Five German News Stories

 1.  The German Foreign Secretary has had bad luck with the national plane she uses.  Major breakdown while visiting the Gulf region.  Plane is a Airbus A340.  It was down for 48 hours....waiting on maintenance....then was supposed to leave for Australia.  That repair didn't go well....so it's still 'down'.  Lot of bad luck.

2.  Last Generation activists were attempting to sneak into the VW factory in Wolfsburg.  They screwed up and were caught by plant employees before they could glue themselves to anything.  

3.  Mount Etna is spewing lava.....Italy's Catania Airport is closed down right now because of this. 

4.WELT piece: Around 33-percent of Germans (by INSA survey) have said they've considered voting or have voted for AfD Party.  Probably shocked a lot of journalists.

5. German cops still investigating Nord Stream II explosion?  Yeah, and they give no indication that they are near an end.
