Following a Berlin Administrative Court ruling that the government's policy of turning away migrants at the border was illegal, Germany's interior minister has vowed to go to the European Court of Justice.

Also, the roof of the former state operetta building in Dresden, eastern Germany, is at risk of collapse after a major fire.
