Ahead of state elections on Sept. 1 in the three eastern states of Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg, where the far-right party is leading in the polls, companies say they see the Alternative for Germany as a risk for the region as a place to do business or invest.

STORY: :: Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns Britons 'things will get worse before they get better' :: London, England :: August 27, 2024 :: He says recent anti-migrant riots reflect the divisions built up during the Conservatives' 14 years in power :: Keir Starmer, British Prime Minister "I said change would not happen overnight .When there's a deep rot at the heart of a structure., you can't just cover it up. You can't just tinker or rely on quick fixes." "But these riots didn't happen in a vacuum. They exposed the state of our country, revealed a deeply unhealthy society. The cracks in our foundations laid bare. Weakened by a decade of division and decline infected by a spiral of populism, which fed off cycles of failure of the last government." "That's what we've inherited, not just an economic black hole, a societal black hole. And that's why we have to take action and do things differently. And part of that is being honest with people about the choices that we face, how tough this will be, and frankly, things will get worse before they get better." He made his speech in the Rose Garden at Downing Street, where former prime minister Boris Johnson held one of many parties during COVID lockdowns, events that Starmer said shattered the trust between the public and its politicians. Addressing an audience of people he met during this year's election campaign such as apprentices, teachers, nurses and small business owners, Starmer said change would not happen overnight. But, speaking a week before Britain's parliament returns from a summer break, he said his government was determined to tackle a multitude of problems ranging from overflowing prisons to a shortage of housing and long waiting lists for health services. The former director of public prosecutions was forced to cancel his summer holiday this month to tackle far-right riots that targeted Muslims and migrants. The riots began after the killings of three young girls in northern England was wrongly blamed on a Muslim migrant based on online misinformation. Starmer said the Conservative government's failure to tackle problems, and its focus on the "snake oil" of populism, had widened cracks in society, divisions that would take time to heal.

Democrats and Republicans are bracing for an election that will be narrowly decided as they gear up for the final 10-week sprint in the race between former President Trump and Vice President Harris. Harris’s party has sought to cast themselves as underdogs, even as her entry into the campaign has supercharged Democrats down in the dumps over President Biden’s chances of reelection.

Vice President Harris holds a 7-point edge over former President Trump nationally in a poll released Friday, marking the latest gain for the Democratic presidential candidate as the general election approaches. The survey from from Fairleigh Dickinson University found Harris leading Trump nationally with 50 percent support to 43 percent, while 7 percent of respondents said they will vote for someone else. Trump and Harris fare equally well with voters from their respective party’s, each having 95 percent support from their partisans, pollsters found.
