Several factors played a role in the change, Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro research at ING Research, told CNBC. […] At the same time, decoupling from China, weaker domestic demand in China and China being able to produce goods it previously imported from Germany (mainly cars) reduced German exports to China," he said. China has been Germany's biggest trading partner for years, but the gap between China and the U.S. narrowed in recent years. The U.S. has also long been a bigger market for German exports than China, Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank, told CNBC.

One key concern is that Ukraine may need on-the-ground help from German soldiers to work the Taurus missiles — a red line for Scholz. Since last November, the CDU has repeatedly tabled votes on sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine in Germany's parliament and failed. Annalena Baerbock, Green party foreign secretary, meanwhile, discussed Taurus missiles with U.K. foreign minister David Cameron. Separately, a high-profile Green party MP joined forces with a prominent CDU politician to pen an op-ed advocating for the delivery of Taurus missiles. "Unfortunately the Taurus debate keeps sucking up all the oxygen in the room, repeating itself over and over again.

CNN —While there was an abundance of daring looks at the Oscars red carpet this year, one of the evening’s most memorable outfits came from Hollywood newcomer Sandra Hüller. The second winged look — also from Schiaparelli — solidified Hüller as a red carpet risk taker.

The decision has increased tensions within Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition, in particular between junior partners the Greens and the Free Democrats (FDP). But Scholz is unlikely to call for new elections as they would not benefit any of the coalition partners. "Scholz definitely wants to keep the government together and believes this will work as none of the three coalition partners stand to benefit from a break," a source close to the chancellor said. "In reality, the chancellor should dismiss his coalition partners now." "And the strength of the AfD is also the reason why no actors - not even the conservatives - currently have any interest in new elections."

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany needs to start deporting “on a large scale” migrants who don't have the right to stay in the country, adding to increasingly tough talk on migration since his coalition performed badly in two state elections earlier this month. Mainstream conservatives won both votes and the far-right Alternative for Germany made significant gains. Last week, Scholz announced legislation to ease deportations of unsuccessful asylum-seekers. On Monday, the government notified the European Commission of temporary border controls at the Polish, Czech and Swiss frontiers. He argued that there needs to be a “fundamental turnaround in migration policy.”Asked what the chancellor thought of that idea, Scholz spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit replied: “Nothing.”

Both states are led by the country's main opposition Union bloc, made up of the Christian Democratic Union and the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union. In Hesse, they give the CDU a double-digit lead in a three-way contest for the governor's office among the conservative party, Scholz's center-left Social Democrats and the environmentalist Greens. Scholz's government also faces intense pressure to reduce the number of migrants arriving, a major issue in the run-up to the elections. Green challenger Tarek Al-Wazir, currently the deputy governor to conservative incumbent Boris Rhein, also faces an uphill struggle. In Bavaria, governor Markus Soeder is calling for voters to back "continuity and stability."

The FDP looked on track to fail to reach the 5% threshold to enter parliament in Bavaria, and possibly Hesse too. They and the AfD were the only parties to make gains in the Bavaria election. Still, coalition parties were likely to continue to follow increasingly separate paths to focus on issues relevant to their core electorate in response to the bad results, he said, while all taking a tougher stance on migration. "We must in the future better communicate SPD projects and be more visible," SPD lawmaker Sebastian Roloff told German outlet Handelsblatt.

REUTERS/Angelika Warmuth/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsMUNICH, Sept 6 (Reuters) - German carmakers are ready to tackle their worst crisis, an executive at Chinese EV maker Xpeng said on Wednesday, as China's carmakers expand overseas, putting pressure on Europe in the race to electrify. Globally, China leads EV sales, the latest data from tech industry researcher Counterpoint shows. The U.S. has the fastest growing EV sales with Germany in third place. "The Chinese companies are flooding into overseas markets like mushrooms, deepening their sense of crisis," Gu said. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said EV competition from abroad should be a spur, not a worry for German carmakers.

Globally, China leads EV sales, the latest data from tech industry researcher Counterpoint shows. The U.S. has the fastest growing EV sales with Germany in third place. Chinese companies including Xpeng, BYD and Leapmotor (9863.HK) are seeking the higher margins and faster growth overseas markets can offer, which means they are challenging European companies on their home turf with cheaper models. "The Chinese companies are flooding into overseas markets like mushrooms, deepening their sense of crisis," Gu said.

BERLIN, April 16 (Reuters) - The German state of Bavaria wants to continue operating nuclear power plants under state own responsibility, State Premier Markus Soeder was quoted as saying, bringing a possible comeback for the power energy Germany finished phasing out on Saturday. The state, home to many of Germany's most successful exporting manufacturers, wants the federal government to change the nuclear exit law to allow operating such nuclear power stations under the state's own responsibility, Soeder said. "Bavaria is ready to take on this responsibility," he said, adding that Bavaria also wants to be a pioneer in nuclear fusion research and to construct of its own research reactor. Germany pulled the plug on its last three nuclear power stations on Saturday, including Bavaria's Isar II, ending a six-decade programme as Berlin enacts its plan for fully-renewable electricity generation by 2035. Isar II, run by German utility E.ON (EONGn.DE), is a 1,400 megawatt (MW) plant, able to power the equivalent of a metropolis.
BERLIN, April 16 (Reuters) - Germany's Environment Ministry on Sunday rejected a demand from the state of Bavaria to allow it to continue operating nuclear power plants, saying jurisdiction for such facilities lies with the federal government. Germany pulled the plug on its last three nuclear power stations on Saturday, ending a six-decade programme, as Berlin enacts a plan to move to fully renewable electricity generation by 2035. The state is home to Isar II, run by German utility E.ON (EONGn.DE), which is a 1,400 megawatt (MW) plant, able to power the equivalent of a metropolis. Environment Minister Steffi Lemke said the authorisation for Isar II had expired and restarting its reactor would require a new license. "It is important to accept the state of the art in science and technology and to respect the decision of the German Bundestag," Lemke said in a statement sent to Reuters.
MUNICH, Germany Feb 17 (Reuters) - Nearly 50 lawmakers from both major U.S. political parties on Friday attended the start of Europe's premier annual security conference to affirm bipartisan support for U.S. aid to Ukraine. But Lindsey Graham, a leading advocate of aiding Ukraine, said in Munich that China would be encouraged to invade Taiwan if the United States and its European allies failed to back Ukraine. But Republicans and some Democrats also say President Joe Biden's administration should better explain its Ukraine policy. The United States is Ukraine's leading military aid supplier at some $30 billion, including long-range artillery, air defence systems and advanced armored vehicles. There are now calls on both sides of the Atlantic for Ukraine to receive advanced Western fighter jets.
[1/2] U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is welcomed at Munich's airport by Bavarian state premier Markus Soeder before heading to the venue of this year's Security Conference in Munich, Germany, February 16, 2023. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris are among many top officials attending the Munich Security Conference, a major annual global gathering focused on defence and diplomacy. As Russian troops massed on Ukraine's borders, Western leaders in Munich urged President Vladimir Putin not to invade and warned of dire consequences if he did so. Delegates will also discuss the far-reaching global impact of the war, on issues ranging from energy supply to food prices. This year, Russian leaders will be notable by their absence.
On energy, the ministry has “completely overhauled the previous government’s Russia-friendly policy” to reduce Germany’s dependence on Russian natural gas, it said. “That tells you something.”Germany consistently underestimated the Russian threat and gave counterintelligence work a low priority, but that is changing now in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, experts and Western officials said. Last April, Berlin expelled 40 Russian Embassy employees for allegedly working for Russian intelligence services. Germany’s intelligence services failed to anticipate that Russia would invade Ukraine, a failure that has yet to be the subject of any publicly released “lessons learned” review. Such a review would show Germany is serious about altering its approach, the Western official said.

A huge aquarium in the center of Berlin burst Friday, causing a wave of devastation in and around the Sea Life tourist attraction, German police said Friday. A police officer walks in front of debris after the huge aquarium burst through the hotel lobby. Witness Gwendolin Szyszkowitz told German news channel n-tv that she heard a loud bang and initially feared a bomb had exploded. Operators say the aquarium has the biggest cylindrical tank in the world and contained 1,500 tropical fish of 80 different species before the incident. The aquarium, which was last modernized in 2020, is a major tourist magnet in Berlin.

CNN —Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge broke his own world record, lowering the mark to 2:01:09, as he powered to victory at the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. Shaving 30 seconds off the record he set at the same event four years ago, Kipchoge set a pace that no one could match over the entire 26.2 miles and secured his 15th career marathon win out of just 17 starts. For this official record, Kipchoge started fast, setting a 10km time split of just 28min 23sec and reaching the halfway mark in under an hour. After 25km, Kipchoge began to pull away from Belihu too, and though his blistering pace slowed slightly, he remained comfortably ahead of the world record all the way to the line. Rosemary Wanjiru of Kenya finished second with a time of 2:18:00, while Ethiopia’s Tigist Abayechew finished three seconds later in third place.
Oktoberfest atrage de obicei aproximativ 6 milioane de vizitatori în oraşul Munchen în fiecare an, iar mulţi dintre participanţi sunt turişti veniţi din străinătate. Participanţii stau aşezaţi la mese comune foarte lungi, beau bere, mănâncă friptură de porc, cârnaţi şi covrigi, în timp ce ascultă cântece interpretate de fanfare locale. „De asemenea, în clasicele săli dedicate festivalului berii, măsuri precum distanţarea socială şi purtarea măştilor sanitare nu pot fi implementate”, a adăugat Markus Soeder. Germania a vaccinat până în prezent împotriva maladiei Covid-19 peste 28% din populaţia sa. Ediţia din acest an a festivalului Oktoberfest era programată în perioada 18 septembrie - 3 octombrie.

Oktoberfest, cel mai mare festival al berii din lume, organizat în Germania, nu va avea loc nici în 2021, pentru al doilea an consecutiv, din cauza pandemiei de coronavirus, a anunţat preşedintele-premier al landului Bavaria, citat de Reuters, citează Agerpres. Premierul landului Bavaria, Markus Soeder, a declarat că a fost nevoit să anuleze încă o dată astfel de evenimente, precum Oktoberfest, în 2021, deoarece ele necesită ample angajamente financiare, iar riscurile sanitare sunt prea mari, ţinând cont de incertitudinile ce marchează evoluţia pandemiei de coronavirus. "De asemenea, în clasicele săli dedicate festivalului berii, măsuri precum distanţarea socială şi purtarea măştilor sanitare nu pot fi implementate", a adăugat Markus Soeder.

Agenția Europeană a Medicamentului va desfășura în Rusia o inspecție a bunelor practici clinice în ce privește felul în care s-au desfășurat testele clinice pe voluntari ale vaccinului rusesc Sputnik, în contextul în care agenția se află într-o procedură de evaluare a acestui ser pentru o posibilă aprobare a utilizării sale în Uniunea Europeană. Rusia a precizat că militari şi funcţionari au participat la testele clinice pentru validarea vaccinului Sputnik V, dezvoltat de laboratorul Gamaleia, și a asigurat că nu au existat presiuni asupra persoanelor care au luat parte la aceste teste. Mai multe state din UE şi-au manifestat interesul pentru vaccinul Sputnik V, dar dintre acestea până în prezent doar Ungaria l-a utilizat, în timp ce altele acuză Moscova că-şi foloseşte vaccinul ca instrument geopolitic. Guvernul federal german condus de Angela Merkel a confirmat că este dispus să accepte folosirea vaccinului Sputnik V, dacă acesta va fi autorizat de EMA. Premierul landului german Bavaria, Markus Soeder, a anunţat miercuri că guvernul său regional a negociat un contract pentru achiziţia a 2,5 milioane de doze de vaccin Sputnik V odată ce acesta va fi autorizat.

Aceste persoane ar putea beneficia progresiv de libertăţi mai mari, inclusiv acelea de a merge în magazine sau frizerii, a spus Spahn pentru ediţia de duminică a cotidianului Bild. Jens Spahn a subliniat că acest lucru ar fi important pentru retaileri şi pentru o redeschidere graduală, pe bază de teste. Ministrul a arătat, totuşi, că prioritară este gestionarea actualului val trei de infectări. ''Sunt necesare reguli uniforme, mai degrabă decât un mozaic de reguli imposibile în landuri diferite'', a spus Soeder pentru Bild am Sonntag.
