Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) The far-right Alternative for Germany scored its best-ever result in a state election on Sunday amid growing public discontent with the political establishment, delivering a powerful blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

(2) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Germany of moving toward a direct confrontation with Russia as he criticized Berlin’s decision to close some diplomatic offices after a drone incident at Leipzig airport.

(3) Ukraine is resigned to Russia’s war dragging on through another tough winter and is looking for a “package” from allies that would cover air defense reinforcements as well as energy, including US LNG.

(4) Iran and the US carried out what appeared to be their largest tit-for-tat tanker strikes yet over the weekend, pushing oil prices higher as both nations continue to escalate a six-month war that has disrupted shipping and stoked global inflation.
