Protests of up to 30,000 people have already taken place in cities including Berlin, Leipzig, Rostock, Essen and Cologne. Demonstrators gathered outside the capital’s redbrick town hall on Wednesday holding placards reading “Nazis out” and chanting slogans against far-right AfD politician Björn Höcke. The gathering of AfD members, neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists took place at a lakeside hotel outside the city of Potsdam on November 25. The AfD told CNN that the two “separated with mutual agreement.”However, the idea of a “mass deportation plan” was openly supported by one AfD representative in the state of Brandenberg. Sebastian Christoph Gollnow/picture alliance/dpa/Getty ImagesAsked whether he thought the protests would encourage people to stop voting for the AfD, Abaci was hopeful.

An increasing number of women are choosing to undergo IVF and egg freezing treatments abroad. My gynecologist, who is the same age as me, told me it was a good time to consider egg freezing and I decided to give it a go. It books trips, including flights and accommodation, for patients who want to undergo egg freezing and IVF abroad. I thought I could make this into a positive experience — and get that negative connotations about egg freezing out of my head. My friends asked me how it was and they're considering egg freezing more seriously.

Drones and dual-use goods, however, won't trigger a response from authorities in the European Union, sources told Politico, as they aren't something that would have been explicitly agreed upon in sanctions.
