here's what's known about anis amri's movements prior to the berlin attack: anis amri left his familynisia, travelling illegally to italy in 2011. he spent four years there in jail for violence and theft, but without a passport, he couldn't be deported to tunisia. so last year he moved to kleve in germany. denied asylum, once again he wasn't deported. security services feared he was trying to get automatic weapons for an attack but with no new evidence, surveillance of him was halted in september. with us now is our diplomatic correspondent. very quickly after the news reached us that he was found and shot dead questions are being asked about whether this attack could have been prevented. first of all, it looks as though this was a routine stop in milan. they got lucky. it wasn't a result of any heightened security. that is one factor. the may well have missed him. the key question is, how did he get from berlin to milan? some people think you may have taken the train. it is raising questions about security within the european union? the interests lapsed, they had limited resources. t

it looks very random and when anis amri, the person who we now know to be anis amri took out his gunther one ticket out of his gun as well and shot anis amri. aftera of his gun as well and shot anis amri. after a few hours, we could have full confirmation from the interior minister that he was anis amri. because of fingerprints found. amri. because of fingerprints found. a random control, as we know until now. do we know where he had been staying in milan, if indeed he was staying in milan, if indeed he was staying with accomplices or what? as we know, he arrived in milan by train at 1am. the police chief of milan said that we are sure that at 1am last night he was in milan really central station. he came from 2m where he spent a few hours in the night. he came from a friends perhaps. we do not know. we know that anis amri spent five years of his short life in italy. he was arrested when he arrived in italy because of riots in a centre for immigrants and he spent four years in jail in immigrants and he spent four years injail in sicily. we know that he has an italian history, but unt

i also cannot confirm the death of anis amri.an authorities and that is something they seem to have done already. and the information they need to come from the italian authorities, as far as i am concerned, i have to ask, i have to thank the italian authorities for the very close and useful and confidential flow of information. also with the german foreign representations, in rome, as well as milan. ican representations, in rome, as well as milan. i can also confirm that the federal government is in close contact with the italian authorities, but we do not as yet have official confirmation. and the federal prosecutor has not confirmed the news either. are we talking about the same officer who has been liaising with the italian authorities? is it the same contact officer? yes. in many german foreign representations, also in rome, we have a contract officer and these office rs have a contract officer and these officers normally officers of the criminal office who served in a foreign representation on stewart —— office or embassy t

anis amri. >> reporter: that is right, christi christine. i think this is the end of the first chapter of the saga. the manhunt completed, but the real questioning of what this means for europe and the fight against terrorism is just beginning. let's review what happened over the last few days. a real failure in homeland security and questions about the initial phases of the investigation. questions about why this individual wasn't more closely surveilled and how closely germany and europe will deal with the issue of vetting of refugees and the pouring of people from syria and other parts of the middle east into their countries and the political fallout that opponents of leaders of the governments will surely propagate in the days and weeks and months ahead. so we can take one moment to appreciate the fact that there's some level of justice for the victims and the perpetrator has been dealt with. really the problem is just far from solved. >> more immediately, josh, the concern that you have a f

it took german police two days to focus on anis amri, his fingerprints we re focus on anis amri, hisnd on the steering wheel, his documents hidden in the cab. but what do we know about him? he left his family in tunisia, travelling illegally to italy in 2011. he spent four years in illegally to italy in 2011. he spent fouryears injail illegally to italy in 2011. he spent four years injailfor violence illegally to italy in 2011. he spent four years in jail for violence and theft but without a passport he couldn't be deported. so last year he moved to germany, and neither side, once again he wasn't deported. security services feared he was trying to get automatic weapons for an attack but with no new evidence surveillance of him was halted in september. the case raises questions, questions that are not only tied to this crime but also to the time before since he came to germany in july 20 the time before since he came to germany injuly 2015. we will now intensively examine to what extent official procedures need to be changed. from a village of tunisia to the streets of europe, from pe

making it very clear that with that shooting dead of anis amri, that is not by any means the end of the investigation ongoing against, as he put it, anonymous people. various other people who are being sought. perhaps ina people who are being sought. perhaps in a network, perhaps something else. those details will be urging no doubt fairly shortly. let me now ta ke no doubt fairly shortly. let me now take you back to our other major story this afternoon, which is the flight story this afternoon, which is the flight in malta which has been hijacked. it was an internal flight in libya which was hijacked and then diverted to malta where it landed. these are live pictures that you are seeing now of the plane. the maltese prime minister tweeted earlier today that security and emergency operations are standing by. we saw pictures earlier of security officer standing by the perimeterfence. the airbus a3120. has maybe 111, or maybe 118 people. the accounts are confused. mainly men and —— some women and one in front. —— one infant. joining me now from webcam is herman grech, an editor at the time

german police say there is clear evidence linking their main suspect a tunisian man, anis amri, to thek on a christmas market in berlin. his fingerprints have been found in the lorry that was driven into shoppers on monday, killing 12 people. speaking at the family home in tunisia, amri's brother called on him to give himself up. chancellor merkel said today she was proud of the calm way in which germans had responded to the attack, as our europe correspondent damian grammaticas reports. it is new footage that hasjust emerged. the scene immediately after monday's attack, filmed from a dashboard—mounted camera. a few seconds earlier, this is what happened. we have slowed the footage. from the left comes the lorry at speed, heading straight for the christmas market. and this is anis amri, the man police say was driving it, filming himself humming nonchala ntly in berlin. the video posted to his facebook page in september. now, the 24—year—old tunisian is europe's most—wanted man. police first found his id documents in the cab of the lorry, now tests have shown his fingerprints on the doo

anis amri, the target of the manhunt. police are certain he was behind the wheel of the tractor-trailer. they say they found amri's fingerprints inside the truck and on the door of the truck. we have dash cam footage that shows the fatal moment that the truck plowed into the arcade. you see it on the left side of the screen. a few minutes later, shoppers run for their lives. we learned more about amri's ties to the terror network in germany. let's bring you the latest with journalist chris burns live in berlin. chris, there must be a sense that amri is still in germany. they are banging down doors. >> reporter: they are, miguel. they are busting down doors to look for anis amri across germany and probably beyond germany. a search yesterday in denmark that turned up nothing. hundreds of police active on this. at the same time, we're looking at documents. take a look at the headline. this is the perfect sense of irony the berliners have. showing the gaps between the concrete blocks here behind me at the market, but also tal

we are told that anis amri had sent his nephew money so he could come and join him in germany. know is whether there is a link between these three people arrested in tunisia and the specific attack on the berlin christmas market. we are still waiting to see whether that is the case. we have also heard from officials in tunis saying there has so far been no request by germany for these three people to be extradited. the expectation is they would stay in tunisia for now, but that official said they were keen to cooperate with german authorities. and factor at this stage is how big a cell may be that had some sort of connection with anis amri? certainly, one of the focuses of the german investigation at the moment is whether or not anis amri had help us is whether or not anis amri had help us here in germany, whether he had helpers in italy, which is of course where he was shot dead by a police officer in milan yesterday. was there a wider circle here in europe? we don't know what the moment whether these three people who have been arrested in tunisia had anything to do with this

> according to our findings, we can state beyond the shadow of a doubt that the man shot dead is anis amrie suspect of the berlin attack. reporter: amri was the most wanted man as he was identified of the chief -- as the chief suspect in one of the most popular christmas markets. the italian prime minister notified angela merkel immediately, and he praised the work of italian police. >> this development underscores how important it is to have tighter controls and different security forces working together. it shows us how vital it is to expand international cooperation. reporter: anis amri left tunisia for italy in 2011. on this island, he was reported for violent behavior. then he sent a refugee -- set a refugee center on fire and served a four years prison sentence. the italian government has called for continued vigilance, saying the threat of further attacks should not be underestimated. brian: before this attack, he pledged allegiance to the islamic state. that video was released by a news agency linked to i.s. for he was killed. this was a self video, recorded weeks ago on berlin's b

the prime suspect, 24—year—old anis amri, is being hunted across europe.mes and nationalities, making it easierfor him to slip away. this video of anis amri, which hasjust emerged, shows he was in berlin in september. early this morning, police commandos trying to track him down and apartments here. apparently they thought they might find him here, but to no avail. they are playing catch up. the only named him as a suspect yesterday, three days after the attack. a second raid this morning at this migrant centre in north—western germany also revealed little. eyes—mac had briefly stayed here when it first arrived in germany last year, but is now long gone. —— anis amri had stayed. while he remains elusive, more is being revealed about what he has done since he left tunisia. he moved to italy where he was jailed for arson at school. last year he entered germany, where his claim asylum was rejected. the authorities could not support him because they did not have the right paperwork. yet the german intelligence agencies knew he had links to an islamist network.

what is interest the about anis amri is he wa nted interest the about anis amri is he wanted to survive to me shows he wa nted fled the scene. that to me shows he wanted to survive and build some sort of status with isis as he got credit with the attack. it was necessarily a help or it is not necessarily a help or it is not necessarily help when police get information from the public that is misleading which may have happened after this attack was make the pakistani that was detained allowed any summary to have a head start. they were hoping he makes a mistake when he thinks the heat is off of him. we do not know yet why or whether he took advantage of this or police got different information. difficult to have confidence if we know that police are having such trouble tracking possible suspects. very difficult to know what they can do. they had been under surveillance and they dropped the surveillance. did it become too difficult with these different aliases? the way he was moving about? 0r these different aliases? the way he was moving about? or was it a manpower issue? resellers issue

anis amri left his family, travelling illegally to italy, in 2011. years in jail for violence and theft, but without a passport he couldn't be deported to tunisia. so, last year, he moved to kleve in germany. denied asylum, once again he wasn't deported. security services feared he was trying to get automatic weapons for an attack. but, with no new evidence, surveillance of him was halted in september. so there are serious questions. should the authorities have taken the threat posed by anis amri more seriously? but, for most germans, as the markets reopen here, with new security barriers, criticisms of the police are less important than how they respond. so getting breitscheidplatz up and running today was symbolic for berlin. we have to respond to the terrorism, that we don't care, we're going to open, we are not scared. because it's exactly what they want. the crowds were thinner than usual, but wanted to show they wouldn't be cowed.
