BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Tuesday for a countrywide ban on face-covering veils such as burqas worn by some devout Muslim women, as she made a pitch for her fourth term in next year's elections.Speaking at a conference of her conservative Christian Democratic Union party, Merkel said she would support the ban "wherever possible." She also said last year's migrant crisis that drew about 890,000 refugees to Germany "must never happen again."
