But what happened to João Cancelo after his first appearance for FC Bayern went far beyond the usual welcome culture. In addition to admiring comments, Cancelo evoked reminiscences of a great predecessor with whom he bears not the slightest resemblance in FC Bayern's 4-0 win at FSV Mainz 05,...

They are "mobilized and united", described Aurore Bergé, the president of the Renaissance group (ex-LREM).

Status: 12/10/2022 8:27 p.m For months, the left has presented the image of a deeply divided party. With the "Leipzig Declaration" that has now been passed, the party wants to fill in the trenches. And distances himself clearly from the controversial Sahra Wagenknecht. At least since the last federal election, Die Linke has been deep in crisis. At that time, she was just able to save the status of the parliamentary group because three leftists won direct mandates and, thanks...

Even before the tournament, the games involving the Islamic Republic of Iran were considered tense due to the nationwide protest movement by a large part of the...
Never before has a football World Cup been as controversial as in Qatar and rarely has the host made it so easy for his critics. There are not only the allegations of corruption in the allocation of the tournament, the thousands of dead on the stadium construction sites, the difficult human rights situation in the small emirate. Only shortly before the tournament, contrary to the speeches, was the serving of beer around the games forbidden and already in the opening...
Tom Buhrow hadn't expected hugs anyway: The works meeting of Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) on Friday was planned as a purely digital encounter - moderated by the house management by teams. Nobody can get close (or too close). It was the WDR boss's first appointment with his team since his presentation in front of the Hamburg Overseas Club.
