Managers have declared "major incidents" at hospitals across England, saying their staff are struggling to cope with patient numbers.

A number of anti-immigration marches took place across Germany last night as part of the 鈥楶egida鈥� movement, with demonstrators protesting against the 鈥業slamification鈥� of their country. Around 18,000 demonstrators took part in a protest in Dresden, but in other German cities such as Berlin and Cologne, the demonstrators were outnumbered by counter-protestors who waved placards with slogans such as 鈥淚 heart immigration鈥�. How do these protests fit into what's going on in German politics at the moment? And are these anti-Islam/anti-immigration protests a sign of the rise of the far right more widely across Europe?

David Anderson QC is Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation.

The convicted rapist was set to join the club on a long-term deal and train with them on Monday, but more than 30,000 people have signed an online petition urging Oldham not to sign him.

Labour has said they will 鈥榢nock on four million doors鈥� over the next five months, in the hope of winning the general election in May.
