Response to accusations that turkey has given support for the Islamic State. Welcome to the program. Did the main suspect in the berlin truck attack have an accomplice in act oh German Authorities have detained a tunisian man. They say he had dinner the night before the attack. They want to find out if he knew about the plans or perhaps even helped him. They believe he may have been aware of his plan and possibly hated him. We think the suspect in question had known each other for a year. The day before the truck attack. We believe he may have known about the attack in advance but we can be absolutely certain of this. Cant be absolutely certain of this. We cant obtain an arrest warrant related to the attack. Berlin police are holding him in custody on grounds of welfare fraud. Based on a reconstruction of the root, investigators believe he shot the polish transport driver around 7 30 p. M. In the evening, half an hour before he plowed into the Christmas Market on december 19. A short time later, he was filmed by a video camera. They suggest he knew he was being filmed. The church to the camera and raised his forefinger in the salute. It is a gesture commonly used by militants in the socalled Islamic State. Any questions or including have the attacker was willing to cross as many borders as he did in his escape to italy despite the europewide manhunt and why German Authorities didnt have him under surveillance even though he was listed as an islamist threat. Officials believe he had many connections. They are trying to determine if he had actual helpers. Host during the criminal proceedings, thank you for being with us. We have the take a look at what happens to the evidence. We have phones and information about this person. My colleagues just work on it to see how valid this evidence is. They are taken into custody by supporting a terrorist act. They faced criticism in the aftermath of the berlin attack. They arrested the suspect and failed to catch them for several days. Were mistakes made or is this routine procedure . We had to take a look at what happens. Was it actually a mistake . We have a witness that informed the Police Officer that weve seen this person that came from the truck and is escaping. Later on, we realize hes not the suspect and where could he be . It is unseen. Make sure that everybody is secure in this area. We cannot completely cover up train stations, airports, everything. Host what are police doing to make germans safe . Is increased presence at train stations enough . The cant guarantee 100 security. Thats in the beginning. But what we can do, we can cover of the areas with the concrete blocks. And he used a truck. That in the background is fairly good because it cant do as other terrorists want to do. They put forward a pretty radical plan to centralize the Security Apparatus and make it a more federal system. What do think of that from the Police Perspective . Thats what we demanded that we need one line of work. One quality of work throughout germany. The state attorney has to be involved. The way we work those cases has to be the same. Belgium has be the same. Munich has to be the same. We have the start in germany. They do their own thing. But we need, in those cases, we needed it centralized. Host had the munich security conference, europe and Something Like the fbi. A centralized system across national borders. We just need to take some parts out of the systems into the federal guidance. This needs to be taken a close look in the future. How many offices can be put on the spot instead of looking around where you can draw together. It needs to have a structure throughout the republic.
