German New Stories

 1.  This AM, the coalition is saying now for the government that a third 'relief' package is being prepared for the public....in anticipation of more recession 'hurt'.

The deal?  Still clouded up, but it appears that retirees and students will get some type of benefit.  It also appears that regulations will be written to give out a 9-Euro monthly public trans ticket some possibility of existing (don't count it being 9-Euro though).  And there appears to be some tax relief being written, but no one says over what. 

More demonstrations likely?  Oh, I'd bet within thirty days, you start to see Saturday protest 'walks' as a normal thing in major cities.  

Details?  To be announced by 11 AM this morning (Sunday) in Germany.

2.  More political chatter within the CDU/CSU parties over the nuke plant closures?  Yeah....with the head of the CDU Party (Merz) suggesting (from yesterday) that blackouts will become routine unless they keep the three remaining plants on-line into 2023.

3.  Via WELT, the German intelligence agency (BND) announced that there are zero indicators to show Putin about to be pushed out of the Kremlin.

4.  WELT article this morning announcing first Germans with long-term Covid being given permanent disability via insurance companies.  

5.  N-TV item from this morning's news....covering Russian demoralization.  The British military have looked at developments and say that the common conscript is not getting paid what he is owed....uniforms are now an issue...weapons and ammo are ify, and food is reaching a serious negative status.
