The man due to become Germany's next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has issued a stark warning to Europe that the United States has become indifferent to the continent's fate and it must become independent. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) had a record second-place result of 20.8%. We're in Berlin to cover the election result. Also in the programme: On the third anniversary of Russia's full- scale invasion of Ukraine, we speak to a member of parliament who is also a soldier; and the winners of the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
