Germany tightens border controls as far-right AfD party surges in the polls
Authorities in Germany are tightening controls on the border with Poland in a bid to curb illegal migration but some fear it is simply a response to a rise in support for the right-wing in the country.

In a dramatic show of unity, U.S. President Donald Trump has joined forces with European leaders in Kyiv to demand an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. With pressure mounting on Vladimir Putin, the coalition—including leaders from France, Germany, the UK, and Poland—has issued what many are calling a final warning: agree to peace or face devastating new sanctions.

Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections.

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader.
