germany has been spared so far, but there have been attempts to terror attacks in germany. very often people think that if a country applies a different policy, for example, the united states or france in the middle east region keeps a lower profile like germany, it will be spared from these attacks because it will be spared from, let's say, this vindictive attitude of terrorist organizations like the islamic state or al qaeda or whatever. we see we don't know if this was such a terror attack yet, but the pattern looks very much like it. we know whatever policies these countries apply, it doesn't spare them from the terror and violence from these organizations. it's irrelevant what kind of policies the countries applies. anchor: everybody is fair game? >> absolutely, absolutely. we should bear in mind that the jihadist ideology that has been commended, the spokesperson of the so-called islamic state has recommended months ago that people who cannot find weapons to fire at the evil west can use anything as a weapon, be it cars or be it tools or whatever. the west can be hit

deep inside east germany of the 110 miles inside east germany is berlin which just like germany itself is divided into two halves. it's a tiny island of democracy and freedom completely encircled by the communist territory. the east becomes a state based on the communist authoritarianism, the one-party communist dictatorship based on bottled by the soviet union and for state security. it basically forces the population into submission through fear and intimidation. on the other side, it is ministered by the nato allies and it is based on democracy and freedom. as they begin to develop the west, the soviets struck the east. everything from railroad tracks to the farm machinery, entire cities and towns, full factors to be victories are disassembled. food is to be turned in and of divided equally among the people which is either slow to happen or doesn't happen at all. they confiscate private land, private property, and the soviets and the communists oppose the rules that essentially amounts to conform. words against the regime are not enough to have anyone interrogated or imprisoned so m

germany,history of where you had east germany, where people could not go out of the country, i think it is not ok that turkey would develop to east germany and try to bring people away from leaving the country. if they want to leave, they leave. erdogan is only remembering that , but tot possible socialize the cost on turkey. melinda: what is your solution? if you could advise the e.u. right now -- remzi: advice for the e.u. would be, try to work together with the people who know the region, who have been there for hundreds of years, for nearly 1000 years, and don't try to solve the problems around this on your own way by supporting the pkk, by supporting strange people, because this will destabilize turkey and a destabilized turkey, even to germans who don't like turks, i see you have to stabilize it. 20 million will come. melinda: are we likely to see increasing divergence? will things get worse before they get better? michael: i see this increasing divergence before the referendum. my hope is that after erdogan has got his presidency, then the new constitution, he will relax a bit

that was a major holiday in germany. this was big in germany. furthermore, it was his 50th birthday. nothing could be allowed to get in the way of that. what happened was by saying he was going to answer but it would take about 10 days, suddenly everybody found themselves speculating what hitler was going to say. he had the state back again. an american newspaper got it exactly right. the milwaukee journal wrote the head of the greatest democracy of the world has put up to hitler the question of war and peace. the world is to have 10 days guessing what the answer will be. for wheel orwell, president roosevelt has given adolf hitler the spotlight of history. for a couple days, roosevelt had held centerstage. now, everybody throughout the world was wondering what was hitler going to say. he had a lot of help. in the united states, you had a variety of people giving him advice. hugh johnson was a syndicated correspondent, widely publicized. he actually gave hitler advice. the german embassy in washington reported they were getting a flood of commen

half of the country that becomes east germany and insight east germany, 110 miles inside east germany is berlin, just like germany itself is divided into two have, berlin run by western allies, east berlin by the soviets, with berlin is essentially a tiny island of democracy and freedom completely encircled by communist territory. the east becomes a police state based on communist authoritarianism, a communist dictatorship based on the soviet union and the ministry for state security, secret police, on the kgb, forces the population into submission. on the other side administered by nato allies, based on democracy and freedom. as the marshall begins to develop the west the soviets stripped the east. everything from railroad tracks to farm machinery to toilets, even doorknobs. entire cities and towns are gutted, factories dismantled to be reassembled in the soviet union. food is to be turned in and divided equally among people which is slow to happen or doesn't happen at all. they confiscate private property and germans impose rules which amount to conform or you are an enemy of the st

the soviets occupied eastern half that becomes east germany and deep inside east germany 110 aisles in berlin. west berlin by the western allies in the soviet period west berlin is essentially a tiny island of democracy and freedom by communist territory. it used against the police database and communist authoritarianism, and modeled on the soviet union and state security known as the secret police enforces the population for fear and intimidation. on the other side, the west is administered by nato allies and is based on democracy and freedom. the soviets struck the east. everything from railroad tax to farm machinery to toilets, even doorknobs. entire cities and towns are guided. factories were dismantled to be reassembled in the soviet union. food is to be turned in and divided equally among people which is either slow to happen or doesn't happen at all. the communist authorities escape private land, private property and communist, germans opposed rolls which amounts to the enemy of the state. words against the regime to have anyone interrogated or imprisoned. by mothers village,

tonight, there is a new phase for germany's most wanted man. police across germany and europe hunting for a tunisian in connection with the deadly drug attack. federal prosecutors it issued a europe wide arrest or and for 24-year-old anees amri, warning he could be armed and dangerous. his paper was found inside the truck that plowed into a christmas market monday night. we will go live for the manhunt. dw news starts right now. brent: it is good to have you with us. tonight, good authorities have stopped the berlin truck attack? this has been asked. it has been revealed the tunisian suspect was already under investigation for preparing a serious act of violence against the state, a terrorist attack. prosecutors have now issued a zero-wide arrest warrant for 24-year-old anis amri, warning he could be armed and dangerous. his quest for asylum had been denied, and he was due for deportation. the manhunt began after his papers were found inside the truck that smashed into a berlin christmas market on monday, killing 12 and injuring almost 50. medi

also, i have the benefit of having lived in east germany and west germany. and the thing is that west germany did go down that route and the east germans didn't. so it was also to do with the leadership, loss to do with the fact that it was western democracies that took over and built up germany so that the institutions and so on, including education, became important in the country itself in the west and so that you have the chance with the 1968 generation to question their parents and grandparents. and this wasn't just a question of leadership. it was also a grassroots movement. >> yes. >> it was also a reaction of a generation that wanted to question. and in the end, nothing like that happened in east germany because the system wasn't in place that allowed such questioning. and so, when the wall collapsed, there were a great many people in east germany who didn't understand some of the things that west germans simply took for granted in terms of cultural, historical norms that had become very gradually into place into west germany. >> yes, i would agree t

germany is europe's centre of gravity now. pianos from this factory sell around the world because they are among the best in the world, and that is germany's economic strength. the pursuit of unity in europe has been germany's way of turning the page on its own dark past. the eu has been germany's act of contrition and of redemption. the pianist saleem ashkar is a palestinian, now settled in berlin. what i do see is a country here that has been traumatised by its past, and as a result has become extremely thoughtful about politics. in a way, germany has used its traumatic past for the good. and it is now a very — what do we say in german, very awakened. it's not sleepwalking anywhere, or careful, very careful of sleepwalking. 2016 has given germany a new responsibility, one it did not seek — how to lead in europe without rousing the ghosts of german domination in europe. germans are incredibly neurotic about world leadership, 01’ even about european leadership. they don't like to think of themselves really having a forei

he could be in germany, in europe. the authorities have made it very clear that the warrant extends to the whole of the passport-free schengen zone. at the same time, we are getting a war clear picture of his background. there are reports he spent some time in prison in italy. he has a history of violence. he may have been arrested at least once in germany. a lot of questions for the authorities. why was he not stopped the four he became the main suspect in this investigation? long before he was identified as the main suspect? yesterday the police arrested an innocent man and spent many hours before they released him. valuable time in which amri gained a valuable head start. an overwhelming sense of grief in berlin in germany. there is anger, frustration, and unease. you aremong the germans talking to, are you hearing much criticism of angela merkel and her refugee policy? this is an interesting question. tonight in berlin, the anti-immigrant party who has been critical of merkel's refugee party held a protest. they bl

before moving to germany. presumably had a number of contact there who could help him, as well. does not seem to be an intelligence-led shootout. they just got lucky, it seems that routine patrol last night that he decided instead of handing his identity papers over to go off in a blaze of glory by attacking italian police. fortunately, the italian police were able to return fire and to take him out. this removes the threat from

consequently, we like germany. guy: just germany? yogi: as far as we're concerned, all of europe looks ok. volatility around italian banks is a can earn. french elections coming in april is a concern. but the weaker euro benefits germany more than any other country. guy: how week do you expect the euro to come? yogi: it is already 22% undervalued versus the dollar. so we cannot see it weakening much further. guy: you do not believe the parity calls? isi: if it happens, it momentum and sentiment driven, not fundamentals driven. i am not going to say it cannot happen, won't happen. exactly.at traders -- but from a fundamental perspective, we should not be down to these sorts of levels. the big beneficiary of this, germany. remember, valuations in germany are quite attractive relative to the rest of the world. it is a good place to park your money for equity exposure in the run-up to 2017 and beyond. guy: yogi, thanks for your time thus far. dewan is going to stay with us. a manhunt is underway in switzerland after an attack on an islam

germany has been so welcoming of refugees. you know, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. germany not involved in the fight against isis, at least directly inside syria. so why, then, would isis want to attack germany? >> well, it's not particularly to do with germany, as the point michael was making, they want to create, they want to foment this idea of a big war between islam and the west. and germany goes against that narrative by saying, we welcome muslims, we welcome refugees. and that really doesn't work with the isis narrative. they need the narrative to be us against them. and so if they can take down a liberal champion like angela merkel, if they can in so doing, if they can empower the right-wing forces in germany that are anti-muslim, just as we've seen forces like that in -- all over western europe, that would suit them very well. they could go back and say, look, we told you all along, you cannot trust the west, you cannot trust these europeans. they may talk about welcoming you, but in real, the

, but also because of the stasi in east germany. they don't like cctv cameras. there are very strong privacy laws there. hence german newspapers, until the last minute, we re newspapers, until the last minute, were not able to show the full picture that you are seeing here of anis amri. his eyes were blacked out. and when they arrest somebody, the surname is usuallyjust an initial. there are other issues as well which people are talking about today, which is that of schengen, the passport free, borderless europe, a wonderful idea in theory. u nfortu nately, europe, a wonderful idea in theory. unfortunately, it is being exploited by terrorists and people trying to bring weapons in. we have already seen this with the bataclan attacks. they were planned from brussels and executed in paris last november. so the fact that this man was able to cross easily, three countries, from germany to france from france to the italian border and then to turin and then to milan. but on the other hand,it then to milan. but on the other hand, it was ext

and i think we're going to see this here in germany. one of the things that we learned here in the united states since 9/11 is that, when you get good information sharing between local, state and federal intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies, is the best way to protect the homeland. >> that you're more likely to catch someone there. i wonder, as a cia officer for many years, can you take us behind the scenes a little bit. just how difficult it is to track and to keep an eye on potential attackers. >> the volume of information that our intelligence services have to manage is vast. and we have -- if people knew the size of our actual intelligence agencies, they would be pretty shocked at how small it is and how they really do punch above their weight. then, when you deal with a permissive environment like europe where it's easy to move back and force across international boundaries, that further complicates the effort. what's going on right now is that our intelligence agencies are working as closely as we can with the german

an attack could happen any time in germany. at the time, there were a lwa ys germany. at the time, there were always success. in her row was that tried to attack the country. and they were quite successful until two nights ago. we in a way ran out of luck there. are we doing enough? obviously not enough. but it's not that germany was unprepared for this. there were more police forces on the street for quite some time, just if you take a look at the british embassy in berlin. there is more protection. but there are only so more protection. but there are only so many people in the police force. finally, i refer to the political implications. we don't know quite how this current hunt is going to turn out, all the details are. based on what we do know, i suspect it may mean that angela merkel, the chancellor, once again comes under pressure. if it turns out that it was actually the guy from tunisia, and he came in as a refugee, it will certainly not help her with her position. on the other hand, i think most people in germany have

he arrived in germany in july of 2015 and very soon after arri arriving in germany, he came on radar screen as somebody they believed was dangerous, radicalized, somebody part of an isis recruiting network. he was very close to one of the lead i leading people in that network. all of these details are significant because these ties to these -- the recruitment network individuals in germany suggest that there may be people there who can offer him perhaps a safe house, a hiding place, or even maybe able to smuggle him out of the country. it may be quite difficult, given all these details we've been given, especially when you think back to the paris attacks and especially when salah abdeslam went to ground in brussels and was protected and hidden by the network there for five, six months or so. >> michael weiss, it seems to many people they look at the various contacts that german authorities had with the suspect, and they think how did they not get on to this guy. and yet it was interesting, peter bergen, our terrorist analyst, said it's strange that someone would do something like thi

linda: they were listening last march when the interior minister of north germany -- of germany traveled to north africa and apparently they agreed that such deportations would occur in a much more expeditious and efficient manner than they had before that. in addition, germany has a security agreement with tunisia whereby it provides tunisia with material, support for training security to -- and also for supporting the administration of complicated matters like repatriation. both of those reasons, germany does feel it has leverage to demand tunisia now deliver on its promise to get such repatriation cases processed more quickly. the fact is there were two attempts to deport him from italy and germany. both failed because he was lacking the proper papers and passport. tunisia did deliver papers for him, but too late, this week. brian: that will be part of the -- the investigation expanding this week. angela merkel is ordering a comprehensive investigation. what can we expect? linda: over 100 officials are working on reconstructcting this case exactly to find out where were their gaps? ho

the mood is shifting in germany. the major political parties all seem to agree for the need for quicker security -- rather, better security and quicker deportation for failed asylum-seekers. but there's still plenty disagreement as to how to best prevent attacks like this in the future. reporter: security measures in brlin have been stepped up. at christmas markets you can now see concrete barriers and an increased police presence. what this is still not enough for the conservatives in germany. they are demanding a rework of immigration and security policies. >> unfortunately, we cannot agree on everything having to do with the transit centers and they have not yet signed off. it is also very important we include tunisia, algeria and morocco in the list of safe countries of origin. reporter: the social democrats agree. but on other points they are accusing the current government of being too slow. >> of course we will be discussing how we should react to this attack. we will intensify deportation measures. reporter:

that numberjust in germany. is it possible also that there is too much focus on the threat of a massive big scale attack and not enough on these relatively low level, low—tech arbitrary attacks which can cause just as much terror? when there is an individual willie to keel and being killed in the process it is very difficult to stop. —— willing to keel. what is interest the about anis amri is he wa nted interest the about anis amri is he wanted to survive the attack, he fled the scene. that 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

germany has been so welcoming of refugees. you know, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. germany not involved in the fight against isis, at least directly inside syria. so why, then, would isis want to attack germany? >> well, it's not particularly to do with germany, as the point michael was making, they want to create, they want to foment this idea of a big war between islam and the west. and germany goes against that narrative by saying, we welcome muslims, we welcome refugees. and that really doesn't work with the isis narrative. they need the narrative to be us against them. and so if they can take down a

he arrived in germany last year and was refused asylu m germany last year and was refused asylum but granted temporary leave to stay. the security services admit he was known to them are considered a threat because of his links to one of germany's most notorious to islamist networks. he will be hard to find. he used six different names and three nationalities. translation: this person attracted the attention of several security services in germany through his contact with a radical islamists. the hijacked lorries yielding grim evidence. documents leading to the suspect and dna. it's thought anis amri fought with the man should have been behind the wheel before shooting him dead. but it was 2a hours before police identified him asa hours before police identified him as a suspect. first they arrested and released an innocent man, giving anis amri a vital start. today, flowers for the dead, prayers for the injured. the german foreign minister was joined the injured. the german foreign minister wasjoined at the injured. the german foreign minister was joined at the scene of the attack by

when it was two countries, east germany and west germany, the east germany and west germany, the east germany and west germany, the east german stasi spied on everybody. and angela merkel herself grew up in east germany. so there is an aversion to that. this makes it very ha rd to an aversion to that. this makes it very hard to follow the movements of this man. overhearing britain, which is farfrom this man. overhearing britain, which is far from perfect, this man. overhearing britain, which is farfrom perfect, but this man. overhearing britain, which is far from perfect, but there this man. overhearing britain, which is farfrom perfect, but there is this man. overhearing britain, which is far from perfect, but there is a close co—operation between the police and m15, the intelligence agency. so they constantly share information, working hand in glove, agreeing on the priorities of. if you're going to actually observe somebody around the clock, it's a very labour—intensive thing. you've got to swap people, swap watches, you can't have the same person saying, he is moving now. you'

germany is polarised on this matter. there are some here who are colin berry strongly for border controls to be re—establish. —— calling are very strongly. 0thers say we have to preserve freedoms. it is viewed as one of the big achievements of the european union. it has to be remembered that while angela merkel is has a reputation of being the most pro—refugee leader in europe, she's not entirely open border either. the the border between austria and germany is seen border controls and so, there are questions here. it's about... according to supporters of angela merkel, it's about trying to fine the balance between preserving the liberties and the freedom of movement and also security and that isa movement and also security and that is a debate that is very complicated, very difficult and is likely to go on. when they talk about that debate, you talk about the attachment in germany to be showing in stone. as there are a growing understanding in germany that they will have to look at things like security cameras i

you can't take germany out of germany. and there are reasons for rules. and surveillance of the east germany and there are actual laws that prohibit real time ccb in germany. there is a party that exists to prohibit surveillance in germany. so there will be changes. no question about it. because there is has been questioning lately to get more cameras. i think the amazing thing about what happened this week is there is no iphones either. boston was a lot of iphones and private phones. a lot of the videos you just showed were public surveillance cameras. i find it remarkable that we have no real time or public sector or citizens of picture of someone getting out of truck. >> it is not clear they don't exist. the german authorities initially asked people not to release them. they wanted people to go to the investigators. so we don't know and that is interesting. because you would think they would want the public to be helping with whatever information they have. paul, do you get the sense that this environment that has been existed in germany is now changin

i'll mention first the family in germany. throughout the case and in the immediate period after the war began and he was in hiding in california, he was extremely worried about reprisals, particularly when his fame came out at the trial, but particularly concerned about reprisals against his family. he had had a mother who was still alive and two siblings -- two brothers and a sister. he was -- so he didn't know what happened to them for -- until '45, so from 1941 to 1945 he had no idea whether his mother or any of his family had suffered because of what he had done. they didn't in the end. his mother survived. a brother died, but it was in a car accident, so he was very relieved that there wasn't any reprisals against his family. his wife was with him throughout the case, and in the beginning of the case, the fbi said don't tell her what you're doing. obviously that didn't last very long, and she was there throughout by his side. they were living -- at a certain point -- in the beginning of the case he lived with his fbi han

germany is our home. we love germany, we want to live here. berlin is our city, and we won't allow our life to be threatened. it is still not known who crashed this lorry, or where they are. this was the immediate aftermath. 12 people were killed, dozens more injured, when the christmas market was attacked on monday evening. fabrizia di lorenzo's family in italy fear she may be one of those who died. in italy fear she may be the lorry itself is key to the investigation. it appears it was hijacked. it's owned by a polish man. he said his cousin, lukasz urban, should have been at the wheel. he was found shot dead in the passenger seat. police had arrested a man from pakistan who came to germany to seek asylum earlier this year. he was released without charge. the so—called islamic state group claimed the attack, but the person or people behind it are still at large. the director of the bnd, the german security service, warned only two or three weeks' ago that the christmas markets would be a likely target, and it was necessary to be vigilant,

have a support network in germany? there's also a suspicion may not be alone. >> my hunch, only a hunch but i'm at cnn to give you my hunches. my hunch is that this isn't one person. one person gets their own truck or car. several people would be needed to overpower a driver, stop him somewhere, find a way to get it and get it on the first time. because we don't hear any other drivers saying somebody tried to hijack me. got it the first time. i'm guessing several people involved in this. whatever country you see this happening in, where the truck was taken over, i would start looking there. that's where your cell -- at least most likely -- is. >> we know there are jihady cells in brussels and other countries, is there to the same degree in germany. >> i don't want make a political statement but wherever you get large amounts of refugees that are unvetted going to bring in at least a percentage of people who are as radicalizes and cellular and organized as people in brussel. i'm not advocating against letting people in

as germany's humanitarian position on accepting people fleeing war, coming into germany. the country really is divided about that. whether this has a political effect, particularly coming up next year's elections. if it turns out the perpetrator is not an asylum seeker, it really would have nothing to do with mrs merkel‘s policy on refugees. much more on that story in a few minutes, now time for the sport. ahead, twice went —— wimbledon champion petra kliba the twice wimbledon champion petra kvitova is undergoing potentially career—saving surgery, after a knife attack this morning. will alastair cook resign after england's humbling in india. jamie vardy‘s appeal against the red card and suspension is dismissed. the twice wimbledon champion petra kvitova is undergoing potentially career—saving surgery, after a knife attack this morning. the world number 11 says she's ‘fortunate to be alive' after the attack during a burglary at her home in the czech republic. the full extent of the damage will not be clear until kvitova emerges from surgery. what do we know a

the suspect had entered germany on the sist suspect had entered germany on the 31st of december last year and arrived in berlin in february. so far, he said that the authorities have no knowledge of claim of responsibility from the islamic state group. jeremy's top security official has said that authorities have no doubt that the attack was an intentional attack. —— germany's top security official. 12 people killed in the incident and 48 injured, 18 of them seriously. the man arrested has denied in his questioning by police so far that he was involved. we will hear police next from the news c0 nfe re nce we will hear police next from the news conference but unfortunately we have some sound issues. we hope those issues are fixed. we will keep you updated with developments as we hear them. this is the latest police briefing. the latest from the police is that they do have a suspect in custody, but he has denied that he was involved. we are still struggling to resolve the issues with the news conference. after work, it was 6:30pm, we went to the christmas market. we were having a c

germany hosts around 1500 christmas markets every year. an attractive proposition for anyone wanting to cause mayhem and cause problems at this time of year. just to reiterate once again for those of you joining us and getting this breaking news and it is that a lorry has left the road in a busy pa rt lorry has left the road in a busy part of west berlin, deliberately leaving the road, ploughing into a very busy christmas market by the side of the road. nine people have been killed so far. at least 50 have been killed so far. at least 50 have been injured. eyewitnesses suggesting that this vehicle was travelling at something like a0 miles per hour. there were two people, we think inside the cab. one man made off on foot, who has now been arrested according to german police, who are speaking to local media. the other person who was inside the vehicle at the time, he a p pa re ntly inside the vehicle at the time, he apparently has died at the scene. these are the latest pictures that we have from berlin. it is extraordinary how i and seeing

you have to involve germany and some way or another. the public opinion switches along with germany's new role in this scheme of things. an element ofis appeasement. for argument does persist decades in some schools. it is interesting, part of the reason there's a shift is because we do such a good job of emasculating their military. we do a good job advertising that. it is about a 10-year process to add germany back into the fault. the germans do a great pr job, a kinder, gentler germany, that sort of thing. it is interesting we almost do too good of a job. i had a conversation with a young captain who served in the northern part of afghanistan. they were not overly capable. he said, you know there's german guys are so incompetent. why can't i get some of those ss guys they talked about? i had a long talk with him about some of the baggage. we would have been more successful with demilitarize been more we have successful with the militarizing them than we thought we would ever be. question: what extent do you feel this is all inevitabl
