1. The people see nothing – or is it?

In the Mask affair of the Union the spotlight is again from the CDU to the CSU: “The Bavarian politician Alfred Sauter could be straight out of the cult series “Kir Royal” to the fictional Munich gossip reporter Baby Schimmerlos: for over 30 years for the CSU Landtag, intrigue, steeled, affair, tried and tested,” says my colleague, Sven Röbel. As Sauter 1999 had to give up because of a property scandal from his Post as Minister of justice, called the CSU politician in his deposition as “sheep shit”.

Now Sauter is caught up in the maelstrom of the protective masks affair of the Union, such as Sven has researched. The General Prosecutor’s office is investigating the Ex-Minister and current members because of the initial suspicion of the Bribery of elected representatives. Investigators searched the offices and apartments. From the grey Eminence of the CSU “a Eminence in the gray zone,” as the “Münchner Merkur” wrote a headline as “Kir Royal”.

2. The Killer Argument

Press And Hold Vladimir Putin a murderer? “I do,” says Joe Biden now, in an Interview with ABC News. Donald Trump said on Fox News in 2017 in a similar Situation: “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” Two presidents, two attitudes.

Biden announced now, Putin will have consequences that Russia tried Presidential election in November – this is the conclusion of the U.S. intelligence services, like yesterday published a report shows. “He will pay a price,” says Biden about Putin, to substantiate it. “You will see it soon.”

“In the election campaign, Biden called the Kremlin chief and his closest Confidante “KGB-villains'””says my colleague Roland Nelles, our Washington correspondent. “Alone, what follows from the sharp tones of Washington, specifically, is so far unclear.” The Dilemma: on the one Hand, the US wants to keep Russia in check, on the other hand, Putin’s country is too big and important to any cooperation to exclude. “Biden is likely to drive a dual strategy: The Tough Talk will continue with some of the sanctions flank,” says Roland. “And at the same time, he will go here and there to Putin, if it uses the US – for example, in the new edition of the Iran agreement, or in the case of disarmament negotiations.”

The Kremlin is silent yet to Biden’s word. “However, Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the state Duma, has already set the tone,” says my colleague Christina lever, our correspondent in Moscow. Volodin wrote in Telegram: “Putin is our President, the attacks on him are attacks on our country.” It was clear that Biden would strike a different tone than Trump. “But who thought that it would be a clear critical, but in a pragmatic way-sober – will now be taught, in another,” says Christina. “As much as Biden, none of his predecessors went for the already poor Russian-American relations that does not Bode well, also because the two States are dependent on each other in important issues such as arms control.” The have shown the extension of the New Start Treaty just.

3. The dirty fabric of AstraZeneca

Possible complications investigate: Yes. Vaccinations no stop:. The world health organization has today clear to the incidents around AstraZeneca Vaccine expressed (more here). Accordingly, the British way of the Right: There Boris Johnson seems to be working again to do the impossible. “With a successful vaccination campaign to be the Land of the “plague island” became the European Envy”, reported by my colleague Jörg Schindler, our correspondent in London. “Needed a lot of mind – and almost as much happiness was.”

In Germany, the preparation for the curse is to become substance. As a matter of fact precautionary waiver could lead to naturally prevent thrombosis cases – but also to more Covid-19 deaths, as my colleague Julia Merlot from our science Department reported. “If the Benefit outweighs the risk also depends on the age.” (Here is the whole analysis.)

“The whole debate of Impfangst up to Impfgegnern, which is part of insanely Hyper”, my colleague Yasemin Yüksel, the host of our new podcast the MIRROR Daily says. They met in today’s episode Nera, a woman who is one of the few people in Germany with a recognised vaccination damage (in Berlin there are currently 108 cases). In 2009, Nera was against the swine flu vaccination and was diagnosed with narcolepsy, the so-called sleeping sickness. Despite her history, she says: I’m against Corona vaccination. (The whole episode, you listen here.)

And tonight?

You could, if you miss the Live concerts, even in the Bombast of the legendary Queen-appearance with Freddie Mercury at the Live Aid event 1985 sink. “Of the approximately 20-minute Clip is by far the most-watched recording of a concert on the Internet,” reported my colleague Oliver Kaever. “As long as real Live atmosphere is not in range, remembered mercury “Eyyyyoooh” at least how it feels.”

In a short nostalgia attack and I’ve wondered whether I should look for old moving boxes after the VHS tape of the concert, I had to give me sometime in the nineties, Christmas. Then it occurred to me that I was no player more. Here, then, quite unromantic, of the Link.

In this sense:
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
