By 902 0

As many as nine people have been killed in a shooting incident in the German city of Hanau, which is situated in the western region of the country.

Not only has the incident taken the life of over nine persons, but also it has injured several others.

Sadly, the police have failed to arrest the attacker alive. At this moment, it remains unclear why the attacker has gone this extend.

Notably, in the suspect’s home where he has been found dead by the police, they have recovered another dead body.

The identities of the suspect and the person, who has been found dead by the police in the house of the suspect, have not yet been publicised by the police.

The unexplainable increase in the number of incidences of gun shooting worries the west, especially the US and Germany.

What it exposes is the flaws in the gun laws in the west.

As per a preliminary report, the German attacker has used his licensed gun to carry out this heinous act.

An investigation is on.

It is high time for the west to rethink whether they should revamp their gun laws or not.

Far-rightist gains momentum in East Germany

By 751 0

Far-rightist groups have emerged powerful in certain regions in East Germany, which was once the stronghold of leftism.

East Germany was formerly a leftist controlled region. Post the Second World War, it fell under the influence of the USSR, which was then the apostle of global socialism.

The emergence of far-rightist in the east is not less than a surprise. It is actually a new phenomenon.

Prior to the fall of Berlin wall – the wall which separated the leftist controlled East Germany from the liberalist controlled West Germany, it was not even a distance possibility.

Sadly, what is witnessed at this point of time is a dangerous phenomenon. Lately, far-right groups have organised several attacks in the country.

Recently, around twelve members of a far rightist organisation have been booked by the German police as their involvement in several political crimes in the name of far-right has been identified.

As per a police report, they had intention to attack asylum seekers, religious centers and politicians.

The Germany government has stepped up their ante against the far-right. It has recently launched several operations to contain the activities of far-right in the country – especially in the eastern region of the country.

Moscow and Kyiv have also decided to swap all those who have been booked in connection with the military action in the eastern region of Ukraine.

Despite all these, the meeting has remained silent on some of the very sensitive issues, like the Ukraine’s longstanding demand of making the eastern region of the country free from the clutches of Russia.

Ukraine has also refused to comment on the Russian demand that a key rebel held territory in the eastern region of Ukraine should be declared as a special territory. It has also declined to speak on the demand that the members of the rebel force who has secured the control of some regions in the eastern region of Ukraine should be awarded amnesty.

France unhappy with US’ protectionist attitude

By 854 0

A new statement made by France President Emanuel Macron clearly indicates that the European country of France is unhappy with the protectionist attitude of the United States of America.

As the NATO members are at the doorstep of a crucial meeting, the statement made by France is of great importance.

Beneath the statement lies a clear message that France no longer trusts the security offered by the US.

Its advice for Europe is crystal clear. It wants to see a European army formed, against the interest of the NATO leader.

The root of the crisis lies in the disinterest of the US to use its money for the betterment of the NATO and to engage more with its NATO allies.

The change of attitude was evident when the US reduced its spending on the NATO budget imposing pressure on its allies to spend more on the said budget and when it decided to pull out its force from Syria, paving way for the aggression of Turkey, without discussing the decision with its NATO partners.

Though Germany’s decision on this matter is not different, it is not that adamant as that of its neighbour.

Undisputedly, a European army is a German dream too.

From an aggressive China and an unpredictable Russia to a protective US, Germany and France are no short of reason for the consideration of their dream plan.

Thieves break into Germany’s Green Vault

By 1059 0

A group of thieves have broken into the largest treasure collection in Europe, known as Green Vault – situated in Germany.

Several treasures worth millions are feared to have been stolen by the group. No information regarding that has been released yet.

The German police are examining the view. They have not yet responded to any media personal.

It is yet to know whether they have received any clue about the group who has committed the theft.

Green Vault is an 18th century treasure collection. It is the contribution of the then ruler of Saxony, where the centre is located.

It houses several rare diamonds and similar expensive things.

It is important to understand how the group has managed to escape the security cover offered to the centre to avoid similar failures in future. It is also pertinent to understand has the theft been the contribution of any security failure; if it is so, those responsible should be brought to justice.

West closely observes developments in Hong Kong

By 751 0

The western powers, such as the US, UK, Germany and France, are closely observing the developments in the Asian city of Hong Kong.

For the last few months, the city has been struggling under the clutches of violence. Several people have lost their life due to violence in the city.

Recently, an elderly man, who was working as a cleaning staff, lost his life when he accidently trapped between two protesting groups aggressively throwing stones against each other. He was struck by a stone. He later succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment in a hospital.

Similarly, a young protester has lost his life last week when he had fallen from a building while resisting a police action.

Protesters say that as the police use fatal weapons against them they find it important to upgrade the materials they use for their defence.

What the streets of the city have been witnessing for the last few days has been nothing less than an aggressive street war between the police and the protesters.

When the police have used real bullets against the protesters, the latter has increased the effectiveness of their defence materials, like petrol bombs and stones, considerably.

With China not ready to pay heed to what its integral part has to say, it is up to the west to decide whether this city deserves peace or not.

The west earlier urged the Asian country of China to take a humanitarian stand on the issue concerning to the city of Hong Kong.

What has China repeatedly proved is the country is not ready to consider the Hong Kong issue through the prism shown to them by the west.

Actually, the west is the backbone of the Hong Kong economy. For that reason, the opinion of the west on the issue cannot be dismissed that easily.

German students reach top court with tough question

By 1148 0

Two German students have reached the corridor of the European country’s top court with the tough question of whether collecting food materials from the dustbin of a supermarket could be considered as a stealing crime.

A local court in the country earlier imposed a heavy fine on the students for the same.

Actually, the students have reached the top court to challenge the verdict made by the local court.

Many social organisations have come to the support of the students.

The main argument of the students is that by collecting food from the supermarket’s dustbin they helped the organisation to reduce the amount of waste they disposed.

Supermarkets in Germany dispose tonnes of food materials daily; it is when thousands in the country rely on food banks to meet their daily food requirement.

Inspired from the case, some European supermarkets have pledged to reduce their daily food waste considerably in the near future itself.
