The German parliament has narrowly passed a motion calling for radical tightening of the country’s immigration and asylum rules (16:45 and 16:59) after a series of recent knife attacks. The non-binding motion (17:11), proposed by the main opposition party CDU/CSU which is on course to win the next month’s parliamentary election, was backed by the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party. It was the first time in the history of the federal German parliament that a motion backed by the far-right was adopted, breaking a longstanding taboo (“firewall”) on cooperation with the anti-immigration party. AfD leader Alice Weidel called it a “historic day for Germany” (18:47)
