Germany: Merkel Wins 4th Term; Right-Wing Party Wins 13% to Enter Parliament
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has won a fourth term in Sunday's
elections, although her victory was overshadowed by the surge in support
for the extremist right-wing party, Alternative for Germany. The
xenophobic and anti-immigrant party won 13 percent of the vote, becoming
the first far-right-wing party to break into the German Parliament in
more than 60 years.
