2:00 pm
the jewish in europe, the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw, the news . this is dw news live from berlin, chief and leaders agree to a global minimum. the corporate tax rate. germany says the agreement is a strong fine as solid derossi's that will force companies to pay the shaft that will other countries agree to the will off can expert also coming out a lot. christy activist is released from a hong kong prison child hand kong accuses authorities of covering up aging crime.
2:01 pm
she was jailed for one night for organizing a vigil on the anniversary of the chinaman square massacre. and nigeria says it's suspending twitter indefinitely, accusing it of double standards. it comes off to the messaging platform, remove a post from the country as president, but not from a separatist leader. ah, i'm and you can just get in. thanks so much for joining us. we begin today with some breaking news just coming in here. 7 finance ministers meeting in london say they've reached deal on global tax reform versus finance minister richie sooner can ounce what he called a historic agreement just a few moments ago saying it will make the global tax system fit for the digital age . it was set corporate tax at
2:02 pm
a minimum rate of 15 percent. germany finance minister has called the agreement, quote, good news, just and i'll go solid. darcy agreement today and more on this that spring. and alex called him, whose chief executive of the tax justice network. alex, thanks so much for joining us. what do you think of the g seven's announcement that there's 2 things to say here. first, this really is a historic moment. you know, they are agreeing to start the end of the race to the bottom right. this process way by companies are able to capture all of the benefits of their for an investment by getting countries to compete against each other to offer lower and lower tax rate. this is a big deal. but the 2nd thing to say is this. the way the g 7, i'm going about this with such a low rate, it should have been at least 25 percent. but also following the proposal of the cd, it means that the benefits are much more than they would have been. so
2:03 pm
$275000000000.00 of additional revenues we calculate and the g 7 will get the majority of that 60 percent, even though the g 7 only accounts for about 10 percent of the world's population. so it's a big deal, but it's also very unfair, and it shows just how i'm fit for purpose. the b o e c, d, and the g 7 r as the, the, the rich countries setting the rules for everyone else. we need to move this to the united nations and get a deal that works for everyone. not just the g 7 looking out for their own revenues . okay. but even if it is only 15 percent, you say this will only work. all countries in the world get on board with it now, is that going to happen? will know, and that's why this is a big deal. actually this doesn't need a global tracy. this can be done as a coalition of the willing. so if the g 7 move ahead with 15 percent or higher, the u. s. may stick with 21 percent, for example. and the g 20 countries,
2:04 pm
the other major economies come with them. that's 80 to 90 percent of the world economy already. now that means that luxemburg will island or the netherland middle came and may want to object, but they won't be able to. they can offer lower tax rates, but lose tax rates will get top it up to at least 15 percent in the countries where the real activity is taking place. that's what makes this very powerful. but it also, again means that it's important. it's fair that the benefits of this on just captured by the g 7, they're shared with, particularly the lower income countries who lose a bigger share of tax revenues to this type of corporate tax abuse. why has it taken so long for a decision like this to be made? that is a great question. and the reason is this, the g 7 countries have all of the power, but they are split about this. on the one hand, they will the revenues just as everyone else does. but on the other hand, each of their multinational companies who are mainly responsible for this,
2:05 pm
the u. k, in particular, has been a major blocker. and if you take the u. k, along with all of its dependent territories. it is the biggest single actor in corporate tax abuse worldwide, you know, putting something like a $160000000000.00 of revenue losses on everyone else. so of course, it's been hard for them to get to this point, but we're here now because everyone needs revenues to respond to the pandemic. and that's again why it's so crucial that we raise that revenues in a way that includes the lower income countries whose public health systems are the most heavily under pressure right now. alex southern from the tax justice network. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. the hong kong pro democracy act, this child hang tongue has been released from police custody a day after she was detained. child was arrested on friday for organizing and promoting an annual vigil for the victims of the shannon square. massacre is the 2nd year in a row. the hong kong authorities band vigils for the 190809 africa in which chinese

2:07 pm
acts of this thing, hong kong right now, what's hold on for this site? as well as ridiculous crime that's rank 33, our detention inside the police station. the so called after shows of leave want facebook post and social media comments on the internet and also the interview a given to the media. so she thought it was an intimidation to the public and also perhaps as well that she was like. and so call a what it will be call it, pretend to address that the police didn't impact so as to prevent her from being present populated commemorated press down that such strong also could be risky because we have seen some of the accident already being prosecuted. that comments i gave the government that they are not being prosecuted, reading hatred and in fighting divisions,
2:08 pm
what and so on. what charges could child hung, tongue still face? now child who was arrested for advertising and publicizing, and an authorized assembly, which fans candlelight vigil. it carries a maximum of even though the lawyer was asked if it was charged after the rest so far, but it doesn't eliminate the tons of future complications. meanwhile, she was just also facing all the charges i regarding last year's candlelight vigils, inciting, and attending an authorized assembly. and that carries a maximum of 5 years. and she will be facing out next week about phoebe kong in hong kong. thanks so much. now the nigerian government says it is suspending twitter indefinitely. 2 days ago,
2:09 pm
the social media platform removed a post from president do bihari the threatened to punish regional secessionist the information ministry accused with a double standards and ignoring violent messages from a separatist leader. this is really on the issue of deny, jerry and government announced the twitter ban somewhat ironically on twitter. it said it was taking action because the quote persistent use of the platform for activities that a capable of undermining nigeria is culprit existence and 12, they're not going to be for anybody to convey to room how do for the rest of our ability to just miss andrea give you a 2nd. those 2 examples is very suspect. the band comes days after twitter removed a post from nigeria as president mohammed who bahati. twitter says in the tweet,
2:10 pm
bahati threatened to punish groups blamed for attacks on government buildings that violated the companies abusive behavior policy. but a boot accuses twitter of double standards. it says to it has been indifferent about attacks on government and security facilities inside nigeria. the government points to last d, as in sam anti police brutality protests, which were mostly organized on twitter platform. people was born in 40 stations on police 3 and a junior us for twitter. it was about the right to protest for what accumulated happened when the capital he became a selection. twitter has defended its decision to remove to heidi's tweet and says the twitter band is deeply concerning. but with the report suggesting the platform is still accessible on certain carriers,
2:11 pm
it remains unclear just how effective this blackout would be. okay, let's take a look now to some of the other stories making news around the world. inter lancaster flash floods and debris flows caused by heavy rains have killed at least 4 people and left 7 thanks. more than 5000 people have been displaced and hundreds of homes have been damaged. in china or at least 2 people have died and 6 missing. after an accident in a coal mine, china has been carrying out safety inspections mines across the country. that record high coal prices have minors ramping up production to meet supply gaps. was now large plots of derelict land in budapest as being turned into the 1st european campus of an elite chinese university and on gary intact. pay as it will be. picking up the bill. 2 thirds of hungarians oppose the project. and anger is growing against prime minister victim of the bond. he
2:12 pm
w funny reports. now. initially, the area behind his fence in budapest was supposed to become the home to more than 10000 students. the plan to build affordable dorms, especially for people from hungary, rural areas. the ground has been broken for various projects, including the new athletic stadium. but the government is also allowing china to build the very 1st european campus of the shanghai based food and university on the site. according to government, documents obtained by the hungarian investigative media outlet direct, 36. the chinese campus will be financed by a 1300000000 euro loan paid for by hungarian taxpayers. the john is behind the report fees all the worrying implications for the projects. sub watch pony says hungary, intensifying ties with china. create
2:13 pm
a friendly environment for chinese intelligence. there's an increasing number of chinese students flowing in to the country. and china is known for using citizens forcing them to feed information to the chinese intelligence. so the larger the chinese footprint is in hungary the larger the risk of espionage during various visits with his chinese counterparts. over the past decade, prime minister victor or bon, has been openly pursuing an eastern opening strategy in the hopes of attracting chinese investment at the beginning of the corporate pandemic, or been personally inspected tons of protective equipment that had arrived at the budapest airport from china, hungary is also the only country in the u. t. knoxville, aged citizens with a chinese coffee vaccine. and the recently vetoed an
2:14 pm
e joint statement expressing concern over china's tightening control over hong kong . so who really benefit from this relationship? hungary, i think, has we told the most in favor of china. so china is the number one manufacturer of hungary disruptive power and say to you, but we don't actually see chinese fund dark investment flowing in pouring in to the country. the campus, for example, will be built using chinese labor and building materials shipped in from china and not every one in hungary is a fan of the eastern opening strategy. budapest may or get caught out showing is a key opponent of or bon. he has been showing his opposition to what he calls chinese influence buying in his own special way for street near the plant chinese construction site have recently been renamed. students at the new campus may have
2:15 pm
to take dalai lama road or free hong kong road to get to class. wanting to w news live from berlin up. next is our documentary serious doc film, which looks at how people become lone wolf carry time, new coup as they can. and on behalf of the whole nice team here at the w, how much for being with the news. imagine how many portion of loans turn out in world climate change can be very cost the stores. this is my place, the way from just one week. how much left and really get we still have time to act. i'm doing all this
2:16 pm
in the internet to spooned a new brand of karen prism one seemingly without lisa tate. we perpetrators are called lone wolf things, but that only refers to the execution of the crime loan will always belong to larger packs, ideologically speaking, locations wouldn't learn, moves, and those that support them. a, so radicalized thing online by the sounds, and they meet and exchange ideas on internet forums for violence. fun, right? ideal energy use investigations in germany and around the world has been looking in the wrong places and completely underestimated the impact of these internet forums . well, we need a huge increase in online policing. i may be a factor of 10 or 20 and we need this police seem to have a bigger and more visible present kite. and as the threat posed by these lane move
2:17 pm
increases, so just the number of casualties, a lot of dangerous people out there, they have the violence. there are risks of societies they live in and they were from all over the world. the news so white supremacists, and as bearing brave is the original lone wolf and a major inspiration. on july 22nd 2011, he killed 77 people into attacks in no way off the cell radical icing on lines. then u. s. president obama stress that is lemme extreme mrs. we're far from the only source of global terrorism. the rest of that we're especially concerned of right now is the lone wolf terrorist and the sort that we saw in norway recently when you got
2:18 pm
one person who is arranged or driven by a hateful ideology, they can do a lot of damage and it's a lot harder to trace those lone wolf operators. he would be proven correct. 9 years on these levels and responsible for more murders in the western world than any other kind of terrorism. just as digital media is changing the world, so to is terrorism with it, many potential terrorists, almost exclusively radicalized with right wing propaganda from the internet. and they likely germany's biggest threat to, as government still failed to properly understand this brand of terrorism. these loan moves launches, fit the same social profile, white male, and typically a recluse with no friends. their ideology, racism, anti semitism and hatred for women. their fields by a dangerous mix of frustration and political radicalization. these men typically
2:19 pm
spend hours on end chatting with like minds on international online forums called image boards. uses here of present that have to recall mockery and bit out from each of the image. boards enable users to post pictures and text anonymously and originally were created in japan to share manga images. probably the best known as these websites is for chance. over the years, the content pasted here has become increasingly radical, with bullying, sexism, and political extremism. now the know most of the services are located in the us where precious little content is deleted. christopher, he becker, one of germany's few prosecutors specializing in cyber crime. you did image boards, investigations, seeing stuff down on despot the leaves are evidently people who essentially live in a bubble name where they become emotionally desensitized and where a certain demographic groups are portrayed as in human and where there's growing
2:20 pm
incitement against people of a certain background noise that the into so the inhibition threshold is lower and off and that could increase the danger of not just hate speech being disseminated on than that, but also of crimes being committed in the analog. because as seen in the german city of honda on october, the 9th 2019, she tried to force his way into this synagogue intent on carrying out a massacre on the jewish holiday. of y'all keep poor, only the locked synagogue dual prevented even worse. horace, frustrated, he instead murdered 40 year old deanna lang outside the synagogue, and 20 year old kevin shops in a cab shop as belly, a fled, he wounded the 2 people with his self made gums. he also streamed his attack life online through the online community who could react in real time and share it with others. but he, himself is believed to have uploaded the material to just to forums that after
2:21 pm
seeing as potential germany use it immediately to the biggest image brought online for chance, where it accumulated thousands of page views then enters the public domain and found itself on smartphones around the world even victims, this one is that family. so the video on the day of the attack, we tracked down the original person that shed the video in germany, a man who since been charged with incitement to racial hatred. he explains the attraction of anonymity on image. we now only contact people online who we are familiar with, not 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 the tax also serve as a badge of honor for that online community. similar to a high school in a video game, perpetrators the eager to gain recognition via a high school of victims. and those schools are listed in insidious halls of fame,
2:22 pm
particularly sickening of the bonus points for murdering children. stephan valley 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 to somali men who were just coming out of a street car. one of them was asked tax him. he came from the wrong side and really stepped on. it, i tried to run away at the car, hit me here. i went to the ground and lost consciousness, and he just drove off. the perpetrator was even heard in a post soon afterwards, complaining that his guns functioned. the impact to violent video games is something florian, hot lab has been studying in detail. his research produced what is now
2:23 pm
a standard work on this new form of terrorism. the game, if occasion just here was there is a rising game if occasion, and the terrorism seen a platform and the platforms are changes with the noise. and the latest development is live stream of the light, where perpetrators are directly addressing their fans. and that's something you can see very clearly in hollow, at least in hollywood walk. this is the court room in the regional capital mack, the book that's been hosting the child, steph and benny the terrorist attack on a synagogue in germany, made headlines around the world. heating raised the fears of a resurgence in far rice extremism. this is seen as valley i was led into court on the 1st day of his trial, amidst great public interest. its hope. the hearings will also shed light on the background to the attack. is meant to take in the owner of the combat shop in hallo, almost became a victim himself. he makes
2:24 pm
a personal speech outside the court. there was a light before the attack and there is now a different light. we are survivors of the attacks on october 9th, 201-9000 are taking is accompanied at court by his attorney who has experience of trials involving far right terrorism. among his previous clients. the victims of the su carousel and racially motivated shooting in munich in 2016. in response to this, i'm interested to see how the accused behave up whether his months in jail have given him a chance to soften his rhetoric. or whether he's a hard and far right ideologists who will attempt to use this trial at his own stage. you know, if that valley 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 video was in his eyes more important than the attack itself.
2:25 pm
his aim to motivate others like him and scratch his message if hate, that very video would now be shown in court to the satisfaction of a bill called a crackpot with a crude philosophy. i think it was no surprise that he's anti semitic, and his lama foam and a racist and what also became clear is that he cannot disguise his beliefs about this gordon. that crude philosophy was easy to expose, that prosecutors had few insights into radicalization online with him. i think a check who had been chatting with and on which forums and what kind of ideas and plans were being this was the sort of what did he tell others? and what does he know about those individual? i got these, these are the crucial questions, not least because there are currently 4 very similar attacks being tried before
2:26 pm
court in different countries. the so called low rooms have very strong political motivations. attacks in 2019 ball, almost identical, whole monks, perpetrators, self radicalized on the same image boards. right manifesto that berg from each other, and wanted to stream their actions live online. the terrorists from 2019 were frequent visitors to the fortune image boards and the even more extremist 8 chad and successes. they also use these chat rooms to announce them murderous plans and publish them manifesto on these forums the most violent factors on it and remembered as the 1st of these attacks in 2019 was carried out in christ church. new zealand, brent and tyrant stormed into 2 mosques, murdering 51 people. he was the 1st attack to post a live video like in
2:27 pm
a 1st person shooter game. and he inspired a wave of further deadly attacks. first in california and texas, followed by low in august, and then finally in holler near detroit for media with these image boards and writes gaming greeks, he monitors new extremist content being posted online every day and gives presentations explaining the danger emanating from these perpetrators is really mysteriously eyes from the world they live in is not real. it's about some of the talk elliptical end of the world scenario. and they claim there is a white genocide taking place. and this is why it's basically a death hole where the end of the world is not seen and in germany, to avoid basically the loss of germany that's coming any day. now from an eminent attack on us by lords of muslims, or some other evil forces and end of days fantasy that people become obsessed with
2:28 pm
the hate of muslims by these would be terrorists, almost brought combat chaperone is mate taken to his end 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 has since struggled to continue onward. then much live at night. you get nightmares. you think of this awful attack these puss yet? how it happened? why whoa and why nobody could stop the open. why did nobody do anything? was good time. the whether you saw a case to slow to identify the attacker. we're heading to isolate, but one of the poorest towns in the country where stefan valley a grew up. here we meet some of the few acquaintances. he has that. what kind of
2:29 pm
person was he? and did they suspect anything beforehand might lang, there remembers him occasionally joining him and his friends that their regular hang out by a supermarket. he remembered much like many others. how he made racist comment. freaking foreigners and stuff. people don't take seriously. you're going to help. it was just regular kids shooting their mouths off. i say, i thought more a case of following the crowd than actually joining protest marches or whatever other crap why he just wanted to along somewhere on this is mike lang, the celebrating his birthday playing drinking games together with these private video recordings seem to suggest that he was a typical teenager for the area. the young men would spend a lot of time driving around and generally had right wing views and other acquaintances of his but also willing to talk to us. they describe the now 27 year old as an unassuming load, now more the shy boy from next door. shortly after finishing high school,
2:30 pm
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 that he began assembling an arsenal of weapons, small 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 its own being tapped is available in the fuels. 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
2:31 pm
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 contacts, 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 career optic. i'm going in the front of the ask them on the 15 image, but this list was the 1st time we saw an image for the clear majority of people posting their advocating or violent was it? they were no longer saying it's not looking good for on yet. but the importer thing,
2:32 pm
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 stephan valley is interrogation. when asked why he had fired. another shot at young langer. although she was already down, he said he didn't want to end up like philip mom's house than a widget man who murdered his adopted chinese born sister. he announced beforehand on an image board of his plans. so my mosque that on his subsequent attempt, he was overpowered by 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. man's house, use the trial as a platform that okay sign here serving as a gesture in support of the white power movement. a gesture also supported by the
2:33 pm
christ church attacker in court. and also found by the police in hello on the computer of steph. and by 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 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 staying in july 2016, he shot dead people of non german origin in munich before killing himself. there was substantial evidence pointing to a fall right motivation. somebody use the same terminology later used by the 2019 terrorists to published a manifesto, its title. i'm going to now kill every german tech. despite the far right
2:34 pm
motive, does every thirty's refuse to the right wing terrorism as an issue. it took until the end of 2019 for them to classify the attacks as that of a phone right extremist attorney. claudia has been fighting for a comprehensive investigation into the attack. she represents a number of the victims. families have really questions and i find it hard to accept how it came to that initial assessment. that simply not acceptable of me. i find it hard to believe or even call it real assessment at all. this was a case of politicians deliberately playing down the and not wanting to fix the problem. but 3 years later, that became inevitable. also due to what happened in how heavy it is. i said the parents have chan, layla one is the victims of the 2016 munich massacre. acknowledging the far right idea behind the attack is vital for them. justice is also completely explaining the motivating factors in order to prevent further attacks. but as far right terror in
2:35 pm
germany is a very present danger, we've seen since our tax, how many others have happened hits and go find ways on the, on the hudson. however much evidence our attorneys provided and it was always rejected. and you could see it as 9 people dead more. you could also see it as 9 foreigners that on the scene. but in this case, it was 9 non german's debt was my most and my mom hop on that left a mark on that. if i should be less than that in july 2017, the right wing extremist who has supplied somebody with his gun, went on trial attorney claudia naz cited 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 on a mac, and we found it in comprehensible during and subsequent to the trial. that when we
2:36 pm
bring up the existence of online target lists, a german court with jack's motions of evidence. and as expected, the next attack was not long coming. 21 year old william atchison opened fire in his former high school in as tech new mexico, killing 2 students, both hispanic atchison had chatted frequently on line with the munich attacker. i should get back to van. we had already realized that the setting was right for another attack, and it was just a question of time before something else happened. is going to be sadly, no surprise when it did. we saw the limits of german rule of law and it's not a good feeling in escrow. 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 atchison's victims, casey jordan marquez. she wants to fully investigation into the virtual network
2:37 pm
behind the anti refugee club, linked to the murder of her daughter, and also into the failures of all summer cheese 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 fake to do something to faith and thing to take action with it. and the family is still suffering. stephen, now the supporting network behind the attackers will not allow her beloved daughter to rest in peace. members have even posted cases, autopsy report online. jamie latin has tried in vain to have it taken down. i was very shocked. i mean, i've heard of the dark lead before heard of these kind of forms before, but i never understood or realized how big it really is. it's
2:38 pm
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 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, one of new mexico's highest profile attorneys, despite available evidence us law enforcement likewise failed to determine the virtual background of the man behind the tax shooting had the f. b. i simply done their job and look through the online, you know, gallery of statements that were being made had the f. b, i. ashley looked at the aspect shoot
2:39 pm
a school file. they would have realized that he was serious about committing the crimes. and ultimately he commit, they knew how to identify, 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. that 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 united states, you know, all it would have taken is
2:40 pm
a phone call. roblis is 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 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 was arrested prior to the execution of a plan to attack and subsequently undergoing therapy. he provided the authorities backed them with information about the new mexico shooter, william atchison. i came across atchison 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 w, somebody we'll tell me what he thought about the german authorities refusing to admit
2:41 pm
a connection between atchison and somebody that's just stupid we'll. so he ended up in the terrorist 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 was 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 the 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 hollow steam does not appear to be a significant focus for investigators. germany's domestic security agency was asked to assist with investigations,
2:42 pm
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, 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 steam. a large proportion of loan rules the regular players 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, terrorists, and 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 are publicly accessible on steam and enable uses to express them murderous fantasies. this game stimulates an attack on a gay pride parade. the guns used by the shooting remarkably similar to those of
2:43 pm
