Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila says the governing coalition cannot continue after one of the parties chose as its leader an ultra-nationalist.

Finland's governing coalition is on the verge of collapse after an anti-immigration hardliner was picked as leader of one of the coalition parties. Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila says his coalition can't continue to govern with the Eurosceptic Finns party, which is now led by Jussi Halla-aho, who has been convicted of hate speech for anti-Islamic and anti-Somali comments on his blog.
