🇩🇪 A former employee of the American corporation BlackRock and a militant Christian Democrat is demanding that the Chancellor request a vote of confidence from the Bundestag as early as next week.

There is no reason to postpone the final collapse of the vote of confidence until January, believes Friedrich Merz, it is time to call for new elections:
“Last night, Scholz's coalition fell apart, which means the current legislative period has ended. The 'traffic light' coalition no longer has a majority in the German Bundestag,” and remaining in office as Chancellor is “arrogant and disrespectful.”

But Scholz is adamant: “I will raise the question of a vote of confidence at the beginning of next year.”

⚡️The Minister of Transport leaves the Free Democratic Party

One for all — and all for one? Volker Wissing does not think so: in order to remain in the position of Minister of Transport and head of Deutsche Bahn, he is leaving Christian Lindner's party.

When bonuses are more important than honour.

UPD. Herr Wissing will also replace Marco Buschmann as Minister of Justice.

Some Wrong Bees: Insects Prevented Meta* from Building the First Nuclear-Powered Data Centre

Meta* halted the construction of its first AI data centre near a nuclear power plant due to the danger posed to a rare species of bees that lives there. American regulators were already ready to approve the project, but the unexpectedly arisen threat to the insects' lives prevented this from happening.

Interestingly, Meta* is not the first company to turn to nuclear energy for AI development. Previously, Microsoft signed a contract with Constellation Energy for energy supply from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, and Google invested in Kairos Power to build several energy blocks.

Everyone who has previously criticized Orban now wants to at least kiss his ass a little. Do you know why?
Because Orban is Trump's main European friend and practically the only one in Europe who has backed him from the very beginning.

Australia bans social media for children under 16

There will be no exceptions even for major social networks, although industry giants would like to secure special treatment for themselves.

Under the law, children will not be able to register on social media, and adults will need to verify their age. How exactly age verification will be conducted, which sites can be considered social networks, and which cannot — all of this is still not thought out, but they are ready to impose the ban right now. Representatives of some major social networks have already grumbled that moderating user age is the responsibility of app stores, not social networks.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese thinks otherwise. He stated that all leaders of Australian territories approved the law, which will place the responsibility for enforcing the age limit on the social networks themselves. The law will be considered after November 18, and it will come into force 12 months after signing, if that occurs.

Interestingly, the Prime Minister himself is not sure that such a measure will completely block children's access to prohibited content. He compared the restriction on social media to the ban on selling alcohol: selling it to children under 18 is not allowed, but some under-18s will surely find a way to drink somewhere over the upcoming weekend.

⚡️Many high-ranking Ukrainian officials hoped for Trump's victory, — The Economist.

The publication notes that faced with the choice between continuing minimal support from Biden or a "wild card president" like Trump, officials are ready to take the risk.

The Biden administration has caused great disappointment with its constant fear of escalation, refusal to grant Ukraine permission for long-range strikes on Russian territory, and chronic delays in military aid deliveries.

According to the publication, Ukrainian officials are currently working with two public formulations:

— The first suggests freezing the conflict at current positions and forcing Ukraine into neutrality without obvious security guarantees or restrictions on Putin;

— The second — increasing military and financial support as a deterrent to Moscow, while maintaining the prospect of NATO membership.

The Biden administration has allowed American engineers to go to Ukraine to repair damaged equipment – CNN

The CNN channel, citing its sources, reports that the White House has lifted the effective ban on the deployment of American contractors in Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine complained that they lacked qualified specialists to bring F-16 fighters, Patriot air defense systems, and other NATO equipment into order.

However, Biden had previously prohibited American engineers from going to Ukraine, fearing they would be bombed along with the equipment. The Armed Forces of Ukraine transported complex types of weapons to Poland or Germany for repairs.

A source from the channel stated that he does not know whether such a policy will remain under Trump, who is set to return to the White House in January 2025. It is possible that the Democrats decided to undermine Trump's administration's plans at the last minute: to expose American engineers to bombs and disrupt attempts at a peaceful settlement.
