Germany's parliament, the Bundestag, has voted to introduce voluntary military service. It’s a move aimed at boosting national defences after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It marks a significant shift in Germany's approach to its military and follows Chancellor Friedrich Merz's push to create Europe's strongest conventional army. Students at schools across Germany have said they will join strikes in as many as 90 cities on Friday to protest against the move.
