1. I talked about the breakage of cable (2 incidents, Germany to Finland, and Lithuania to Sweden) from a day ago.
Well...about a dozen hours ago....the Danish Navy/Coastal Patrol intercepted a Chinese freighter, with a Russian captain....that they believe was responsible for the breakage. Ship has been boarded.....little reported after that point.
2. SPD Party now admitting they have limited open-days on their calendar....to have a meeting and determine who the SPD Chancellor candidate will be for the Feb fed-election.
I would suggest that dragging this out to mid-or-late December is negative for the party. Scholz still believes he's the top-dog for the candidate position.
Just in general, no one really expects at this point for the SPD to win (currently in 3rd place on polling). With Pistorius, they expected a 5-point gain, and safely in 2nd place.
With the numbers required for a coalition....if Scholz remains the candidate....the SPD won't cross more than 16-percent of the vote, and the CDU-CSU would require a 3rd partner (making this a mess).
3. Half-a-meter of snow expected shortly in the states of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg.
4. Around 100 current/former upper-level managers within VW....are suing the car company over cuts in salary/pension.
