After security discovered the newest addition to the museum’s collections, they promptly took down the display and the man was fired. “The supervisors notice something like this immediately,” Tine Nehler told Süddeutsche Zeitung. This means that the public prosecutor’s office will now decide what happens,” Christian Drexler, chief superintendent of the Munich Police, told CNN. The man was banned from the museum as part of his termination agreement, Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

CNN —The German states of Bavaria and Hesse vote in regional elections on Sunday, in what is widely being seen as a test-case for Germany’s shifting political landscape. In Hesse – home to Frankfurt, Germany’s financial hub – dissatisfaction with Germany’s federal government threatens to deliver a blow to Scholz’s coalition. German flags are carried at an AfD election campaign event.

Images from amateur Russian trainspotting websites appear to show Putin's train. The train is painted to look like an ordinary Russian Railways train. Among the parts of the train detailed is car number 021-78630, with a gym and spa for Putin, according to the Dossier Center. The Dossier Center is backed by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, an exiled former Russian oil tycoon turned Kremlin critic. A glossy brochure made by Zircon itself shows a luxurious gym and spa on wheels designed for Putin, the Dossier Center says.

A glossy brochure made by Zircon itself shows a luxurious gym and spa on wheels designed for Putin, the Dossier Center says. The room itself, documents from the Dossier Center suggest, is outfitted to help prevent the use of listening devices. The train is painted to look like an ordinary Russian Railways train. “There is a ghost train on the railways of our country,” one trainspotter wrote alongside an image of what appears to be Putin’s train he posted on rutrain.com. It is through the image of those domes that we know that Putin’s train carries the ordinary external markings of a Russian train.

Russia plans to take over its neighbor Belarus, according to a leaked document from Putin's office. The plan is to create a "union state" led by Russia by 2030, the document says. The internal strategy document lays out how Russia plans to get rid of what remains of Belarus' independence over a years-long plan. This would involve gradually creating stronger pro-Russia sentiment, expanding Russia's military presence there, and making it easier for citizens to get Russian passports. The ultimate goal is to create a common "union state" that is under Russian leadership, it said.

Statele Unite au spionat lideri politici din Europa, printre care cancelarul german Angela Merkel, cu ajutorul serviciilor daneze de informaţii, arată rezultatele unei investigații jurnalistice desfășurate în comun de mai multe posturi de televiziune și publicații europene. Postul public danez Danmarks Radio (DR) susține că Agenţia americană pentru Securitate Naţională (NSA) s-a conectat la cablurile de telecomunicaţii daneze pentru a spiona responsabili de prim-plan şi oficiali cu rang înalt din Germania, Suedia, Norvegia şi Franţa. Pentru a face acest lucru, NSA a beneficiat de colaborarea serviciilor daneze de informaţii militare (FE), în virtutea unor acorduri încheiate. Postul danez a dezvăluit aceste informaţii după o anchetă desfăşurată în comun cu canalul suedez SVT, canalul norvegian NRK, canalele germane NDR, WDR şi cotidianul Suddeutsche Zeitung, precum şi cu ziarul francez Le Monde, relatează AFP, citată de Agerpres. Încă din noiembrie 2020, DR relatase că Statele Unite au utilizat cablurile daneze pentru a spiona industria de apărare daneză şi europeană, din 2012 până în 2015.

Агентство национальной безопасности (АНБ) США с помощью Дании в 2012-2014 годах следило за канцлером Германии Ангелой Меркель, главой МИД ФРГ Франком-Вальтером Штайнмайером и кандидатом в канцлеры ФРГ от Социал-демократической партии Германии (СДПГ) Пеером Штайнбрюком, сообщила Suddeutsche Zeitung. По сведениям издания, датские спецслужбы предоставили американцам доступ на специальную станцию возле Копенгагена, откуда осуществлялась прослушка. В нем указывалось, что датские спецслужбы оказывали помощь США в шпионаже за ведущими политиками Швеции, Норвегии, Нидерландов, Франции и Германии. В правительстве Германии заявили, что не знали о слежке из Дании, о сложившейся ситуации канцлеру ФРГ Ангеле Меркель стало известно из опубликованного материала. Напомним, в 2013 году экс-сотрудник ЦРУ и АНБ США Эдвард Сноуден сообщил СМИ, что крупнейшие американские интернет-компании предоставили ЦРУ и АНБ США доступ к своим серверам, дав возможность следить за людьми по всему миру.
