REUTERS/Michele TantussiJuly 11 (Reuters) - The European Union's population rose for the first time in three years in 2022, boosted by migration into the bloc even as more people died than were born, the EU's statistics office Eurostat said on Tuesday. The political alliance's population rose from 446.7 million on Jan. 1, 2022 to 448.4 million people a year later. "The observed population growth can be largely attributed to the increased migratory movements post-COVID-19 and to the mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine who received temporary protection status in EU countries," Eurostat said. Eurostat said only seven countries recorded a drop in their populations in 2022, including Italy whose population fell by nearly 180,000 people. The twenty remaining countries within the bloc saw their populations rise.

[1/7] BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 30: King Charles III addresses members of the German Bundestag at the Reichstag Building on March 30, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The king, on the second day of a three-day trip to Germany, alternated between German and English for the half-hour speech, which won a standing ovation from lawmakers. Both Britain and Germany had shown "vital leadership", Charles said, praising Berlin's decision to provide large military support to Ukraine as "remarkably courageous, important and appreciated". Throughout his visit, German officials have praised his interest in environmental causes and sustainability that has shone through in the engagements he has chosen to understake. Charles had been due to travel first to France but cancelled that part of the tour due to violent social unrest there.

BERLIN, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Meinhard von Gerkan, one of Germany's most famous architects who designed Berlin's Tegel Airport and the capital's main railway station, has died at age 87, his office said on Thursday. A year after graduating from his architecture studies in 1964, von Gerkan founded a partnership with Volkwin Marg, which survives under the name "von Gerkan, Marg und Partner" (gmp). Von Gerkan also designed Berlin's main railway station, which is near the chancellery and within sight of the Reichstag parliament's glass cupola, though he fell out with rail operator Deutsche Bahn, which he said mutilated his design. Von Gerkan said Deutsche Bahn had made the underground hall look like a supermarket when it should have been an undulating, cathedral-like space. In 2008, Bahn and von Gerkan settled their dispute, with the rail operator paying an undisclosed sum to a foundation set up by the architect's office.

☆ Noul aeroport internaţional din Berlin se deschide în mijlocul unei crize a industriei aeronautice. După 14 ani de construcţie şi şase inaugurări amânate

După 14 ani de construcţie şi şase inaugurări amânate, noul aeroport internaţional din Berlin (Berlin Brandenburg Airport – BER) va spune sâmbătă bun venit primilor săi pasageri, însă momentul în care are loc inaugurarea nu putea fi unul mai nepotrivit, transmite Reuters, citat de Agerpres. Destinat să înlocuiască aeroporturile existente – Tegel şi Schonefeld – Aeroportul Internaţional Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt (BER) trebuia să fie inaugurat festiv pe 3 iunie 2012. Economiştii au descris compania de stat care va opera noul aeroport, Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB), drept o gaură neagră financiară. La finele lui 2019, FBB datora băncilor şi proprietarilor săi, Guvernul federal german şi landurile Berlin şi Brandenburg, aproximativ 4,1 miliarde euro. Chiar şi înaintea pandemiei, noul aeroport nu era aşteptat să genereze o creştere a veniturilor, fiind destinat în principal să înlocuiască cele două aeroporturi mai vechi.
