Germany's far-right AfD wins state election
Despite the decisive victory, the party appears to have fallen short of an outright majority
Despite a decisive AfD victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, the party appears to have fallen short of an outright majority needed to govern alone. Also on the programme: a 麻豆社 investigation into whether the FBI buried evidence of the alleged involvement of Saudi agents in 9/11; and an unlikely hero of the Second World War gets his own movie.
