Middle East - Iran shoots down U.S. naval drone in Persian Gulf region: officials
Iran shot down a U.S. naval surveillance drone near the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian and U.S. officials said Thursday, adding to weeks of tensions in the Persian Gulf region amid growing concerns of a possible war.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said that it targeted the drone — a RQ-4 Global Hawk — inside Iranian airspace Thursday over the southern province of Hormozgan, next to the Strait of Hormuz.
A spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet directed questions to the U.S. Central Command, which was not immediately available for comment.
A U.S. official, however, confirmed the incident to the Associated Press and said that the drone was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile over international airspace in the Strait of Hormuz.

Blitz at sea against smugglers Check out the "transshipment" video
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has made it known that the vessel has been seized. The smugglers in custody will be questioned
Human traffickers use new techniques to bring migrants to Italy. Now the smugglers use fishing boats that tow the little boats up to the limit of Italian territorial waters and then transfer migrants to these small boats. Barchini who then head towards Lampedusa. This technique has allowed the landing of about 81 people in the last hours on the Sicilian island. And so after a rapid investigation carried out by the Agrigento prosecutor's office at least nine traffickers ended up in menette. The men of the mobile team in fact also stopped two other people, two Tunisians responsible for the arrival on our territory of another 43 migrants.

Protestant Churches day reaps ridicule for workshop "Painting Vulvas"
Genitals draw on the Kirchentag? Yes, that should be. Because the idea of the workshop does not appeal to everyone, the organizers are trying to make an explanation. It starts with the first book of Moses.
Genitals draw on the Kirchentag? Yes, that should be. Because the idea of the workshop does not appeal to everyone, the organizers are trying to make an explanation. It starts with the first book of Moses.
...
The organizers saw themselves forced to make a justification attempt. The workshop was just "one of more than 2000 events" at the big event, he was "content involved in the 'center gender worlds' and led by a young, budding theologian. It is about "creatively dealing with one's own physicality" and "interacting in an informal atmosphere about the female, external genitalia, the vulva". Thus, the negative effects of centuries of taboo female sexuality should be counteracted. It goes on to say: "This is directly related to the life-affirming message of the Genesis creation story ..."

Sociologist demands equal dress for men and women - "Potato sacks for all"
Sociologist Barbara Kuchler has called on the fashion industry to harmonize the clothing of women and men. It needs either "potato sacks for all" or tight, body-conscious clothes for all genders.
...
Kuchler: Abundance is "partly in the woman"
At the same time Kuchler criticized women who "very readily" participate in a social system in which more attention is paid to the appearance of women. When women put on make-up, plucked eyebrows, and wore tight clothes, they would not have to wonder, "when they're looked at and there's a grab," the scientist said. That men perceive a miniskirt in a certain way, they can not be blamed.
Of course, men would have to "get their hands on things," said Kuchler. But it would be "sociological eyecleaning" when a woman demands to be judged on her performance only when she gets dressed up in the office. The responsibility of overriding lies "partly with the individual woman," she said.

Interception technology for autocrats - Germany exports anyway
Countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are accused of human rights violations. A letter from the Federal Government shows to what extent Germany nevertheless approves exports of surveillance technology.
...
The letter indicates, for example, that in each of the years 2015, 2016 and 2018 a license has been granted for export to Qatar, with a total contract volume of more than one million euros. According to the Federal Government, these are follow-up orders from previous exports. Qatar is criticized especially for dealing with migrant workers in the country, and the right to freedom of expression there is limited.
Egypt also acquired technology worth almost two million euros in 2015 and 2019 to set up monitoring centers and retain data. Again and again, since the overthrow of the democratically elected government in 2013, there have been reports of massive human rights abuses in Egypt: opposition and critical journalists reportedly been abducted and tortured.
...
Already in 2014, the then SPD Federal Minister of Economics Sigmar Gabriel had announced that they wanted to ban the export of surveillance programs in states that are criticized for their disregard of human rights. The Federal Government writes in its reply that it "carefully examines each individual case and pursues a responsible licensing policy in which the respect of human rights in the country of destination is of particular importance".
Such technologies can also be used against reporters. Christian Mihr, Managing Director of Reporters Without Borders, told NDR: "Countries like Egypt, Qatar, Brunei and Algeria have been beating journalists for years, and I can not see how the federal government managed to do so despite export controls not be used for repression.

Suspect in the case Lübcke - Stephan E. until recently in contact with neo-Nazis
Stephan E. should not have been active in recent years as a right-wing extremist. However, Monitor's photos show him with "Combat 18" members at a far-right event - in March 2019.

However, according to the new findings, Stephan E. took part in a conspiratorial right-wing event in Mücka, Saxony, on March 23, where he joined forces with members of the neo-Nazi organization "Combat 18" (German: "Kampfrouppe Adolf Hitler" - the numbers 1 and 8 stand for the first and eighth letters of the alphabet, A and H) and the neo-nazi association "Brigade 8" was photographed.

Case Walter Lübcke - suspect Stephan E. was probably not at "Combat 18" meeting in Mücka
According to a media report, Stephan E. is said to have been spotted during a spring meeting of a neo-Nazi group. Investigators check possible connections. But after SPIEGEL TV research is probably a mistake.
...
If that were true, it would be a blatant failure of the security authorities: Stephan E. had not noticed her for ten years. The last time he appeared in their files apparently in 2009, when 400 neo-Nazis attacked a union rally in Dortmund.
But according to research by SPIEGEL TV, it was probably a matter of confusion. Meanwhile, the security authorities assume that the man on the photo presented by "Monitor" may be Karsten H. The 33-year-old belongs to the environment of the neo-Nazi music band "Oidoxie".
From Saxon security circles it is said that the state protection and the constitution protection assumed that the photo show Karsten H., not Stephan E. Officially no one wanted to speak of the investigators.

Mosque Associations in Germany - Dangerous Solidarity with Muslim Brothers?
After the death of Mursi, German mosque associations solidarize according to contrasts research with the Islamist Muslim Brothers. Observers warn against a "dangerous shoulder joint".
On the occasion of the death of former Egyptian President and Muslim Brother Mohammed Morsi, major mosque associations express their solidarity with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood. As reported by ARD-Magazin Kontraste, prayers for Mursi will be held this Friday in all of the more than 300 German mosques of the "Islamic Community Milli Görüs" (IGMG).
The chairman of the German Muslim Society (DMG), Khalled Swaid, said that the loss of Mursi was "symbolic of the crisis that the Egyptian people must live under the autocratic military regime". The DMG, until recently called the "Islamic Community in Germany" IGD, is regarded by Germany's constitutional protection authorities as the most important organization of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhoods in Germany. She is also a member of the Central Council of Muslims (ZMD).
The president of the ZMD, Ayman Mazyek, wrote about Morsi's death: "We belong to Allah and we will return to him, the first freely elected president of Egypt dies in prison." Also, the head of the Turkish religious authority Diyanet, Ali Erbas, announced a nationwide commemoration in Turkey. To Diyanet also includes more than 900 mosques of the Mosque Association Ditib in Germany. At the request of Kontraste, as Ditib behaved, the association did not respond.

Key points for price cap - Berlin becomes a laboratory for tenant protection
The red-red-green government in Berlin has decided on the first rental price cap in German history. What it is about - the eight most important points.
...
The rental cover is to apply to the approximately 1.5 million non-price rented apartments - apartments with rental price maintenance are not affected.
For all existing leases, a legally stipulated rent stop will apply in the future. Rental ceilings are set to which very high rents can be lowered on request.
In the case of new lettings of apartments, at most the last agreed rent from the previous lease may be contractually agreed, provided that this does not exceed the respectively fixed rent limit.
The law will be effective retroactively from 18 June.
New residential construction is excluded.
For modernization allocations special licensing and notification obligations are introduced for landlords. Modernization allocations, which increase the gross heating rent by more than 50 cents per square meter per month, require a permit.
Economic hardship cases of the landlord are to be approved on request, if an economic underfunding is proven. In individual cases, rent increases and higher rental agreements can be approved. The difference takes over the city.
Violations of the requirements of the Berlin Rent Law should be punishable as an administrative offense and a fine of up to 500,000 euros.

Legislative rent regulation by the federal states due to the legislative competence for the housing industry
Due to the fundamental assignment of the rental price right to civil law, a statutory rental price binding can only be assigned within narrow limits to the housing sector as a field of public law. In order not to fall under the competence title of Art. 74 (1) No. 1 GG, the relevant law would have to focus on a public-law regulatory issue. This would not be the case, for example, with a provision which is only stricter than § 556d BGB, since this would also be attributable to civil law. Since the housing sector includes measures of housing and the use of housing, a statutory rental price in this area would probably have to be included as a subordinate part in a regulatory concept serving these purposes. Only a concept that subjects the living space to a public-purpose purpose, such as in the case of publicly subsidized housing or housing management, may be considered. For rental apartments offered freely on the housing market, on the other hand, the Federal Rental Law is likely to constitute a final legal regulation.

Ministry - Report Social housing stands still
Despite federal funding of billions, social housing remains at a low level. This is the result of a report by the Ministry of Construction. The pressure is increasing especially on poorer tenants in big cities.
...
Thereafter, 27,040 subsidized social housing was built nationwide last year. That's just 809 apartments more than 2017.
...
Total number of public housing decreases
Since state-subsidized apartments fall after some time from the social commitment, the total number of social housing fell despite new buildings on nationwide 1.219 million. In 2006, when the responsibility for social housing went from federal to state, it was around 2.1 million.
The Left therefore demands more money from the federal government. "1.5 billion euros are not enough for a turnaround in social housing," said Lay. However, according to the previous plans, the annual funding of the federal government should fall to 1.0 billion.

Soros Foundation is considering engagement in Germany - because of the AfD
Because of the growing AfD, the foundation is considering George Soros to get involved in Germany. According to the director, these are ways of supporting actors in the East who share their values.
The foundation of US billionaire George Soros is considering getting involved in Germany in the wake of the rise of the AfD. "We are looking at ways to support actors in East Germany who share our values," said Selmin Caliskan, director of the Open Society Foundation, on Thursday in Berlin.
"The first step will be to launch a local initiative to combat hate crimes in eastern Berlin and the surrounding area with local partners," Çaliskan announced. Details would be announced in the coming months. According to Çaliskans, the Foundation supports about 50 civil society organizations in Germany. After massive pressure, the Open Society Foundation closed its office in Budapest and moved to Berlin.
The Soros, who comes from Hungary, uses his money to support efforts to anchor liberal values ??and the quest for open borders in Eastern Europe. He is considered a critic of Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán , who wants to act more vigorously against immigration-friendly non-governmental organizations.
