1. Last night's 'Hard But Fair' public forum show (ARD, public tv)....the topic was....lot of Germans are pulling home-duty....caring for a relative...on their own. Numbers? Gov't suggests 10-million are caring for 'someone' in Germany. So....reform chatter going on....that you should get 'paid' something for this duty. Gov't says....they don't have the cash to cover this idea.
2. Kehlsteinhaus/'Eagle's Nest'....debate starting up over re-construction (after the fire). One part of the story...local region has this as a attraction....with around 350,000 tourists coming up yearly to see the site. No one wants to really say 'rebuild-the-Nazi-site'.
3. Sale of micro-cars booming....up 80-percent over 3 years. Max speed, 45 kph.
4. Lot of hostility over Audi opening a US plant.
5. Who will succeed Federal President Steinmeier in January? Virtually all of the parties are lining up their candidate, and it's about a 99-percent chance that it will be a woman.
