00:00
A spokesperson for the far-right AFD says the party is ready to talk to everyone to
00:06
form a state government for Thuringia.
00:11
The Pope is heading on his longest papal tour ever as he heads to Asia to rally the region's
00:16
growing Catholic community.
00:20
Eighty-five years after the outbreak of World War II, a commemorative event took place in
00:25
Poland at the site of the attack which sparked the conflict.
00:33
Sunday marked the very first time since the Nazis were in power that the far-right has
00:37
won a state election in Germany.
00:40
Far-right party Alternative for Germany, or the AFD, celebrated coming first place in
00:45
Thuringia and second place in Saxony, according to the first exit polls.
00:50
We expect this to be a starting signal for a political change in the entire Federal Republic,
00:57
and it will be obvious, especially in the east of the republic, because here the dynamics
01:01
in politics are simply greater than in the west.
01:03
We have set out today to support the Brandenburgs and we will be able to see just as great historical
01:09
results there in three weeks.
01:12
AFD applauded their historic results, according to Sunday's exit polls.
01:17
But will they be able to form a coalition?
01:20
Well, the next step is the government negotiations.
01:24
As the strongest force, we are basically entrusted with making the necessary offers
01:29
according to parliamentary needs.
01:31
And it will show whether the established politics, whether the other forces continue their previous
01:39
concepts, which have actually failed, or whether they are actually ready to come into conversation
01:44
with us.
01:46
A counter-protest was held outside the Erfurt parliament as exit results came in.
02:17
Voter turnout was much higher this year compared to the previous elections in 2019.
02:30
The main losers of this election were the current coalition parties, Social Democrats,
02:35
Greens and the Liberals.
02:39
The Pope is beginning his longest, furthest and most challenging trip ever to Asia.
02:45
Pope Francis will be visiting Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore
02:49
during his 11-day trip.
02:51
Travelling tens of thousands of kilometres, the journey will far surpass any of his previous
02:56
trips, being one of the longest papal tours ever.
03:00
I will begin an apostolic journey in some Asian countries.
03:05
Please pray for the fruit of this journey.
03:11
During his trip, the Pope will deliver 16 speeches and hold several giant masses as
03:16
he seeks to rally the region's growing Catholic community.
03:20
While attempting to bolster ties with local Catholics, the Pope also aims to bridge religious
03:26
divides in a majority Muslim country like Indonesia, during a visit to an iconic mosque.
03:31
Francis also faces challenges like addressing growing discrimination amongst religious minorities
03:37
in Indonesia and a sexual abuse scandal in East Timor.
03:41
The Pope is expected to address some of the key issues that have marked his tenure as
03:45
head of the Catholic Church, including the environment.
03:49
A commemoration marking the 85th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II took place
03:55
in the northern Polish city of Gdansk.
03:58
Veterans, troops and delegations from across Poland participated in the event alongside
04:03
Polish politicians at the location where the war was triggered decades ago.
04:08
Nearly 6 million Poles died in the conflict, which killed more than 50 million people overall.
04:15
Poland's current pro-EU government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has urged Germany
04:20
to provide financial compensation over losses the country sustained at the hands of Nazi troops.
04:27
According to Polish media, discussions between the two countries on financial compensation
04:32
to living victims are underway, with Poland estimating up to 70,000 people would be eligible.
04:39
Speaking at the ceremony, Tusk said the lessons of the world war were not an abstraction
04:44
and drew parallels with the ongoing war in neighbouring Ukraine.
