Germanys far-right AfD to expel members over links to militant groups

The political party that made gains in regional polls is defended by its leaders while labelled ‘right-wing extremist’ by Germany’s security services. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party has said it will throw out three of its members who have been arrested on suspicion of having joined an “extremist” paramilitary group.

America Has A Shoplifting Epidemic. The Thieves Aren't Who You Think

Carson’s not sure why he’s never been able to kick his shoplifting habit. It started in his teens, when he and his friends would steal beer, and escalated when the installation of what he describes as “self-checkout silliness” made it easy to buy a couple of things, phantom swipe the rest, and walk out of Walmart with “a huge amount of shit.” In his early 20s, he took a chair from Target by just waltzing out the front door with it. He figured everyone would assume he bought it. Maybe there was a time when he could chalk his behavior up to young-adult antics, but Carson is no longer so young. He’s in his 30s, lives in New York, has a good job at a nonprofit, and he still shoplifts

Malaysias Kelantan wants 100km wall along Thai border to combat smuggling, illegal entry

A Malaysian state bordering Thailand is pushing for the construction of a 100km wall along the frontier to tackle smuggling, control floods and rein in young revellers entering illegally into the neighbouring country. Kelantan deputy chief minister Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said his administration would forward the proposal to the federal government to combat cross-border crime. “If the security forces want to guard the entire border, it is difficult to do so because the Malaysia-Thailand border is very vast,” he said. “The authorities always maintain strict control at the border near this state, but there are many illegal bases that make it difficult to monitor unlawful activities.” The measure was first suggested by Kelantan police chief Mohd Yusoff Mamat who said Malaysian nightlife seekers were parking their vehicles at the state’s
