now move 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 pounds 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. well, there's these rules development mike lang now also noticed that's actually over the evolved over time. he was becoming increasingly withdrawn and eventually broke off all contact. when was the last time we were hanging out together, paranoid, and kept talking nonsense about his own being tapped from telephone. the p. roosevelt, with mister body was now online practically 247. when he turned into a terrorist, he had online discussions with individuals who remain unknown self radicalized on
6:31 am
youtube and american conspiracy theory. websites. as with most loan wolves, he spent month 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 contact, however, he stopped talking, determined to protect his community. investigators 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 board was becoming increasingly violent. then an attack in a synagogue in pittsburgh with the killer, posting a farewell message on a channel or optic. i'm going in the front of the asked them under 15 image boxes. this was the 1st time we saw an image for the clear majority of people posting their advocating or violent was it?
6:32 am
they were no longer saying it's not looking good for us on get him book. if there was a breaking point where people actually believe that there were no political solution . and the only response was to take action and murder people and mentioned them on the degree to which the attackers of 2019 felt affinity. with each other was evident, doing steph and bally's interrogation. when asked why he had fired another shot at young lang. although she was already down, he said he didn't want to end up like philip mom's house than a region man who murdered his adopted chinese born sister. he announced beforehand on an image board of his plans mosque. but on his subsequent attempt, he was overpowered by a muslim worship. in court, he claimed she's been fighting for the survival of the white race. he was sentenced to 21 years in jail. mom's house use the trial as a platform that okay sign here serving as
6:33 am
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 hello, on the computer of steph and buddy, a almost all of the terrorists in 2019 also used steam, an online platform for buying and playing computer games, which claims to have over a 1000000000 uses. 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 olds, w somberly, was an active member of the extremist anti refugee club on steam. in july 2016, he shot dead 9 people of non german origin in munich, before killing himself. there was substantial evidence pointing to a phone right motivation. somebody use the same terminology later used by the 2019 terrorist d to published a manifesto. it's title. i'm going to now kill every german tech
6:34 am
despite the far right most kids, there's every refused to see right wing terry with them as an issue. it took until the end of 2019 for them to classify the attack is that of a fall right to stream attorney claudia has been fighting for a comprehensive investigation into the attack. she represents a number of the victims families which have really questions and then find it hard to accept how it came to that initial assessment time. it was simply not acceptable of me. i find it hard to believe or even call it a real assessment tools to make it. this was a case of politicians deliberately playing down the and not wanting to fix the problem solving the 3 years later that became inevitable. also due to what happened in how heavy it is for the parents of jack layla, one of the victims of the 2016 munich massacre acknowledging the fall of id on the g behind the attack is vital for them. justice is also completely explaining the
6:35 am
motivating factors in order to prevent further attacks. far right terror in germany is a very present danger. we've seen since our attacks, how many others have happened, hits and they go find their wizell in the hutton, however much evidence our attorneys provide it and it was always rejected, kill in. you could see it as 9 people dead more. you could also see it as 9 foreigners down the south in, but in this case it was 9 non german's debt. was my most like one hub that left a mark on the windshield last night in july 2017. the right wing extremist who had supplied somebody with his gun, went on trial. a tiny cloudy and narrow sighted a range of quotes from steam group, such as the anti refugee club. there were clear indications that this group could produce further lone wolf attackers via the napkins we found it incomprehensible
6:36 am
during and subsequent to the trial. that when we bring up the existence of online target list, a german court, we checked the motions of evidently the aptly and and as expected. the next attack was not long coming. 21 year old william atchison opened fire in his former high school and as tech, new mexico killing to students folks hispanic atchison had chatted frequently on line with the munich attacker. that's a good mac. come on. we had already realized that the setting was right for another attack, and it was just a question of time before something else happens. it's going to be sadly it with no surprise when it did. we thought the limits of german rule of law and it's not a good feeling in this case in 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
6:37 am
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 all sort. she's involved. i think it's worth it for her voice to be heard how things were overwork, how things were out there. things could have been turned to prevent this and it was i think it's important for my daughter's name's sake to do something to face and thing to take action with this. and the family is still suffering. stephen, now the supporting network behind the attack has will not allow her beloved daughter to rest in peace. members have even posted cases, autopsy reports on line. jamie laughing 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 or realized how big it really is.
6:38 am
just casting 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 folders are all over the internet. i've had many, many sleepless nights because of that. so her next step is to hand over the litany of official failures surrounding the attacks in munich and as tech to louis roblis. when of new mexico's highest profile attorneys, despite available evidence, u. s. law enforcement likewise failed to determine the virtual background of the man behind the 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. they asked actually school file,
6:39 am
they would have realized that he was serious about committing the crime that ultimately he committed. they knew how to identify it 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 acheson as a potential attacker information was not forwarded to agencies in the us. 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
6:40 am
united states, you know, all it would have taken is a phone call. references now waiting for the f. b i 's filed on the case and we'll be working with german attorneys to finally get the full picture on things between the 2 attacks. this international online network of killers to so far escaped full investigation. we set out to track down a former member of the anti refugee club in germany. he is arrested prior to the execution of a plan to attack and is subsequently undergoing therapy. he provided deals 13 back them with information about the new mexico shooter, william atchison. i came across that just then because he was apparently the best player anywhere of hatred on theme. his name was natural selector, i found that impressive. and he then introduced me to the munich attack or w, somebody we'll stand what he
6:41 am
thought about the german authorities refusing to admit a connection between and, and so many that's just stupid. we also tell he ended up in the terrorism community. i wanted recognition in a social group. i came to it through instagram where i looked for past attacks. most of the people are young, around 16, but somebody with 18. i didn't have any friends at 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 and 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 holla, steam does not appear to be a significant focus for investigators. germany's domestic security agency was asked to assist with investigations,
6:42 am
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 hallow shooter . they do not feature in the court files once more despite the perpetrators excessive gaming behavior. police interrogators did not ask him about his contacts on steam. a large proportion of loan moves the regular play is of hyper violent line games me as part of an international venture involving generalists from 4 countries. we managed to identify the steam profile of the christ church, terrorist renting talent. the profile is still active and is given a superior status by supporters with bonuses and the upgrades they buy us another online hall of fame games glorifying attacks the publicly accessible on steam and enable uses to express them murderous fantasies. this game stimulates an attack on
6:43 am
a gay pride parade. the guns used by the chute and remarkably similar to those of the christ church shooter. as is typical, 15 games are not subject to germany's network enforcement or facebook act. steam is not required to monitor content and stores only a minimal proportion for the purposes of criminal investigations on request for comment from steam went on on that. for to montgomery, a rudy go one of a small number of german cyber criminologist who has published works on the topic. it's an unacceptable situation in those be thought imagine an indoor playground where extreme up and all age groups meet together with rapers and children involved . and those kids are exposed to rape as an extremist them. yet how long do you think it would take for the government and police to realize no way we have to take protective measures of kids. but that doesn't happen on the net christ. it's just a small group of de ms that radical eyes into lone wolf,
6:44 am
a group that exists about the uber gamification. this, there is no discussion about the gamification of terror here slicked willow, which is also probably due to lobbying by the gaming industry on women uncertainties. but once you bring it up, you're accused of resorting to the old violent video game argument. if it is a killer shoot about to be on. this is even leash law. what's missing is a discussion about it. ultimately, these terrorists let's having been excessive gamers. x to see if a game of on and in many cases this kind of online perpetrator is acquainted with of a terrorists is $50.00. that's what i'm going to work. and there's a tendency to group all far writers together and is from the nephew to the murder of walter luke and now holler, holler on it says,
6:45 am
even though the fish don't shy of the sort studies of your own fun, but we need to differentiate between the place and society of far right agreement, who are active in the analog domain, diesel studies up soon. and that of gamers who have nothing to do with the local scene and belong to virtual subcultures and communities even ties in front of you in court. and that distinction is not being made, apprenticeship finish date. it's not an issue that needs addressing by academics and their ivory towers to them. so this is, this is then about the capacity of security agencies to take action. the c sides be how to do it. so what needs to be done to prevent a repetition of the many mistakes of the past, the law, and we need a huge increase in online policing by may be a factor of 10 or 21. and we need this police seem to have a bigger and more visible present site, and that's what we need our experts who are familiar with gaming up. it's an issue that crops up all the time. we need legal reforms to cover these online structures
6:46 am
. and otherwise these changes won't happen. then we need to talk about the responsibility of local law enforcement because it just doesn't make sense anymore and much bigger. there's practically no prevention in it and, and ultimately we have to talk about how this affects things globally on, on the take there needs to be a worldwide solution as radicalization is happening online with regularity. and in the us, there are a lone wolf attacks on almost a weekly basis who buchanan used to be a high ranking official in the u. s. department of defense. he now works as the security consultant in new zealand. he assisted therapy in the aftermath of the christ church attack. western security agencies have been late to the party. they've spent so much time and effort in the last, almost 20 years now looking at extremist islam that they haven't paid enough
6:47 am
attention that was going behind the internet walls. where white supremacist perhaps is a dialogue dialectical opposition to the islamic. his have organized very thoroughly their way ahead of the security authorities. up until the last 3 years. the issue was the premises was considered a local law enforcement problem. it was not a national security problem, and this is for the entire western liberal democratic world. now we know that that in fact is false. it's an international phenomena and it needs to be combat it as an international phenomena with the same rigor that the fight against arcade dash were undertaken. and that for right community is considerable in scope and scale. operating behind the scenes of these loan rules, there are a number of farm right online organizations who have now flooded the internet.
6:48 am
we've probably got the videos on delayed with techno music. and these groups are also taking of the image boards and messaging services like telegram with their ideology, sporting openly aggressive names, one of them alone at home ref, individually owned 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, cynical attacker. these groups are fueled by far right. ideologies and they're also my goal is to research society. the manifesto is posted by the attackers of 2019, were replete with similar if not identical philosophies and steam, whether very same killers, probably posted groups like the at home disease and have been recruiting their wolves. that's been clear now to most european democracies that their biggest threat right now are white extremists. and there are many reasons for that, but the point is the imminent threat is coming from the right. and they've acted
6:49 am
upon the thing, is there technological catch up is still lagging when compared to the ability of these rooms to get into encrypted platforms and then move. once they're detected a few months ago, one such online neo nazi group shut down in an international police operation, cctv captured lithuanian member of the creek division and 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 supported by the f b i a german recruit with the alias. hi, trish the same name as a notorious assessed leader in the 2nd world who was arrested in connection with another plan to attack. we gained access to otherwise private chance among the creative as you well known, moves like brave ish and terence celebrated as heroes. they even received letters
6:50 am
of support in jail, but at the same time the f k. d wanted to create computer games where users could reenact to tax in order to attract teenagers as potential new loan, wolves. those recruits had to prove their commitment in tryouts a few years ago. kevin, from the eastern german stage of syringe, joined one such chat group. this was after being introduced to far right ideology by a family member. but that mindset only assume divine and dimension due to online explosion . these groups have tests of courage that you have to pass as proof of your loyalty . i was basically just a recruiting beginner. that was in my last but kevin did not want to remain a beginner. he yearned recognition and finally foundation the leader of his online group, who then incited him to commit violent attacks. what sort of life was i wanted to rise through the ranks and show when i was made up. i wanted recognition. that's
6:51 am
why i did what i did. i beat someone up until the position i reported to the main leader with a picture of what i done for confirmation that i belonged to the group. they were my family and i do anything for them to go to the cabin distance, quit the online group and is now going back to high school. he's become disillusioned with radical chat, wins on next step. is this stone? you were the leader of the fire creek, the video 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 the sca huh. explains the challenges involved in identifying these online neo nazi groups.
6:52 am
usually in those kinds of cases. the problem is how to overcome the means of concentration and to find the voice behind those earlier season and who is war. and the fact is that the person is very young and the surprise so young people are capable of having some influence nowadays, he cannot be persecuted as adult. so i think there's lot of work to do the family end of the school system. the sony invoice has been placed on a watch list like him. many of the perpetrators in the virtual groups are extremely young. these are you in mentioned how she sees. consequently, all these young people chat in very concrete terms about potential targets and enemies, difficulty and put it in their stone and their astonishingly political c,
6:53 am
my name lloyd, and that's a new development we're seeing on what comes up about this could t. and you can talk about whether this is a strategy or a plan, so you'll deploying or activating young people with tv. because in many cases, they're too young to be prosecuted for go off campus auditors. frequently teenagers groomed behind the scenes by season to near nancy's. in the case of the estonian boy, the trail leads to russia. if you look at the history of those organisations how, what they are getting things duration, they usually start from russian or something on the ologist who have created those other. and so thinking and there are manifold indications of activities by online, near nancy groups in russia. one current example is renado sorrow, allegedly a former f b i agent, and the known white supremacists. he lives in st. petersburg where he works as
6:54 am
a security consultant. he's also the leader of one of the most radical fun right organizations. the base served to provide a bridge between groups and loan walls. the b, b. c, obtained and broadcast recording of right now the sorrow talking about the group plans. so the best option for us is full collapse roll initially creating self areas possible and growing from there. 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 sarah himself continues to live undisturbed in russia. he's been using the internet to recruit minors from across europe for his group, so called struggle conducting interviews for potential inductees. a large number of
6:55 am
teenage boys in europe have already been groomed by the base. young people are being increasingly exposed to phone, right? ideal naji on line with a growing number now popping up on the radar of the summer tease. in many cases, they still haven't formed their own view of the world. also, we have also identified very internet savvy young people. in some cases, they have no awareness of these act being of a criminal nature can tie. and we've also seen a lot of hallmarks of band organizations where we have then found out during interrogation of those acute that they were not driven by nazi ideology in either television or something. back on the christ church, it became a hardens neo nazi after years of radicalization on the internet, muslim communities and new zealand had been threatened to the series of attacks. without the responding angel. raman received several such threats via the internet
6:56 am
following the christ church massacre, new zealand prime minister, just into arden and other world leaders initiated the christ church calls summit aimed at preventing future lone wolf attacks. i went to new york last year for the christ church call latest dialogue leasing with a reported pick. payments still seem to me even after the christ to take the major focus as on my phone. and that's not acceptable. how do we get the national community to say, this is a series in liberty for governments to take the threat of lo move seriously. they've now promised adequate funding and international cooperation with another question is whether they have the right strategy or not call new dimension, decent leave miss hall. you need young people and i know these online community and
6:57 am
are familiar with the symbolism can and when does they have to be involved in police investigation work type committees. otherwise we won't get this phenomenon that is becoming increasingly more common that under control hastings. and this one crucial challenge in resolving what is now a global problem. increasingly the loan, whoops, are able to take refuge behind one of the foundations of western democracies. white supremacist use internet platforms to actually plan them, prepare in terms of the lone wolf, a small cell types, and they use encrypted platforms. they hide behind freedom of speech. so you take advantage of why many c as an achilles heel liberal democracy, which is the protections of offensive. there is often a fine line between defending freedom of speech and prosecuting insightful hate speech. appalling footage of mass murder flowing unchecked into online forums.
6:58 am
another growing factor in the radicalization of uses as governments and police forces around the western world struggling to find a solution to the scourge of terror wisdom. time is a me ah, the gold rush and the truce for the chief of the middle due to try and the more expensive the novel metal becomes the deeper illegal gold miners to penetrate the brazilian rain for the guardians of the forest. the moon, deluca have barely any chance of protecting the world. 3000.
