At the university. David, thank you very much for taking the time to talk with us this evening. We are hearing all of these headlines about a bleak week in germany, the summer of anxiety in europe. What is your read on this surge of attacks in germany and france . David the criticisms i am hearing, they are unconvinced that the Bavarian Police that that unit, not just in germany, but with their european neighbors, the france, u. K. , belgium, the other states in the European Union. They will be helping on this. Media outlets i was listening to, we are not looking at highly organized terrorist cells like we saw in november in france and in belgium in march. You are looking at mainly individuals who are inspired by what they are seeing and hearing, and they are acting alone, and groups like the islamic state, like the 17yearold boy on the train, claiming responsibility for it. It is very, very difficult to try to pick up these individuals who are not really known. Brent you are describing their, david, these copycat attacks, and we hear all of the time that the security and police forces, they are being trained to deal with these that of with the threat of islamic state. It sounds like what youre saying is they need to be prepared for things that we cannot be prepared for. David yes. If you look around many states in the u. K. , it was set at mi five months ago, it is virtually impossible to stop every kind of attack, like the one in nice. It is very difficult if they are not in the system. And today with the attack in france, father hamel, could be different, because one of the individuals was known to the police. But again, you look at the task. The security and police cooperation, and one problem with france is the bureaucracy with the security services. Brent what does that mean . What does that mean, david, in terms of moving forward, because you know that people all across europe are going to demand that the governments governments do something about what is becoming a daily attack in europe . What can be done . David there is a more positive side. They have counterterrorism. Their idea is to beef up intelligence sharing, and we saw that at the european football championships. The treaty of lisbon. Sharing. Strangely enough, france was one of those who did not want to do it, and they have to get together and start looking at increasing cooperation, increasing intelligence sharing. It also, and more flexible strategy at the precriminal stage, trying to identify individuals who are prone to violent extremism. It is one way forward to try to identify these individuals before they take part in criminal activity. Obviously, in the meantime, increasing uniform presence. Brent all right, david, in liverpool, we appreciate it. Thank you for your insight. By any measure, it has been a harrowing few weeks, from the truck driver who barreled down the people in france to munich, and then the bombing in southern germany, and now the murder of a Catholic Priest in his own church. The world is taking notice. Reporter the initial shock is over after the four deadly attacks, and the media are now focusing on the political impact of all of this, but what about International Media outlets . How have they been in germany . In france, for example, they looked at the german reluctance to play a role in the middle east is one has to look that germany, with its economic power, does not project itself as the role of simple observer in the fight against international terrorism, writes one newspaper. And then there is the Angela Merkel refugee policy, and there is a high gary a newspaper. The whole of western europe has to face the reality that the idea of a Multicultural Society has failed. Reporter not only did the Media Outlets analyze what happened in germany last week, from australia to argentina, from chile to china, Media Outlets analyze the fear that many germans have felt him a but also the impact this could have on Angela Merkel, and there was also criticism, like, for example, what the Washington Post wrote. How do they allow in thousands of Asylum Seekers without a firm plan for managing the potential circumstances . Most paint a gloomy picture.

I sincerely pray for peace, for the souls of those killed, and extend condolences for the brief families, as well as those wounded. Reporter the suspect turned himself in at this Police Station with the murder weapons after the attack. Police say he has confessed. The murder is not yet known the motive is not yet known, but he wrote a letter. He had been involuntarily committed to a hospital earlier this year, amid fears he was a threat to others.
