German election: Centre-right claims victory

Centre-right opposition leader Friedrich Merz has claimed victory in the German election, with exit polls also indicating that Alternative for Deutschland, or AfD, is heading for the strongest showing for a far-right party since World War II. The election result comes as Germany and the rest of Europe grapple with the new Trump administration, and the Russia-Ukraine war.
