Germany proposes new anti-terror measures

Hannah Kodmani, a Syrian refugee in Germany speaks to Newsday about her reaction to proposals, which will be backed by Germany's Interior Minister. It's thought they could include restrictions on the wearing of the burka in public. Other proposals to be announced could include deporting criminals more quickly and changing doctor-patient confidentiality rules. The security ideas, some of which may be unconstitutional, come after a spate of terror attacks in recent weeks but are likely to prove very controversial.
