Police in Germany have launched a huge manhunt for a group of men who carried out a mass shooting at a shopping centre in Munich. At least nine people have been killed. Police say one of them may have been an attacker. Much of Munich has been shut down, with all transport services suspended. People have been warned to stay indoors. David Mcness is in Berlin.
There is a very confusing situation, because police are saying they are looking for three perpetrators, but they are not sure if actually it could just be one or three, or if the one shooter is dead. So there is a lot of confusion, there is a lot of chaos right now in Munich, because of course, police and the security services have to take into account possibly we have a couple of perpetrators who are still on the run.
Richard Guja is a reporter with the regional broadcaster, BRTV. He was just outside the shopping mall. And he described a very tense scene just after the attack.
The police are very, very nervous. They are walking in a hitch-on formation of ten to twelve officers, aiming their guns in all directions. The people living here are very nervous. This is right in the middle of a residential area. They can't believe their eyes what's happening here that there are officers with drawn semi-automatic guns patrolling the area, as it were a bad movie.
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, will convene a meeting of the country's security council on Saturday. Her Chief-of-Staff, Peter Altmaier, said it was unclear who was behind the attack. Initial suspicion fell on Islamists. But there are also suggestions that it could have been an act of far-right extremism. Footage shot in a mobile phone appears to show a gunman, dressed in black, shouting curses against foreigners.马上学

The Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey,Norater Jenicolie, has described last week's attempted coup as one of the greatest threats the country has ever faced. He said the dismissal and detention of some 60,000 people in the aftermath was just the beginning.
For 40 years, the terrorist organisation has infiltrated the furtherest corners of the country, all ministries, all institutions and the private sector. It's not just the judiciary courts, the police, the military. It includes education. And in fact, education is the field that they have entered best. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The number of detentions could get higher.
In a BBC interview, Mr. Jenicolie said the coup plotters posed a bigger threat than the Islamic State group or the Kurdish military organisation, the PKK.马上学

The International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders have both made appeals for access to the border. International law demands that those fleeing war should be given asylum. But humanitarian organisations find themselves unable to press for Jordan to reopen its borders to refugees, with many western nations keeping theirs firmly closed. Already, there are more than 650,000 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan. That's about 10% of the population.
