So it must be true.
Enjoying a nice day at the beach doesn’t mean you’re not starving, after all. Right?
‘We’re not like the Nazis’: Netanyahu said to chide German FM on Gaza ‘famine’ remark – heated exchange reportedly occurs after Annalena Baerbock charges Israel pushing Gaza toward starvation; Germany complains about ‘distorted’ leaks
“Come and see the pictures of the markets in Gaza, the beaches in Gaza, there’s no famine there.”
I know you planned it.
What could it be? It’s a mirage. You’re scheming on a thing, that’s sabotage!
German police arrest two suspected of spying for Russia – German police have arrested two men on suspicion of spying for Russia. The German-Russian nationals are accused of acting as agents for sabotage purposes.
Or at least that’s what they used to call it.
We don’t all smoke weed in Germany, Scholz assures Chinese students – Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday reassured Chinese students in Shanghai that they did not have to smoke cannabis if they studied in Germany and that Germany had legalised cannabis hoping that consumption would go down.
Scholz made the comments in response to a question from a student at Tongji University, who asked whether he would have to smoke cannabis if he studied in Germany, as the drug was not legal in China.
Urged once again. Due to the urgency, I guess.
Well, I’m sure this urge will finally do the trick.
German chancellor urges Chinese industry bosses to play fair in EU market – Olaf Scholz says European cars should have equal access to Chinese customers.
“The only thing that always needs to be clear is that the competition is fair,” he said during a discussion with students at Tongji University in Shanghai. “That means there can be no dumping, no overproduction and that intellectual property rights are not violated,” he said.
He was the author of a January essay that expressed understanding for the Hamas militants who carried out the deadly October 7 raid in Israel that sparked the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
Then understand this.
German police shut down pro-Palestinian conference – Police in the German capital, Berlin, have stopped an event expressing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza war. Authorities said they were concerned over potential antisemitic remarks and glorified violence.
That means unlikely. As in “a recovery of German industry to the level before the war in Ukraine is unlikely.”
Go Green, go… lean.
Germany set to permanently pay for reliance on Russian gas—as power chief says ‘significant structural demand destruction’ means it will never fully recover from energy crisis.
German industry got rich, thanks partly to its close energy trading relationship with political and economic rival Russia. The past few years have shown just how misguided that relationship was, as Russia invaded Ukraine and cut off Germany’s cheap, vital gas supply.
Now, one of Germany’s leading renewable-power bosses has suggested it’s a mistake the country could rue forever, as the fallout from the energy crisis is set to permanently damage its industry.
And this guy didn’t get away with it.
But nice try anyway.
German gallery fires employee for hanging own art in exhibition – A modern art gallery in Germany has fired an employee after discovering the budding artist had hung his own work in an exhibition.
The 51-year-old man had drilled two holes in a wall to mount his painting in Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne.
To come to Berlin, I mean.
Finns are the happiest people on Earth, I’m told. Germans, well, aren’t. And Berliners erst recht nicht (certainly not).
Traveling from Berlin to Helsinki — without using a plane. Flying is a major CO2 emitter when traveling. But how feasible are alternative modes of transportation?
Neither does Olaf Scholz.
In the future, Olaf Scholz will be present on the video platform Tiktok – just like around 21 million mainly young people in Germany every month. But there will be no dance videos from him, he promises...
Tiktok is owned by the Chinese company Bytedance and is suspected of being under the influence of the communist leadership in Beijing and not taking data protection and fake prevention very seriously.
Not.
Everybody knows what’s going on. Just like everybody knows nothing will be done to stop it.
