German Chancellor Olaf Scholz regrets the far-right AfD's success in two regional elections, urging mainstream parties to work together against "right-wing extremists". Although the AfD made historic gains, coalition-building challenges may prevent them from governing effectively. Scholz emphasized the damaging impact of the AfD's nationalist and anti-migration stance on Germany's economy and society. With the national election approaching, the results signal potential trouble for Scholz's coalition.

Britain is facing a prison capacity crisis due to recent rioting arrests. To address the overcrowding issue, suspects will be held in police station cells until space is available in prisons. The justice system crisis, exacerbated by the pandemic, has led to tough decisions by the government. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan includes releasing prisoners earlier to alleviate overcrowding. The measures aim to increase prison capacity, particularly in the north of England, following misinformation about a suspect in a high-profile case.
