Regional in Germany: Merz admits CDU defeat, AfD celebrates and Die Linke advances

Meanwhile, Die Linke was consolidated in Berlin, where his candidate Elif Eralp celebrated the triumph with a message of social change.

After four years of the sabotage of Nord Stream, the consequences still persist
This is one of the most shocking acts of sabotage since World War II. On the night of 26 September 2022, three of the four North Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines exploded at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, releasing about 465,000 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere. The attack put an end to a strategic energy link between Russia and Germany. Four years later, our correspondents Anne Maillet and Nick Holdsworth go through the consequences that still persist.
