An 18-hour hostage situation at Hamburg airport has just been resolved with a suspect detained and a child uninjured.
It began when an armed man drove through a security barrier and on to the tarmac, firing two shots and throwing two burning bottles out of the car.
It appears to have been a custody dispute. And a widespread survey finds racism across Europe is on the rise.
