Sogar Sigrid Maurer, die Präsidentin der Grünen, klang ernsthaft empört: über die Stadt Wien. Offenbar wussten sie schon länger von den Problemen bei Wien Energie, hielten es aber nicht für sinnvoll, rechtzeitig auf die Bundesregierung zuzugehen. Noch ärgerlicher war der Koalitionspartner ÖVP: Die Stadt habe sie zu spät informiert, jetzt will sie das Geld (zumindest als Sicherheit), versucht aber, Schuld abzulenken. Der Fehler liegt bei den verrückten Märkten und damit indirekt bei der Bundesregierung, die sehr wenig dagegen getan hat....

China’s drones have been a constant part of its military activity around Taiwan in recent weeks, demonstrating new capabilities and putting increased pressure on the self-ruled island, which Beijing claims as part of its territory. Drone flights, often by small civilian models, over Taiwan’s remote islands are among China’s most visible pressure tactics, and experts and officials worry that such actions risk turning high tensions into outright conflict.

Nick Begich mysteriously disappeared from a flight and was declared dead. Begich’s grandson, Nick Begich III — whose uncle Mark was a former Democratic senator — ran for the seat this year, albeit as a Republican.
