1. From that break-in of the Gelsenkirchen bank vault....it now appears that 75-percent of the 3,000 customers with losses....were Turks. Not sure if the break-in guys knew this fact or not.
2. Targeted murder attempt....Dusseldorf.....taxi passenger was shot multiple times in the middle of Düsseldorf (still alive at this point). Guy is some type of Dutch social media influencer.
Minimum of ten shots fired. Other people in the car....unharmed.
Sounds like a mafia-hit job.
3. I watched Sunday night....German series...'Schwarzes Gold'. Six-part series....ARD (Channel 1, public TV)....they ran the first four 45-minute pieces on Sunday night. I have to say....good fictional piece...early 1900s Germany....oil-boom and soap-opera-like story.
I watched the final two episodes last night via media-tech library.
Curiously....lot of Germans tuned in for the first part (45 minutes long)....no commercial break....then they (the network) launched into episode two....with around 5-percent of the viewership flipping the channel (leaving the movie). Episode three went the same way.....episode four went the same way.
Worth watching if you find it.
4. Doctor suggestion going up.....charging consumers 3 Euro each time they visit their clinic/local Doc. You would pay at the desk (in cash).
Not selling well as a concept. I doubt that it's adapted.
5. Environment Minister Schneider (SPD) has come out strongly in favor of banning disposable e-cigarettes.
Reason? He says that the devices are dangerous and harmful to the environment. Consumer and environmental protection groups support his position.
Something that the CDU-CSU folks would support? No one says much.
6. Curious rumor.....EU/UK....talking of a deal where if Russia/Ukraine sign a peace deal....Europeans would volunteer 15,000 troops to be a 'peace-monitor-group'.
