19 July 2024: Five German News Stories

 1.  Some kind of weird attack during Wednesday evening.  This was on autobahn A3 at a rest-stop near Bad Honnef (northern Germany).

What the cops say.... a married couple got attacked and seriously wounded....in a knife attack.

Husband and wife....in their early 50s...had stopped the camper.  Several folks came up and attacked them.

Some truck driver at the rest-stop....filmed the whole thing.

Cops say in some fashion....attackers and the couple knew each other.  Investigation by police ongoing.

2.  Statistical data collection by newspaper BILD....shows larger urbanized cities in Germany are having more robberies.

3.  Heat wave for today and Saturday....getting up to 31 C (89 F).  But come Sunday....we drop five degrees to cool off, and stay at that level for the next days.  Just a really odd summer.

4.  Russia made a statement.....discussing arming/activating it's nuclear missiles because of this US/Germany agreement to put cruise missiles back into Germany.  

5.  German building permits are in a serious decline....about 50-percent of what occurred in 2022.
