While the debate over muslim refugees dominates much of the political rhetoric at home it pales in comparison to the dark backlash spread across europe. Tense protests, street brawls, arson attacks. What does it mean for the thousands of refugees caught up in a personal purgatory . Heres my nightline coanchor dan harris. We want a europe free from fear free from terrorists reporter there is something unsettling about standing in a square once named after adolf hitler and listening to thousands of germans chant nationalist slogans. What theyre chanting now is traitors of the people. Theyre referring to the leaders of germany who are allowing all these refugees in. 1 millionth refuji. And these people want to send them home. This continent is at a boiling point. While the debate over muslim refugees rages in america, were traveling across europe where the far right is turning angry rhetoric the next terrorist attack in europe reporter into reality. We want sweden to stay swedish. Reporter fueled by a seemingly endless river of refugees as well as by the isis attacks in paris. At least one attacker posing as a refugee reporter ultraconservative, antiimmigrant parties or the raise. Migrants. Many of them escaping war zones only to now be confronted with a wave of assaults and arson attacks. In germany, the most provocative pegida. And its led by this man. Mutz bachmann. Recently this picture of him apparently mask raiding as hitler surfaced in the media. He insists it was photoshopped. We are for a christian jewish culture. This is the culture we have in europe. We dont have islam culture here. Theres no room for another religion . Islam isnt a religion. Its an ideology. And fascist ideology. Reporter this is a chant with ominous historical overtones. Theyre chanting liar press. This is a chant that the nazis used to use. But to my surprise the people arent stereotypical skinheads. They seem like regular folks who are just scared. Islam its okay, but no so much. Reporter just 100 yards away from the pegida rally there is a much smaller rally of antipegida protesters. Your critics say that your rhetoric is inspiring violence against the refugees. Okay. If they say it, okay. But it isnt. This is going to be hard to contain. The police are moving the counter protesters away but the pegida folks are occupying the high ground. Minor skirmishes like this are just a foretaste of what bachmann says lies ahead. The outcome is going to be civil war in europe. Civil war in europe . Civil war in europe. This is going to be the outcome. Reporter the next morning we head two hours north to meet a young man who finds himself in the middle of this potential war. Quite well. Im from syria, aleppo. Reporter we met 21yearold ali in september in turkey. Hello. Reporter we followed him and his friends as they made the 2,000mile journey, attempting perilous border crossings in the dead of night were right on the border. Reporter all the while with their eyes on the prize in germany. Were going to stop in germany. Reporter germany. What kind of life do you think youll have . A good life. Simple life. Reporter the three months later the easy, simple life he imagined in germany is decidedly more complex. This is pretty far removed. From anything. Hello. Hello. Nice to see you. How are you . Its been a long time. Reporter hes clearly relieved to see familiar faces here in this remote corner of east germany where hes been when you walk through the village, do people say hello to you . No. No . No. They look at you strange. Like this. And they will go reporter he tells us he spends most of his time at this hotel for refugees. This is our theater. Shes perfect. Reporter hes trying to learn german while he waits for a temporary residency card. He says hes keenly aware that many people are suspicious of him. They think we are terrorists. Thats why they are scared from us. They must to understand us. Because the people, they are coming from syria, they are running, running from everything. So theyre not coming here to make trouble, theyre coming here to survive . Of course, they want peace. They dont want any problems. They dont want to hear any shotguns. They dont want to hear any bombs coming on their houses. Take care of you, dan. Reporter i almost feel badly leaving him. But we have to head north to sweden where in a country that famously promised asylum to any syrian refugee who could get there, a surprising backlash is brewing. A party called the sweden democrats, led by youthful, energetic nationalists, is surging in popularity. We are arriving in sweden, famously one of the most welcoming and open countries in all europe. Even here the sheer number of refugees arriving on the shores is testing the limits of a socalled humanitarian super power. Reporter recently the deputy Prime Minister choked up when she found herself forced to announce that the country must renege on its opendoor promise. We saw right away, police now forcing refugees to register at the border. On this train they found some people who didnt have the right papers. Clearly refugees. And theyre being taken away. Leaders of the sweden democrats, this is not enough. They want to stop these people from coming in the first place. The party recently released this ad aimed at anyone contemplating making the journey. This is a party said to have roots in the neo Nazi Movement that has now turned from shaved heads and tattoos to suits and ties. Producing videos full of images of an ideal sweden. This woman is actually a spokesperson for the partys youth group, linia cortes. The biggest mistake in migrant policy have been we have received too many in such short time and this has resulted in a segregated country. One of the members of your party said he doesnt think there should be mosques in sweden. Do you agree . We do believe that everyone and all the muslims in sweden has the right to do that. But maybe not in a mosque. Isnt that maybe a little unwelcoming or closedminded . No. I dont think so. We still believe that everyone should have the right to practice their religion. But only in a building that you think fits in . Yeah. Reporter the complicated part of this story is that the far right is correct that the refugee influx is creating unprecedented issues. Mass brawls at overcrowded refugee centers. This is police, stop it now reporter runaway costs. And grave security concerns. But the further you go into the darker pockets of the antirefugee movement, the more you realize the only solution some of these people may find acceptable is racial and religious purity. If it was up to you guys refugees living in stockholm, you are not welcome here, go home now. Reporter on our last night we meet perhaps the most extreme people of our entire journey. We have to show them that the people dont want them here. We want to stop the invasion. Reporter a group called nord nordic youth. I think you have to burn it down at the beginning. I think its going to be worse. A lot worse. Reporter the question isnt whether europe is changing. It already has. The question is whether conflict is now going to be a permanent part of this new world. Do you think there will ever be a time when violence is justified . Yeah, of course. But definitely believe civil war will be inevitable. If something doesnt change. Reporter for nightline, this is dan harris in stockholm, sweden. Up next, the nationwide rich texas teen infamous for his affluenza defense. Why authorities are looking for his mothers black ford truck. Later, the social media fallout after a royal screwup while crowning Miss Universe. Why is Philips Sonicare the most loved electric toothbrush brand by americans and their dentists . Because it leaves your mouth with a level of clean like youve never felt before. Get healthier gums in 2 weeks. Innovation and you. Philips sonicare im billy, and i quit smoking with chantix. I dont know that i can put into words its like losing some baggage, i dont have to carry it around with me anymore. Chantix made it possible for me to quit smoking. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. Man, i love being a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Whatcha doin . Just prepping for my bosss party in a couple weeks. What are those . Crest 3d White Whitestrips whiten 25 times better than a leading whitening toothpaste. Someones making quite an impression. This holiday season, select crest whitestrips are buy one, get one free. [ dog barks ] [ bark ] [ gasps ] oh no look, the skys awake that. Was. Epic [ bark ] music another sunny day by belle and sebastian such a shame its labeled a getaway. Life should always feel like this. Hampton. We go together. Always get the lowest price, the rich and privileged teenager who killed four people in a drunk driving accident and got no jail time, after a novel ainfluenza defense, now reportedly on the run with his mother. Perhaps joining him as an accomplice. Whats the next thing you waking up handcuffed to the hospital bed. Reporter hes the rich teen dead. Theres four, five kids, kids laying in ditches and streets. Oh lord, oh, yes, theres my god. This guy killed four people. Paralyzed another. Reporter and famously defense. Affluenza . Too rich for jail. Reporter she is the doting him in. When is the last time you recall disciplining ethan for anything . I dont remember. Reporter ethan couch, now 18 years old, and his mother, tanya, reportedly fleeing authorities together. We believe that shes helping him and that shes assisting him. We need the publics help in locating this vehicle. Reporter perhaps in this trickedout harleydavidson edition ford pickup truck after attending this beer pong party, raising questions he might have violated his probation. To be a violation of probation they need evidence he was actually drinking. Not just at a party. Reporter it began on a summer night in 2013 when couch, downing booze and pills, got behind the wheel of his fathers red pickup truck. Speeding down the wrong side of the road, he lost control of the vehicle and plowed into a group of people. Just a recipe for disaster. Reporter richard alpert, the assistant District Attorney who charged ethan with four counts of intox saying manslaughter. Alpert wanted the poor little rich kid to do big boy time. We asked for 20 years. Reporter ethan pled guilty, then during sentencing adopted an unusual defense. Affluenza. He talked about the fact that the reason for this crime was he was a child of privilege. And his parents didnt say no to him. Reporter the Juvenile Court judge sentenced its than to ten years probation and time in rehab. A single day behind bars. What i really hate about this is not the nagging sense of wrongdoing and injustice. What i really hate is having this all dredged up, reopening the wound for these victims families. Reporter in videotaped depositions from a civil trial his parents admitted to allowing him to live on his own in this 4,000 square foot ranch house. These pictures from the weapon site zillow show a wet bar in a den, a pool out back. They let him drive a car from the time he was 13. You understood, if he was at any time under 16, he was never to be driving by himself . Yes. Nevertheless, you allowed that behavior to happen, correct . Yes. Reporter now has ethans mom gone insofar as to enable his escape . If we can find out she helped will file criminal cases against her. Reporter ethans father fred couch is cooperating with authorities. Telling them he hasnt heard from either of them in two weeks. I promise you, he is being tapped and surveilled. His money transactions, his cell phone, his home phone. Like nobodys business tonight. They are watching to see if hes transferring money to them. Not so much for his wife. Theyre esstranged. But his baby boy. Reporter following that trail could lead authorities to exactly where ethan and tanya may be hiding out. Youve got to find the money. You find the end of the money, you find the kid. Bottom line. Reporter but that wont help much if theyve left the country. There are around 100 countries that do not have an extradition treaty or agreement with the united states. Reporter if theyre caught, firsttime charges for tanya could be stiff. The mother may very well face jail time of her own. In some jurisdictions thats up depending on the degree with which you aid and abet the fugitive. Reporter and ethan may face what critics said he deserved long ago. In my opinion, he belongs in big boy jail. He belongs in adult prison. Let him get a taste of real prison and real adult justice. And maybe let him know that money and privilege dont buy you out of every circumstance. Up next there can be only one Miss Universe 2015. But last night there were two. Albeit briefly. Shes beauty, shes grace, shes miss philippines . There is normally only one crowned winner. In the Miss Universe 2015 pageant there were two. What happened . Heres abcs david wright. Miss universe 2015 is colombia in the history of beauty pageants this was the shortest reign ever. Two minutes in the tiara before a sheepish steve harvey slungk back onstage. I have to apologize. The first runnerup is colombia. Reporter before essentially telling her to hand over the crown. Miss universe 2015 is philippines. Reporter one of the most awkward moments ever on live tv. For this
