1. Just odd....ARD (public TV, Channel One) did a live one-on-one prime-time interview (moderator Tina Hassel and the new Defense Minister....Boris Pistorius) last night.
They got through the first half of this 15-minute interview....Pistorius was doing very well....then some technical glitch occurred in the studio, and the remaining big question that Hassel wanted to ask....what of the Pistorius chat with Ukraine's PM....never got answered.
Maybe just luck....maybe a timed glitch. Hard to say.
2. Soccer news: Rudi Voller moves up to the chief of the DFB....national soccer league headquarters.
3. Over the last day or two....several police raids in my local region of Hessen....against Covid test-centers that were doing a fraudulent test business.
4. N-24/Welt piece: German federal gov't having to admit they are sitting on around 1-billion Euro of Covid masks....sitting in warehouses/depots around the country. Very likely they will never be used.
5. Major demonstrations in France yesterday....against pension/retirement reform. More than 1-million people came out.
6. Aldi (the German grocery chain) has been running a test-grocery (the mini-store type) up in Utrecht, Netherlands. After six months, it's a bit odd to admit....almost no customer came in to use it.
7. Ukraine's PM (Zelenskyj) made a BS statement yesterday....suggesting that Putin's appearances are being accomplished by stand-in's or body-doubles. The trouble here....even 50-percent of Russians will suspect this is true.
