Germany's AfD wins elections in the east, but falls short of majority

Available for 29 days

The preliminary vote count in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt indicates that the far-right AfD is on course for a significant lead over its rivals, though it might fall short of an absolute majority in the assembly. We get reactions from there. A BBC investigation looks at a man who may have played a key role in preparing the 911 attacks, but despite being arrested at the time was never prosecuted. And we hear about a movie where the weatherman is the hero, making a key decision during World War II about the weather conditions for the D -Day landings in France.
