Far-right European Parliament group expels Germany's AfD after SS remark
The far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) group in the European Parliament said on Thursday it had decided to expel the Alternative for Germany's (AfD) delegation, weeks before elections to the assembly. The decision follows comments made by Maximilian Krah, the AfD's lead candidate in the elections, to an Italian newspaper at the weekend that the Nazi's Waffen SS were "not all criminals". "The ID Group no longer wants to be associated with the incidents involving Maximilian Krah, head of the AfD list for the European elections," the ID group said in a statement.

Dangerous brew: Ocean heat and La Nina combo likely mean more Atlantic hurricanes this summer
Get ready for what nearly all the experts think will be one of the busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record, thanks to unprecedented ocean heat and a brewing La Nina. There's an 85% chance that the Atlantic hurricane season that starts in June will be above average in storm activity, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday in its annual outlook. The weather agency predicted between 17 and 25 named storms will brew up this summer and fall, with 8 to 13 achieving hurricane status (at least 75 mph sustained winds) and four to seven of them becoming major hurricanes, with at least 111 mph winds.
