Auch in der britischen Hauptstadt könnte sich das Gleichgewicht auf dem Immobilienmarkt ohne eine weitere Expansion des aggressiven Startups spürbar veschieben. Unter anderem ist WeWork Hauptmieter, in einem im vergangenen Jahr vom Sparkassen-Fondsanbieter Deka für knapp 100 Millionen Euro gekauften Bürohaus im Zentrum der Finanzmetropole.

In the British capital as well, the balance in the real estate market could be notably delayed without the further expansion of the aggressive startup. Among other things, WeWork is the main tenant of an office building in the center of the financial metropolis that was bought by the savings bank fund provider Deka for almost 100 million euros.

In the British capital, too, balance could significantly shift without the aggressive startup expanding further. WeWork is the main tenant in an office block in the middle of the financial center, bought last year by the savings bank fund provider Deka for around 100 million euros.


Viele Vermieter haben ihre Immobilien für die Anforderungen von WeWork mit hohen Investitionen umgebaut. Scheitert WeWork damit, sein Geschäftsmodell bald profitabel zu machen, müssten die Immobilienbesitzer einen Teil der erhofften Milliardeneinnahmen wohl abschreiben. Zugriff auf die - ohnehin knappen - Reserven von WeWork haben sie trotz der langfristigen Mietverträge nicht. Denn die Anmietung der einzelnen Standorte von WeWork erfolgt in der Regel durch jeweils extra gegründete Tochtergesellschaften, sogenannte Special Purpose Vehicles, für die die Muttergesellschaft nur in engen Grenzen haftet.

Many landlords have invested dearly in refurbishing their real estate to meet WeWork's requirements. If WeWork fails to make its business model profitable soon, real estate owners will probably have to write off part of the billions in revenues they had hoped for. Despite long-term lease agreements, they have no access to WeWork's reserves, although these are scarce. Because WeWork's individual locations are normally leased by founding extra subsidiaries known as "Special Purpose Vehicles" for which the parent company is liable only within narrow limits.

Many landlords have invested heavily in remodeling their properties in line with WeWork requirements. Should WeWork fail to make its business model profitable soon, the property owners would be forced to write off part of their hoped-for billions in earnings. Regardless, access to the (in any case) tight WeWork reserves is not open to them; the leasing of individual locations by WeWork normally occurs via specially founded subsidiaries (so-called special purpose vehicles) with parent company liability only within narrow bounds.


Russland nahm erneut zahlreiche nordkoreanische Fischer fest

Russia arrested numerous North Korean fishermen again

Russia Once More Arrests Numerous Fishermen From North Korea


Die russische Küstenwache ist erneut gegen nordkoreanische Fischer vorgegangen. In den vergangenen Tagen seien insgesamt weitere 262 Wilderer festgenommen worden, die in den Gewässern illegal gefischt hätten, teilte der russische Inlandsgeheimdienst FSB der Agentur Interfax zufolge am Freitag mit.

The Russian coastal guard has once more taken action against North Korean fishermen. In recent days, a further 262 poachers have been arrested for fishing illegally in these waters, the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB is reputed to have informed the Interfax agency on Friday.

The Russian coast guard again cracked down on North Korean fishermen. In the past few days, a further 262 poachers fishing illegally in Russian waters have been arrested, the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB said on Friday, according to the agency Interfax.


Erst vor zehn Tagen wurden 161 Fischer aus Nordkorea festgenommen. Zuvor waren die Grenzschützer beschossen und drei von ihnen verletzt worden. Diesmal habe es keine Verletzten gegeben, hieß es. Das kommunistische Nordkorea leidet unter chronischem Nahrungsmittelmangel.

161 North Korean fishermen had been arrested only ten days previously. Before that, the border guards had been shot at and three of them had been injured. But this time there had been no wounded, according to reports. Communist North Korea suffers from a chronic food shortage.

Only ten days ago, 161 fishermen from North Korea were arrested. The border guards had been fired upon, and three of them were injured. There were none injured this time, they said. Communist North Korea suffers from chronic food shortages.


Die nordkoreanischen Fischer waren demnach in russischen Hoheitsgewässern unterwegs. Dort fährt die Küstenwache Russlands nach eigenen Angaben zum Schutz ihrer meeresbiologischen Ressourcen Patrouillen. Bei den erneuten Kontrollen seien 30.000 Tintenfische entdeckt worden. Außerdem wurden den Angaben nach drei Fischer- und zwei Motorboote beschlagnahmt und nach Nachodka und Posjet bei Wladiwostok gebracht. Der Agentur Ria Nowosti zufolge stellte die Küstenwache 2018 insgesamt mehr als 8.000 Verstöße fest

For that reason, the North Korean fishermen were underway in Russian waters. The Russian coast guard reports that it patrols these waters in order to protect Russia's maritime biological resources. New controls had found 30,000 octopi. Also, three trawlers and two motor boats are reported to have been confiscated and taken to Nakhodka and Posyet near Vladivostok. For 2018 the coastal guard confirmed over 8,000 violations to the Ria Nowosti agency.

The North Korean fishermen were sailing in Russian territorial waters. The Russian coast guard patrols the area to protect their marine biological resources. They found 30,000 squid during new inspections. Additionally, three fishing boats and two motorboats were confiscated and shipped to Nakhodka and Posyet near Vladivostok. According to the agency Ria Nowosti, the coast guard recorded more than 8,000 violations in 2018.


Die russische Fischereibehörde hatte auch nach Klagen einheimischer Unternehmer heuer keine Fanglizenzen an die Nordkoreaner ausgegeben. Tausende Fischer aus Nordkorea sind Medien zufolge 2019 dort schon zeitweise festgenommen worden.

Following complaints from Russian companies, this year Russia's fishing authority issued no fishing licenses to the North Koreans. According to media reports, in 2019 thousands of fishermen from North Korea have been detained in Russia.

This year, the Russian fishing authorities had not issued any fishing licenses to North Koreans, after complaints by local businessmen. In 2019, thousands of fishers from North Korea have already been temporarily arrested, according to media reports.


Der Chef der Vereinigung russischer Fischerei-Unternehmen in der fernöstlichen Region Primorje, Georgi Martynow, beklagte kürzlich auch hohe ökologische Schäden durch die nordkoreanischen Fischer. Sie fischten mit in Russland verbotenen engmaschigen synthetischen Netzen. Mit diesen würden auch kleine Lebewesen aus dem Meer geholt. Zudem würden die Netze einfach im Meer entsorgt, wo sie 200 Jahre bräuchten, um zersetzt zu werden. Auch die Schiffe selbst entsprächen nicht den hygienischen und technischen Vorschriften.

Georgiy Martinov, head of the association of Russian fishing enterprises in the Primorye region in the far east, also complained recently about high environmental damage caused by the North Korean fishermen. They had used tightly-meshed synthetic nets which are banned in Russia. They had also used these to fish tiny creatures from the sea. Moreover, the nets had simply been disposed of in the sea, where it would take 200 years for them to disintegrate. Even the boats they used did not correspond to the hygienic and technical standards required.

Georgi Martynov, head of the Association of Russian Fishing Companies in the far eastern region of Primorsky Krai, complained recently of the high ecological damages caused by North Korean fishermen. They used close-meshed synthetic fishing nets, banned in Russia. These nets also pull small animals out of the sea. Furthermore, they simply disposed of the nets in the sea, where they take 200 years to decompose. The ships themselves did not meet hygiene and technical requirements either.


Bei den Festnahmen in der Vorwoche waren nach Angaben Moskaus drei Mitglieder der russischen Küstenwache verletzt worden. Ein ebenfalls verwundeter Nordkoreaner starb dem FSB zufolge später an seinen Verletzungen. An jenem 17. September setzten russische Grenzschützer zunächst ein nordkoreanisches Boot fest und anschließend ein zweites, nachdem dieses das Feuer eröffnet hatte.

Moscow reported that during the arrests in the previous week three Russian coastal guards had been injured. A North Korean who was also injured is reported by FSB to have later died of his injuries. On this day of September 17th, Russian border guards seized a North Korean boat and subsequently another boat that had opened fire.

During the arrests the week before, three members of the Russian coast guard had been injured, according to Moscow. An injured North Korean later died of his wounds, according to the FSB. On September 17, Russian border guards first detained a North Korean boat and subsequently a second one after it opened fire on them.


USA verhängen Einreiseverbot gegen Ex-Präsident Castro

USA Issues a Travel Ban Against Ex-President Castro

US Imposes Entry Ban on Former President Castro


Die USA haben gegen den früheren kubanischen Präsidenten Raúl Castro und seine Kinder Einreiseverbote verhängt. Das amerikanische Aussenministerium begründete das in einer Mitteilung am Donnerstag mit Castros Beteiligung an "groben Menschenrechtsverletzungen". Als Chef der Kommunistischen Partei des Karibikstaates stehe er einem System vor, in dem Tausende Kubaner willkürlich festgenommen würden und es mehr als 100 politische Gefangene gebe.

The USA has issued travel bans against the former Cuban President Raúl Castro and his children. On Thursday, the American State Department justified this in an announcement citing Castro's participation in "severe human rights violations." As head of the Communist party of the Caribbean nation, he presided over a system in which thousands of Cubans were deliberately arrested and there were more than one hundred political prisoners.

The US has imposed entry bans on former Cuban President Raúl Castro and his children. In a statement issued on Thursday, the US State Department justified this with Castro’s involvement in “gross violations of human rights”. As the head of the Communist Party of the Caribbean state, he presided over a system in which thousands of Cubans were being arrested arbitrarily, with over 100 political prisoners.


Als Vorsitzender der Streitkräfte sei der Bruder des gestorbenen Revolutionsführers Fidel Castro zudem durch das Stützen des Präsidenten Venezuelas, Nicolás Maduro, an Menschenrechtsverletzungen dort mitschuldig. "Die Missachtung der Menschenrechte und der Gebrauch von Gewalt durch das kubanische Regime, um das frühere Maduro-Regime zu stützen, sind für die andauerenden Krisen auf Kuba und in Venezuela verantwortlich", twitterte der amerikanische Aussenminister Mike Pompeo.

As the commander of the armed forces, the brother of the deceased revolutionary leader Fidel Castro shared the blame for human rights violations in Venezuela as well, where he was supported by its President, Nicolás Maduro. "The abuse of human rights and the use of force by the Cuban regime to support the former Maduro regime are responsible for the continuing crises in Cuba and Venezuela," tweeted the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.

Furthermore, as head of the armed forces, the brother of the late revolutionary leader Fidel Castro was an accomplice to human rights violations in Venezuela by supporting the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. “The disregard of human rights and the use of force by the Cuban regime to support the former Maduro regime are responsible for the continuing crises in Cuba and Venezuela,” tweeted the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.


Präsident Donald Trump hatte am Mittwoch Einreiseverbote unter anderen gegen Angehörige der venezolanischen Regierung und des Militärs ausgesprochen. In Venezuela tobt seit Monaten ein erbitterter Machtkampf zwischen der Regierung und der Opposition. Die USA haben eine ganze Reihe von Sanktionen gegen Maduros Regierung verhängt, um ihn in die Knie zu zwingen und dem Oppositionsführer und selbsternannten Interimspräsidenten Juan Guaidó zur Macht zu verhelfen.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued travel bans against members of the Venezuelan government and military, among others. In Venezuela, a bitter power struggle between the government and the opposition has raged for months. The USA has imposed a series of sanctions against Maduro's government to bring him to his knees and to help the leader of the opposition and self-appointed interim president, Juan Guaidó, to come to power.

Kuba gilt als einer der engsten Verbündeten Maduros. Die sozialistische Karibikinsel erhält von Venezuela Öl im Austausch für die Dienste entsandter Ärzte. Nach Einschätzung der USA und der venezolanischen Opposition hat Kuba zudem zahlreiche Geheimdienstagenten nach Venezuela entsandt, um der Regierung bei der Unterdrückung von Regierungsgegnern zu helfen.

Cuba is one of Maduro's closest allies. The socialist Caribbean island receives oil from Venezuela in exchange for the service of dispatched doctors. The USA and the Venezuelan opposition believe Cuba has also sent numerous secret service agents to Venezuela to help the government suppress its opponents.

New Climate Protests by Fridays for Future


Eine Woche nach den bislang größten internationalen Klimaprotesten wollen heute erneut Abertausende von Menschen für mehr Klimaschutz auf die Straße gehen.

One week after the biggest international climate protests to date, thousands of people again want to take to the streets for the sake of better climate protection.

One week after the largest climate protests ever, thousands of people aim to take to the streets today for more climate protection.


Zum Abschluss einer internationalen Klimastreikwoche plant die Bewegung Fridays for Future erneut Aktionen und Kundgebungen in Dutzenden Ländern weltweit. Den Anfang dürften wegen der Zeitverschiebung Neuseeland und Australien machen, ehe sich die Proteste über Europa bis nach Nordamerika ziehen. Dort wollte Klimaaktivistin Greta Thunberg an einer Großkundgebung im kanadischen Montreal teilnehmen. Auch vor dem Weißen Haus in Washington wollten sich Demonstranten versammeln.

To conclude an international week of climate strikes, Fridays for Future is planning further events and rallies in dozens of countries. Because of the different time zones, the protests are to start in New Zealand and Australia before spreading to North America via Europe. There, climate activist Greta Thunberg is to attend a mass rally in Montreal, Canada. The demonstrators also plan to gather in front of the White House in Washington.

For the conclusion of an international climate strike week, the Fridays for Future movement is once again planning campaigns and rallies in dozens of countries worldwide. They will most likely start in New Zealand and Australia, due to time differences, and then continue across Europe to North America, where climate activist Greta Thunberg intends to participate in a mass rally in Montreal. Demonstrators also aim to gather in front of the White House in Washington.


Wie groß der weltweite Zuspruch an diesem Freitag nach der Rekordbeteiligung der Vorwoche sein wird, ist relativ unklar. Thunberg selbst war guter Dinge. "Letzten Freitag haben über vier Millionen Menschen für das Klima gestreikt. Diesen Freitag machen wir es noch einmal!", schrieb sie auf Twitter. Bislang habe es im Rahmen der Streikwoche 6383 Aktionen in 170 Ländern gegeben, ergänzte sie.

It is not quite clear how large the worldwide response will be after last week's record attendance. Thunberg herself was optimistic. "Over four million people went on strike for the climate last Friday. This Friday we'll do it again," she tweeted. So far there have been 6,383 protests in 170 countries during the strike week, she added.

Following the record participation last week, it remains unclear how high worldwide response will be this Friday. Thunberg herself remained optimistic. “Last Friday over 4 million people striked for the climate. This Friday we do it again!” she wrote on Twitter, adding, “170 countries and 6383 events so far in #weekforfuture.”


Besonders in Deutschland war der Zulauf vergangenen Freitag sehr groß. Ein gutes Drittel aller weltweiten Demonstranten - rund 1,4 Millionen - hatten sich nach Schätzungen von Fridays for Future in 575 deutschen Städten an den Protesten beteiligt. Diesmal sind einer Auflistung der Bewegung zufolge Kundgebungen in mindestens 65 Städten geplant. Darunter in Metropolen wie Berlin, Hamburg, München und Köln, aber auch in kleineren Gemeinden und Städten wie Jüchen in Nordrhein-Westfalen oder Westerland auf Sylt wollen die Menschen für das Klima auf die Straße gehen.

In Germany, the response last Friday was particularly big. Fridays for Future estimates that one third of all worldwide protesters—about 1.4 million people—gathered in 575 German cities. This time, demonstrations are planned in at least 65 cities, according to a list compiled by the protest movement. People intend to take to the streets for the climate not just in large cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne but also in smaller towns and districts such as Jüchen in North Rhine-Westphalia and Westerland in Sylt.

In Germany in particular, the protests were very popular. A good third of all demonstrators around the world – approximately 1.4 million – participated in 575 German cities. A list by the movement shows that rallies are planned in at least 65 cities this time. People are aiming to take to the streets for the climate both in large cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, as well as in smaller towns and cities such as Jüchen in North Rhine-Westphalia or Westerland on Sylt.


Im Alter von damals 15 Jahren hatte sich Thunberg im August 2018 vor das schwedische Parlament gesetzt, um die Politiker ihres Landes zu einem stärkeren Einsatz für den Klimaschutz aufzufordern. Daraus ist innerhalb kurzer Zeit die Fridays-for-Future-Bewegung entstanden. An den Klimaprotesten beteiligen sich vor allem Schüler und Studierende, aber in zunehmendem Maße auch Wissenschaftler und andere Erwachsene.

In August 2018, at the age of 15, Thunberg sat in front of the Swedish parliament to demand that her country's politicians take stronger action on climate protection. Out of this, Fridays for Future was soon born. It was mostly pupils and students who took part in the climate protests, but scientists and other adults also participated increasingly.

Last August, at the age of 15, Thunberg sat down in front of the Swedish parliament to call for stronger action on climate protection by the politicians in her country. Within a short period of time, this turned into the Fridays for Future movement. Participants in the climate protests are mostly schoolchildren and students, but increasingly also scientists and other adults.


Gemeinsam fordern sie von der Politik mehr Ehrgeiz im Kampf gegen die Erderhitzung und die drohende Klimakatastrophe. Vor allem müsse gemäß dem Pariser Klimaabkommen die globale Erwärmung auf unter 1,5 Grad im Vergleich zur vorindustriellen Zeit eingedämmt werden.

Together they are demanding greater commitment from politicians in the struggle against global warming and the impending climate disaster. In particular, according to the Paris climate agreement, global warming must be kept to less than 1.5 degrees compared to the pre-industrial age.

Together they demand that politicians step up their fight against global warming and the threat of a climate catastrophe. In particular, global warming needs to be limited to less than 1.5 degrees in comparison to pre-industrial times, as specified in the Paris climate agreement.


Thunberg war vor knapp einem Monat nach einem zweiwöchigen Transatlantik-Törn mit einer Hochsee-Rennjacht in New York angekommen. Dort hatte sie zuletzt an Klimaprotesten und Gipfeln der Vereinten Nationen teilgenommen. Am Montag hielt sie bei den UN eine emotionale Rede, in der sie den Staats- und Regierungschefs der Erde eindringlich ins Gewissen redete. In ihrer Heimat Stockholm war ihr am Mittwoch für ihren Einsatz für mehr Klimaschutz der Alternative Nobelpreis der Right Livelihood Stiftung zugesprochen worden.

Almost one month ago, Thunberg arrived in New York aboard an ocean-going racing yacht following a two-week transatlantic trip. There, she finally attended climate protests and UN summits. At the United Nations on Monday, she delivered an emotional speech in which she appealed to the consciences of state and government leaders. In her home city of Stockholm on Wednesday, she received the alternative Nobel prize from the Right Livelihood Foundation for her engagement for greater climate protection.

Kunden der Tatverdächtigen sollen unter anderem die Betreiber des weltweit zweitgrößten Darknet-Marktplatzes für Drogen, "Wall Street Market", gewesen sein - den hatten Ermittler im Frühjahr zerschlagen. Auch der Angriff auf 1,25 Millionen Telekom-Router Ende November 2016 wurde laut Generalstaatsanwaltschaft über einen Server im Cyberbunker gesteuert.

The suspects' customers were allegedly the operators of the second-largest darknet marketplace for drugs in the world, "Wall Street Market," which investigators broke up early in the year. And the attack on 1.25 million telecom routers at the end of November 2016 was controlled through a server in the cyberbunker, according to the Attorney General.

Customers of the suspects are said to have been, among others, the operators of the world's second largest Darknet marketplace for drugs, called “Wall Street Market”, which investigators had broken up in the spring. The attack on 1.25 million Telekom routers in late November 2016 was controlled through a server in the cyber bunker, according to the Attorney General.


Ein derartiger Hoster sei erstmals in Deutschland ausgehoben worden, hieß es. Ein Webhoster stellt die Infrastruktur für eine Internetpräsenz zur Verfügung.

This was reportedly the first time that such a host was raided in Germany. A web host provides the infrastructure for an internet presence.

Climate Protests | Who Are Actually Thunberg’s Backers?


Gerechtigkeitssinn und Mut sind hohe Tugenden, auch im 21. Jahrhundert, in einer Welt voll von Krieg und Rauchfabriken, die das Klima erwärmen. Umso erstaunlicher, dass ausgerechnet ein 16-jähriges Mädchen den Machtmenschen dieser Zeit den Spiegel vor die Nase hält. Doch was steckt dahinter? Ist es Hilfsbereitschaft oder kluge Vermarktung einer Klimaaktivistin? Historische Meisterleistung oder manipulative Taktik um seiner selbst willen?

A sense of justice and courage are lofty virtues even in the 21st century, in a world full of war and smoke-belching factories that are heating the climate. So it is all the more striking that a 16-year-old girl is holding a mirror up to today's people in power. But what is her motivation? Is it a willingness to help, or the clever marketing of a climate activist? A historic masterstroke or manipulative tactics on her own account?

Courage and a sense of justice are important virtues, even in the 21st century, in a world full of war and smoking factories that warm the climate. It is all the more surprising that, of all people, a 16-year-old girl is holding a mirror up to today’s power-seekers. But what is behind all this? Is it willingness to help or the clever marketing of a climate activist? Historic masterpiece or a manipulative tactic for its own sake?


Einerseits setzt Greta Thunberg die Massen in Bewegung und bringt junge Menschen dazu sich zu erheben für eine bessere klimafreundliche Welt. Es ist historisch gesehen nicht das erste Mal in Europa, dass ein junger Mensch es schafft eine Ansammlung an Kindern und Jugendlichen für sich zu gewinnen. Bereits im Jahre 1212 hat ein Kind namens Nikolaus aus Köln sich auserkoren gefühlt, um sich für eine gerechtere Welt einzusetzen. Damals hat dieser auch eine Schar an jungen Menschen für sich gewinnen können und diese dazu überredet das Meer zu überqueren, um in das gelobte Land zu gelangen, ähnlich wie Greta Thunberg kürzlich sich auf die Reise nach Amerika gemacht hat mit einem Segelboot.

On the one hand, Greta Thunberg is stirring the masses and making young people rise up for a better climate-friendly world. Historically, this is not the first time in Europe that a young person has managed to win over children and young people. As far back as 1212, a boy called Nikolaus from Cologne believed himself destined to work towards bringing about a fairer world. He was able to win over a horde of young people and talk them into crossing the sea with him to the Promised Land, just as Greta Thunberg recently did with her sailboat voyage to the America.

For one thing, Greta Thunberg gets the masses moving and causes young people stand up for a better and more climate-friendly world. Historically speaking, it is not the first time in Europe that a young person has managed to gain the support of children and young people. Back in 1212, a child named Nicholas from Cologne felt predestined to bring about more justice in the world. He also managed to win over a group of children. He convinced them to cross the sea to reach the promised land, just as Greta Thunberg recently made her way to America on board a sailboat.


Doch gibt es diesbezüglich eine Schattenseite? Weshalb braucht es eine Aktie namens "We don't have time", um die Welt zu retten? Darüber hinaus hat Greta Thunberg reiche PR-Manager an ihrer Seite. Ganz nebenbei hat ihre Mutter ein Buch veröffentlicht, welches sich weitreichend verkauft hat, dank der im Rampenlicht stehenden Tochter. Auch altbewährte Follower von Greta Thunberg waren ein wenig entrüstet über die letzte PR-Show, bzw. die Reise mit dem Boot war wohl auch einigen Nachfolgern zu dick aufgesetzt. Dies ist auch nicht unbegründet, denn die Aktion kam in den Medien weltweit sehr gut zur Geltung und es fließt viel Geld dank der imposanten Aktion.

But is there a dark side? Why is a campaign called "We don't have time" needed to save the world? Greta Thunberg also has rich PR managers on her side. Incidentally, her mother has published a book that has sold all over the world thanks to her prominent daughter. Even long-established supporters of Greta Thunberg were a little indignant at the latest PR show, i.e., the boat trip, which some found excessive. This is not unfounded, as the impressive action went down very well with the world's press and has caused a lot of money to flow.

But is there a downside? Why do we need a “We Don't Have Time” share in order to save the planet? In addition, Thunberg has rich PR managers at her side. Quite incidentally, her mother has published a book, which sold widely, thanks to her famous daughter. Even longstanding followers of Greta Thunberg were somewhat indignant at the latest PR-show, or rather, the trip on the boat was considered exaggerated by many of her followers. Their concern is not unfounded, as the action was very effective in the media around the world, and lots of money is flowing in the wake of this extraordinary operation.


Hier scheiden sich jetzt die Geister: Ist es moralisch richtig sich beim Retten der Welt finanziell zu bereichern? Ist es noch authentisch, wenn gewisse Personenkreise während der Weltrettungsaktion mit Börsenmaklern zusammen arbeiten? Ganz gleich welche Stellung letztlich dabei bezogen wird, ein kritischer und reflektierter Sichtpunkt ist immer wichtiger in einer demokratisch geprägten Gesellschaft, denn die Demokratie lebt von verschiedenen Meinungen und Diskussionen. Deshalb kann es durchaus Sinn machen auch scheinbar fromme Vorhaben von bestimmten Trendsettern kritisch zu hinterfragen.

Opinions differ over this: Is it morally right to get rich from saving the world? Is it still legitimate if certain groups of people collaborate with stockbrokers during the campaign to save the world? Whatever the conclusion that will finally be drawn, a critical and considered perspective is always more important in a democratic society, for democracy draws its existence from varied opinions and debates. Therefore, it can be useful to take a critical look at even apparently righteous activities by certain trendsetters.

This is where opinions differ: Is it morally right to become rich in the course of saving the world? Is it still legitimate when certain people work together with brokers while rescuing the world? No matter which stand one takes, a critical and considered point of view becomes ever more important in a democratically run society, as democracy thrives on differing opinions and discussions. That is why it can certainly make sense to critically question the seemingly worthy undertakings of certain trendsetters.

Die Vermutungen der Astronomen haben sich bestätigt: Ein fremder Komet durchkreuzt im Moment unser Sonnensystem - er ist erst der zweite seiner Art.

Astronomers suspicions have been confirmed: An unknown comet has been travelling through our solar system—it is only the second one of its type.

Astronomers' assumptions have been confirmed: an alien comet is currently traveling through our solar system – and it is only the second of its kind.


Garching/Washington - Lange haben die Forscher es nur vermutet, doch jetzt haben sie Gewissheit: Ein Komet von einem anderen Stern durchkreuzt im Moment unser Sonnensystem. Er wurde nach seinem Entdecker 2I/Borisov getauft und beschäftigt gerade weltweit Astronomen.

Garching/Washington—Scientists have long suspected it, but they are now certain: A comet from another star is crossing our solar system at this moment. It was christened after its discoverer 2I/Borisov and is currently taking up the attention of astronomers worldwide.

Garchin/Washington – For some time researchers have only assumed, but now they have confirmed: a comet from a different star is crossing our solar system. It was named 2I/Borisov, after its discoverer, and is currently keeping astronomers around the world busy.


2I/Borisov: Komet wurde von Amateurastronomen auf der Krim entdeckt

2I/Borisov: A comet has been discovered by amateur astronomers in Crimea.

2I/Borisov: Comet was discovered by an amateur astronomer in Crimea


Der besagte Körper wurde von einem Amateurastronomen namens Gennadi Borissow auf der Krim entdeckt. Er blickte mit einem selbstgebauten Teleskop gen Himmel und weitere Nachbeobachtungen bestätigten seinen ersten Verdacht. Es handelt sich tatsächlich um einen unbekannten Kometen, der nicht aus unserem Sonnensystem stammt. Er ist erst der zweite seiner Art, der beim Durchflug gesichtet wurde.

The said solid body was discovered by an amateur astronomer called Gennadi Borissow in Crimea. He was looking at the sky through a home-made telescope and further night-time observations confirm his first suspicion. It is actually an unknown comet which is not from our solar system. It is only the second of its type that has been spotted flying past.

The comet was discovered by amateur astronomer Gennadi Borrissov in Crimea. He watched the sky with his homemade telescope, and further observations confirmed his first suspicions. It is indeed an unknown comet which does not originate from our solar system. It is only the second of its kind has been was sighted during its flight.


Die große Chance für Astronomen ist nun, aus der Nähe Einblicke in ein fremdes Sonnensystem zu erhaschen. Offenbar ähnelt der Kommet denen unseres eigenen Systems, wie das astrophysikalische Institut der Kanaren berichtet. Der Komet ist laut der Internationalen Astronomischen Union (IAC) eindeutig interstellarer Herkunft und bewegt sich aktuell auf einer sogenannten Hyperbelbahn, die ihn aus unserem System hinausführt.

Astronomers now have a big chance of getting a close-up view of an unknown solar system. Apparently the comet resembles those of our own solar system, as reported by the astrophysical Institute of the Canaries. According to the International Astronomic Union (IAC) the comet is of distinctly interstellar origins, and is currently moving along a hyperbolic path which is leading it out of our system.

This is a great opportunity for astronomers to gain insights into foreign solar systems up close. It appears that the comet resembles those of our own solar system, as the Astrophysical Institute of the Canaries reports. According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the comet is clearly of interstellar origin and is currently moving out of our solar system on what is known as a hyperbolic trajectory.


Komet wurde bereits vor Anflug gesichtet - und kann mehrere Monate beobachtet werden

The comet had already been sighted before its approach and can be observed for several months.

The comet was already sighted before its approach and can be observed for several months


Doch bevor es so weit ist, können die Astronomen ihn eingehend beobachten. Denn im Gegensatz zu seinem Vorgänger ist 2I/Borisov bereits in seinem Anflug gesichtet worden, was bedeutet, dass er viele Monate lang von der Erde aus untersucht werden kann. "Das Objekt wird Mitte Dezember die größte Helligkeit erreichen und dann noch bis April 2020 mit mittelgroßen Teleskopen zu sehen sein", erklärt Davide Farnocchia von der US-Raumfahrtbehörde Nasa. "Danach wird es bis Oktober 2020 nur noch mit größeren, professionellen Teleskopen zu beobachten sein".

But before it gets to that stage, astronomers can watch it closely. Then in contrast to its predecessor, 2l/Borisov has already been sighted before its approach, which means that it can be examined from earth for many months to come. "The object will reach its greatest brightness by mid-December and will then still be visible through medium-sized telescopes until April 2020," Davide Farnocchia of the Nasa US space agency explains. "After that it will still be visible through bigger, professional telescopes until October 2020."

But until then, astronomers can observe it in detail. Unlike its predecessor, 2I/Borisov was sighted during its approach, which means it can be observed from Earth for several months. “The comet will be brightest in mid-December and can then be seen with mid-sized telescopes until April 2020,” explains Davide Farnocchia of the US space agency NASA. “After that it can be observed only with bigger, professional telescopes until October 2020.”

Erste Erkenntnisse über Komet 2I/Borisov wecken Hoffnungen in der Wissenschaft

First knowledge about comet 2I/Borisov stirs hopes in science.

First insights into comet 2I/Borisov raise hopes in science


Laut den ersten Erkenntnissen wird der Komet auf 2 bis 16 Kilometer Durchmesser geschätzt. Gleichzeitig scheint der Himmelskörper unseren Kometen ähnlich zu sein - denn wie die IAC-Forscherin Julia de León es ausdrückt, ist das Spektrum des Schweifsterns unseren ähnlich. Diese Beobachtung lege nahe, dass sich Kometen in anderen Sonnensystemen durch ähnliche Prozesse formen könnten wie in unserem, ergänzte de Leóns Kollege Javier Licandro.

According to the first findings, the comet is estimated to be from 2 to 16 kilometers in diameter. At the same time, the celestial body seems to be similar to our comets, because as IAC researcher Julia de León puts it, the spectrum of the tail star's spectrum is similar to our ones. This observation suggests that comets in other solar systems could be formed through similar processes as ours, de León's colleague Javier Licandro added.

This observation suggests that comets in other solar systems are formed by processes similar to ours, de León’s colleague Javier Licandro added.


Die Beobachtung geht aber über Einzelerkenntnisse hinaus. Dass bereits zwei solcher Objekte innerhalb von nur zwei Jahren entdeckt worden sind, erlaubt unter Umständen einen neuen Weg zur Erforschung bestimmter Prozesse in anderen Sonnensystemen.

The observation goes beyond individual knowledge. The fact that already two such objects have been discovered in the space of only two years may allow a new way of researching certain processes in other solar systems.

But the observation goes beyond individual insights. That two objects of this kind have already been discovered in just two years may facilitate new ways of researching certain processes in other solar systems.


Immer wieder beschäftigen Asteroiden die Forscher. Erst vor kurzem raste ein Riesen-Asteroid an der Erde vorbei und kam ihr dabei gefährlich nahe.

Researchers are always preoccupied with asteroids. Recently a giant asteroid raced past the earth and got dangerously close to it.

Time and again asteroids keep researchers busy. Only recently, a giant asteroid rushed past Earth, coming dangerously close.


"Absolut verwerflich": Rachel Johnson entsetzt über Bruder

"Absolutely Reprehensible": Rachel Johnson Appalled at her Brother

“Totally reprehensible”: Rachel Johnson appalled by brother


Um Boris Johnson wird es einsamer. Erst verlässt sein jüngerer Bruder das Kabinett, nun geißelt seine Schwester mit deutlichen Worten die kriegerische Sprache des Premiers als "geschmacklos". Es sei nicht der Bruder, den sie kenne.

It's getting lonelier for Boris Johnson. First his younger brother left the cabinet, and now his sister is castigating the Prime Minister's warlike language as "tasteless." She says he's not the brother she knows.

It is getting lonely around Boris Johnson. First his younger brother leaves his cabinet and now his sister clearly criticizes the belligerent language of the premier as “tasteless”. He is not the brother she knows.


"Kapitulation", "Betrug", Vertrag": Premierminister Boris Johnson steht unter Druck und rüstet immer weiter auf - zumindest verbal. Bei der Fragestunde im Unterhaus an diesem Mittwoch stieß das auf massive Empörung der Opposition, und inzwischen haben sich noch weitere Kritiker zu Wort gemeldet: Dutzende Bischöfe und seine eigene Schwester Rachel Johnson.

"Capitulation," "fraud," "treaty": Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under pressure and arming himself more and more—at least verbally. During the time of questioning in the House of Commons this Wednesday, this was met with massive outrage from the opposition, and since then many additional critics have weighed in: Dozens of bishops, and his own sister Rachel Johnson.

“Capitulation”, “Fraud”, “Contract”: Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under pressure and arms himself further – at least verbally. This is met with outrage during questions to the Prime Minister in the House of Commons this Wednesday, and now more critics spoke out including dozens of bishops and his own sister, Rachel Johnson.


Die bekannte Journalistin und Autorin sagte dem Sender Sky News, ihr Bruder benutze Worte wie Kapitulation, als ob die Gegner eines EU-Austritts "gehängt, langgezogen, gevierteilt, geteert und gefedert" werden sollten. Sie halte das für überaus verwerflich. Sie erkenne die Version ihres Bruders nicht wieder, sagte Rachel Johnsons, die bei den Wahlen zum EU-Parlament für die Anti-Brexit-Partei "Change UK" angetreten war.

The famous journalist and author told the broadcaster Sky News that her brother used words like "capitulation," as though the opponents of the withdrawal from the EU "should be hanged, drawn, quartered, tarred and feathered." She feels that is thoroughly reprehensible. She no longer recognizes this version of her brother, said Rachel Johnson, who stood for the anti-Brexit party "Change UK" during the elections for the EU parliament.

The famous journalist and author told Sky News her brother uses words like capitulation, as if the opponents of Brexit should be “hanged, stretched on the rack, tarred and feathered”. She believes this to be greatly reprehensible. She does not recognize this version of her brother, said Rachel Johnson who ran for the “Change UK” anti-Brexit party in the European Parliament elections.


Besonders stieß sie sich daran, dass ihr Bruder Jo Cox erwähnte, eine EU-freundliche Unterhausabgeordnete, die wenige Tage vor dem Austritts-Referendum 2016 von einem Neonazi ermordet worden war. Deren Andenken könne man am besten ehren, indem man den Brexit durchziehe, hatte Boris Johnson im Unterhaus gesagt. "Es ist sehr geschmacklos, sich auf eine Abgeordnete zu beziehen, die von jemandem ermordet wurde, der 'Britain first' rief", kritisierte nun Johnsons Schwester. Der Täter sei offensichtlich aus dem rechtsextremen Lager gekommen, das sich "durch diese Art von Sprache" bestärkt fühle. Für alle, die um sie trauerten, sei es sehr geschmacklos.

She was especially upset that her brother mentioned Jo Cox, an EU-friendly member of the House of Commons who was murdered by a neo-Nazi a few days before the 2016 referendum on the withdrawal. One can best honor her memory by carrying out Brexit, Boris Johnson said in the House of Commons. "It is in very poor taste to refer to a delegate who was murdered by someone shouting ‘Britain first,'" Johnson's sister is now critically asserting. The culprit is said to have obviously come from the extreme right wing, which feels itself strengthened "by this type of language." For all those who are mourning her, it's extremely tasteless.

She was especially appalled by her brothers mention of Jo Cox, an EU friendly House of Commons member who was killed by a neo-Nazi a few days before the Brexit referendum in 2016. It would be best for her remembrance, if the Brexit is pushed through, Boris Johnson said in the House of Commons. “It is very vulgar to refer to a MP murdered by someone who screamed ‘Britain first’ ”, Johnson’s sister criticized. The perpetrator had apparently come from the right-extremist wing, which felt reinforced “by this kind of language”. It appears very crude to everyone mourning for her.


Auch der Witwer von Cox kritisierte den Premierminister scharf. "Es macht mich krank, wenn Jos Name so benutzt wird", twitterte er. Der beste Weg, sie zu ehren, sei, wenn man leidenschaftlich und entschlossen für das eintrete, woran man glaube - egal, welcher Ansicht man sei. Aber niemals dürfe man "die andere Seite dämonisieren". Er beklagte zudem, dass eine Atmosphäre entstanden sei, in der Angriffe wahrscheinlicher geworden seien.

And Cox's widower also strongly criticized the Prime Minister. "Feel a bit sick at Jo's name being used in this way," he tweeted. The best way to honor Jo is for all of us (no matter our views) to stand up for what we believe in, passionately and with determination. But never to demonize the other side." He also lamented that an atmosphere has arisen in which attacks have become more probable.

The widower of Cox criticized the Prime Minister sharply as well. “It makes me sick when Jo’s name is being used”, he tweeted. The best way to honor her would be, to stand up passionately and determined for what you believe – independent of what belief you have. But never “demonize the other side”. He also complained that an atmosphere had arisen in which attacks were more likely.


Erst vor wenigen Wochen hatte Boris Johnson jüngerer Bruder Jo sein Amt als Staatssekretär und sein Mandat als Tory-Abgeordneter niedergelegt. "Ich war in den vergangenen Monaten zerrissen zwischen Loyalität zur Familie und dem nationalen Interesse - es ist eine unauflösbare Spannung", begründete Jo Johnson den Schritt.

Only a few weeks ago, Boris Johnson's younger brother Jo resigned his position as Minister of State and his mandate as the Tory delegate. "In recent weeks I've been torn between family loyalty and the national interest – it's an unresolvable tension," Jo Johnson said to justify the step he was taking.

Just a few weeks ago Boris Johnson’s younger brother resigned as State Secretary and Tory MP. “During the past months I was torn between my loyalty to my family and the national interest – it is an unresolvable tension”, Jo Johnson explained his move.


Johnsons Sprache stieß auch in der Kirche auf scharfe Kritik. Wie die "Times" berichtet, kritisieren alle 118 Bischöfe und Erzbischöfe der Church of England die Sprache, die "dieses Landes nicht würdig" sei. In einem gemeinsamen Statement erklärten sie: "In den vergangenen Tagen, ist die Sprache, sowohl in Debatten als auch auch außerhalb des Parlaments, nicht akzeptabel gewesen. Wir sollten mit Respekt miteinander sprechen".

Johnson's speech was met with strong criticism, including in the church. As the "Times" reported, all 118 bishops and archbishops of the Church of England criticized the speech, which they said was "not worthy of our country." In a joint statement, they declared: "In the last few days, the use of language, both in debates and outside parliament, has been unacceptable. We should speak to others with respect.

Even the church met Johnson’s language with sharp criticism. Reported by the “Times”, all 118 bishops and arch-bishops of the Church of England criticized the language, that is “not worthy of this nation”. They explained in a joint statement: “In the past days, the language in debates as well as outside of the parliament was not acceptable. We should speak to each other with respect.”

Im vergangenen Jahr kam es im Vorfeld zu politischen Kontroversen. Grund war der Streit um den Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, der sich aus Protest gegen Polizeigewalt gegen Schwarze geweigert hatte, sich beim Abspielen der Nationalhymne zu erheben und dafür unter anderem von US-Präsident Donald Trump hart angegangen worden war. Aus Solidarität mit Kaepernick hatten einige Musiker einen Super-Bowl-Auftritt abgelehnt - darunter Rihanna und Pink. Dass die Rockgruppe Maroon 5 auftrat, wurde letztlich von vielen kritisiert.

The runup to last year's game was mired in political controversy. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand during the playing of the national anthem in protest against police violence against black people - he was then attacked harshly by US President Donald Trump and others. Some musicians refused a Super Bowl appearance out of solidarity with Kaepernick, including Rihanna and Pink. The rock group Maroon 5 was ultimately criticized by many for performing.

In solidarity with Kaepernick, a number of musicians declined to perform at the Super Bowl, among them Rihanna and Pink. That the rock group Maroon 5 performed was ultimately criticized by many.


Ein Schauspieler und Youtuber setzt Ägyptens Herrscher zu: Vorerst bleibt Mohamed Ali aber lieber im Ausland.

An actor and YouTuber badgers Egypt's ruler: For now Mohamed Ali prefers to stay abroad.

An actor and Youtuber puts Egypt's ruler under pressure: Mohamed Ali currently rather prefers to remain abroad.


Die zwei Männer, die Einfluss darauf haben, ob auf den Straßen Ägyptens wieder Blut fließt, haben die vergangene Woche beide im Ausland verbracht. Einer von beiden schwebte am Freitag wieder am Flughafen Kairo ein. Staatspräsident Abdelfattah al-Sisi kehrte von der UN-Generalversammlung zurück. Der Ex-General, der 2013 den Muslimbruder Mohammed Mursi, das erste frei gewählte Staatsoberhaupt des Landes, absetzte, hatte eine angenehme Zeit in New York verbracht: US-Präsident Donald Trump hatte Sisis Vorgehen gegen den politischen Islam gelobt und keine Silbe über die Menschenrechtsverletzungen am Nil verloren - in einer Woche, in der Ägyptens Sicherheitskräfte Hunderte Menschen verhafteten, weil sie es gewagt hatten, gegen den Präsidenten zu protestieren. Er habe "keinen Grund zur Sorge", sagte Sisi am Flughafen in die Mikrofone des Staatsfernsehens. "Die Ägypter lassen sich nicht in die Irre führen".

The two men who have a say about whether blood will be spilt on Egypt's streets again, have both spent the past week abroad. One of the two drifted into Cairo airport again on Friday. State president Abdelfattah al-Sisi returned from the UN General Assembly. The ex-general, who in 2013 deposed Muslim brother Mohammed Mursi, the first freely chosen head of state, had spent a pleasant time in New York. US president Donald Trump had praised al-Sisi's action against political Islam, making no mention of the human rights violations on the Nile—during a week, when Egypt's security forces arrested hundreds of people for daring to protest against the president. He had "no grounds for worry," al-Sisi said at the airport into the state television broadcasting microphone. "Egyptians are not easily misled."

The two men who may influence whether blood will flow again on Egypt's streets both spent last week abroad. One of the two glided back to Cairo's airport on Friday. The country's president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi returned from the UN general assembly. The ex-general, who in 2013 removed Muslim brother Mohammed Mursi, the country's first freely elected head of state, from power had spent a pleasant time in New York. US president Donald Trump had praised Sisi's approach towards political Islam and not lost a word over human rights violations at the Nile. This was during a week in which Egypt's security forces had arrested hundreds of people because they had dared to protest against the president. Sisi said in front of state TV's microphones at the airport that he had "no cause for concern." The Egyptians "won't let themselves be led astray."


In die Irre führen - das versucht nach Ansicht des Präsidenten der andere Mann, der derzeit das Geschehen auf den Straßen bestimmt. Mohamed Ali blieb selbstverständlich im Ausland, wo er sich dem Zugriff der Sicherheitskräfte entzieht, die ihn sofort verhaften würden, wenn er ägyptischen Boden zu betreten versuchte. Vor Wochen war der 45-Jährige als Schauspieler nur einer Minderheit der Ägypter bekannt. Heute ist er die tonangebende Stimme, die den politischen Diskurs in den Cafés, den Wohnzimmern und Teestuben des Landes beherrscht: Mit seinem Youtube-Kanal "Mohameds Geheimnisse" ruft Ali seine Landsleute auf, sich gegen Sisi zu erheben.

Misleading—according to the president, is what the other man, who currently determines the events taking place on the streets, is doing. Mohamed Ali naturally stayed, where he keeps out of reach of the security forces, which would immediately arrest him if he tries to set foot in Egypt again. Weeks ago, the 45-year-old was known to only a minority of Egyptians as an actor. Today he is the leading voice commanding political discourse in cafes, living rooms and tea lounges across the country. With his YouTube channel "Mohamed's Secrets," Ali calls on countrymen to rise up against al-Sisi.

Leading astray is what, in the president's view, the other man who currently shapes happenings in the streets is attempting. Mohamed Ali remained abroad, where he is beyond the reach of the security forces who would immediately arrest him if he attempted to set foot on Egyptian soil. Weeks ago, the 45-year-old was known to a minority of Egyptians as an actor. Today, his is the defining voice that dominates political discourse in the country's cafés, living rooms and tea rooms. With his Youtube channel Mohamed's Secrets, Ali is calling on his compatriots to rise up against Sisi.


Er geht den Staatschef direkt und in durchaus rustikaler Sprache an. Während das Volk hungere, schwelge der Präsident im Luxus und lasse sich prächtige neue Paläste bauen, heißt es da. Der Armeeführung, auf die Sisi seine Herrschaft stützt, wirft Ali Korruption und Bereicherung vor. Weil er in seinem Zweitberuf als Bauunternehmer 15 Jahre lang mit genau diesen Herren Geschäfte machte, scheint er ziemlich genau zu wissen, wovon er redet - das zumindest ist der Eindruck vieler Ägypter, wie die geradezu explodierenden Klickzahlen zeigen.

He addresses the state president in direct and country-style language. While the people are hungry, the president indulges in luxury and has new palaces built, is what the saying goes. The army leadership on which Sisi rests his rule accuses Ali of corruption and wealth grabbing. Because his second job as building contractor for 15 years meant he did business with precisely this man, he seems to know exactly what he is talking about—at least that is what many Egyptians believe, as the downright exploding clicks show.

He addresses the head of state directly and in pretty rough language. While the people are going hungry, the president is "indulging in luxury and having fine new palaces built." Ali accuses the army leadership, upon whom Sisi relies to maintain his rule, of corruption and self-enrichment. Having been in business for 15 years with these very people in his second profession in the construction business, he would appear to know precisely what he is talking about - this at least is the opinion many Egyptians have, as indicated by the currently soaring number of clicks.


Nachdem vergangene Woche erstmals seit Sisis Griff nach der Macht Tausende gegen seine Herrschaft demonstriert hatten und fast 2000 Bürger, unter ihnen prominente Figuren der Zivilgesellschaft, Menschenrechtsanwälte und Oppositionspolitiker, verhaftet worden waren, rief Ali für diesen Freitag zu einem "Millionenmarsch" auf. Dass sich wirklich so viele Menschen auf die Straßen wagen würden, war unwahrscheinlich. Aber es kam zu vereinzelten kleineren Protesten, zum Beispiel in Giseh bei Kairo sowie im Ort Kina bei Luxor. Videos in sozialen Medien zeigten Proteste, deren Teilnehmer Al-Sisi Korruption vorwarfen und seinen Abgang forderten. Bei diesen Protesten setzte die Polizei auch Tränengas und Gummigeschosse ein. Diese Videos ließen sich zunächst nicht unabhängig verifizieren. Aus Sicherheitskreisen hieß es, die Polizei habe die Proteste beendet.

After thousands had demonstrated against his rule last week for the first time since al-Sisi's tightening grip, and almost 2000 citizens, among them prominent figures in civil society, human rights lawyers and opposition politicians were arrested, Ali called on a "Millions March" this Friday. That many people daring to go in the street seemed unlikely. But there have been isolated protests, for example Giseh in Cairo as well as in the Kina region near Luxor. Videos in social media showed protests, the participants of which blamed Al-Sisi corruption and demanded his departure. During these protests, the police also used tear gas and rubber bullets. These videos could initially not be identified. From security circles it was said, that the police ended the protests.

After last week saw, for the first time since his grab for power, thousands demonstrating against Sisi's rule and almost 2,000 citizens, including prominent figures in civil society, human rights lawyers and opposition politicians being arrested, Ali called for a "march of millions" for this Friday. That so many people would really risk going out onto the streets was unlikely, but there were isolated smaller protests, for example in Giseh near Cairo and in the town of Kina near Luxor. Videos on social media showed protests, with people accusing el-Sisi of corruption and demanding his departure. At these protests, police used tear gas and fired rubber bullets. These videos could not initially be verified. Security circles let it be known that the police had put an end to the demonstrations.


Aus der Stadt Mansura im Nildelta, wo Demonstranten vergangene Woche Banner mit dem Porträt des Präsidenten in Stücke rissen, wurde am Freitag massive Polizeipräsenz gemeldet. Sicherheitskräfte errichteten Checkpoints in der Stadt und an den Ausfallstraßen. In Kairo wurden mehrere U-Bahnstationen in der Innenstadt wegen "Instandhaltungsarbeiten" geschlossen, die meisten Straßen rund um den Tahrirplatz, dem Herz der Revolution von 2011, wurden blockiert. Und auf dem Rabaa-Platz, auf dem sich 2013 Anhänger des gestürzten Muslimbruders Mursi verschanzten, bis die Armee sie unter Feuer nahm und bis zu 800 Menschen tötete, sollte eine andere Maßnahme verhindern, dass sich Unzufriedene versammeln: Sisis Zukunftspartei wollte ausgerechnet hier eine Großkundgebung für den Präsidenten abhalten.

There were reports of high police presence in the city of Mansura in the Nile Delta last Friday, where last week demonstrators were tearing up banners with the portrait of the president. Security forces erected checkpoints in the city and at exit roads. In Cairo several underground stations in the inner city were closed due to "maintenance work," most roads around Tahrir square, the heart of the revolution of 2011 were blocked off. And on the Rabaa square, on which in 2013 followers of the fallen Muslim brother Mursi entrenched themselves, until the army put them under fire and killed up to 800 people, another measure is meant to deter dissatisfied people from gathering. It is in this very place, that al-Sisi's Future Party wanted to hold a large rally for the president.

Massive police presence was reported on Friday in the town of Mansura in the Nile Delta, where last week demonstrators had torn up a portrait of the president. Security forces set up checkpoints in the town and approaching roads. In Cairo, several underground stations in the city center were closed for "maintenance work," with most roads around Tahrir Square, the heart of the 2011 Revolution, being blocked off. And on Rabaa Square, where supporters of the toppled Muslim Brotherhood leader Mursi barricaded themselves in 2013 until the army opened fire on them and killed up to 800 people, another approach was used to avoid the dissatisfied coming together. At this very place Sisi's future party wanted to stage a large event for the president.


Mohamed Ali veranlassten diese Vorkehrungen zu einer Änderung seiner Taktik: "Unser Ziel muss nicht der Tahrirplatz sein", sagte Ali in Barcelona in seine Videokamera. "Lasst uns nicht mit Polizeibeamten zusammenstoßen". Als Rückzieher sei das aber nicht zu verstehen: "Ganz Ägypten ist der Tahrirplatz".

These precautions prompted Mohamed Ali to change his tactic. "Our goal must not be Tahrir square," Ali said in Barcelona into his video camera. "Let us not come to knocks with police officers." But that should not be understood as a withdrawal. "All of Egypt is Tahrir square."

These measures caused Mohamed Ali to change his tactics. "Our goal need not be Tahrir Square," Ali said into his video camera in Barcelona. "Let us not clash with policemen." That is not to be understood as a retreat - "the whole of Egypt is Tahrir Square."


Wenn der Provider zu viel Leistung verspricht

When Internet Providers Promise Too Much


Scheint der Internet-Anschluss stets viel langsamer als vom Provider beworben, gibt es verschiedene Prüfmöglichkeiten.

If the internet connection seems much slower than advertised by the provider, there are several ways to make sure.

If your Internet connection seems to be slower than your internet provider advertised, there are several ways you can look into this.


Wer einen Internetvertrag abschließt, braucht nicht blind den Geschwindigkeitsangaben der Anbieter vertrauen. Kunden können bei Auffälligkeiten selbst nachprüfen, wie viel davon tatsächlich erreicht wird.

When signing a contract, one should not have to trust their provider blindly. If problems occur, customers can check the actual internet speed themselves.

When you sign an internet service agreement, you do not have to blindly trust your provider’s performance claims. As a customer, if you feel there is an irregularity, you can check the speed yourself.


Schließlich sind die vorab versprochenen Übertragungsraten ein Vertragsbestandteil und sollten daher auch erreicht werden, erklärt die Verbraucherzentrale Bayern.

The data transfer rates promised in advance are an important part of the contract and should therefore be reached, explains the Bavarian Consumer Center.

After all, the promised data transfer rates are part of your agreement and should therefore be achieved, says the Consumers' Center in Bavaria.


Scheint der Anschluss stets viel langsamer als vom Provider beworben, gibt es verschiedene Prüfmöglichkeiten. So messen die Messtools der Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA) die tatsächlichen Datenübertragungsraten und vergleichen sie mit der im Vertrag vereinbarten Rate.

If the connection seems much slower than advertised by the provider, there are several ways to make sure. The measuring tools by the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) measure the actual data transfer rates and compare them to the rates agreed upon in the contract.

If your connection always seems to be much slower than the provider advertised, there are several ways to test this. For instance, the measurement tools of the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) measure the actual data transfer rates and compare them with the rate agreed upon in the contract.


"Die Tests der Anbieter erfolgen jedoch nach anbieterspezifischen Vorgaben und sind daher nicht einheitlich und objektiv berechnet", gibt die Verbraucherzentrale Bayern auf ihrer Seite zu bedenken.

"The provider checks are carried out according to provider-specific specifications and are therefore not calculated uniformly and objectively", stated the Bavarian Consumer Center.

“The tests of the providers, however, follow provider-specific standards and are therefore not uniformly and objectively calculated,” the Consumers' Center in Bavaria points out on its website.


Ist der Anschluss wesentlich langsamer als angekündigt, können Kunden dem Anbieter eine angemessene Frist von in der Regel 14 Tagen setzen, um die versprochene Leistung herzustellen. Das tun Betroffene am besten schriftlich per Einwurfeinschreiben.

If the connection is much slower than agreed upon, customers can set the provider a reasonable deadline, which is usually 14 days, to provide the service as promised. The customers can do this per post, via a registered letter.

If the connection is significantly slower than advertised, customers can set the provider a reasonable deadline - usually 14 days - to provide the promised service. This is best done by registered mail.


Bewirkt das auch nach mehrfacher Aufforderung nichts, können Kunden kündigen und unter Umständen auch Schadenersatz fordern. Doch bei ausbleibendem Erfolg helfe nur noch der Klageweg.

Should this prove unsuccessful after several attempts, customers can terminate their contracts and, in come circumstances, claim damages. Legal action can be used if all else fails.

If that has no effect, even after repeated requests, customers can cancel their contract and possibly even claim damages. In the absence of success, however, the only remaining option is legal action.


Erster ranghoher Republikaner für Untersuchung

First Senior Republican in Favor of Investigation


Als erster ranghoher Republikaner hat sich der Gouverneur von Vermont für eine Impeachment-Untersuchung gegen US-Präsident Donald Trump ausgesprochen. "Ich denke, die Untersuchung ist wichtig, ja, und wo das von hier aus hinführt, wird von den Fakten bestimmt, die festgestellt werden", sagte Phil Scott auf einer Pressekonferenz am Donnerstag. Er wolle mehr über die Whistleblower-Affäre wissen, bevor Maßnahmen - ein Impeachment-Verfahren kann zur Absetzung des Präsidenten führen - ergriffen werden.

A senior Republican, the Governor of Vermont, has spoken out in favor of an impeachment investigation against US President Donald Trump. "I think the inquiry is important, yes, and where it leads from here is going to be driven by the facts that are established," Phil Scott said at a press conference on Thursday. He wanted to know more about the whistleblower affair before measures—impeachment proceedings can lead to the removal of the President—were taken.

The Governor of Vermont is the first senior Republican to call for an impeachment investigation against US president Donald Trump. “I think the inquiry is important, yes, and where it leads from here is going to be driven by the facts that are established,” Phil Scott said at a press conference on Thursday. He wanted to know more about the whistle-blower incident before taking action – impeachment proceedings can lead to the president being removed from office.


Scott sagte, er sei von Enthüllungen nicht überrascht, dass Trump den ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj wiederholt in einem Telefonat aufgefordert habe, Interventionen des demokratischen Präsidentschaftsbewerbers und früheren Vizepräsidenten Joe Biden in der Ukraine zu untersuchen. Denn Trump beobachte Biden "seit Jahren".

Scott said that he was not surprised by the revelation that Trump had made repeated requests over the phone to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate interventions by Democratic Presidential rival and former Vice President Joe Biden in Ukraine. Trump has been watching Biden "for years."

Scott said that he was not surprised when it was revealed that Trump repeatedly urged the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to look into the interventions of the Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden in the Ukraine. Trump has been watching Biden “over the years”.


Republikaner haben sich bislang mit Kritik an Trump wegen der Whistleblower-Affäre zurückgehalten; wenige haben Unbehagen deswegen erkennen lassen. Scotts Äußerungen sind ein erstes Anzeichen dafür in Trumps Partei. Scott, ein moderater Republikaner, hat sich bereits mehrmals gegen Trumps Politik gewandt, etwa gegen die Lockerung von Umweltschutzvorschriften und der Verschärfung von Einwanderungsvorschriften.

Republicans have so far withheld their criticism of Trump due to the whistleblower affair; few have shown unease about it. Scott's statements are the first sign of uneasiness within Trump's party. Scott, a moderate Republican, has already pushed back against Trump's policies numerous times, such as when he opposed relaxing environmental regulations and tightening immigration requirements.

To date, Republicans have been holding back on criticism of Trump in the whistle-blower incident; few have expressed their discomfort. Scott’s remarks are a first indication of unease in Trump’s party.

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry Appear in "Suits" Finale

How Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry appear in the finale of “Suits”


Nach neun Staffeln ist die Serie "Suits" in den USA inzwischen beim großen Finale angelangt. In der letzten Folge gab es viele Happy Ends und ebenso viele Cameo-Auftritte. Und auch dem royalen Ehepaar Prinz Harry (35) und seiner Meghan (38), die viele Jahre lang in der Serie mitwirkte, wurde auf charmante Weise Tribut gezollt. Achtung, die folgenden Abschnitte enthalten Spoiler zum Serienfinale.

After nine seasons, the American series "Suits" has reached its grand finale. The last episode contained many happy endings and cameos. And a charming tribute was paid to the royal couple, Prince Harry (35) and his Meghan (38), who had taken part in the series for years.

After nine seasons, the American series “Suits” has reached its grand finale. In the last episode, there are many happy endings and just as many cameo appearances. And a charming tribute was given to the royal couple Prince Harry (35) and his Meghan (38), who took part in the series for many years. Alert – the following paragraphs contain spoilers for the finale of the series.


Eines vorweg: Herzogin Meghan kehrte im Finale nicht für einen letzten Abschiedsgruß als Rachel Zane zurück, zumindest nicht für neue Szenen. Stattdessen zeigten einige Rückblicke noch einmal die denkwürdigsten Szenen mit der heutigen Herzogin. So etwa die Momente der gescheiterten und der geglückten Hochzeit mit Mike oder wie sie ihn nach seiner abgesessenen Haftstrafe begrüßt.

One thing in advance: Duchess Meghan does not return in the finale for one last farewell as Rachel Zane—at least not for new scenes. Instead, a few looks back presented the most memorable scenes with the current duchess once more. Like the moments of the failed and the successful wedding with Mike, or how she greeted him after he had served his sentence.

First off: Duchess Meghan does not return as Rachel Zane for a final farewell, at least not in any new scenes. Instead, a number of retrospectives show some of the most memorable scenes with the present Duchess, for instance the moments of the failed and the successful weddings with Mike or how she greets him after he completed his jail sentence.


Doch auch ihr echter Ehemann, Prinz Harry, wurde im "Suits"-Finale beiläufig erwähnt, natürlich in einer Hochzeitsszene. Als Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman, 49) gerade Richtung Altar schreitet, um seine Verlobte Sheila (Rachael Harris, 51) zu heiraten, macht Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht, 47) eine vielsagende Bemerkung bezüglich dessen Anzugs. Ob er sich tatsächlich einen Gehrock übergeworfen habe, will der verdutzte Harvey vom Bräutigam wissen, nur um dann schnippisch anzumerken: "Louis, du bist doch nicht der Prinz von England".

But her real-life husband, Prince Harry, was also mentioned in passing in the "Suits" finale (in a wedding scene, naturally). Just as Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman, 49) was going to the altar to marry his fiancée Sheila (Rachael Harris, 51), Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht, 47) made a telling comment regarding his suit. The confused Harvey wants to know whether or not the bridegroom had actually thrown on a frock coat, only to then make the snarky comment: "Louis, you are not the Prince of England."

Her real husband, Prince Harry, is also mentioned in passing in the “Suits” finale, in a wedding scene, of course. When Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman, 49) starts walking down the aisle to marry his fiancée Sheila (Rachel Harris, 51), Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht, 47) makes a telling remark about his suit. Harvey, taken aback, asks the groom whether he really wanted to wear a morning coat, and snidely remarks: “Louis, you’re not the Prince of England.”

Is the Turkey deal still working?
Is the Turkey-deal still working?


Die gestiegenen Zahlen ließen zuletzt Zweifel am Funktionieren des 2016 geschlossenen EU-Türkei-Abkommens aufkommen. Dies sieht vor, dass die EU alle Flüchtlinge und Migranten, die illegal über die Türkei auf die griechischen Inseln kommen, zurückschicken kann. Im Gegenzug wollte die EU für jeden abgeschobenen Syrer einen syrischen Flüchtling aus der Türkei aufnehmen.

The increased numbers have recently cast doubts over the functioning of the EU-Turkey agreement reached in 2016. Under this agreement, the EU can send back all refugees and migrants who have come to the Greek islands illegally via Turkey. In return, for every Syrian sent back, the EU agreed to accept a Syrian refugee from Turkey.

The increasing numbers raise doubts as to whether the 2016 agreement between the EU and Turkey is still operational. The agreement stipulates that the EU can send back all refugees and migrants arriving illegally in Greece via Turkey. In return, the EU agreed to accept one Syrian refugee from Turkey for each Syrian deported.


Die Bearbeitung der Asylanträge kommt wegen Personalmangels jedoch auf griechischer Seite nur mühsam voran. Auf Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros und Kos harren laut dem Bürgerschutzministerium knapp 29 400 Menschen aus. Am schlimmsten ist die Lage auf Lesbos: In einem Lager mit Kapazitäten für 650 Menschen sind derzeit 5200 Migraten untergebracht.

However, the processing of asylum applications on the Greek side is proceeding sluggishly due to personnel shortages. The Ministry of Civil Protection says that almost 29,400 people are trapped on Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros, and Kos. The situation on Lesbos is the most serious: A camp with a capacity for 650 people is currently accommodating 5,200 migrants.

Processing the asylum applications is, however, progressing slowly on the Greek side, due to a lack of personnel.

The situation is at its worst on Lesbos: A camp with a capacity of 650 now houses 5,200 migrants.


Noch nie seit Inkrafttreten des EU-Türkei-Flüchtlingspakts im März 2016 seien es so viele gewesen, berichtete der Staatsrundfunk.

Never since the EU-Turkey refugee agreement came into force in March 2016 have there been so many, according to the state radio broadcaster.
