From Morning Report, 6:17 am on 25 October 2017

The nationalist party, Alternative for Germany, has taken its seats in the German parliament, the Bundestag. It's the first time in more than fifty years that a far-right party has a presence. Alternative for Germany won 12 percent of the vote making it the third largest party. Berlin correspondent Ira Spitzer tells us while it won't be in the ruling coalition, the party's mere presence is causing consternation.
