The life of the Yemenis hangs by a thread, said Guterres.
The Federal Association of Russian-speaking Parents (BVRE) claims that it receives public funds from various sources for Russian-language offers and is even planning a dialogue platform for political issues in Turkish, Arabic and Farsi based on a tried and tested model. The BVRE also gains trust through public campaigns against hatred.
The trick with the kids
However, one of the board members also revealed in an interview that the name of the association was a trick. There are reservations about “Russian-speaking associations”, he said.
It’s easier with children, and they also make offers for children and that’s why they called themselves the parents’ association. “Russkij Mir” reported that the compatriots council had supported the establishment – the association declares that there has been no exchange for years and that the work is based exclusively on the German constitution. Many member associations are also members of the compatriot organization.
But there is also the other side: “Most Russian speakers do not want anything to do with Russia,” says Strohmaier. “Many Germans from Russia came because they weren’t happy in Russia.”
Wilfried Jilge nevertheless expresses concerns. In the last few years German politics paid too little attention to the concerns of the 3.2 million Russian Germans. That left a gap. It is unclear how many Russian speakers in Germany are receptive to nationalist messages from Russia. “We know too little about it.”
“Kontraste” reported in its program on Thursday, among other things, about Russian influence in Germany and about Russian money laundering.

Sanaa (dpa) – Heavy rains and floods have led to life-threatening floods in Yemen, a country of civil war, with more than 130 dead. At least 120 others were taken to hospital with injuries, said the Ministry of Health, which is controlled by the Houthi rebels.
In addition, the water masses completely or partially destroyed more than 200 houses and other buildings. Only in mid-April there were several deaths in the floods in Yemen. Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world. 80 percent of the roughly 28 million inhabitants are dependent on humanitarian aid. In addition, the population suffers from years of civil war. Food and water are scarce and medical care is very poor.
Riyadh / New York (dpa) – Shortly before the impending end of some of the most important UN aid programs in Yemen, donor states have pledged new donations for the civil war country.

On Tuesday, 30 states announced aid amounting to 1.35 billion dollars (1.21 billion euros) – that’s a good half of the amount needed by the end of the year. “We cannot be satisfied with what we have achieved today. We have to move on,” said UN Emergency Aid Coordinator Mark Lowcock at the end of the conference.
30 of the 41 most important aid programs in the impoverished Arab country threatened to end in a few weeks due to lack of money. “We have never had so little money for relief operations in Yemen at this point in the year,” said UN Secretary General António Guterres at the start of the video conference. The aid funds are also to be used for measures to contain the coronavirus in Yemen.
The civil war, which has been going on for more than five years, has plunged the country on the Arabian Peninsula into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Four out of five people need some form of humanitarian aid. This year alone, 110,000 people have developed cholera, plus malaria and dengue fever. With the spread of the coronavirus, the situation has worsened. The life of the Yemenis hangs by a thread, said Guterres.
The donor conference was hosted by the United Nations with Saudi Arabia, which has been bombing targets in Yemen with allies for five years. Saudi Arabia wants to push back the Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran and who overran Yemen in 2014. More than 112,000 people have been killed since the start of the bombing, including 12,600 civilians in targeted attacks.
The largest donor country is Saudi Arabia with aid amounting to $ 500 million, followed by the USA ($ 225 million) and Great Britain ($ 197 million). Germany wants to provide aid of 125 million euros this year, as the Minister of State in the Foreign Office, Niels Annen, announced. The money is to be used for food as well as health and water supplies.
A similar donor conference in Geneva last year raised $ 2.6 billion. Also because the countries are wrestling with the effects of the coronavirus, the willingness to donate was lower this year. According to the UN, only 15 percent of the funds required for 2020 were collected prior to the donor conference.
According to official information, around 350 people have been infected with the corona virus in Yemen so far, and around 80 people have died from it. However, the numbers are not very meaningful because there is hardly any testing and the rebels in the north do not publish any corona numbers at all. However, there are indications that the corona death rate in Yemen is among the highest in the world, Guterres said.
Because at least 30 residents have been infected with the corona virus, the Vial refugee camp in Greece is under quarantine. 3,200 people are not allowed to leave the camp for the time being.
After at least 30 people were infected with the corona virus, the migrant camp of Vial on the island of Chios in Greece was quarantined until October 21. The Greek Ministry of Migration announced this on Wednesday.

Extensive health checks are carried out, as announced by the Ministry of Migration in Athens.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a prohibited chemical from the Novichok group. An investigation by the OPCW has now confirmed the previous investigations.
The International Agency for the Control of the Ban on Chemical Weapons has confirmed evidence of a warfare agent in the case of the poisoned Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny. According to the result of an investigation by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a weapon from the Novichok group was found in a blood sample from Navalny.
This confirms the findings of a Bundeswehr laboratory and experts in France and Sweden. The organization in The Hague wanted to publish its results later that day. At the beginning of September, the federal government turned to the OPCW with a letter that was available to t-online. In it, the chemical weapons experts are asked to clarify the Navalny case together with Russia.
Navalny was treated in Charité
Navalny had collapsed on August 20 on a Russian domestic flight and was initially treated in the Siberian Omsk after an emergency landing. On August 22nd, he was flown to Germany for treatment at the Charité in Berlin.

In Hesse it is currently being checked whether clinics have committed criminal offenses when billing services. In this context, a clinic had to pay millions.
The investigations into fraud allegations in the Hessian hospital system have resulted in a million payment and the end of a first trial. According to information from the German Press Agency, this is the Main-Kinzig-Kliniken. The hospital with locations in Gelnhausen and Schlüchtern confirmed on request that it had paid four million euros to the health insurance companies in the course of an invoice correction.
In addition, the long-time managing director of the Main-Kinzig-Kliniken in Gelnhausen and Schlüchtern, Dieter Bartsch, has to pay a premium of 40,000 euros. In return, the investigations were stopped, as the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor Alexander Badle told the German Press Agency. The lawyer is head of the Central Office for Medical Commercial Criminal Law (ZMS) in Frankfurt.
“Nobody has suffered economic damage”
Badle himself did not provide any information about the affected hospital for data protection reasons. Bartsch confirmed the investigation on request, but emphasized: “Nobody suffered economic damage.” It concerns invoice corrections for the years 2011 to 2015. The payment of the million sum to the health insurances had already been arranged before the investigation began. Senior Public Prosecutor Badle said that under these circumstances, the closure of the case was only possible because the hospital had worked intensively in clearing up the allegations.

The people finally want to determine for themselves what happens in Belarus. Changing the political map is not their goal. This has consequences for EU politics, writes SPD foreign policy expert Nils Schmid in the guest article.
The obvious falsifications in the presidential elections in Belarus at the beginning of August have not only provoked a protest movement that is historically unique in its breadth in the country itself. In Europe, too, there is growing hope for political changes in this country, which has been ruled autocratically for over 25 years between the EU and Russia. The images of peaceful demonstrators from all walks of life in all parts of the country touch our hearts, the reports of police violence and torture hurt our souls.
For almost 30 years, President Alexander Lukashenko has been ruling the country with a hard hand, suppressing the political opposition, controlling the media and providing the population with social benefits through a state-controlled economy. The standard of living, which is quite respectable for the former Soviet Union, has so far been financed by a strong relationship with Russia, which not only supplies cheaper energy, but also enables profits from the resale of oil and gas. / P
