Three German News Stories

 1.  Focus had a piece this AM....talking over 'worry' in Berlin about these public swimming pool assaults/brawls. It's reached a point where the city political folks want an explanation....why such behavior?

At some point, they kinda noted in a racist way....most of the participants are either Turkish or Arab background, and there's some macho attitudes being displayed.

The problem now is that almost every weekend...some event ends up in the news, and it's deemed a 'political/social' problem.  

2.  That approval by Turkey for Sweden to enter NATO?  Well....it's not said that Turkey doesn't want the approval to really occur until mid-fall.  

3.  New poll show AfD Party growth (now figured at 22-percent).  CDU is at 26-percent.  SPD at 18-percent.  If you had an election today....the SPD-led coalition would marginally get 40-percent.  Numbers frustrating the political landscape.
