Five German News Stories: Saturday

 1.  German embassy and consulate operations in Georgia and Kazakhstan  a large number of Russians showing up and asking for asylum.  Appointments are full for the next week.

Germany has openly discussed the idea of a policy on Russians who ask for asylum....although nothing has been said much in public.

2. Putin, in some weird commentary, accuses Europe of Satanism.  Can't figure the context of the idea and where he got the 'brand'.

3  For those who might have been stationed around Frankfurt in 1960s-1970s-1980s....the Binding Brewery has shut-down in the city.  A second brewery in Offenbach still operates....for the time being.

4.  Lot of hype about heat not being turned on yet in German schools.  Focus carried an article about this issue.

State, by state.....things are done differently on the use of heat in schools.  

5.  This past week, the Chancellor (Scholz) had Covid.  He was holding out in his Bundestag office area (40 square meters), with meals brought to him.
