Four German News Stories

 1.  What the Stuttgart cops say after the Eritrean riot of Saturday?  228 folks arrested, and most all have Eritrean citizenship.  

It's going to be discussed a good bit over how this conflict has been edging along for the past year or two.  Some are suggesting the violence between the anti-Eritrean group and the pro-Eritrean is reaching a point where people need to be removed from Germany entirely.  

Footnote: population of Eritreans in Germany?  Around 85,000 to 90,000.  

2.  Lufthansa is admitting cancellation of flights is surging and there's a call for passenger 'compensation' going on.....which appears to worry the company a good bit if this occurs.

3.  I noticed out of Focus this AM a curious story.  A Leipzig public school wrote up a requirement for students to attend/participate in a Friday's For The Future demonstration.  Note went to the parents....to detail the necessity.  You could not opt out of it.

4.  Bavaria's Premier-President (Soder, CSU) made a campaign comment that Germany needs a 'limit' on asylum.  Over the weekend, the Interior Minister (Faeser, SPD) said 'no'.....there will be no upper limit.
