1. Top sport news....German national basketball team won the 'World Cup' series (over Serbia).
2. Drama playing out in German soccer, lot of hype to exit the coach (Flick) and 'fix/repair' the team.
3. Some German scientists discovered that cows are happy to 'live' in stables, rather than in fields.
Just a humble feeling, but I think they hate rain and lightning.
4. Gotthard Tunnel (just over the German border into Switzerland, 15 km long) was closed yesterday. No reasons given so far.
5. Luis Rubiales (head of Spanish soccer federation) has resigned over this kiss-scandal business from 3 weeks ago.
6. Anne Will Show (prime public forum for Sunday evenings on ARD, Chanel One) had the topic last night of the Aiwanger-scandal deal from Bavaria.
I probably watched about 12 minutes of it. Bit I watched was over the reporter from the Suddeutsche Zeitung.....newspaper that hyped up 40-year old term paper for the FW-Voter Party 'boss'. Fair amount of criticism was dumped on the guy....he responded in some way that it was a fair criticism to dump on Aiwanger.
I'll just say that it's a hyped-up thing in Bavaria. Most non-Bavarians don't have that much interest in this stuff.
7. Micheal Hofling wrote an excellent piece for WELT....centered on the new heat-pump law passed last week. Highly recommend a read if you can find a copy of the article.
He points out....there's a long list of 'losers' as the bill was passed, and this won't be a pleasant thing where the SPD-Green-FDP coalition gets a pat on the back.
8. For the war news....just odd, the head boss of tank manufacturing says that an order for more T-80 series tanks is likely to occur. Might occur, but I wonder where the manpower will come from (imported North Korean help?).
