This content discusses a recent ramming attack in Magdeburg, Germany, allegedly carried out by a psychiatrist who is accused of being Islamophobic. The suspect has been charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. The incident has raised concerns about the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in Germany, particularly with the far-right Alternative for Germany party gaining popularity. The question of whether the attack, along with the ongoing migrant crisis, will further divide Germany is also raised. The possibility of police taking preventive measures to avoid such attacks is also discussed. The content includes a panel discussion with guests providing insights on the political implications of the incident.

German authorities say the suspect supports a right-wing party.
German authorities say the psychiatrist accused of a ramming attack in Magdeburg is Islamophobic.
They have charged the Saudi psychiatrist – who has lived in Germany for 18 years – with several counts of murder and attempted murder.
But the anti-immigrant, far-right Alternative for Germany party has made gains in opinion polls before February’s snap election. And just days after the fall of the al-Assad regime, the government in Berlin froze asylum applications from Syrians.
Will Friday’s carnage, coupled with the dispute about migrants in Europe, divide Germany even further?
Could police have done more to prevent the attack?
