#Weil we you love: Charm offensive that BVG starts to the rear

2,70 Euro für die einfache Fahrt, "ohne Rück- und Rundfahrten": Das ist vielen Berlinern zu viel

Hamburg - the citizens of Berlin of transporting enterprises do not belong necessarily to the largest popular figures of the capital. Perhaps the marketing strategists were that BVG the opinion, it would therefore be at the time for an image campaign. “Post your most beautiful BVG moments with #weilwirdichlieben! ”, they demanded Twitter account put on over one particularly for the charm offensive.

Now with the charm and the citizens of Berlin so a thing is. In addition there were recently impressive examples for the fact that it starts usually to the rear, if enterprises and public facilities call to cover it with praise hymns.

Gabriel kanzelt free trade critics off

Entschlossener Auftritt im Bundestag: "Unsere Kinder würden uns verfluchen"

Sigmar Gabriel goes into things free trade into the offensive: Despite the disputed arbitral tribunals Germany the Ceta agreement with Canada is to agree, said the minister of economics. Thus it intensifies the conflict also with SPD internal critics.

Berlin - defiance of violently disputed protective clauses for companies wants to give green light for the trade agreement Ceta to minister of economics Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) between the European Union and Canada. “If the rest of Europe the present agreement wants, (...) Germany also will then agree. That cannot be done at all differently”, said Gabriel in the Bundestag.

With this clear definition Gabriel intensifies the conflict with free trade critics, also in its own party. Social Democrats had in Septembers on their Party Congress decided that the investor protection with arbitral tribunals, before which companies payment of damages of states could to sue for, in which Ceta agreement anything to look for does not have. SPD Vice-Chairperson Ralf Stegner had already stressed, Gabriel cannot not simply over “red lines” of the party convention jump over itself.

Gabriel concerned the critics sharply. One cannot stop the entire process, only because some would feel in this country an indisposition. For Germany it is a substantial danger to decouple itself from the market to. For a “national belly navel exhibition” Europe does not have understanding.

Without the agreements Ceta with Canada and TTIP with the USA became Europe of booming Asian countries suspended. “We are as Europeans outside forwards, then for an export nation such as Germany a middle disaster” is, meant Gabriel, which also damaged in this question economic profile of its SPD to polish up wants. Then hundred thousands of jobs are endangered in the industry. This meets not the public service or parliamentarian, but skilled worker and employee - “those will have to pay in the end”. Gabriel urgently warned of the consequences for future generations. “If we that make, our children us wrong here will curse.”

The Green and links accused Gabriel to break its promises. Still in September the vice-chancellor in the parliament aroused the impression, will reject he the Ceta agreement in Brussels, if the protective clauses for enterprises in it-remain. The chairman of the Jusos, Johanna Uekermann, said Spiegel online: “Whether and how Ceta comes in the end, is a democratic decision. I reject investor state arbitration, and also the SPD in such a way decided. I am curious, like Sigmar Gabriel this position with its expressions will today attune.”

Survey to the Ukraine conflict: Germans are against sharper Russia sanctions

Russlands Präsident Putin: Deutsche lehnen schärfere Sanktionen ab

Berlin - the Germans by the majority sharper sanctions reject defiance of the continuous conflict with Russia against Moscow. In “Germany trend” - survey among 1023 Federal citizens for the ARD “morning magazine” was only one minority of 19 percent to expand the punitive measures. The present sanctions of the USA and the European Union consider 43 percent appropriate. Over a quarter (27 percent) pleads even for their abolition.

In an interview with the ARD of Russia had described president Wladimir Putin the sanctions as danger for the west: “That will sooner or later have effects not only with us, but also with you.” The Russian and the German economy are intertwined with one another too closely, so the head of the Kremlin.

New punitive measures are not apparently first planned: Only on Monday the EU Foreign Ministers had done without new sanctions against Russia and had only decided to occupy further separatists in Ukraine with entry and account barriers.

Climate protection campaign of the Department of the Environment: Light out with the sex

Szene aus dem Werbespot des Umweltministeriums: Jetzt bloß schnell das Licht ausmachen!

Hamburg - Federal Secretary of the Environment Barbara Hendricks belongs so far to that, carefully formulates, inconspicuous figures in the black-red cabinet. She avoids the talk shows and so far also not with innovative parliamentary bills was noticeable. According to a current survey know only 20 percent of the Germans the SPD politician.

That plot of the 30-Sekunden-Spots: The daughter comes home, knipst the light on and gets mummy and dad in clear pose. Thus scolded it the lamp fast. And the moral of Geschicht: “If each German household only five percent less river uses, could scarcely seven Terawattstunden in the year be saved. So much river produces a large coal-fired power station”, explains the Department of the Environment.

As a further climatic killer Hendricks' employees constituted tilted windows: Thus they let a woman, who closes its tilted living room window finally arise in a further video. So she must listen to also not with, as their man in the garden is torn to pieces by zombies. Thus: Impact air is better as if continuoustilt!

In the net of the citizens of Berlin agency Tinkerbelle conceived campaign comes “together is it climate protection” in the best way on. “The resonance is extraordinary, we is very content”, says Michael Schroeren, the spokesman of Secretary of the Environment Hendricks. The sex spots rising to YouTube already more than hundred thousand humans saw - to tendency strongly. There once again someone is not to say, climate protection interests in Germany anybody more!

German mission misses many goals in Afghanistan

Afghanistan-Einsatz: Die Bundeswehr am Hindukusch

Berlin - 13 years after the beginning of the German Afghanistan employment in the year 2001 the Federal Government draws sobering up to result of the mission. In the “trial balance of the Afghanistan commitment”, which is to decide the Federal Cabinet on Wednesday, the particular agent of the Foreign Office (AA) grants that with all goals of the German employment “partly completely substantial and painful gaps remain in relation to the final state which can be aimed at”.

The report, which serves the German Federal Armed Forces in Afghanistan also as preparation of a new Bundestag seat for the future training mission, sounds in many places self-critical. “We made much correct, but some could have been still better”, is called it in the conclusions. Above all the co-ordination between the different departments within the Federal Government, in addition, internationally, was incomplete at the beginning. This improved, one must draw however teachings from the errors.

Now the German Federal Armed Forces prepare for a basic change of its commitment in Afghanistan. At the end of the year the past combat mission under the roof of the NATO security forces Isaf is to end. Starting from 2015 then only maximally 850 German soldiers are to be inserted into Afghanistan. These should however only train the local security forces and be active in the Ministries as advisors. Military force is to be only used to self protection.

With the trial balance the government submits also a 36-page statement over the current situation in Afghanistan. Therein the security situation is called further “tensely”. The rigged Afghan security forces are meanwhile able to protect the large cities and the areas along the important traffic axles. However the Taliban and other groups to today a “substantial threat” are local security forces and the Afghan government for Afghans.

Outside of the halfway safe areas however the situation looks darkly. Therefore the Taliban, prevails to the “predominantly Pashto coined areas in the east and the south of the country” a “predominantly not controllable security situation” in the retreat places. Translated from the official language the government thereby confesses, what current reports from Afghanistan suggest to each day: In the tribal areas the Taliban until today can do, what it to want.

Moritz, 16, buys a magazine

Moritz Deutschländer: "Ein großer Zeitschriftenleser werde ich wohl nie mehr"

On the Internet Moritz Deutschländer found so far everything, according to which he searched. Then, with 16 years, he buys his first magazine. Quite impressing, he finds. But then it gives nevertheless the Schmöker to its parents.

Berlin Amsterdam, six and a half hours of trip. Since I had neither a laptop (too heavy), still another mobile phone (in the repair) thereby, I went before into the station kiosk. I was not ever an eager reader. Internet, Dokus on YouTube, sometimes also on TV, hand me completely.

My mother never understood, why printing does not interest me. At the most times the “kicker” of my father. It brought multicolored booklets again and again with: “Petterson and Findus”, “Geolino”, YOUR MIRROR, “Yuno”, “neon”, even with the “Bravo” tried it. I have through it leafed, also times read, convinced it me never. Perhaps it was because of it that my parents read continuously something, for me is that an adult thing. In my circle of friends anyhow never one said: “Crass magazine discovered, willste times have?”

On the one hand I know naturally that I remain impossible from many things without money. On the other hand I do not want to simply only function and join. This system is not fair: Banks make a bad speculation, solve an international financial crisis out and can continue like before. Companies pillage unpunished the environment. Why does one find pros and cons to all that usually only on the Internet and not in the classical media, television, radio, print? Is there one beside the open rule of the money also secret of the opinions? Was I learned more in a magazine?

“Capitalism” starts before approximately 700 years. When the course holds, we in Stendal and I still are with my reading with the beginnings in Florence. The Peruzzi possessed at that time the largest financial institution and borrowed in the end also the king money. Later asked I mean parents whether they know the Peruzzi. Shrug of the shoulders. I lay in front. My father did not give himself nevertheless so fast struck and explained, he knew naturally that the first banks in Italy developed. Therefore there would be yes also the terms account, discount payment, Giro, agio. So a simple link! Why didn't those occur to “GEO” - journalists?

Now is really expensive taxi

Taxistand in Düsseldorf: Erhöhungen in der Spitze um bis zu 25 Prozent

Berlin - taxi customers must pay more in the future clearly. Because starting from 1 January 2015 also for those cab driver in Germany the minimum wage of 8.50 euros per hour is valid for approximately 200,000 employees, the trade wants to increase the prices. Because cab drivers are paid so far not after hourly wages, but with a participation in turnover from approximately 40 to 45 percent. At present the average wage between 6 euros and 6.50 euros per hour amount to.

Some cities - for example Hamburg - already agreed increases. Thus that already decided Hamburg senate to October a rise of the tariffs around on the average 1.40 euros or approximately 7.9 percent. The basic charges rose from 2,90 to 3.20 euros. With a distance up to four the kilometer price increased kilometers by 15 cent to 2.35 euros, between the fourth and ninth kilometer becomes 2.10 instead of 1.90 euros due.

In Stuttgart the taxi prices are to be increased to the beginning of the year on average by 15 to 20 percent. On the request of the Stuttgart taxi center is to be decided still in November. The taxi federation of Baden-Wuerttemberg had demanded a price increase by 20 percent.

In Hanover the taxi tariff is to be likewise raised around scarcely 20 percent, as a city spokesman communicated. It did not give a resolution so far however yet. An increase of 25 percent was requested by the taxi trade. “The reason lies alone in the introduction of the minimum wage”, said the spokesman.

Preach course, fly Businesses

Kondensstreifen eines Flugzeuges: Die Flugfreude erklärt sich durch die gesellschaftliche Stellung von Grünen-Wählern.

Berlin - flies and environmental protection get along badly. According to the Federal Office for Environment Protection it gives to move itself no climaticmore harmful kind than the airplane. From voters of an ecology party like the Greens one could expect therefore that they used air traffic particularly economically.

Client of the survey is the Federal association of the German air traffic economy (BDL), which naturally no interest in a restriction of air traffic for environmental reasons has. Was accomplished the study of the renowned research group elections, which provides also the choice elections for the Second Channel of German Television.

The green flight joy at least partly explains itself by the social position of Green voters. Those are comparatively young, well trained and good earning. “All characteristics, which might positively be connected with a use of the airplane”, say Martin Kroh, who investigated the profile of Green voters at German Institut for economic research. Finally highly-qualified good goods go also more frequently on business trips, which constitute approximately 60 percent of German domestic traffic according to numbers of the airport federation ADP.

Also many business trips can certainly be settled by course - if the environment is really important. Besides the results put close that the well situated Greens with their aviation politics preach above all renouncement for others. Only scarcely half of the asked Green voters finds it good that today many humans can afford air passage. There was against it nearly three quarters of the asked ones on the average. It fits that the Greens demand for a long time to make flights for ecological reasons more expensive.

The BDL fit such results into the concept. In before four years the created lobby federation airlines and airports fight against their alleged disadvantage in the comparison to the foreign competition. The BDL argues also with the meaning of the industry for the national economy. Those is hardly denied however also by the Greens: The statement, an efficient air traffic net are important “for jobs and economy” signed 85 percent of their voters - just as many as in the total population.

Hunt for innocent ones

Bundepolizist in Berlin (Archivfoto): Schwere Vorwürfe gegen Kollegen von der Inspektion Ostbahnhof

The state criminal police agency Berlin determines against three federal policemen because of the suspicion on pursuit of innocent and several other crimes. After information , are to have written the officials of the police inspection Ostbahnhof arbitrarily a variety of charges, in order to be faster carried.

This goal agreement had spent the boss of the management Berlin, Thomas Striethörster, still in April 2013 and in the year 2014 had continued. Thus it offended against an instruction of the authority point in Potsdam. Federal Police president Dieter Romann had already forbidden 2013 in January making targets for the number of search successes.

The state criminal police agency wants to hand the investigations over shortly to the public prosecutor's office. Few days ago Jörg Radek, Vizechef of the Federal Police, had warned of it, runs one because of a savings dictation and too little staff danger not to be able to fulfill the legal tasks any longer. Radek attacked also Ministers of the Interior Thomas de Maizière (CDU).

 This gave up after to demand more staff in the household negotiations simply. That with the Federal Police much lies in the bad one, the journalist had already reported to at the beginning of Septembers. Therefore the authority is already for August “actually insolvent”.

Others of the 18 categories are “prostitution”, “vagrant”, “rocker”, “escapee” as well as “sexual perpetrator”. In addition the references become “infection danger”, and “explosive danger” “arms” mentioned. In order to fall as citizens into this categorization, one does not have to be previously convicted. The references are also stored, if a preliminary investigation were stopped. However a justified first suspicion is sufficient for the classification as drug consumer or a prostitute. For tactical reasons the concerning are not informed about it, under which references they are led in the file. Thousands left ones, but only ten right offenders also political characteristics are stored in the police databases. The Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations leads 3,490 citizens as a “offender – left-motivates”, however only ten as a “offender – right”. They are valid according to Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations database as offenders, even if they were of such a criminal offence only accused or accused. The citizen of Berlin Senator of the Interiors Frank Henkel (CDU) referred the category “perpetrator” in August after, serves alone for the distinction of the term of “concerning”. The storage of the additional information over people is necessary for the “protection of this person or for the self-protection of officials”, communicated the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Shop without packaging wastes: I pack' that

Each table a Grabbeltisch: A supermarket in Berlin offers not packed goods. In former times that was normally, now conquers the founders the hearts of the customers. But the way to the mass movement is still far.
Waren ohne Verpackungen: Nobel wie bei Manufactum

Berlin - the red-headed lady works a few seconds helpless, where she is to accommodate the ordered rolls best. Then she delays her carrying bag to the salesperson. The man behind that bar weighs still a few apples, all food out hikes into the bag. The employee takes the money and says good-bye with a smile of the customer.

Which works like an everyday life scene in the grocer's shop, everything else are as usual in the descriptive case. Because it takes place in a supermarket, which is valid since past Saturday as attraction in the eco-moved citizen of Berlin scene quarter Kreuzberg. Its name, “original not packed”, points already to the nuclear idea, which her foundresses Sara Wolf and Milena Glimbovski used up themselves: They want to sell bio food and get along without packagings. Completely equal whether nuts, pepper grains or gummi bear, noodles, olive oil or coffee powder - for the protection on the way home the customers themselves must provide. Spontaneous buyers find suitable plastic or metal boxes on the shelf. Also bottles for the transport of liquids are in the offer.

Fire in citizen of Berlin mosque: Public prosecutor's office determines against suspects

Mevlana-Moschee: Ob der Anschlag politisch motiviert war, ist noch unklar

The fire had destroyed a cultivation of the Mevlana mosque in Berlin and had damaged the front: Now the public prosecutor's office introduced investigations against a suspect of the presumed arson attack on the place of worship.

Berlin - in the case of the presumed arson attack on a mosque in Berlin Kreuzberg the public prosecutor's office introduced investigations against a suspect. As a spokesman of the accusation authority on request of Spiegel online explained, concern it with the accused one of a man originating from Jordan, who was already noticeable because of other arson reproaches and in custody sits at present. Against it now also the first suspicion resulted at the night to 12 August fire in the citizens of Berlin Mevlana mosque to have put.

LENIN MONUMENT : One stands still

Since “Good Bye, Lenin!” we know: The lenin Statuen disappeared from our cities. From all cities? No, in Schwerin there is the Soviet leader monument further. And it raves a fight for it
Die Lenin-Statue in Schwerin

Everywhere is the Lenin away. In Berlin they buried it in the Köpenicker forest. In Potsdam it was torn by the base. Dresden gave away it to a Dutch collecting tank. In hall Neustadt one put, where he stood once, a shopping centre. The GDR was scattered with monuments, which at Lenin, whom founders of the Soviet Union should remind. With the SED state also the memorials disappeared. But not all.
In Schwerin the Lenin looks to Hamburg avenue, it still over those stands there since 1985 in a slab construction quarter on behalf of large Dreesch. Heavyin Lenin is impressive. 3,50-meter-high, with legs wide spread, the hands in the coat bags. Trappings look it as in the scenes of Good Bye, Lenin! That was 2003 that film over fall of the wall and motherly love, in which the stone Soviet leader is away-flown in the end by the helicopter. But heavyin Lenin was not removed. It stands. In the meantime violent controversy is inflamed around the question whether it may to stand still. It concerns thereby historical politics. Around symbol politics. And also therefore whether a city in 25. Year of the unit somewhat sovereignly with their GDR inheritance to deal cannot. Whether one can leave the Lenin not simple now, since he already survived a quarter century capitalism, where he is.

“Why should we deal defensively with our cultural inheritance? ”, Angelika Gramkow asks. The left one is heavyin mayor. Their party membership is however in this question not substantial. “Lenin outlived also the mayors of SPD and CDU.” Why did the Lenin remain in its city, until today? A little bullishness probably played a role. Those is just particularly pronounced in Mecklenburg. Gramkow, 55, is the most prominent defense of the Lenin Statue. It entered 1978 the SED, was active in the FDJ Kreisleitung, studied economic science in Leipzig and worked as a teacher in Schwerin. She says: “I had at that time already argued with Stalinism. I knew from reprisals and Gulag.” She says however nevertheless: “I did not question the system in the GDR.” Lenin belongs for it to GDR history. “It was not responsible for the Second World War and the division of Germany.” It cannot be that all GDR street names became changed, all monuments dragged. “The discussion repeats itself since the 90s. There I make not with”, say Gramkow. “Lenin is to be borne.” Is it that? Opponents throw the Statue in the meantime regularly with color bags, sympathizers paint “Lenin remain!” in large type characters on the lying in front of it sidewalk. To one day the communist leader is sullied, cleaned on the next day. Before a few years would have it nearly folded with the plan to dispose of Lenin. An town councillor resolution should bring the turn. In the end two voices were missing. “, The initiator at that time Christoph Priesemann, city delegate of the FDP remembers two of the CDU”. Praising man father had been arrested 1950 on the road, shot later to Moscow kidnapped and. Because town councillor Priesemann was in the GDR a teacher, those would have sworn linking in the town councillor: So badly it was not issued nevertheless it in the SED state! One regarded, says it as a traitor praising man. But it remains thereby: Away with Lenin! It receives support from Klaus Schroeder, Politikwissenschaftler to the FU Berlin. “Lenin was a mass murderer”, says Schroeder. “There is zero reasons for a Statue.” What thus do with the monument, Mr. Schroeder? “With the pneumatic hammer near.” The memorial actually is meanwhile more frequently to the collar. On 17 June, which became anniversary of the rising of the people of 1953, Lenin head with a cloth euphemistically. “A provocation” should be, says Alexander Bauersfeld. Farmer field sat at GDR times one and a half years in detention, because it had carried church peace work out. Its Lenin veiling wanted to forbid the city to it, it had to forwards the bundesland administration court to pull. The city had rejected approval before. A reason: Participants could fall when climbing up the leaders. Farmer field won. Brought the action so far nothing. The Lenin stands.
