i would be here the big table now is roughly able song a terrorism expert with a german institut for international and security fears what feels good to see you again so what are investigators what are they doing to determine whether or not this was terrorism because they're saying it probably wasn't well there we need turning every stone in the person's past i mean there's been searches of his apartment and they took all his devices they probably trail for all his communications now to see where there is any any evidence that he's been in touch with the radical elements but so far we know there hasn't been any indication so far i mean what we do know tonight is that the police say that the suspect does have a criminal record but i mean isn't this really a big leap to say that someone a former refugee who has a criminal record in this country could possibly be a terrorist that's making a big jump isn't it well we've seen in recent years in general that there has been a growing number of petty criminals who turn to terroristic groups or terroristic activities to somehow find a new pur

with the german institute for international and security affairs as always we appreciate you coming in sharing your insights thank you. in what simberg a european interior minister's they're making a fresh attempt to break an impasse over migration they want more european union countries to sign of or a plan to more evenly distribute refugees throughout the e.u. europe is currently seeing a rise in arrivals via the mediterranean in previous efforts to resettle them would have led to deep divisions within europe. well this summit is happening against the backdrop of warnings about another huge wave of migrants reaching europe via turkey largely due to the fighting in northern syria and the turmoil in iraq germany's interior minister horst says that he fears the numbers could be even larger than what we saw in 2015 but sentiment has changed here in germany since the country began welcoming over a 1000000 refugees that year. so he's really fled syria for bolin in 2015 in almost half a decade his life has changed dramatically and the country here arrived in with it . beginning with michael

we're here now in the studio with me is rafi obo song a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international and security affairs it's good to see you again you know we were we were talking there it sounds like what we saw today in holland was an attempt to be a copy of a copycat crime if you will of what we saw in christ church earlier this year do you agree well that's pretty obvious i mean thank goodness the perpetrator wasn't as well prepared in armed and effective as what happened in christchurch and as we also just heard authorities think fully also better now to stop the spread of such material. but yes it's still possible and this person so far seems to have acted on this is very difficult to prevent we heard from the interior minister here in germany tonight that this was indeed an anti-semitic attack what does that tell us then about the strings of the far right the neo nazi scene in germany. well unfortunately over the last 4 or 5 years we've seen in steady increase and. readiness to use violence and the right wing extremists even germany which is also being alwa

joining me here the big table now is rafi obo song a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international in security affairs for feels good to see you again we heard you know karl said that we heard earlier tonight from a security analyst another security analyst that this attack today had many of the hallmarks of the christ church massacre that we saw earlier this year in new zealand do you think we are talking about a gunman who was planning on carrying out a copycat crime when obviously looks like it i mean he was just the same way and thank goodness his video hasn't been as available as in the christ church right situation and actually authorities have to take care in the interim period that this couldn't repeat in the same way but obviously this was the ambition of the guy who did this and we heard from horst is a home for the interior minister of germany he's confirmed that this was an anti-semitic attack and people will be asking what does that mean then about the far right seen in this country the neo nazi scene in this country are held strong is it well the off

questions that people are asking this change the amount of focus that german media that german government institutions that can german security forces are focusing on this issue have changed so all of that affects the numbers of makes it very hard to see how much of a problem is this but that said there is definitely much more attention being put on not only anti-semitism but far right violence against all kinds of groups and minorities and there's a lot more feeling that there's something there something a riot here in german society they're very much needs to be dealt with i mean. last week we have there were a long report coming out about all the intelligence and law enforcement failures that allowed the national socialist underground to go on a murder spree for almost a decade in the early 2000 so that's just one example of many many many that germany is grappling with i'm dealing with right wing extremism the right political correspondent william no actually crossed thanks for keeping your eye on it all. well to the middle east now and today's other top story takesh forces have carried out ground

here at the big table with me now is rafi elbows on a security and terrorism analyst with the german institute for international and security affairs been to a busy day what do we know when we look at this entire semitic attack what does it tell us about the far right neo nazi scene in germany. well it shows that there has been a rising readiness to use violence and there is of course a long history of right wing extremism in this country and also right wing terrorism going right back to the 180 s. nonetheless the last 34 years have see the general increase in the number of violence of different kinds and this is unfortunate really a surprise that what's happened but germany one has to say is somewhat better prepared than some other countries so why is it why is that well because of our history i mean it's not to say that the authorities have done everything right but if you look at you know the u.s. of the u.k. they just this summer the clear that right on terrorism is suddenly it's a teaching threat i mean this is not what we have here in germany what we need in germany is yes more attention
