Germany remembers Kristallnacht


Germany is preparing to mark the 70th anniversary of the Nazi-inspired Kristallnacht riots, amid warnings of a rise in far-right sentiment.

A ceremony will be held at Berlin's largest synagogue with a classical and pop concert held later in the day.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on the country to fight racism and anti-Semitism "with determination".
