The inventor and submarine is is charged with her murder. And covering up the confederacy. Charlottesville dumps a monument of robert e. Lee. Brent i am brent goff. It is good to have you with us. As the dust settles after last weeks terror attacks in catalonia, investigators in spain and other european cities are beginning to connect the dots in an investigation that has broader implications across europe. Some of the catalonian cell visited paris before the attacks leading authorities to investigate whether they are part of a larger islamist network. Reporter these are the remains of the bomb making facility on the coast south of barcelona. It is unclear how the group was able to transport large group of quantities large chemicals undetected. Had an accidental explosion not destroy the facility the attacks likely would have been much more deadly. Most of the members of the terrorist cell lived in the spanish town of report the men believed to have radicalized the assailants, the imam, had lived for a short time in belgium. Links have also been revealed in switzerland and france. A car used in the attacks had been in paris just easy for and that two to three of the assailants had stayed overnight in a hotel in a paris suburb. The audi a3 vehicle used by the terrorists was in france, specifically in the paris region on the 11th and 12th of august 2017. We are coordinating with spanish authorities to determine the exact reasons why the short trip of todays took place. Two days took place. And if the terrorists were in contact with other persons in our territory. Reporter spain claims the cell has been you eradicated, that the evidence points to a wider European Network that may have helped. Three suspected surviving members are in custody facing murder and terrorism charges. One has been freed conditionally. Brent for more on this im joined here by a counterterrorism advisor and ceo of the modern Security Consulting group. How did this terrorist cell escape detection . Are we talking about a Police Failure . Guest it is just that terrorists always adapt to security measures we put place. I think an example of this was them accumulating guess canisters, understanding that if you buy in bulk it will raise a flag, if you only buy one in different cities he will go undetected. That shows the capacity to understand what is there. Brent requires a lot of patience and organization. Guest yes, were willing to strike within 18 months, two years if necessary. Thats the biggest problem for us. Brent we have a french prosecutor saying maybe someone had visited sites in paris earlier. Are we talking about a bigger Jihadist Terror Network operating in europe . Guest it is basically a convergence of interests. Its not a james bondtype of organization. Maybe well have a cell here, a cell there. You have a weapons provider, similar interests, someone who can see a cut area scout that area. There is of course a contact between expats. That facilitates everything, doesnt mean this one network but basically a convergence of goals and interests. Brent these cells can be intensively and tightly networked if they want to be. It is fairly easy. It is almost like an organic thing, isnt it . Yan absolutely. Especially with todays telecommunications, it can be guided online, offline. A death adapt, a borderless continent. It is easy to move around. Brent how much of a problem is that for Security Services . A borderless europe. Yan the biggest problem is the lack of standards. Every standard changes per country. In the u. K. License plates are recognized the minute you change areas. Between austria and germany that is not the case. Basically if your standards vary from country to country you cannot have a continental guideline that could allow you to Work Together properly. Were still in the phase each one wants to protect their own piece of land. Brent and the terrorists can take advantage of that. Yan absolutely. Brent the methods of attack are also constantly evolving. How do we deal with that . Yan thats the biggest problem, well was play we always play catchup. Bombs and airplanes, then we started to realize their using passengers themselves, then their using cars and knives. We are always a step behind. We need to implement a state of mind with citizens where we increase awareness. That is difficult because we are not at war. Brent how can people be aware without being. . Without being paranoid . Yan its having context. People were aware for three weeks after an attack. Two weeks later your back to normal. Brent what you want is that level of normal awareness arise to rise. Yan yes. If you see a backpack on the train, to be where enough to say something. Just doing that will help a lot. Brent you advise governments on security. For example, if you were in brussels tonight, what would you tell the European Union it needs to do . What could feasibly turned into action . Yan to be honest i would not talk to the European Union. Brent what would you tell spains government . Yan i would tell them to stop pennypinching. They have had projects for a while but every time it comes down to budget. If we can save money, as long as something doesnt happen that we can do it. There are examples everywhere across europe, you know you are going to be hit. If you dont take the measures and to implement what is needed you will pay the price. Brent in other words it is always better to splurge on defense. Yan be smart how you splurge. I know a lot of people like to spend a lot of money but they buy toys. We always look for that one magic solution and its not one thing. Its different things. Learning how to complement all the resources. In we are far from that. Brent fascinating discussion. Appreciate you being on the show. Thank you. Other european cities are also reviewing their own security plans after the attacks in barcelona. Heavy stone barriers are being installed at the site of an iconic cathedral. Being used to cordon off the site are discarded pieces of the church itself. Germany suffered several terrorist attacks last year including a truck ramming into a Christmas Market in berlin that left 12 people dead. Security will be among the issues on german voter minds when they vote in the federal election next month. Angela merkels conservatives boasts an almost unbeatable lead but her opponents are going all out in order to pull support away from her. The social democrat challenger today attempted to capitalize on the unpopularity of u. S. President donald trump. He is now calling for the removal of u. S. Nuclear weapons from germany. I have made it clear here that the politics of the United States of america under the leadership of donald trump should under no circumstances become the politics of germany. Under no circumstances should germany take part in Nuclear Armament strategies. It is obvious from Donald Trumps policies the Nuclear Weaponry is part of his program. We have just seen in the conflict with north korea that we need Nuclear Disarmament strategies instead of further armament. And therefore i command that the Nuclear Arsenal stationed here in germany be withdrawn. Brent the leader of germanys free democrats says the country needs to change its my channel its national psyche. He spoke to dw in an exclusive interview. He hopes to be the key maker of germanys major parties. He also had plenty to say on foreign policy, especially germanys rocky relationship with turkey. Reporter as party leader, he is their most prominent face and decisive voice in shaping his partys foreign policy. That was clear during his exclusive interview with dw news. He says the recent behavior of turkeys president towards germany should have significant consequences. All Economic Cooperation between germany and turkey should be frozen. No more export guarantees, no more discussions about preferential customs duties. We all the turkish opposition that. We owe the turkish opposition that. He would also and germanys military operation in afghanistan. I dont believe such a deployment would be opportune. Turning afghanistan into a democratic western oriented market economy was perhaps too much to expect from a cultural and social point of view. Reporter his key objective is to have his Party Win Seats again in Germanys National parliament, so he is openly critical of the government, wants Immigration Law for germany, less bureaucracy in the asylum system, and better migration of migration routes. The same way she did when the balkan route was closed, was far more decisive than any dealings with germany, chancellor merkel has not want mention setting down the mediterranean route. Reporter germans in general he says need to complain need to change. Hes gone for more freedom, hard work, and a bit more courage and less fear. I think we could change our way of approaching things. Reporter germany decides. That is what is happening with federal elections take place september 24. Among the issues voters will decide upon is whether he and his ftp will type help cshape the countrys future. Brent you can watch that interview tomorrow afternoon at 4 30 utc here, or on her website. On our website at dw. Com germanydecides. Here are some other stories that are making news around the world.

Still the come, charlottesville shrouds the statue of robert e. Lee in black. And german industry celebrating a happy anniversary. Christoph will be here with that and it is business news. Plus, 10 years of hashtags brent welcome back here with dw news. Investigators are probing links between the jihadist to attack spain last week and other european cells. That, as french authorities confirm some members visited paris in the lead up to last weeks attacks. In the u. S. The city of charlottesville has covered a controversial statue of confederate general robert e. Lee. The statue in the state of virginia was the focal point of a White Nationalist rally earliethis month. A young woman was lled there en a man drove into a group of antiracism protesters. The city voted earlier this year to remove the statue completely. That decision is being challenged in court. Yesterday, President Donald Trump drew fresh outrage after misrepresenting remarks that he made concerning charlottesville. He told the campaignstyle rally he would read them the comments he had made in the aftermath of the deadly violence, but he left out a key point. The controversial claim that many sides had been responsible for clashes at that white supremacist rally. Today he was talking to veterans and he stuck to those prepared remarks in the teleprompter. Today we are here to honor you for the sacrifices you have made to defend our nation and preserve our way of life. But we are also here for another reason, we are here to hold you up as an example of strength, courage, and resolve that our country will need to overcome the many challenges that we face. Were here to draw inspiration from you, as we seek to renew the bonds of loyalty that bond us together as one people, and one nation. Brent that was the u. S. President donald trump, a strong difference to what he was saying and he told he was seed eking in was speaking in an arizona yesterday. That could have an effect on the u. S. s creditworthiness. Christoph countries cherish a triplea Credit Rating but the u. S. Is at risk of losing its prime triplea status if it does not raise limits soon. The u. S. Treasury has until october to approve spending for next year and raise legal limits on borrowing. If it fails to do so the worlds top economy may be unable to pay off its sovereign debt, potentially sparking turmoil on global markets. So the prime Credit Rating of the worlds biggest economy is under threat. Sophie shema he is standing by on wall street. How did investors react to the news . Sophie definitely not too good. If the u. S. Is running out of money the Treasury Department can still issue bonds which is nothing more than some debt. But the debt ceiling is already leaked so congress would have to raise it. Without the ability to sell more debt the government is just out of money, possibly in early october already, and faces the risk of not being able to pay the interest on time. The biggest fear of traders is that the United States would have to default on bonds which would rattle Financial Markets worldwide. Last year after trump won, they already warned about the negative consequences of his planned economic policy. Christoph apple is scaling back its vision for its self driving car, that is according to the new york times. Apple is sitting on a huge pile of cash. What does the company spend it on, if not self driving cars . Sophie probably the new iphone, for example. The socalled project titan come a few years ago the company hired engineers are building cars and the were being told they were working on the companys next big thing, the product that would take on the automobile industry. But from the beginning these employees dedicated project titan looked at a wide range of details, too many details. It was just not clear. Team members complained in this of the product was facing shifting priorities and unrealistic deadlines. Some investors might be disappointed but others are thinking this is a good thing to stop spending money on something that is not well thought out. Christoph project titan dwarfed. Sify sophie, thank you. Chancellor Angela Merkel says german carmakers are not doing enough to clean the air. The missions cheating scandal led to a diesel summit between the government and the industry which experts called a failure. Now the government wants more action, fast. Reporter even the most modern diesel engines emit six times more nitrogen dioxide. Thats why the environment industry is called for karmiels carmakers to go beyond simple updates. German citizens have a right to clean air. The National Court of justice will be prescribing what to do. Unfortunately banning diesel from city centers would then be on the table. Reporter to avoid that and, ban, carmakers would have to retrofit diesel engines. Their current plan will go far enough. All manufacturers would need to undertake the reef its. But a new study by the German Automobile association sews german diesel cars emit far less than their international counterparts, cold comfort. Christoph it was meant as an insult and became a prime label. 130 years ago the british came up with the label made in germany, intended to protect their market from what they considered cheap german goods. Today, few other labels stand as prominently for precision and craftsmanship like made in germany. Reporter german machines in use in mexico. German cars on the roads of beijing. And items from German Sportswear Company warned by young and old around the world. These days the origin of a product remains as important as ever. Made in germany is a globally recognized quality of quality, precision, and craftsmanship. A study by a Market Research group showed 40,000 consumers around the world said they preferred products made in germany. The secondmost popular label is made in switzerland. The year. In union comes in third. The u. S. Is further down at position eight. Export giant china is way down the list at number 49, burdened with an image of being a low value is. Low value producer. Last year germany exported goods with a value of over 1. 2 trillion euros. But several 70 of the german car consists of components made elsewhere. Be made in germany brand has given birth to new label pedigrees. They start with designed in or parts from, as German Companies adjust to the realities of modern International Production chains. Christoph it is a hall with 24 billion euros. Germanys gold. At least some of it. Secret shipments saw all the countries gold in france returned to the bank as well as some reserves from the u. S. Thats a total of 674 tons of the precious metal. The highsecurity involved in the transport caused germany centralbank over 7. 5 million euros. Half of the german gold reserves are now kept within the country. Thats all your business. Brent thank you very much.
