Hello, I am Julie Candler with the BBC news.
Police in Germany have launched a huge men hunt for a group of men who carried out a mass shooting at a shopping center 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 transports services suspended. People have been warned to stay indoors. Damien Mcguines is in Berlin.
It's a very confusing situation because police are saying they are looking for up to three perpetrators but they are not sure if actually it could be just one or three or if the one shooter is dead. So, there's lot of confusion and lot of chaos right now in Munich because of course police and emergency and security services have to take into account if possibly, we have a couple of perpetrators who are still on the run.
Richard Guchar is a reporter with the regional broadcast of Biya TV, 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 hatch of 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 is a very bad movie.
The German Chancellor will convene a meeting of the country's security council, her chief of staff, Peter Altmaiersaid it was unclear who was behind the attack. Innitial suspicion fell on Islamists but there are also suggestions that it could have been a active far right extremism. Footage shot in a mobile phone appears to show a gunman dressed in black shouting curses against foreigners.
The White House has condemned the Munich attack in a strongest possible term. President Obama promised to provide whatever support Germany might need. The French president Francois Holland also voiced his support for Germany. The British foreign secretary Boris Johnson said he was shocked and appalled by the terrible attack and Britain was ready to assist.
The deputy prime minister of Turkey Norety Genicli has described last week's attempted coup was one of the greatest attack the country has faced, he said the dismiss and detention of some 60,000 people in the aftermath was just a beginning.
For 40 years this terror organization has infiltrated the furthest corners of the country, all ministries, all institutions and private sectors, it's not just the judiciary court, the police, the military, it sink through education and in fact, education is the field that they have entered best. This is only the tip of ice burg, the number of detentions could get higher.
In a BBC interview, MR.Genicly say the coup plotter posed a bigger threat than the Islamic State group or the Kurdish Militant Organization the PKK.

Already, there are more than 650,000 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan, that's about ten percent of the population.
