00:01On the streets of Berlin, Germans reacted to the news that the far-right alternative
00:06for Germany was designated an extremist organization.
00:11Authorities cited the party's xenophobic stances on ethnicity as the reason for the decision,
00:17saying the AFD discriminates against non-ethnic Germans.
00:21I think it's like if it's a last thing, you know how to help me with the AFD to deal with.
00:33And then you have to take this permit, but I don't think it's in Ordnung.
00:39It had already happened, I don't understand why this Gutachten,
00:43it was already before the Bundestagswahl,
00:47and why this wasn't already published.
00:51Because I think that maybe the other voters of the AFD would be able to move the party
00:57not to vote.
00:58Now that it's official as a right-wing system and anti-democratic,
01:03you can think about a rule.
01:06But I don't see it as a solution for the right-wing we have in Germany.
01:10The AFD claimed the decision was politically motivated
01:13and reminded supporters the classification hasn't yet been legally finalized.
01:22Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK party
01:25has won the UK's closest post-war by-election to gain its fifth seat in Parliament.
01:33They narrowly defeated Labour in the northwest constituency of Runcorn and Hellsby
01:38by just six votes.
01:42Reform campaigned on an anti-immigration platform
01:45and criticized the Labour government's welfare cuts.
01:50Very clear message tonight.
01:52In much of this country, if you vote Conservative, you will get Labour.
01:57And what tonight does is it embeds us.
02:01We now are the opposition party in the United Kingdom to the Labour Party
02:06and the Tories, frankly, are a waste of space.
02:10After gaining about 14% of the vote in last year's national election,
02:15reform has spiked in popularity.
02:20National polls show it equaling or surpassing Labour far ahead of the Conservatives.
02:26Israel's air force launched a strike near Syria's presidential palace
02:36in a warning for the Syrian government to stop attacks on the country's Druze minority.
02:43The military intervention came as dozens of people have been killed in clashes
02:48between pro-government forces and Druze militias near the capital, Damascus.
02:53Fighting broke out after an audio clip circulated on social media
02:59of a man criticizing Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
03:02The audio was attributed to a Druze cleric,
03:07but the new Syrian government confirmed the man was not involved.
03:12Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the airstrike was a direct warning
03:20to the Syrian authorities.
03:24The Syrian government hit out at what it called foreign intervention in its country.
03:31They described it as a dangerous escalation and an attempt to destabilize the country.
03:37Drones of Malta attacked an eight ship bound for Gaza on Friday, organizers report.
03:46The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says its vessel Conscience was hit causing a fire
03:51which is now controlled and all aboard are safe.
03:54Sharing a video of the fire, the group blames Israel, which has not yet come in.
03:59Israel has cut off Gaza from all imports including food and medicine since the beginning of March.
04:04The incident recalls the deadly 2010 Mavi Marmara raid on a similar Gaza aid flotilla
04:10where Israeli forces killed nine people on board.
04:17Several people were injured, some of them seriously,
04:20after a car drove into a group of people in the German city of Stuttgart.
04:25The driver, a 42-year-old man, was not injured and was arrested at the scene.
04:30Police said all evidence pointed to a tragic traffic accident
04:36and that they found no evidence of an attack.
04:39The incident comes after Germany witnessed several deadly car-ramming attacks
04:43in recent months, including in Magdeburg and Munich.
04:47the incident was later in the
04:52The third day, the incident was turned into a
