AfD's Record Win, Iran Standoff, Monza Miracle

Germany's political map shifted on Sunday as projections showed the far-right AfD winning a record 44% in Saxony-Anhalt's state election, putting it on course to become the first far-right party to govern a German state since the Second World War. Meanwhile, the confrontation between the United States and Iran ground into its second week, with both sides continuing to trade strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's parliament speaker warned Washington to expect a faster and more painful response, and the standoff pushed global oil prices higher. Britain absorbed a run of grim news of its own. In Kent, two cyclists were killed and a third injured when a Ford Focus struck their group on Sunday; two men, 20 and 21, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. In the Channel, rescuers pulled roughly 140 migrants from a single overcrowded dinghy that had set out from Normandy after a ten-hour crossing. And a Jamaican delegation led by Culture Minister Olivia Grange prepared to petition the Privy Council's Judicial Committee with three legal questions about Britain's liability for the slave trade. There was relief on the racetrack too: at Monza, Kimi Antonelli produced one of Formula 1's most dramatic drives, charging from 19th on the grid to win the Italian Grand Prix in front of an ecstatic home crowd, the first Italian to triumph there since 1966.
