1. If you were looking for a good daily source on war-news (German prospective), I advocate N-TV. Click here, and ensure your browser (preferably Chrome), will translate. They update the page throughout the day. Each midnight, they start fresh.
2. It did interest me....the EU put the head of the Russian Orthodox Church on a sanctions list.
3. I talked about that odd story.....guy on the street in Mannheim (Monday) that the cops wanted to ID check, and he got all bothered by this.....causing the police to use 'force'. Then within minutes, the guy died?
Well....report today says the guy had a heart attack. Course, it doesn't absolve the police of anything, but the guy seemed pretty determined not to ID himself (note German law.....anytime the police stop you for an ID....you must provide it).
4. This three-month deal with the nine-Euro-a-month for the regional train-bus ticket deal? Well....it's not guaranteed yet (was supposed to come up on 1 June).
Apparently, some consumer group is fighting the government and saying this is not the best use of funding/effort.
If you asked me on the deal....I'd say it might be worth the money, but you can't use it for ICE-travel (high-speed rail) and locally, it'll fill up trains a good bit (to make a miserable trip).
