Kevin Kuehnert, 32, politician, can’t find a new home in Berlin. “I’ve been looking for an apartment for over a year now. Luckily I don’t have the pressure of having to get out of the current one like others do, but it’s not a joyful job,” said the SPD general secretary in the “Tagesspiegel Checkpoint” podcast. Berliner & Pancake”https://www.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/.”Now, as a member of the Bundestag, you don’t earn very badly, everyone can read how much that is, so by and large it doesn’t fail because of the money. But it fails because of the offer.” Members of the Bundestag currently earn EUR 10,012.89 per month. Kühnert sees the problems on the Berlin housing market in the principle of furnished and partially furnished letting. “Unfortunately, this has become a common way to circumvent the rental price brake, cap limit and other rent regulations.

Kim Cattrall, 65, Canadian-British actress, says disinterested. Cattrall, of ‘Sex and the City’ fame, says she hasn’t watched the reboot of the series without her character. “I heard about it, of course,” she said in an interview with the US trade journal Variety. “And I’ve come to the conclusion that the greatest compliment for me as an actress is to be missed.” For the series “And Just Like That…” Cattrall’s former colleagues Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon reunited in front of the camera. Cattrall has repeatedly ruled out a revival of “Sex and the City” in the past, as well as participation in a planned third film in the series. “Sex and the City” was a wonderful series, “but that was a different time”. The cult series ran in the USA between 1998 and 2004.

Matthew Maurer, 52, astronaut, is on his way back to earth. Maurer was on the International Space Station ISS for almost six months. The Saarlander and three US colleagues undocked from the ISS on Thursday morning on board a “Crew Dragon” capsule, as shown in live images from the US space agency Nasa. On Friday morning German time, the capsule with Maurer and the three NASA astronauts is scheduled to land in the sea off the coast of the US state of Florida. If everything goes according to plan, Maurer will land at Cologne/Bonn Airport late Friday evening. The return flight will probably be exhausting, after six months in weightlessness you can feel every little movement, said astronaut Thomas Reiter of the German Press Agency. “You’re surprised at how heavy your arms and legs suddenly feel.” Maurer was the twelfth German in space. “It’s been an outstanding six months here on the space station,” the ESA astronaut said at a farewell ceremony on board the ISS on Wednesday.
