How bad’s in the army? A low point in Ursula von der Leyens calendar: the annual presentation of the report of the military officer. Today, it is that time again.

What is Hans-Peter Bartels, is easy to predict. It is the view of the past year: As he complained of “Excessive bureaucracy”, is a dramatically bad material situation and staffing. Even in the clothing of the soldiers conquer deficiency.

this year’s report is likely to be disastrous. And he comes for the Secretary of defense at an inopportune time. Consultant affair, Gorch-Fock-debacle, roadside assistance, fleet – Ursula von der Leyens house is in the duration-criticism. Since you can’t have the bad news, the Bartels widely used today, from 12.30 PM.

Nahles and the Clause 219a

The Clause 219a could still be a real pitfall for SPD Leader Andrea Nahles develop. Your party wants to delete the ban on advertising for abortion actually, without replacement. In the Bundestag, there would be even a majority. But Nahles pulled back on the SPD draft law last March – out of consideration for the Grand coalition.

And in the struggle to find a compromise within the coalition, the Union prevailed then: 219a should be retained, and to add only a few sentences. Already now many in the SPD mad about how Nahles deal with the issue, especially the women. Today, the interministerial coordination of the draft law starts now, at the beginning of February, the Cabinet shall vote on it. If Nahles want to sell this as a success, it should easily backfire.

What is the cost of the coal phase-out?

A simple question, a not so simple answer. The heads of the coal Commission’s block. “I’m not on the total bill, what is the exit strategy from Coal costs,” said Ronald Pofalla, one of the four co-chairs. Fixed not done so.

however, you can Still roughly tell what it is going to cost a lot, expect my colleagues of the “daily mirror Background on energy & climate”. Structure help, support for workers, Cushion the impact of higher electricity prices and the compensation for the operator: up To 90 billion euros could add up, therefore, the Coal phase-out.

Frosty fresh start in the conciliation Committee

for a Long time convened, the conciliation Committee between the Bundestag and the Bundesrat. On Wednesday at 18 o’clock there seems to be a rather frosty start. Country representative and member of the German Bundestag will have to solve the conflict by the digital Pact.

basically, all are agreed that The digital equipment of schools should be better. But still, the countries are blocking an amendment to the basic law, which provides that they are to be involved in future investments by the Federal government, with 50 percent of the cost.

“Stand” before the Fall?

the Lack of transparency, protests in the local chapters, and a site in “indiskutablem state”: Sahra car farmhand left movement is in crisis, she threatens to fail to yourself. This is the internal Protocol in which the problems are listed.

The resentment in the case of “Stand up” was also in a kind of “coup”, a new temporary Board was elected. Instead of four Left-representatives with Sahra wagenknecht and Fabio de Masi, only two belong to the body now. “Get up” also tries to make a fresh start – away from a hierarchy in which all of the above, is determined. But whether the success is in the movement as questionable. An activist told the daily mirror: “If the restart doesn’t work now, is to get Up really dead.”
