Scholz im Bundestag, politische Blockaden und spannende Gäste im Berlin Playbook

Heute wird Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz eine Stunde lang den Abgeordneten im Bundestag Rede und Antwort stehen. Doch dies könnte das letzte Mal sein, dass Scholz in dieser Funktion vor der Neuwahl im Februar im Parlament auftritt. Trotz einer prall gefüllten Tagesordnung scheint die politische Arbeit weitgehend zum Stillstand gekommen zu sein. Chefkorrespondent Rasmus Buchsteiner und Gordon Repinski analysieren, warum der Bundestag bis zu den Wahlen kaum noch handlungsfähig ist.

Herbert Reul zu Asylpolitik und Zivilschutz im Interview
Im “200-Sekunden-Interview” kommt NRW-Innenminister Herbert Reul (CDU) zu Wort. Mit klaren Ansagen äußert er Kritik an der schleppenden Umsetzung der angekündigten Asylwende und fordert ein stärkeres Engagement des Bundes beim Zivilschutz, der aus seiner Sicht dringend verbessert werden muss.

US-Politik im Fokus: Hunter Biden, das FBI und Trump
Senior Political Columnist Jonathan Martin beleuchtet brisante Themen aus den USA: die mögliche Begnadigung von Hunter Biden durch Noch-Präsident Joe Biden, Besorgnis über einen potenziellen Umbau des FBI unter Donald Trump und den Umstand, dass Richard Grenell, ehemaliger US-Botschafter in Deutschland, bei Trumps Personalentscheidungen offenbar keine zentrale Rolle mehr spielt.

EU-Thema: Herabstufung des Wolfsschutzes
Die EU hat den Schutzstatus des Wolfs herabgestuft. Für Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen könnte dies, so wird spekuliert, insgeheim eine persönliche Genugtuung bedeuten. Mehr zu den politischen und ökologischen Konsequenzen findet ihr in der Berichterstattung von POLITICO hier.

Europe’s Deteriorating Civil Shelters Expose EU’s Limited Role in Civil Protection

The recent drone strike near the British RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus has exposed a significant issue facing many European nations: the deterioration of civil shelter networks. Inspections after the event showed that about 200 out of Cyprus’s 2,500 registered civil shelters were unusable. This situation has rekindled discussions on civil protection and pointed to the European Union’s l

Zelenskyy Criticizes US for ‘Illogical’ Easing of Russia Sanctions

“Russia will receive funds for its military efforts, and many drones are produced on Russian territory to destabilize the Middle East,” he stated.
The U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and Tehran’s counterattacks against U.S. allies in the Gulf have disrupted transit in the Strait of Hormuz, raising energy prices. To reduce prices, Washington has temporarily permitted the sale of Russ

Migration: Europe’s Shift from Management Illusions to Pushback Policies

For over a decade, Europe’s migration policy has swung between preserving humanitarian traditions like the right to asylum and responding to political pressures from rising migration. The European Pact on Migration and Asylum, adopted in 2024 and set for full implementation by 2026, marks a pivotal change, suggesting the EU recognizes the limitations of its post-2015 migration strategy.
