Four German News Stories

 1.  'Hart Aber Fair' public forum show (ARD, Channel One, 9PM last night)....was on the topic of affordable housing.  I'll just say two things....first, if you watched it and were 18 years old....it's a pretty dismal situation on being able to buy a house.  Second, no one is suggesting any retreat from the crappy economic mess to own a house.  

2.  Victory in WW II parades going (not in Germany of course).  Big deal in Moscow, and the word is that Putin will make a speech.  There will be some type of ceremonies in Berlin....with the rule that the city has banned Russia flags (in any use).

3.  WELT had a long piece today....talking over the teacher-shortage going on in Germany.  Recruiting efforts even going beyond the German border now.

4.  Nuki Smart door-lock is being marketed in Germany.....no keys required, just your cellphone.  Interesting technology.
