Germany (AfD) party in the state of Thuringia, Björn Höcke, will face trial for his alleged use of a banned Nazi slogan.

The use of Nazi symbols or propaganda outside educational and historical contexts is banned in Germany.

It is alleged that Höcke knowingly used a motto of the SA, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party, at a speech in May 2021.

The accusation is that he ended his speech with the phrase "Everything for Germany," knowing that this phrase was forbidden as one often used by the SA.

The Indian government appears to be considering a change in the nation’s official name, with “Bharat” – from Sanskrit – emerging as the alternative, even appearing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s G20 dinner invites for later this month. 

The resolution would change the name in the Indian constitution from “India, that is Bharat” to the “Republic of Bharat” and is likely to be introduced in the Indian parliament during the upcoming special session scheduled from September 18-22. 

The resolution needs to obtain a majority in both houses of the nation’s parliament before the government can amend the constitution.
