@Christoph S
Christoph, I looked at this drone footage several times. I think the Pader River bridge you saw in shown. It's about at 43-46 and also around 145-147. The river is very nice even if the bridge is a boring, concrete car crossing now. Maybe there's a small grove by the bridge with a sign that says what was once there. Thank you again for going to see the location for yourself. I'm so glad a Paderborn historical society had gathered records, history and old photographs of the area. All is not lost.

Protests across Germany: Hundreds of thousands rally against far right | DW News - YouTube

More than 150,000 people in Germany's capital Berlin have taken to the streets once again to denounce far right extremism and its ideology. For weeks, Germans have been demonstrating after investigative journalists' group Correctiv published an article revealing that several members from the far right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) and two members of Germany's conservative party (CDU) attended a secretive meeting to discuss the mass deportation of immigrants, including some with German citizenship.

#Germany, #England and #France condemned the launch of the Soraya #satellite by #Iran space force.

The European Troika said in a joint statement: "We condemn the satellite launch by Iran; Because its satellite carrier uses the necessary technologies to build a long-range ballistic missile system.

🔹 The tone of the statement of the Europeans implicitly shows their acknowledgment of the end of Iran's international missile restrictions; Because unlike their previous statements, they did not mention Security Council Resolution 2231.
PS. This is the second successful launch of Iran's 3 stage solid fuel rocket that the European countries and IS claim has dual purpose and is designed to carry possible nuclear warhead.

Europe is heading for perilous waters, and its leaders are dozing at the tiller

The Guardian

Ukraine needs more help, the far right is on the rise and the Middle East crisis gets worse. Where is the European Union’s vision? (...)

The way it’s going, 2024 could turn into a nightmare for the 27-country bloc – an all-time annus horribilis. A daunting slew of international and internal challenges is coming to a head. Is the EU ready to meet them? Definitely not.

Take the crisis in the Red Sea. Iran-backed Houthi militants have been attacking shipping there since the Israel-Hamas war began. (...)

The EU has an important stake in this fight. About 40% of its Asia and Middle East trade moves via Suez. But only the Netherlands provided hands-on assistance. (...)

Snoozing at the tiller, Europe is again failing to pair its self-interest and aspirations as a global actor with timely, concrete, joined-up action.

The Gaza war has exploded another illusion ahead of this week’s pivotal EU summit. (...) As Israel’s largest trading partner, they think the EU has leverage. All support a two-state solution. But when Josep Borrell, EU foreign policy chief, outlined a 10-point peace plan for Palestine last week, his VIP guest, Israel Katz, Israel’s foreign minister, ignored it. (...)

Europe’s bottomless capacity for punching below its weight is damaging Ukraine, where two years on from its invasion, Russia appears to be slowly gaining the upper hand. (...)

The failure of some EU countries, notably France, to supply more and better arms, as US deliveries dry up, is also harming Ukraine’s chances – and consequentially, Europe’s hopes of defending its borders from future Russian aggression. That’s especially pertinent given Trump’s prospective return to the White House a year from now. (...)

Trump’s resurrection “would endanger European interests but Europe is not investing in mitigating the risks.” (...)

[T]he geopolitical dangers facing the EU in 2024 are global – and exacerbated by the dithering of its wealthiest member. Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, “is giving no political or strategic leadership to a Europe that is ill-prepared for a possible rupture of the transatlantic relationship.” (...)

“Similarly, neither Germany nor Europe is prepared to withstand the growing influence of regimes that challenge the traditional prominence of the west” – a reference to China, a big trade partner and bigger potential threat. (...)

Germany is also a flashpoint in the main internal political challenge confronting the EU – the rise of the far right. (...)

New polling by the European Council on Foreign Relations suggests populist “anti-European” parties, principally of the right, will make large gains in EU and national elections this year. Migration, broken budgets, energy and climate are other explosive common denominator issues. (...)

Can the EU survive a dangerous, defining year? It will probably muddle through. But the sort of strategic leadership and vision offered by Jacques Delors, the legendary Eurocrat who died last month, is evidently lacking – and urgently required. (...)

15 of 17 Judges at the International Court of Justice concluded that provisional measures in the case of #genocide against #Israel are necessary.
The #ICJ order:

What does this mean?

A victory for the Palestinian people and a massive problem for Israel and its enablers like the #US Govt and #Germany who are the two largest arms suppliers for Israel.

#South-Africa deserves gratitude for brining this important case against Israel.
