Six German News Stories

 1.  European Song Contest occurred last night (NO, I didn't watch it....watched the highlight clips this AM).  Germany as usual, came up with zero points. Sweden was the winner.  

I will recommend....via YouTube, you should look up Croatia's ESC 'band', and watch it.  Weirdest stuff I've seen in twenty years.  

2.  Focus had a piece this AM....talking about gov't regulations being created....to cripple the use of fireplaces, on the account of 'dust'.  Environmentalists leading this.  Bringing more people to oppose the Green Party in elections.

3.  Chatter from across the border in Denmark.....they will now consider new nuclear energy plants.  

4.  Election in Turkey today.....anyone's guess who will win.  I think even some of the pro-Erdogan folks think it's time for him to move on (retire). 

5.  That big train strike planned for Monday?  Averted.....deal accepted.

6.  Lukashenko of Belorussia (PM).....is in the hospital after his visit to Moscow.  Gut pains of some type.  Just a wild guess....gallbladder.  Some folks in Belorussia might suspect that he was poisoned.
