Nine days until<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christmas Eve and you haven't got all your presents together yet? Then it's about time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we are thinking about presents, Australia is in shock. There, on Bondi Beach in Sydney, the assassination attempt was carried out by a father and his son. Initially there was talk of another perpetrator, but it is now thought to have been just these two. There are said to be 16 fatalities, including a 10-year-old girl and a Holocaust survivor who had emigrated to Australia. Australia will now have to come to terms with the attack, with questions about the security precautions and what needs to be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what about us: Ukrainian President Zelensky met with US representatives Witkoff and Kushner in Berlin to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine. The talks are said to have lasted five hours and great progress was made. Let's see if Putin sees it the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After FC Schalke 04 were crowned autumn champions of the 2nd Bundesliga on Sunday with a 1:0 win against 1. FC N\u00fcrnberg, many are once again dreaming of promotion to the 1st division. We remain curious and will keep an eye on what happens next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We wish you a pleasant working week in the sunshine on the Lower Rhine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
