Facing A Spate Of Terror Attacks, Europe Focuses On Security

A series of deadly ISIS-inspired attacks ripped through Europe in the past year, spiking security fears, nationalist sentiment and undercutting a normally busy tourist season.

In France, soldiers patrol beaches and advocates call for Guantánamo-like cells for terror suspects. In Germany, officials take on social media companies claiming non-compliance on terror issues and a rising number of citizens rail against open-arm refugee policies supported by the country's chancellor.

All grapple with the question: How can Europe be safer?

Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson explores the state of security in the E.U. with Alexandra von Nahmen of Deutsche Welle and James Andre of France 24.
