Far right party set to win German state elections
Update: 2024-09-01
Description
Exit polls suggest the far right Alternative for Germany is on course to win a state election for the first time. The party is predicted to win around 33% percent of the votes in Thuringia and in the neighbouring state of Saxony, exit polls put the AfD in second place.
Also in the programme: Protests have erupted in Israel after six hostages were killed in Gaza, increasing the pressure on Binyamin Netanyahu’s government; and an opera version of the famous UK fictional detective Sherlock Holmes goes on stage.
