As Merz scrambles for support, Germany's identity crisis is laid bare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A set of bumper local elections has thrown Germany, and its government, off balance. Chancellor Friedrich Merz may now be a man on borrowed time. His coalition government is in crisis. But this breakdown of business as usual in Germany has been brewing for years. It's a nation wrestling with new, uncomfortable and unresolved realities.

Read excerpt
Inside a warehouse in a secret location in Germany, thousands of life jackets and dozens of dinghies are stacked on top of each other after being seized in a raid on smuggling gangs.
