Russia's foreign ministry has revealed that it is engaged in behind-the-doors diplomacy with North Korea. It also thinks that US President Donald Trump is acting recklessly. Moscow believes that sanctions are not effective, but it could possibly take the route of offering Pyongyang economic benefits in exchange for scaling back its nuclear programme. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from Moscow.
What does Germany's far-right AfD party plan to do now? Our diplomatic editor Mark Urban speaks to the deputy leader of Alternative for Germany Beatrix von Storch.
The Alternative for Germany party, which has moved so far right that it includes neo-Nazis, now has a seat at the table. Meanwhile, both the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats lost big, explains TRNN's Shir Hever
North Korea says Trump's dangerous rhetoric is tantamount to a declaration of war. But even if military officials try to act as a restraint on Trump's hostility, Trump isn't bound by the advice he gets from anyone, says Col. Larry Wilkerson
The German right wing party AfD has been voted into parliament with the third largest share in votes. Many say their surge is due to Angela Merkel's controversial refugee policies, but is it that simple? PBS NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Christopher Livesay reports.
A Chief Economist at Berenberg tells Sky's Ian King that "narrow economic interests" such as Germany's pursuit of tariff-free access to UK trade after Brexit will in no way shape Brexit negotiations - it follows Angela Merkel's re-election as German Chancellor. Senior International Economist at Barclays, Tomasz Wieladek says Merkel's new government is unlikely to change its stance on Brexit negotiations after the election.
She was expected to win, and she did. But Angela Merkel's re-election victory in Germany on Sunday is bittersweet. The Chancellor's Christian Democratic Union won 34 percent of seats in the parliament or Bundestag - that's enough to be the biggest party, but not for a majority government. She'll start talks to build a coalition. At the same time, Merkel's contending with a surge of support for the AfD - the nationalists won the largest far-right representation in parliament since Hitler's Nazis in the 1940s.
For the first time in decades, a right wing party that's opposed her every move has a seat at the political table. Merkel says her party has a clear mandate. How will she govern this time?
