Five German News Stories

 1.  Russian uniform shortage reported.  From what I read....as these reservists were activated and brought into 'centers' to prepare for the front.....there were supposed to be 1.5-million uniforms ready to go (likely bought over the past several years).

Well...the uniforms aren't there.

There's an audit being done, and it appears that someone ran-off with the uniforms.  Selling them to various African countries?  I would imagine the uniforms were sold 50-percent the original cost, and flown out.  The guy who made the deals?  He's probably gone now.

Getting new uniforms?  It's possible but you'd have to task China and it's probably going to take a month to come up with quarter-million uniforms.

2.  My local bank (the one that had the gang blow up the ATM in a robbery attempt) has vowed to be back in operation (massive construction and renovation required) by the last day of October.  It's a remarkable amount of destruction that occurred.

3.  The Anne Will Show (public forum, ARD, 9:45 PM, last night)?

Topic was the energy worry.  

I\d say that if you watched until the end....on public forum chatty-nature, it probably led you to be awful worried about this winter, and the financial impact upon your situation in life.  I'd almost suggest to Germans not to watch it.....because of the hint of great of great impact.

4.  Some family 'fight' in a Berlin refugee center....wife is dead.  N-TV says it was a Ukrainian family argument, with the woman murdered in the end (stabbed).  The two kids were apparently witnesses to the murder.

5.  Turkey's inflation rate?  85-percent (highest in 24 years).
