German Far-Right Party Gains Seats in Parliament
------------------------------------------------

In Germany, the party of Angela Merkel lost ground in regional elections
that saw the largest vote share for a far-right party in Berlin since
World War II. The anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany
party will gain its first-ever seats in Parliament after winning 14
percent of the vote.
