On Wednesday last week I was sitting at home having just returned from 3 days covering Extinction Rebellion in Berlin when my friend and colleague the Daily Telegraphs Correspondent in Berlin Justin Huggler called me to alert me about the shooting at a Synagogue and Turkish Restaurant in Halle (Saale).
