1. Berlin authorities say they will have 4,000 police on-duty for tonight's expected troubles. Prosecution folks put on duty....will immediately hand out paperwork upon arrest....to face judges within days.
Is there risk in Berlin for tonight? In some neighborhoods....yes.
2. Jacques Schuster wrote an interesting piece for WELT this AM....talking over the subject that one day (maybe not that far away)....the US will exercise itself to leave Europe. In this new world....he suggests that a bigger responsibility will be put upon security/protection from Russia. Worth reading if you can find the article.
3. Some chatter in Berlin of creating a new outer ring for rail-service (against what already exists). Would be a massive and expensive project, but connect people who've given up on city life and live 5 km outside of the city outer-ring.
4. Data from the Bahn (railway) folks for 2023....going long-distance (Berlin-to-Hamburg for example)....one out of three travelers will not arrive on time (meaning a minimum of 30 minutes late).
I don't think most folks care that much about 30 minutes added to the trip. It's when you start talking about two hours late....that frustration gets uttered.
