Then the joint forces of Iraqi army with the Shia militias went in on the ground, and they say they’ve penetrated right into the town, broken the siege, but it’s too dangerous, they are telling us, for us to go there at the moment, because there’s lot of roadside bombs and booby traps left behind by the departing Islamists and the place is not yet deemed safe.”

A new anti-euro party in Germany has for the first time won seats in a regional parliament. Preliminary election results indicate that the Alternative for Germany party has secured about 10% of the vote in the state of Saxony. Damien McGuinness reports from Berlin.

德国一个新的反欧元党派首次在区域议会选举中赢得席位。初步选举结果显示，“德国另类选择党”在萨克森州的选举中赢得了大约10%的选票。Damien McGuinness在柏林报道。

“This is the first time that an anti-euro party has won seats in a German state parliament—big news in a country where support for the European Union is traditionally strong. Its calls for Germany to leave the euro have gone down well with some German taxpayers who say they are fed up paying for EU bailouts. But the party is controversial, accused of catering to nationalist sentiment and attracting right-wing extremists. So, Angela Merkel has ruled out any future coalition with the party on a national level.”

“这是反欧元党派首次在德国州议会选举中赢得席位，对于传统上坚决支持欧盟的国家来说，这是重大新闻。该党派要求德国推出欧元区的呼吁传达给了许多德国纳税人，他们说他们已经厌倦了为欧盟拯救措施埋单。但是该党派具有争议性，被指控迎合国民主义者的情感，吸引右翼极端分子的注意力。所以，安吉拉·默克尔已经排除了继续在全国水平与该党派组成联盟的可能性。”
