German police officers control id documents of passengers on a long distance bus on the German/French border in Kehl, western Germany, on September 16, 2024. Germany will from September 16, 2024 expand border controls to the frontiers with all its nine neighbours to stop irregular migrants in a move that has sparked protests from other EU members. Berlin announced the sweeping measure following a string of deadly extremist attacks that have stoked public fears and boosted support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
