🇩🇪 Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme

In a rare move, the respected Der Spiegel news magazine weighed into the debate with a leader titled: “Ban the enemies of the constitution!” 
It warned that “the AfD has become more and more radicalised. It’s time to defend democracy with better weapons”.

The co-leader of Olaf Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats also said a ban should be considered if the AfD is categorised as a group of “proven Right-wing extremists” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

🇲🇱 - Clashes in Northern Mali between Azawad separatists and the Malian government.

🏳️‍🌈 - A recent study found that puberty blockers lowered the IQ of a boy dosed with them by nine points.

🇦🇷 - In yesterday's Argentinian elections, the right-wing Freedom Advances party secured 31.5% of all votes, topping the polls.
The party, led by Javier Milei, is officially a libertarian movement. Nonetheless, Milei has been described as a paleolibertarian and his party's vice-presidential candidate is the daughter of a carapintada (member of a Catholic nationalist group in Argentina's military which attempted to stage several coups in the late 1980s).

🇦🇷 - The center-right Together for Change obtained 29.7% of the vote, while Union for the Fatherland, a center-left group claiming the legacy of former President Juan Perón, secured 28.7%.

These elections do not decide who will be in the Casa Rosada in November - they are a form of open primary, similar to the "jungle primary" in Louisiana.

🇬🇧 - Are the Brits okay?
