Germany's far-right AfD wins state election
About this episode
The episode discusses the AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt and explores a BBC investigation into the FBI's handling of evidence related to 9/11.
Despite a decisive AfD victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, the party appears to have fallen short of an outright majority needed to govern alone. Also on the programme: a BBC investigation into whether the FBI buried evidence of the alleged involvement of Saudi agents in 9/11; and an unlikely hero of the Second World War gets his own movie.
