france and germany, both rocked new series of laws and regulations... aimed at stopping attacks in europe - before they happen. de maiziere says: translated "the three elements are first the number and organization of our security authorities, second, prevention and integration and third, determination and rigor against those who break the law, those who endanger and support radicalization." but critics say many of the proposed measures go too far... they include faster deportations, longer detentions, and the breaching of doctor-patient certain cases. france and germany are also working together on a plan to overcome the use of encrypted networks... by increasing domestic surveillance. cazeneueve says: translated "this is a key issue in the anti-terror action because much of the information exchange among terrorists is encrypted, which makes it difficult to launch intelligence operations." others are saying the laws don't go far enough... with right-wing parties calling for a tougher approach - including a ban on full-body burkas worn by some muslim wo
