Five German News Stories

 1.  Lot of hyped-up negativity about Germany having lost the soccer game last night (2-0, Columbia win).  Rumors starting up that the coach may be fired.

I should note, at the beginning of the game....two Last Generation activists rushed onto the field and tried to chain themselves to the goal post. 

2.  Thursday weather warnings being given....potential for tornadoes being talked about.

3.  The state of Baden-Wurttemberg did a fitness survey with daycare and elementary school kids.  Kids in the state are still considered the most fit....of any German state, however....they say that Covid has caused problems that still linger today.  Roughly 30,000 kids in the state took part in the test.

4.  WELT had a piece on things being identified as 'right-wing' or extremist.  Oddly....carrying a kid in a sling (like you see mothers do on the street), or breast-feeding a kid...is now being suggested as 'right-wing'.  Writer of the article suggests this weird view is confused.

5.  N-TV piece this AM....talking over Nord Stream II explosion...saying that there was relatively a small amount of explosive material used to blow it up.
