this is deja vu news live from berlin a new face in the united states is fighting against the covert 19 pandemic the u.s. food and drug administration has approved the buy on tech pfizer vaccine the decision clears the way for an unprecedented vaccination campaign expected to begin in the coming days. growing numbers of covert 19 infections and fake talents he's forced meters here in germany to make hard decisions will all star teams order a tougher lockdown less than 2 weeks before christmas. and the u.s.

supreme court rejects a texas roll suit to overturn the u.s. presidential election president donald trump had called assumes the big one that would keep him in office the question now being this just a citizen finally put an end to his hopes. i'm pablo foley yes welcome to the program the american drug regulator the f.d.a. has approved the biotech pfizer coronavirus vaccine the pharma giant says it will start shipping doses immediately and 1st inoculations could start as early as monday the vaccine was shown to be 95 percent effective in preventing covert 19 giving cause for hope in the country that's been hit hardest by the pandemic i have really good news today our nation has achieved a medical mirror. we have delivered

a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months it's a turning point for the country with the highest coronavirus death toll in the world and counting. it seems heartbreaking that we have daily records that exceed the 911 deaths every day and i think you know it's very very difficult to go to work every morning knowing that hospitals are being filled clinics are preparing to deliver the biotech pfizer shot and begin the largest vaccination campaign in u.s. history cancer care workers and elderly people in care homes are expected to receive the 1st doses but now that the vaccine is on its way will most americans take it. i think it's kind of your civic duty to get vaccinated and. i don't see any issues with doing it as long as it's safe it's a way to depopulate the world that's the agenda behind the vaccines sorry i'm not

interested it will never take it over my dead body and that is the 1st step to kind of let things up and then i want to take that step to basically go out and have normal times again normal say to some states are planning to begin vaccinating as early as monday but the shot comes with complex distribution challenges that has to be shipped and stored at all true temperatures and countries are competing for limited supplies. was the question. margolis is a skating question. intended. to. ask the question what can go in your. states how can the. u.s. health officials say they will have enough doses to vaccinate every american who wants to be. by the middle of next year europe is set to make its own decision on

the biotech pfizer shot later this month in what could be the beginning of the end of the global pandemic. but a surge in covered 19 fatalities here in germany is alarming all thirty's and stoking calls for a stricter lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic germany's death toll per capita was one of the lowest among hard hit countries now with the 2nd wave the picture looks bleaker on saturday german health authorities recorded nearly 500 covert 19 related deaths and the numbers continue to trend of ports and the country's disease control agency also registered more than 28000 new infections in a single day those figures suggest weeks of a partial lockdown haven't slowed the spread of infection tougher restrictions now seem almost inevitable something chancellor angela merkel and state leaders will discuss emergency talks on sunday. here the record infections are not

just a number german hospitals like this one in mannheim are struggling to treat the rising number of patients with covered 19 yet out on the streets you might not know that the country is in crisis the so-called lock down lie to restrict gins means shops and schools are still open the german said of baton veteran back is not waiting for the federal government to take action you fire up. from december 12th on we are imposing a general lockdown for all of baton verbeck runs. from saturday residents there may only leave their homes with a valid reason such as going to work or school the situation is dangerous all lawmakers seem to agree on that several other german states are urging action at the national level. we can see it getting away from us slipping from our hands we have to make a decision that's clear more resolute and more understandable and try to escape

this is a matter of life and death to put it clearly it's a matter of ethical responsibility that we in the government have chancellor angela merkel is also in support of stricter measures on sunday germany's federal and state leaders will meet once more to discuss the crisis meanwhile germany's schools are preparing for more restrictions or possible expansion of the vacation period get education ministers are asking for as few cuts to schooling as possible. in our opinion vacation should not be extended but rather we should introduce remote learning or even a lifting of compulsory attendance or a combination of both. just under 2 weeks to christmas eve and germans may only have a few days left for christmas shopping before stricter measures are put in place it looks like this holiday season will be even quieter than usual. well i'm joined

now by our political correspondent hance brown tie hans did german government is going to meet on sunday as we know they're going to discuss the situation which as we've seen is worrying to say the least what do we know about their plans do we have any idea of that how far these at this lockdown is going to go on how strictly well it's going to be one of best buy and all notorious meetings between chancellor i'm going to mouth of a central government and the 16 leaders of germany 16 federal states these lead meetings have been going on for more than 2 months and normally what happens is under medical the central government pushes for a very much more strict lockdown so strict measures and the states put a brake on that and say that they don't want to go so far we've seen in the report just now that various states have imposed restrictions others have not the need is to find a common 9 and that's really been the problem of a months now what we expect knowledge is that it seems very likely that the central

government that i'm going to not go will finally. be able to get to the kind of strict measures that they have been pushing for for almost 2 months it looks very likely we'll have a serious locked on sometime this coming week possibly as early as monday at the latest by the end of the coming week we're all holding our breath selves and let's not forget that here in germany in fact that since the beginning of november so over a month now we've had this so-called lockdown as light and why is it that it hasn't worked because exactly said that it hasn't worked it has stopped the rise of the effect infections that stopped that x. appeared exponential rise but for a couple of weeks now we've been on a kind of. somewhere around 20000 new infections infections every day the number of patients has not dropped and that's really what needs to happen we need to get these number of infections dom the question of why that had us has not worked we don't really know clearly people are still having too many contacts and we don't

really know exactly. because contact tracing has not been working out to anymore because of the number of infections that compu followed up probably people are still meeting too much in shops and private in the private sphere possibly also outside maybe the schools are a particular drive of the infections we don't really know but these all these days are likely to be restricted severely know whatever the issues are the numbers are what they are why has it been so difficult for ad there to be suppose consensus wise to german governments he's been so reluctant to use a stricter measures here well obviously there is this tension between the regions of it because various regions have a different infection rates the ones that are not so badly affected feel that a new team prez substrate blocked onst and so on so there's been this dispute between the regions and the central government that has put a brake on many things then obviously the financial considerations for the

government if you impose a lockdown as a government you need to compensate the people who are making losses as a result and clearly these 2 or 3 weeks before christmas for retailers are the crucial weeks in the entire year so the losses that they will suffer are going to be substantial the government is already spending dozens of billions to try and compensate people so the financial considerations are there in the background as well and clearly there's a lot of pressure from business not to impose these locked on and locked arms but at the moment i think i think what's clear in this coming week we are going to have a strict locked on to well get ready for that hans brand new political correspondent thanks for that update. well take a look at some of the other stories making news elsewhere in the world the 1st international aid convoy has arrived in ethiopia's region since fighting broke out more than a month ago the convoy includes 7 red cross trucks carrying medicines and supplies for about 1000 families who were displaced from their homes by the fighting. a

series of rockets struck that afghan capital kabul killing one and wounding 2 others the afghan interior minister said that 10 rockets were fired near the karzai international airport no group has so far claimed responsibility but this is the 2nd such attack in the city within a month. iran has executed a dissident journalist for encouraging anti-government 2017 protests in the country some criticized iran's government with a website and internet news channel while living in exile he was captured in 2019. well the u.s. supreme court has rejected a lawsuit filed by the state of texas to overturn the results of last month's presidential election president trump and scores of republican officials and lawmakers had supported the suit which challenged president elect joe biden's

victories in michigan georgia pennsylvania and wisconsin but justices ruled that texas didn't have the right to challenge how other states run their elections president trump reacted with a tweet saying quote the supreme court really let us down. so the question now is whether this is the end of the road for donald trump's campaign to stop joe biden from taking office in january so we put that question to michael moore he's an election law expert a florida state university. well that this one of the things that made the texas suit so unique and again the court held they didn't even have jurisdiction a lot of commentators have bad pointed out the numerous procedural in jurisdictional hurdles that it faced but one of the the unique aspects of the texas suit is that it essentially sought to bring the entire election before the supreme court that it identified is a 4 different states where texas claimed it had statutory and constitutional

problems and invited the court to to handle the issue in one fell swoop they're still read there are still cases pending in the lower courts as a matter of fact the wisconsin supreme court has just agreed to hear an appeal brought by the trump campaign tomorrow there are other cases where the trump campaign has lost in the lower courts were it can still ask for the supreme court itself to hear those cases so over the upcoming days and potentially even weeks i expect to see continued litigation i think it's extraordinarily unlikely that any of those lawsuits will succeed but the the short answer is no this is this case while it presented one unified package that would have allowed the court to consider all of the objections being raised right across at least in most of the states across the board the courts rejection of this case doesn't shut the door on all these other cases that remain pending in the lower courts. in the bundesliga on

friday unbeaten volves for coasted from 1st the visitors took the lead but a double from 5 in fact coursed won the game for the hosts 1st of dutchman level things up from the penalty spot for his 8th goal of the season then in the dying minutes he stripped again to seal a 21 victory. unbeaten run now stretches to 11 games and the win puts them into champions league contention. well this may be one of the strangest nativity scenes we've seen this year at church in the german town of offending and has put a giant coronavirus at the center of its religious decorations before the christmas holiday the model virus is emblazoned with the words don't be afraid of the artwork pays homage to health care workers alongside the family of jesus christ of course because of coronavirus restrictions the church is closed to visitors and the nativity can only be seen jury service. strange

indeed now you're watching news from berlin up next is dot film lone wolf terrorism siders become assassins you can also keep up to date on our website d w dot com for use in britain to take care and season. high on the old and i'm game did you know that 730 in the land of the 4 killed world wide sure but it's not just the animals little suffering it's the environment if you want to know how it went to the priest i'm a hunch was changed as we think of listening to our podcast on the green.

the internet has spawned a new brand of terrorism one seemingly without leaders who he said taped i'll be up in odds over these perpetrators are called lone wolves but that only refers to the execution of the crime lone wolves always belong to larger packs ideologically speaking english and lone wolves and those that support the most self radicalizing online by the thousands they meet and exchange ideas on internet forums for violent far right ideology for years investigators in germany and around the world have been looking in the wrong places and completely underestimated the impact of these internet forums we need a huge increase in online policing by maybe a factor of 10 or 20 and we need this policing to have a bigger and more visible presence that's one of the threats posed by these lone wolves increases so does the number of dead casualties he says a lot of dangerous people out there if they. have anything close to the same.

violence they are restricted societies or whatever they were from all over the world. for white supremacists and as betting brave it is the original lone wolf and a major inspiration on july 22nd 2011 he killed 77 people in 2 attacks in norway after self radicalizing online the us president barack obama stressed that islamic extremists were far from the only source of global terrorism the rest of that we're especially concerned over right now is the belonging wolf terrorist of the sort that we saw in norway recently here when you've got one person who is grange or driven by a hateful ideology. they can do a lot of damage and it's

a lot of a trace those long war operators he would be proven correct 9 years on these lone wolves are now responsible for more murders in the western world than any other kind of terrorism just as digital media is changing the world so too is terrorism with that many potential terrorists almost exclusively radicalized with the right wing propaganda from the internet and they likely are germany's biggest threat to as governments still fail to properly understand this brand of terrorism. these lone wolves launching fit the same social profile white male and typically a recluse with no friends their ideology racism anti-semitism and hatred for women and their fueled by a dangerous mix of frustration and political radicalization these men typically spend hours on end chatting with like minds on international online forums called image boards users here often present their hatred

a satirical mockery and bid to out trump each other image boards enable users to post pictures and text anonymously and originally were created in japan to share manga images. probably the best known of these websites is for chan over the years the content posted here has become increasingly radical with bullying sexism and political extremism now the norm most of the servers are located in the us where precious little content is deleted. kristoff he beca one of germany's few prosecutors specializing in cyber crime uses image boards in his investigations. shamelessly strive to hold on does present these are evidently people who essentially live in a bubble where they become emotionally desensitized and where certain demographic groups are protected as inhuman and where there is growing incitement against people of a certain background or. so the inhibition threshold is lowered and that could

increase the danger of not just hate speech being disseminated. but also crimes being committed. as seen in the german city of hama on october 9th 2019 stefan barely a tried to force his way into this synagogue intent on carrying out a massacre on the jewish holiday of yom kippur only the locked synagogue door prevented even worse horrors frustrated he instead murdered 40 year old outside the synagogue and 20 year old kevin in a shop as barely a fled he wounded a further 2 people with his self-made he also streamed his attack live online from his online community who could react in real time and share it with others and he himself is believed to have uploaded the material to just 2 forums but after seeing its potential a german user immediately linked it to the biggest image board online for chan

where it soon accumulated thousands of page views it then entered the public domain and found itself on smartphones around the world even victims as well as their family saw the video on the day of the attack we tracked down the original person that shared the video in germany a man who has since been charged with incitement to racial hatred he explains the attraction of an editing on image boards we now contact people online who we are familiar with people we don't know. although it is exciting to talk to people you don't know and who would never be able to identify you. videos of attacks also serve as a badge of honor for their online community similar to a high school or in a video game perpetrators are eager to gain recognition via a high score of victims and those scores are listed in insidious halls of fame particularly sickening are the bonus points for murdering children. stefan barely a was looking to add to his murderous high school with his attack of one of his

final victims. just like in video games where cars can be used as weapons he deliberately accelerated in order to target 2 somali men who were just coming out of a street car. one of them was after tax break him. he came from the wrong side and really stepped on it i tried to run away but the car hit me here and went to the ground and lost consciousness and he just drove off with the perpetrator was even heard in a post soon afterwards complaining desperately that his guns had malfunctioned the impact of violent video games is something flowing and heart lead has been studying in detail. his research produced what is now a standard work on this new form of terrorism the game if you cation this was there's a rising game a vacation on the terrorism seem

a lot for the platforms are changing. and the latest development is live stream where perpetrators are directly addressing their fantasies. and that's something you could see very clearly in the hollow there's a liberal one. this is the court room in the regional capital mag to book that screen hosting the trial of stephan bailey the terrorist attack on a synagogue in germany made headlines around the world this show. raised fears of a resurgence in far right extremism. this was the scene as barely a was led into court on the 1st day of his trial amidst great public interest it's hoped the hearings will also shed light on the background to the attack. is met taken the owner of the combat shop in helena almost became a victim himself he makes a personal speech outside the court. there was a life before the attack. and there is now

a different life. we are survivors of the attack on october 9th 2019. taken as a company to court by his attorney. has experience of trials involving far right terrorism among his previous clients the victims of the n.s.u. terrorist cell and a racially motivated shooting in munich and 2016 months of officers on the floor i'm interested to see how the accused behaves whether his months in jail have given him a chance to soften his rhetoric or whether he's a hardened far right ideologist who will attempt to use this trial as his own state . but ballet was indeed eager to use that stage with no sign of remorse in court he would claim that he had been fighting for the survival of the white race streaming his life 50 overs in his eyes more important than the attack itself he's a man to motivate others like him and spread his message of hate that very video

would now be shown in court to the satisfaction of. a crackpot with a crude philosophy yes. it was no surprise that he's anti sematic and islamophobia and a racist and that's just. there and what also became clear is that he cannot discuss his beliefs or go to school. that crude philosophy was easy to expose but prosecutors had few insights into bally's radicalization online. they could check to who had he been chatting with and on which forums what kind of ideas and plans were being discussed what did he tell others and what does he know about those individual bodies opposed these are the crucial questions not least because there are currently 4 very similar attacks being tried before courts in different countries the so-called lone wolves have very strong political

motivations the. the attacks in 2019 bore almost identical hallmarks the perpetrators self radicalized on the same image boards right manifestos that borrowed from each other and wanted to stream their actions life online the terrorists from 21000 more frequent visitors to the 4 chan image boards and the even more extremist a chat and its successors they also use these chat rooms to announce their murderous plans and publish their manifestos on these forums the most violent actors are honored and remembered as saints. the 1st of these attacks and 29000 which carried out in christ church new zealand brenton tarrant stormed into 2 mosques murdering 51 people he was the 1st attack ad to post a live video like in a 1st person shooter game and he inspired a way for further deadly attacks 1st in california and texas followed by

in august and then finally in halla. churches all too familiar with the image boards and far right gaming groups he monitors new extremist content being posted online every day and gives presentations explaining the danger emanating from these perpetrators in beijing as we live in the sun and the world they live in is not really are it's about some apocalyptic end of the world scenario they claim there is a white genocide taking place it's basically a death cult where the end of the world is now and in germany to. basically the end to germany that's coming any day now from an imminent attack on us by hordes of muslims or some other evil forces or end of days fantasy that people become obsessed with. the hate of muslims by these would be terrorists almost brought kebab shop owner is metate kin to his and. on the day of the attack he was on his

way to work when the perpetrator fired at him it was only because of luck that he survived he since turned one wall of his restaurant into a memorial. and his combat shop assistant struggled to continue on with it live at night you get nightmares. you think of this awful attack. how it happened and why. and why nobody could stop it. why did nobody do anything was. whether your sorties too slow to identify the attacker we're heading to isolate been one of the poorest towns in the country where stefan bellyache grew up here we meet some of the few acquaintances he had there what kind of person was he and did they suspect anything beforehand mike lang there remembers him occasionally joining him and his friends at their

regular hangout by supermarkets he remembered much like many others how he made racist comments freaking foreigners stuff people don't take seriously although you know it was just regular kids shooting their mouths off i say more a case of following the crowd than actually joining protest marches or whatever other crap he just wanted to along someone or. this is mike lang they're celebrating his birthday playing drinking games together with bally these private video recording seem to suggest ballet was a typical teenager for the area the young men would spend a lot of time driving around and generally had a right wing views and other acquaintances of his were also willing to talk to us they described the now 27 year old as an unassuming low now more the shy boy from next door shortly after finishing high school he left his home town to do his basic military service before moving on to study chemistry. he then dropped out of his

studies due to health issues and moved back in with his parents there he began assembling an arsenal of weapons drifting deeper and deeper into the ideological alternative world of these lone wolves the development mike lang now also noticed that i thought it evolved over time he was becoming increasingly withdrawn and eventually broke off all contact. the last time we were hanging out together paranoid and kept talking nonsense about his own being tapped from pinafore and over up year old world when i was a myth. i was now online practically 247 when he turned into a terrorist he had online discussions with individuals who remain unknown self radicalizing on you choose and american conspiracy theory websites as with most lone wolves he'd spent months preparing for his attack during subsequent

interrogations by the police he was happy to provide all manner of information when that questioning turned to image boards and his online contacts however he stopped talking determined to protect his community investigate his remain in the dark as to who exactly he discussed his plans with and barely questioned him on the issue during interrogation. towards the end of 2018 the environment on the image boards was becoming increasingly violent then an attack in a synagogue in pittsburgh with the killer posting a farewell message on a channel. screener optics i'm going here. the thought of the awesome wonderfully often image book as this was the 1st time we saw an image born of the clear majority of people posting their advocating over violence they were no longer saying it's not looking good for us on. there was a breaking point where people actually believed that there were no political

solutions and the only response was to take action and murder people and more. the degree to which the attackers of $2900.00 felt affinity with each other was evident during. interrogation when asked why he had fired another shot at yana lang although she was already down he said he didn't want to end up like philip man's house the norwegian man who murdered his adopted chinese born sister he announced beforehand on an image board of his plans to see. my mosque but on his subsequent attempt he was overpowered by a muslim worshipper in court he claimed he'd been fighting for the survival of the white race he was sentenced to 21 years in jail. man's house used the trial as a platform that ok sign here serving as a gesture in support of the white power movement a gesture also supported by the christ church attacker in court and also found by the police in hull or on the computer of chef and. almost all of the terrorists in

2019 also used steam and online platform for buying and playing computer games which claims to have over a 1000000000 users they use the platform to play games and chat with other people around the world they also form groups and far right symbols are sometimes used in violent games 18 year old son billy was an active member of the extremist anti refugee club on steam. engine i 2016 he shot dead 9 people of non german origin in munich before killing himself there was substantial evidence pointing to a far right motivation somebody used the same terminology later used by the 2019 terrorists to publish their manifesto it's title i'm going to now kill every german turk. despite the far right motive the very an authority refused to see right wing terrorism as an issue it took until the end of 2019 for them to classify

the attack as that of a far right extremist. attorney clowe d.n.a. or has been fighting for a comprehensive investigation into the attack she represents a number of the victims' families vina friends might find it hard to accept how it came to that initial assessment it was simply not acceptable i find it hard to believe or even call it a real assessment at all this was a case of politicians deliberately playing down the issue. and not wanting to fix the problem but 3 years later that became inevitable also due to what happened in halla. for the parents of channeling one of the victims of the 2016 munich massacre that knowledge in the far right ideology behind the attack is vital for them justice is also completely explaining the motivating factors in order to prevent further attacks at a far right terror in germany is a very present danger we've seen since our attack how many others have happened. to

go before and be wise or move on with however much evidence our attorneys provided it was always rejected you could see it as 9 people dead or you could also see it as 9 foreigners down before but in this case it was 9 non germans death by most emotional one hot one that left a mark on us for your last. in july 27 teen the rightwing extremist who had supplied somberly with his gun and went on trial attorney cloudy n.a.r. cited a range of quotes from stene groups such as the anti refugee camp there were clear indications that this group could produce further lone wolf attackers. as for vietnam after we found it in comprehensible curing and subsequent to the trial that when we bring up the existence of online target lists a german court with jack's motions of evidence is opulent and as expected the next

attack was not long coming 21 year old william at just an opened fire in his former high school in aztec new mexico killing 2 students both hispanic actress and had chatted frequently online with the munich attacker. as we get back time we had already realized that the setting was right for another attack and it was just a question of time before something else happened it's going to us sadly it was no surprise when it did. we saw the limits of germany and it's not a good feeling because albuquerque new mexico the stage for a criminal trial that could eventually see german officials also being brought to account. jamie latin is the mother of one of william actresses victims casey jordan marcus she wants a full investigation into the virtual network behind the anti refugee club linked to the murder of her daughter and also into the failures of little sororities involved i think it's worth it for her voice to be heard.

how things were overlooked how things were. out there things could have been done to prevent this and it was then. i think it's important for my daughter's name sake to do something to say something to take action which is. and the family is still suffering even now the supporting network behind the attackers will not allow her beloved daughter to rest in peace members have even posted casey's autopsy reports online jamie latin has tried in vain to have it taken down i was very shocked i mean i've heard of the dark web before heard of these kind of forms before but i never understood it or realized how big it really is. it's disgusting that there's individuals that

troll for these kinds of things they look for these kinds of things they idolize these kinds of things my daughter's crime scene crime scene photos are all over the internet i've had many many sleepless nights because of that. so the next step is to handover the litany of official failures surrounding the attacks in munich an aztec to louis rubble as one of new mexico's highest profile attorneys despite available evidence us nor enforcement likewise failed to determine the virtual background of the man behind the us tech shooting. had the f.b.i. simply done their job and looked through the online you know gallery of statements that were being made had the f.b.i. actually looked at the aztecs uter school file they would have realized that he was serious about combating the crimes of ultimately he committed they knew how

to identify him and they just simply didn't do it in this case. and in germany to the authorities had clear evidence pointing to the far right network but despite witness testimonies describing william actress and as a potential attacker that information was not forwarded to agencies in the u.s. . it is our mission to hold those accountable who allowed this tragic event to occur and if the german authorities are in fact at fault for this they should be held accountable and we would consider pursuing litigation if the evidence supports it it would be a horrible thing to find out and again an actionable thing in my eyes if the german authorities chose not to inform the united states you know all it would have taken is a phone call. rep is now waiting for the f.b.i.'s files on the case and we'll be working

with german attorneys to finally get the full picture on the links between the 2 attacks this international online network of killers has so far escaped full investigation we set out to track down a former member of the anti refugee club in germany he. arrested prior to the execution of a planned attack and is subsequently undergoing therapy he provided the authorities back then with information about the new mexico shooter william actually said i came across acheson because he was apparently the best player anywhere of hatred on steam his name was natural selector i found that impressive. and he then introduced me to the munich attacker. we asked him what he thought about the german authorities refusing to admit a connection between action and somebody that's just stupid. we also

asked how he ended up in the terrorist community. i wanted recognition in a social group i came to it through instagram where i look for past attacks most of the people are young around 16 but some believe was 18. i didn't have any friends in high school i was mostly just at my computer and didn't understand the typical daily life of others so i felt understood by these people when i posted stuff glorifying attacks i get 200 likes for one of those photos. in the case of the munich attack the german authorities failed to investigate the anti refugee club with serious consequences and even in the wake of hull a steam does not appear to be a significant focus for investigators gemini's domestic security agency was asked to assist with investigations but told the police they only had limited access to the publicly available steam id software. we use that software to find further

steam friends of the hull a shooter but they do not feature in the court files what's more despite the perpetrators excessive gaming behavior police interrogators did not ask him about his contacts on stage in a large proportion of lone wolves or regular players of hyper violent on. mind games. as part of an international venture involving journalists from 4 countries we managed to identify the steam profile of the christ church terrorist printing tyrant the profile is still active and is given a superior status by supporters with bonuses and the upgrades they buy yet another online hall of fame games glorifying attacks of publicly accessible on steam and enable users to express their murderous fantasies this game simulates an attack on a gay pride parade the guns used by the shooter that remarkably similar to those at the christ church shooter as is typical for steam games here are not subject to

germany's network enforcement or facebook act steen is not required to monitor content and stores only a minimal proportion for the purposes of criminal investigations our request for comment from steyn went unanswered for thomas gabriele ruediger one of a small number of german cyber criminologists who has published works on the topic it's an unacceptable situation transition in most people imagine an indoor playground where streamers it's an all age groups meet together with rapists and children and all those kids are exposed to rapists and extremists. how long do you think it would take for the government and police to realize you know where we have to take protective measures but that doesn't happen on the net. it's just a small group of gamers that radicalize into lone wolves but it's a group that exists. and there's no discussion about the game of the occasion of terror here. which is also probably due to lobbying by the gaming

industry and the man on thing he said it but once you bring it up you're accused of resorting to the old violent video game argument i 50000 killer shruti puppy dog. owned as you see in the claw what's missing is a discussion about ultimately these terrorists having been excessive gamers. ecstasy for game of on. and in many cases this kind of online perpetrator is equated with other terrorists. yes $50.00 that's what i mean give off a bus if there's a tendency to group all far writers together and is from the n.s.u. to the murder of walter luka and now hala or and. so on deciding to sort is a 014 but we need to differentiate between the place in society of far right extremists who are active in the analog domain. and that of gamers who have nothing

to do with the local scene and belong to virtual subcultures and communities even in phone via twitter. and that distinction is not being made that shift any it's not an issue that needs addressing by academics in their ivory towers and then of this is this is then about the capacity of security agencies to take action to see . that. so what needs to be done to prevent a repetition of the many mistakes of the past. well we need a huge increase in online policing by maybe a factor of 10 or 21 and we need this policing to have a bigger and more the visible presence that's what we need are experts who are familiar with gaming it's an issue that crops up all the time we need legal reforms to cover these online structures otherwise these changes won't happen if we need to talk about the responsibility of local law enforcement because it just doesn't make

sense anymore because there's practically no prevention and ultimately we have to talk about how this affects things globally. there needs to be a worldwide solution as radicalization is happening online with regularity and in the u.s. there are a lone wolf attacks on almost a weekly basis. pull be canon used to be a high ranking official in the u.s. department of defense. he now works as a security consultant in new zealand he assisted the. aftermath of the christ church attack. western security agencies have been late to the party there spent so much time and effort in the last almost 20 years now looking at extremists is lot that they haven't paid enough attention that was going behind the internet walls where white supremacist perhaps is of biological of biological opposition to the

islamists have organized very thoroughly their way ahead of the security authorities up until you know the last 3 years the issue a white supremacist was considered a local law enforcement problem it was not a national security problem this is for the entire western liberal democratic world now we know that that in fact it's false. it's an international front means to be combat as an international phenomenon. the fight against. tech and the far right community is considerable in scope and scale and there have been out of both me. operating behind the scenes of these lone wolves are a number of far right online organizations who have now flooded the internet with propaganda videos underlaid with techno music and these groups are also taking over image boards and messaging services like telegram with their ideology sporting

openly aggressive names one of them alone at home and division own or nuclear weapons division has been responsible for at least 5 murders alone and its propaganda videos were found on the computer of the hollow synagogue attack these groups are fueled by far right ideologies and their ultimate goal is to overthrow society the manifestoes posted by the attackers of 21000 more repeat with similar if not identical philosophies and steam where the very same kill is publicly posted is where groups like the tone deaf and division have been recruiting their lone wolves it's been clear. most european democracies that their biggest threat right now are white extremists and there are many reasons for that but the point of the imminent threat is coming from the right and then back to the park the thing is their technological catch. is still lag. when compared to the ability of this ruse to get into encrypted platforms and then move once they are detected

a few months ago one such online neo nazi group push shut down in an international police operation c.c.t.v. captured me and member of the foyer. placing a bomb outside an international office building in vilnius failed to detonate a similar bomb plot by another member of the same group targeting a synagogue in las vegas was thwarted by the f.b.i. a german recruit with the alias hydration the same name as a notorious s.s. leader in the 2nd world war was arrested in connection with yet another planned attack. we gained access to otherwise private chats among the where create a lone wolves like gravy and talent celebrated as heroes they even received letters of support in jail but at the same time the f. k. d. wanted to create computer games where users could reenact attacks in order to

attract teenagers as potential new lone wolves those recruits had to prove their commitment in tryouts a few years ago kevin from the eastern german stage of syringes joined one such chat group this was after being introduced to far right ideology by a family member but that mindset hernia seemed to violent i mentioned due to online exposure another person who these groups have tests of courage that you have to pass as proof of your loyalty i was basically just a recruit a beginner that was. but kevin did not want to remain a beginner he yearned for recognition and finally foundation the leader of his online group who then incited him to commit violent attacks. sort of a fight i wanted to rise through the ranks and show what i was made of i wanted recognition. that's why i did what i did i beat someone up i reported to the main leader with a picture of what i'd done for confirmation that i belong to the group they were my

family and i do anything for that with all. kevin since quit the online group and is now going back to high school he's become disillusioned with radical chap reviews. the next stop is a stone you know where the leader of the fire division was arrested we want to know who the individual is who incited young men to undergo trials and then prepare plans for terrorist attacks. we approached estonian intelligence while they did not agree to an interview they insisted that we would not continue our search for the young man in question because he was just 13 years old. senior investigator and this explains the challenges involved in identifying these online neo nazi groups usually in those kind of cases to overcome. by means of concentration. to find

always behind all those. factors but the person is very young and the surprise. so young people are capable of having such influence nowadays he cannot be prosecuted as a fault so i think there's a lot of work to do. for the family and of a school system. be it's only in boy has since been placed on a watch list like him many of the perpetrators in the virtual groups are extremely young. you're going to mention the consequent creep of these young people chat in very concrete terms about potential targets and then it means it's good news and there was a political. will that's a new development we're seeing come that way but it's good to you and you can talk about whether this is a strategy or

a plan deploying or activating young people. because in many cases they're too young to be prosecutable of composite us frequently teenagers a groomed behind the scenes by season to me are not seize the case of the a stony and void the trail leads to russia if you look at the history of those organizations were there giving things gratian the. do start from russian or something ideologists created those other times of thinking and there are manifold indications of activities by online the n.r.c. groups in russia one current example is right now they're not sorrow allegedly a former f.b.i. agent and a known white supremacist he lives in st petersburg where he works as a security consultant he's also the leader of one of the next most radical far right organizations the base serves to provide a bridge between groups and lone wolves. the b.b.c.

obtained and broadcast a recording of right now though not sorrow talking about the group's plan. if you believe the. there's no signal system here so the best water for us is to shoot. all. spanish. spirits are kind of growing for america. a few months ago a number of leading members of the base were arrested in the u.s. on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack that souray himself continues to live undisturbed in russia he's been using the internet to recruit minus from across europe for his group's so-called armed struggle conducting interviews for potential inductees a large number of teenage boys in europe have already been groomed by the base young people are being increasingly exposed to far right ideology online with

a growing number now popping up on the radar of the all summer to least in many cases they still haven't formed their own view of the world from armed we also all see and that's not true for we have also identified very internet savvy young suspects in some cases they have no awareness of these acts being of a criminal nature can cite for we've also seen a lot of hallmarks of band organizations where we have then found out during interrogation of those accused that they were not driven by nazi ideology as you know that's a decision about some states are there across the christ church attack a became a hardened neo nazi after years of radicalization only internet. muslim communities in new zealand had been threatened with a series of attacks without legal sorts he's responding anjum rahman received several such threats via the internet following the christ church massacre a new zealand prime minister just in the odd and other world leaders initiated the

christ church called summits aimed at preventing future lone wolf attacks. i went to new york last year for the christchurch coup. leaders dialogue meeting with a reporter back. it still seemed to me even after the christchurch to take the major focus is on muslims and. that's not acceptable but there's how do we keep the international community to say this is a serious 3 and we peaked too much it took years for governments to take the threat of lone wolves seriously they've now promised adequate funding and international cooperation but another question is whether they have the right strategy. you're mentioning. you need young people who know these online communities and are familiar with the symbolism in them they have to be involved in police investigation work otherwise we won't get this phenomenon that is becoming

increasingly more common under control. and this one crucial challenge resulting what is now a global problem increasingly the lone wolves are able to take refuge behind one of the foundations of western democracies. white supremacy used internet platforms to actually plan them prepare and check each of the awful small cell types ever use encrypted platforms the hard part of freedoms of speech and so you take advantage of what many see as an achilles' heel of liberal democracy which is the protection of offensive speech there is often a fine line between defending freedom of speech and prosecuting insightful hate speech. a calling footage of mass murder flowing unchecked into online forums another growing factor in the radicalization of uses. as governments and police
