“Beating criminals at their own game”
Deutsche Welle: Seniors outsmart con men posing as police in Cologne. “Tricksters posing as police officers have been arrested in the German city of Cologne. Police in the city say a con trick seeking to rob seniors of their savings has been going on for years and is getting worse.”
“Police in Cologne, in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), have been warning senior citizens for years that they should not believe people posing as police and requesting the pensioners turn over cash and valuables to the fake officers for safe keeping.
On Friday, Cologne police were able to arrest two such criminals with the help of a quick-thinking elderly couple.”
“The time to act is NOW, before it’s too late.”
Deutsche Welle: Klimastreik – “Der Planet brennt”. “Tanz, Trommeln und Blockaden: Für einen entschiedeneren Kampf gegen den Klimawandel sind in Deutschland und rund um den Globus Hunderttausende auf die Straße gegangen. Dazu aufgerufen hatte “Fridays for Future”.”
Deutsche Welle: Kabinettsbeschluss: 54 Milliarden Euro für Klimaschutz in Deutschland. “Die Bundesregierung beschließt ihr Programm zur Reduktion des CO2-Ausstoßes. Kritikern geht es nicht weit genug. Hunderttausende gehen für den Klimaschutz auf die Straße.”
Merkel’s Cabinet agrees ‘climate packet,’ environmentalists say it’s paltry. “Germany’s Cabinet has agreed a climate packet, including carbon dioxide pricing via emission certificates, costlier fuels, cheaper rail, and a ban on oil heaters from 2026. A leading Green was “bitterly disappointed.””
Terezin – Theresienstadt
The New Yorker: My Terezín Diary. “What is most striking to me today about the diary I kept in the camp, seventy-five years ago, is what I left out.” By Zuzana Justman, September 9, 2019.
“On a freezing day in January, 1944, after my family and I had been confined at Terezín for six months, my mother was arrested by the S.S. and placed in a basement cell in the dreaded prison at their camp headquarters. Not even her lover, who was a member of the Terezín Aeltestenrat, or Council of Elders—the Jewish governing body—could get her released. I was twelve years old, and I was afraid that I would never see her again. But on February 21, 1944, all I wrote in my diary was “Mommy was away from us.“ What is most striking to me today about the diary I kept seventy-five years ago is what I left out.”

Kritik von Umweltverbänden reißt nicht ab
Deutsche Welle: Hamburg Cruise Days: Muss das sein? “Hamburg feiert die Kreuzfahrt – und wird hunderttausenden Besuchern ein wahres Spektakel bescheren. Umweltverbände kritisieren die Hamburg Cruise Days als falsches Signal in der Klimadebatte.”
“Umweltverbände kritisieren die Cruise Days seit Jahren. Malte Siegert, Leiter des Ressorts Natur- und Umweltpolitik beim NABU Hamburg, hält sie für eine “Spaßveranstaltung, die Hamburgs Luft unnötig belastet.” Im Gespräch mit der DW kritisiert er, dass die Veranstalter die Menschen nicht über die gesundheitlichen Risiken der Veranstaltung aufklären würden – obwohl sie sich derer bewusst seien. “Das ist ein Totalversagen von Politik und Verwaltung”, findet Siegert.”
