CNN —Julian Naglesmann, Germany’s national soccer team manager, opened up about the death of his father in an interview with Der Spiegel, revealing he was a German spy and later took his own life. Even my grandfather believed his son was a soldier,” Nagelsmann told the German publication. It wasn’t until the former Bayern Munich manager was 15 or 16 that he learned his father worked for the secret service, he said. Julian Nagelsmann won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in 2022. He was sacked by Bayern Munich in March 2023 during his second season in charge after the club slipped from the top of the Bundesliga table.

☆ Disney accused of withholding hundreds of millions of dollars from 'Avatar' sequel financier

Hollywood financer TSG Entertainment is suing Disney for breach of contract. TSG co-finances the production and marketing costs of films in exchanges for a share of the defined gross receipts after the film's release. The group has helped co-finance around 140 films produced by 20th Century Fox, which Disney acquired in 2019, including "Avatar: The Way of Water." Noticing a decline in profits, TSG requested an audit of a sampling of three of the films it financed for 20th Century Fox. "Most egregiously, this scheme triggered a provision in the [revenue participation agreement] that entitles Fox to a 50% share of TSG's profits after the winding-up of TSG's investment vehicle."

☆ Britain's BrewDog aims to put Punk IPA on the map in China

Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Elvis Juice and Hazy Jane have helped turn BrewDog into a household name in Britain. "I think the internationalisation of our business is kind of very key to our IPO plans," BrewDog founder and chief executive James Watt told Reuters. While BrewDog has had a presence in China since 2015, Watt said it had been hard to scale up without a local partner. It's a similar model to a partnership deal BrewDog signed with Asahi in Japan, which saw sales there double in its first year. In 2021, the last year for which results are available, it made an operating loss of 5.5 million pounds ($6.6 million) on revenues of 286 million pounds.

BERLIN, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio will install swapping stations, where drivers can switch their car battery for a fully-charged one, at 20 charging parks in Germany owned by utility EnBW (EBKG.DE), the utility provider said on Thursday. Nio launched in Germany in October on a leasing model, with users leasing cars with a 75 gigawatt hour battery for 1,199-1,295 euros ($1,171-$1,264) a month depending on the length of the subscription, which can be as short as a month. The carmaker, which is aiming for 120 swapping stations in Europe by the end of 2023, opened its first swapping station in Germany in late September in Zusmarshausen in collaboration with charging operator Sortimo and mobility technology company TSG. EnBW, which is investing over 100 million euros ($105.26 million) a year in expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure, plans to expand its partnership with Nio to install more swapping stations in future, the provider's statement said.
