1. Day two of the Qatar 'warning' not to stir up a scandal over the money they gave to the Greek EU VP. Front page news on all avenues, and stirring up a good bit of German conversation. Qatar has a product, and if you want to buy that product....you have to avoid scandal chatter.
2. Via N-TV this AM.....around 300 medications which would be on the shelf in most German pharmacies.....are no longer there (meaning short-supply). It's reaching a point of a national crisis, and leads to the problem that there's almost no medication sold in Germany today....that is actually made in Germany (or the EU for that matter)..
3. Someone brought up that most of the salaries of the public TV networks....are above the salary of the Chancellor. This will stir up a fair amount of debate among politicians how this situation developed over the years.
4. Potsdam prosecutor investigating Tesla factory....for opening a plant operation, without a permit. Complaint lodged by the state environmental folks. Fine possible, but it'll drive home the path you have to maintain....if you want to set up a German factory. Just makes more sense to operate in Poland, Hungary or Czech, for production reasons.
5. I noticed this AM that the daily Wiesbaden Corona/Covid report.....indicates that the folks publishing it....will quit the daily report on 1 Jan, and go to a weekly report instead. Deemphasis going on? Well....Covid is just not a page one topic anymore.....probably that way since March.
