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.

Le Pen Criticizes Trump Amid Escalating Energy Crisis Due to Iran Conflict

Following her initial support for the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran at the outset of the conflict, Le Pen last week criticized Trump for his “erratic war goals” and the “mistake” of targeting Iran, as stated in her interview with France Inter radio.

The Prisoner of the Period: 14 Years in an Iranian Prison

Some narratives may not initially appear as violent as being shot for protesting, or hanged for asking for freedom, or refusing to sing the anthem at sports events. However, when you are arrested, beaten, and sentenced to 14 years in prison for merely correcting Iran’s supreme leader with a punctuation mark on social media, it exposes the intense ego and moral state of Iran’s theocr

Iran: Fragmented Power Structure and Rising Tensions in State Leadership

Au centre du système iranien, il y a une fracture identifiée depuis longtemps par les observateurs, mais que les autorités s’efforcent de maîtriser : la tension croissante entre les institutions politiques civiles et le puissant Corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique.
Cette tension n’est ni nouvelle ni accidentelle. Elle est ancrée dans la structure même du régime. Cependant,
