgent action after the most

recent power outage at this upper. it's your nuclear power plant. what would that entail? so the head of the u. n's, nuclear watchdog, raphael grosse issued a statement after the power went off at this nuclear power plant, least electrical power and started running on generators. he said that every time this happens, it's a roll of the dice. and if it continues at some point, our luck will run out and he called for urgent action. he did not make clear though in that statement what he meant by urgent action. but this would probably entail some kind of negotiated deal for both sides. and don't forget that the 1st time the nuclear power plant and separation went off the grid, it was due to ukrainian shelling. that's because russia currently occupies this nuclear power plant. of course, russia holds responsibility for putting the carpet and danger because of its invasion of ukraine, but at this point, both sides are interested in securing their own military strategy in that area.

and the u. n. has been urging for some kind of negotiated deal to prioritize the safety of the power plant. moscow gave a statement about the strikes across ukraine yesterday. phyllis and moscow said that the russian department of defense said that these strikes, this wave of strikes that hit practically every part of the country was retaliatory against attacks across the border. it wasn't clear which tax they were talking about, but they said it happened last week. and they said that they achieved their goals. they had all their targets, including arms, factories and drone basses. um, but ukraine has said that the purpose of the attacks was a form of terrorism to shock the entire country, much most of which is far away from the eastern frontline. they've also suggested that it was a way for russia to showcase it says new fairly new hypersonic missiles called the kin joel, which is russian for dagger,

which can evade ukrainian air defense. and what's clear is that several, um it's a civilians died in these attacks including 6 in the western o blast of levine. now this is the most deadly attack on civilians since the beginning the war in the far west of the country. so it really brought the war home once again for people all across the country here and reminded them that no part of this country is safe as long as this war is continuing. i mean, as a, thank you. thank you. harris and other stories making headlines. former malaysians prime minister, yes, seen, has been charged with corruption and money laundering in a court in kuala lumpur. he pleaded not guilty on the charge as including the alleged abuse of power to attain bribes for his political party. he was released on bel, italy's prime minister, georgia maloney has unveiled your tougher jail terms for people's smugglers. the

and then she tore off that rule book. having abolished the term limits back in 2018 . the 3rd term makes him modern. china's longest serving had of see far truthful o earlier journalist, 5 in crutch mur in shanghai told d w why it is so unusual for a chinese leader to receive a 3rd term as precedent. so you have to understand his hoary context and the state founder of, of modern china, i would say don't he would for life. and the older he became, the excess of his personality call. it became, the more his economic policy failed. and the more he directed the country into chaos, so it was the communist party itself, who after mouse death, basically limited the term for a future leader to 2 terms named be 10 years and seating pin was the 1st woollen. now, who removed that clause from the law again until secured himself a historic 3rd term. so it is really highly unusual. you're watching d. w. it is still to come, how
