Now a top official says 75 years after hitler, far right terror looms once again over the country. A man has been stabbed inside a mosque near regents park in central london. Police have arrested a man at the scene, on suspicion of attempted murder. And the teenager with a phd. Mya rose craig is just 17, and the youngest ever doctor of science, in the uk. Hello and welcome im katty kay in washington and clive myrie is in london, Mike Bloomberg is in utah and probably very happy to have left las vegas behind. His performance in last nights democratic debate was cringe making. The former mayor came across as unprepared and defensive. He didnt look sound orfeel like a winner. The negatives are plenty, over race, women, his tax returns. But a lack of charm, charisma, and sure footedness on the public stage could be what ultimately sinks him. Democrats say their number one priority is choosing a candidate who can beat donald trump in november and bloombergs weaknesses last night didnt inspire confidence. The blows, upper cuts, jabs, hay maker body punches, came thick and fast. So, mr mayor, are you willing to release all of those women from those nondisclosure agreements so we can heartheir those nondisclosure agreements so we can hear their side of the story . Cheering. We have a very few non disclosure agreements. Cheering. We have a very few nondisclosure agreements. How many is that . Let me finish. None of them accuse me of doing anything other than maybe they like a i told. Mr bloomberg was not the only candidate getting flack last night. The two hour debate was hands down the most pointed and agressive of any of the nine debates so far. It was a mexican stand off that ended in mass gunfire. Yet their number one enemy, donald trump, came off lightly. I would like to talk about who we are running against. A billionaire who calls women that brides, and horse faced lesbians. And no i am not talking about donald trump, i am talking about mayor bloomberg. Are you trying to say that im dumb, or are you mocking me here . We are not going to throughout capitalism from other countries tried that, it was called communism and itjust did not work. Lets talk about democratic socialism, not communism, mr bloomberg, thats a cheap shot. Sophie long was watching last nights debate she joins us now from las vegas, nevada. Good to see you. We know money cant buy you love, it certainly cannot buy you love, it certainly cannot buy you love, it certainly cannot buy you a good debate performance either. No certainly not. I mean i think the pre debate exchanges promised an explosive evening and they certainly got that. Bernie sanders as he would imagine tried to lead the attack on Mike Bloomberg but really it was Elizabeth Warren who came up from behind i really we nt who came up from behind i really went for the jugular instantly was the first five minutes of that debate last night. He really saw some attacks. They try to get his message across is that this is traceable, what we needed someone who could beat trump and someone who can deliver when they are in the white house. He talked about his re cord white house. He talked about his record and said he was the candidate to do that, but unsurprisingly it no one on to do that, but unsurprisingly it no one on that stage agreed to. And hes attacked on every part of his record, on his stop and frisk policy notjust the record, on his stop and frisk policy not just the employment of the but the language used to defend it in the language used to defend it in the way his companies have treated women, and probably that was the most uncomfortable cringe worthy moment of the night. Joe but it also jumped on the back of that and said its very simple, thats all you need to do and he was fairly dismissive about that and they said they would stand. Im not sure with they would stand. Im not sure with the audience made of that, there were booths at some point and cheers for Elizabeth Warren potts by attacks of him. They all went after bloomberg with the person who is out front in this group is Bernie Sanders. Did he come away from this feeling pretty happy, imagine, his position was not attacked by the others. Yes, i think position was not attacked by the others. Yes, ithink youre position was not attacked by the others. Yes, i think youre right because in previous debates the person who is subjected to the most attacks is the person leading the polls, Bernie Sanders went ten the leader last night and did not of course get the attacks that one might normally largely because of the new tender the entered the stage because williams americans the Mike Bloombergs face everyday because of the hundreds of millions of dollars he has put into Television Advertising but this was the first time they saw him on a Live Television debate stage and thats really what everyone was watching for. A lot of the focus that would have been Bernie Sanders last night really all went to Mike Bloomberg. I think Bernie Sanders would have come out of that pretty happily. What bloombergs campaign is seen today they fairly unphased about it. Hes been campaigning with in utah and joke with people saying how was your night . I think now of course all eyes are on night . I think now of course all eyes are on super tuesday. Bloombergs name is not on the ballot he re bloombergs name is not on the ballot here in nevada on saturday at north and South Carolina. Super tuesday of chris wood more than 14 states will vote and whether1300 delegates states will vote and whether 1300 delegates up for states will vote and whether1300 delegates up for grabs. All eyes that now. So feet long there for us in las vegas. Sophie. Lets bring in democratic strategist, joel payne. He joins us now from new york. Bloomberg is into the race and done his debate. Where does the Democratic Party stand right now in terms of the capacity to choose a nominee for the presidency who can beat donald trump . |j nominee for the presidency who can beat donald trump . I think the race as it stands right now is Bernie Sanders and pete are ahead on delegates and they expect stander to show pretty well in nevada and probably when it becomes a question of whether warren and biden can put up of whether warren and biden can put upa good of whether warren and biden can put up a good enough fight in nevada with a second or third place showing and South Carolina with a wind to really make this a fight between the current competitors. At the current competitors because there is one competitors because there is one competitor of the slimming barge that has not been contesting any of these first four states which is Mike Bloomberg. Theres almost the bloomberg phase of the race that starts on super tuesday. We got a preview of that last night and i think bloomberg got a preview of how these fellow candidates are going to be treating him as he becomes more ofa be treating him as he becomes more of a centre of everyones focus. Clive my re here in london. He did not do very well last night its clear, everyone can see that, but can he pull it out of the bag, do you think . Come super tuesday considering he is not running in nevada or South Carolina . Considering he is not running in nevada or South Carolina . Is a great point of the important point is early voting has begun a lot of states in a place like california over a states in a place like california over a million ballots have been cast. In nevada where hes not on the ballot more than two thirds of vote rs have the ballot more than two thirds of voters have already voted for early voting in places like North Carolina and virginia. I get a Family Member who is already voted in North Carolina to the debate last night will not change how they are going to vote. Bloomberg certainly benefits from that phenomenon whether or not long term through la st whether or not long term through last nights debate in the themes that emerged last night was that will hurt them long term. Time will tell and whats interesting is that bloomberg is almost the perfect foil for this with warren and Bernie Sanders. In his person he is really the manifestation of everything that they are fighting against in this campaign. A corporate influence, money and politics being able to buy an election. Bloomberg is trying to disprove that thesis. Let me put a theory to you that i heard from a democrat last night that we go into super tuesday partly because of early voting, partly because he is doing so well in the polls, Bernie Sanders does very well in california basically wraps up the nomination because he get so many delegates on super tuesday and Bernie Sanders as this democrat is saying can never win the general election so not only isa win the general election so not only is a overcome of the election is over on super tuesday as well. Democrats who say Bernie Sanders cannot win the election are about as credible as republicans who four years ago said donald trump could never win the election. The parties are realigning and are changing. Anyone to suggest that they know how vote rs anyone to suggest that they know how voters are going to react to Bernie Sanders at the top of a ticket in nine months are probably running a fools errand. Its certainly a different race that democrats will have to run if Bernie Sanders is the standard bearer of the party have to run if Bernie Sanders is the standard bearer of the party but that doesnt mean they cant win. Donald trump would have had the same criticisms four years ago so i think democrats would be smart to look at the lessons of the last five years and try to not overreact to what they assume the electorate is feeling right now. Supersmart point, thank you very much for joining us. Which is actually what other previous nominee was saying to me last night as well. Four years ago no one thought donald trump was going to win all the establishment thought Hillary Clinton had this in the bag, lets not assume the rules are the same as they have been in the past. And by the way i was messaging with somebody thats messed advising Michael Bloomberg and admitted it was a bad debate but did not love that, almost wish he had not been on the stage, but he said mike can buy his way out of this with more tv ads. This was an experiment in debating, his strategy is tv ads blanketing the airways and he has time between now and super tuesday to run a lot more of those. He has spent 300 million or something and some suggest he could spend 2 billion, the whole Democratic Party last time spent 1 billion. Money will definitely keep them in the race. Theres no question about that but look at what has happened to far left candidates running in Office Around the world. Jeremy corbyn here did not do too well. And they are watching this too. 20 million americans watch that debate and 100 plus million americans watch the super bowl. Mike bloomberg had an ads running in the super bowl. For those watching last night our visits. They are votes, yes. Angela merkel is condemning the poison of racism after a suspected far right attack in the town hanau. Nine people were killed they all had migrant backgrounds. The suspect is a 43 year old german man who was police found dead in his home along with his mother, who, they believe, had been murdered too. Hanau is a large town about 25 kilometres east of frankfurt. At around 10pm on wednesday night the gunman opened fire at two shisha bars. First at the midnight shisha bar then he moved to the arena bar and cafe in the kesselstadt neighbourhood. The suspect has been named by local media as tobias r. The aftermath of what now looks to have been a premeditated racist attack in the quiet german town of hanau. He suspected gunmen public s ta rg ett, hanau. He suspected gunmen public s ta rgett, two hanau. He suspected gunmen public s targett, two sheets cafes hanau. He suspected gunmen public s ta rgett, two sheets cafes for smoking scented tobacco and popular with the turkish and kurdish communities. It was around ten oclock when they say the attacker started shooting outside of those inside the midnight bar and he fled by car, drove a mile and a half and shot at those inside the arena bar. Nine people were killed, five victims were of turkish origin. I have described the panic during the attack. Im shocked now, im shocked. Everybody ran on the right and left, i see much panic, panic, panic. Please state the group german named as a 43 year old worker to kill his mother and then himself. Investigators are scrutinising his websites which contain the written ma nifesto websites which contain the written manifesto reported to have espoused the policing of public views and paints a picture of a man with Serious Mental Health issues. He talks of the state trying to get into his brain. There are Big Questions now are how German Authorities can stop right wing extremism and the rising number of attacks. In the past year theres been an assassination of a german politician and an attack on a synagogue in the east of the country and three days ago German Police said he dismantled a right wing extremist cell and now this incident. The german chancellor and a summit in brussels today spoke of the poison of hatred and poison of racism infecting german society. The local mp here told me of existing tensions here in the town and said that extremism was an issue she claimed to be made to the growth of populism. You have to put stop signs there and really set redlines. And be far more strict with hate speech. Several ethnic minority families living here said they are too afraid to go out tonight worried that a threat may still exist. But many people are gathering to the flowers and tributes to those that have lost their lives. Of the organisation Turkish Community in germany in the state of hesse where the attack happened. I understand you went to or have been to one of the bars that was attacked last night. Yes that is the case and we are deeply shocked and saddened by the terrorist attacks which occurred. Theres dozens of protests and vigils going on the country as we speak. This is not a mere isolated incident committed by some alone troubled 40 something year old gunman. Lets call a spade a spade. This is an act of far right terrorism nurtured by what some german politicians today have called a toxic social climate within the country. This is terrorism produced by the ideological hotbeds of identity arianism, is on the phobia and anti semitism and racism. This is christchurch all over again. As the german government, in your opinion been slow to fess up to the idea that it has a far right problem in germany . This is the third major act of right wing terrorism in the la st act of right wing terrorism in the last couple of months in the german state here alone. There were only the ones that have claimed lives. Just recently as you mentioned 12 individuals were arrested for planting and forming a far right Terrorism Network planning to attack politicians, asylum seekers, dues and muslims. The media response in germany shipped up to be rather disproportionate. Domestic intelligence services, they have identified close to 33,000 violent extremists, that is a third higher compared to 2018. So it was only after the attacks that you also mentioned, the synagogue, the attack on the synagogue that officials have admitted measures by which right wing extremists are because of at the same way as religiously motivated extremists. Years after other things. We do appreciate the service of the federal government and Law Enforcement, we have many friends there but still we think that there needs to be a major recalibration of counterterrorism strategies within this country. there the suggestion that the ideas that were the province of the far right and perhaps out inside the space and on the fringes of society are now becoming more mainstream . Definitely. This is due to certain outlets and certain actors within the political and social discourse that are trying to frame this very discourse, and by framing this discourse, and by framing this discourse in a certain way certain people feel themselves to be more represented within certain spectrums of society. I just represented within certain spectrums of society. Ijust talked about identity arianism, i talked about certain actors that do not overtly appear to attack certain groups orcs demonise certain religions, or certain people but do this subtly answer a subtle demeanour you can kind of strength in the position of these people. Thank you very much indeed. We could talk to Cynthia Miller interest and she runs the lab at the American University in washington and ridgely published a book about far right Youth Culture in germany called the extreme mainstream. Thanks so much for being with us, we have just heard there is the third far right attack and less than a year including an attack on a synagogue. By the authorities taking far right terrorist activities as seriously as they may be taking islamist activities as well . First launch is that my thoughts and to put these go out to all the victims and the communities affected for this is a terrible time and my thoughts are with them. The authorities in germany have been taking this much more seriously than other countries, so thats one thing i think from the outside looking in toa i think from the outside looking in to a country like germany where they have added 600 positions in the last year and theyve been able to monitor right wing extremis
