German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the wearing of full-faced veils should be prohibited in the country "wherever it is legally possible." At a meeting of her CDU party, she backed a burka ban in schools, courts and other state buildings. It is widely accepted that a total ban would violate Germany's constitution. Merkel was re-elected CDU leader, but faces a tough challenge by the right-wing anti-immigration AfD party in next year's election.
