German energy prices are so high that some companies are considering leaving the country altogether, according to Siegfried Russwurm, head of the German Industry Federation (BDI). CNBC's Annette Weisbach asked Russwurm whether the ongoing energy situation was "bad enough" for companies to relocate, to which he responded: "It is indeed." "A lot of family-owned companies ... have very operational plans to relocate," Russwurm said, adding that the current business conditions in Germany had created a "cocktail" of obstacles for companies. "In my view Germany is an attractive location for both new and existing companies," Habeck said, according to a translation by CNBC. "Of course, materials industries are under pressure as a result of higher energy prices, but there are political decisions to be made."

FRANKFURT/BERLIN, June 16 (Reuters) - A Chinese delegation led by Premier Li Qiang will meet Germany's top CEOs next week as part of a visit to Europe, hoping to strengthen ties at a time when Berlin is pursuing a strategy to lessen its economic dependence on Beijing.

They're layered with treacherous obstacles like mines, ditches, and anti-tank dragons teeth. Close up of Russian trenches, fortifications, and tank obstacles in the Kherson region on November 15, 2022. Dragons teeth obstacles can be seen in the three rows of gray dots before the trenches and fortified positions. Nazi Germany's defenses, like the Siegfried Line built to defend its west, also featured dragon's teeth, machine-gun pillboxes, razor wire and mines. As Insider's Jake Epstein has reported, Russian positions may be vulnerable to attack from assaults that cross open terrain and steer clear of roads.

"Domestic politics could distort the incentives South Korean leaders face when it comes to limiting their nuclear options over the long run." Nuclear expert Siegfried Hecker warned in January there could be disastrous downsides to Seoul acquiring its own nuclear weapons. The United States once stationed hundreds of tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea and has made other agreements to reassure Seoul. Choi Il, a retired South Korean submarine captain, told Reuters that South Korea's fundamental answer to the growing North Korean threat remains unchanged. "If you strike us with nuclear weapons, then we will strike back with our own."
WHY IS SOUTH KOREA WORRIED? U.S. "extended deterrence" protection for South Korea rests on a simple, if grim, assumption: if North Korea were to attack South Korea with nuclear weapons, it would face devastating U.S. retaliatory strikes. Yoon vowed in his election campaign to seek redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea and possibly "nuclear sharing," meaning joint command over U.S. weapons. But his comments have driven a growing debate that one former senior U.S. defense official said threatens to normalize a once unthinkable concept of a South Korean nuclear arsenal. WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPLICATIONS OF A NUCLEAR SOUTH KOREA?
April 24 (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp (TKAG.DE) Chief Executive Martina Merz, who launched the conglomerate's largest structural overhaul, is seeking to step down, the German industrial group said on Monday, without providing a reason for the move. Shares in the submarines-to-car parts firm plunged after the announcement and were down 9.2% at 1250 GMT. This is challenging, but necessary," Thyssenkrupp Chairman Siegfried Russwurm said. "Martina Merz has taken over a very difficult task at a challenging time and since then has initiated a fundamental change process at Thyssenkrupp with great commitment and expertise," Russwurm said.

New York CNN —Several Anheuser-Busch facilities received threats last week, a company spokesperson confirmed, following weeks of backlash against Bud Light because it sponsored two Instagram posts from a transgender woman. Mulvaney’s timeline shows one previous post that is also marked as a Bud Light partnership. Siegfried Anthony/STAR MAX/IPx 2023/APMulvaney is among many social media personalities that Bud Light partners with, Anheuser-Busch said in a statement to CNN last week. “F**k Bud Light, F**k Anheuser-Busch,” he said. Anheuser-Busch (BUD) is set to report its first-quarter financial results, including revenue, on May 4.
BERLIN, April 15 (Reuters) - Germany's BDI industry association expects exports to grow by 2% in 2023, double its forecast in January, its president told the Rheinische Post newspaper in comments published on Saturday. "Things are looking up, but only slowly - we must not be satisfied with that," BDI President Siegfried Russwurm told the newspaper. Even with the improved outlook, Germany still lags behind the forecast for global trade of 2.5% export growth, according to BDI figures cited in the report. Export growth has slowed considerably since Germany's post-pandemic recovery. The BDI president said Germany was falling behind other countries where energy prices are not as high.
Scholz set off on the one-day trip, which unusually will not include a press delegation, late on Thursday. His visit comes days after Biden's security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said that Biden only sent Abrams tanks to Ukraine because Scholz made it a pre-condition for sending German Leopards. Berlin has insisted that Biden came to see it was necessary and so the decision was consensual. "The Biden administration will use the Scholz visit to try to shift Germany’s balance in the direction of stronger pushback." Scholz and Biden would discuss ongoing support for Ukraine, the upcoming NATO summit, and cooperation on the challenges posed by China and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, U.S. officials said.
A teenager's skull bone was placed in her abdomen to preserve it after surgery. Chelsey Smith was 15 when she got in a life-threatening car crash that caused her brain to swell. To save Smith's life, consultant pediatric neurosurgeon Roddy O'Kane removed the bone under Smith's forehead to give her brain space to swell. To keep it healthy, the surgeon implanted part of Smith's skull in her abdomen, just under her skin. While the idea of keeping the skull bone in the abdomen is fairly new, the idea of drilling a hole in the skull to relieve the pressure in the skull is not.

Inflation, which slowed slightly to 11.3% in November from a high of 11.6% the month prior, is no longer driven primarily by energy costs but by a host of factors, BDI President Siegfried Russwurm said in a survey of several industry associations. The ECB has raised interest rates by a combined 2.5 percentage points since July - its fastest pace of monetary tightening on record - to counter inflation. Russwurm said more measures would be decided on by the ECB, which the BDI expects to dampen investment activity. The heads of the ZDH German association for skilled trade and the DIHK chambers of industry and commerce also do not see inflation cooling off in the near term. "A noticeable slowdown in price increases is probably not to be expected until summer 2023," said ZDH Secretary General Holger Schwannecke.
In TV, the top 10 list ranges from the indefinable second season of “The White Lotus” to laugh-out-loud comedies and smoldering fantasy shows. “Catch the Fair One” is available on Hulu and various video-on-demand platforms. “Paris, 13th District” is available on Amazon Prime Video and various video-on-demand platforms. “Peter Von Kant” is available on various video-on-demand platforms. “Tár” is available on various video-on-demand platforms.
There have been growing signs that the German economy could stave off the worst of an economic downturn triggered by a plunge in energy supply from Russia after the Ukraine invasion. Inflation slowed slightly to 11.3% in November from a high of 11.6% the month prior as energy prices eased. The Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) said there were many indications that supply chain disruptions were gradually easing. However, the DIHK warned that soaring energy prices and easing consumer sentiment were still clouding the outlook for 2023. The ZDH association of craftsmen echoed the DIHK, saying noticeably fewer orders were coming in for next year.
[1/2] Women work at the front desk of the Centum Investment Company Limited in Nairobi, Kenya November 11, 2015. REUTERS/Siegfried Modola/File PhotoNAIROBI, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Kenya's Centum Investment (CTUM.NR) said on Tuesday its pretax loss widened to 1.24 billion shillings ($10.14 million) in the first half of the year to end-September from a loss of 697 million shillings in the same period a year earlier. It said in a statement its company investment and other income fell to 713.4 million shillings from 987 million shillings, while operating and administrative costs dropped to 254.7 million shillings from 328.2 million shillings. Centum, which invests in listed firms and private companies, said company net asset value per share, a key measure of performance for investment firms, fell to 59.77 shillings from 62.10 shillings. In June, Centum said it agreed to sell its 83.4% stake in Kenya's Sidian Bank to Nigeria's Access Bank for 4.3 billion shillings.
"We will not allow unethical individuals to ruin Kenya's reputation through doping," Kenya's minister for sports, Ababu Namwamba, said on Twitter on Friday. This week Kenya's government wrote to World Athletics to try and ward off a potential ban. A spokesperson for World Athletics confirmed to Reuters receipt of the letter. Fifty-five Kenyan athletes are currently banned and eight provisionally suspended, according to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), an independent body formed by World Athletics to combat doping in the sport. Kenya is a 'Category A' country under World Athletics' Anti-Doping Rules, which means its athletes must undergo at least three no-notice, out-of-competition urine and blood tests ahead of major events.
Under a second stage of Germany's plan, the brake would cut the gas price to 12 cents from March through to the end of April 2024 on 80% of usage. For large industrial customers, a price brake of 7 cents is to apply to the procurement price from January 2023. Hans Juergen Kerkhoff, president of the German Steel Federation, said the scheme was a key building block to support companies during the energy crisis. Comparison portal Verivox said its calculations showed that the brake proposal would reduce household gas costs by around 41%. "The gas price brake is a very important first step that gives many companies back some confidence that they can overcome the crisis," VCI Managing Director Wolfgang Grosse Entrup said in a statement, calling for an electricity price brake as well.

Moldova, care stabilește pentru 2021 – 2024 până la 600 de milioane de euro asistență macrofinanciară, subvenții și investiții. „Este singurul astfel de pachet economic acordat de Uniunea Europeană unei țări din Vecinătatea estică”, susține deputatul european Siegfried Mureșan. Potrivit Comisiei Europene, planul se bazează pe cinci piloni: managementul finanțelor publice și guvernanță economică, economie competitivă, comerț și IMM-uri, infrastructură, educație și angajabilitate și reforma statului de drept și a justiției.

Siegfried Mureșan: Alegerile corecte sunt prioritatea zero pentru o colaborare strânsă dintre RM și UEÎn schimbul pachetului de asistență financiară în valoare de până la 600 de milioane de euro, anunțat de Comisia Europeană pentru Republica Moldova, e necesară reformarea justiției și a adminstrației publice. O spune europarlamentarul român Siegfried Mureșan. Președintele Delegației Parlamentului European pentru relația cu Republica Moldova, Siegfried Mureșan, spune că angajamentele pe care Republica Moldova va trebui să și le onoreze pentru a beneficia de asistență financiară nu sunt noi pentru țara noastră. E simplu, de la Republica Moldova se dorește justiție corectă, liberă, care să dea aceleași decizii pentru toată lumea. Este important ca după alegerile din 11 iulie să existe un Guvern proeuropean care să se apuce imediat de treabă”, a spus Siegfried Mureșan în cadrul emisiunii „În Profunzime” de la ProTV Chișinău.
