The article addresses the necessity of strict regulations in the field of artificial intelligence, similar to risk management in nuclear technology, and criticizes Donald Trump's plan to leave oversight of AI developments to the industry itself, which is considered dangerous. #Risikomanagement #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Nukleartechnik (translated)

Microsoft President Brad Smith calls for stricter regulation of artificial intelligence, as it is subject to less oversight than products like milk, and suggests that AI developers should be required to have their technologies assessed for risks. #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Regulierung #Microsoft (translated)

Sabine commented on the incident with a tiger in Yorkshire and criticized demands to kill or euthanize the animal. In her opinion, the tiger did nothing wrong and merely displayed natural predator behavior when a stranger intruded into its territory. Even if the man or boy had been a person with a disability, they apparently managed to overcome a safety measure, she wrote. If the person had been accompanied or supervised, in Sabine's view, the caregivers or companions had neglected their duty of care. #Tierschutz #Naturschutz #Wildtiere (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

The agreement of the EU finance ministers on the "Package for Market Integration and Financial Supervision" represents a significant step towards the capital markets union, but is hindered by Germany's resistance to a central oversight of the German stock exchange under the EU authority ESMA, which jeopardizes the implementation of equal competitive conditions. #Kapitalmarktunion #EU #Finanzmarkt (translated)

It is clear that above certain thresholds, the ESMA is the supervisory authority, which also applies to Germany. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) rejected the claim that there is an "exception" for the German stock exchange. #Kapitalmarktunion #DeutscheBörse #EUFinanzminister (translated)

Lars Winkelsdorf wrote that he had spoken a few months ago at a personal meeting with August Hanning about Hanning's financial situation. Hanning had brought up the topic himself. The current media coverage does not adequately represent the situation from Winkelsdorf's perspective, as it appears as an exposure of the motives behind Hanning's alleged actions. According to him, Hanning explained that he had entered the supervisory board of the Latvian PNB Bank through Anders Rasmussen. An oligarch then plundered the bank, stripping it of about 30 million euros. In a civil proceeding under Latvian law, Hanning was held liable; the judgment was later enforced in Germany, and a significant portion of his pension was garnished. Winkelsdorf described Hanning as an indirectly harmed party of criminal acts and wrote that his attempts to get out of the situation had failed. It was not about losses from risky investments but rather that Hanning had been "taken advantage of," he wrote. Rasmussen has not had to pay anything so far; Winkelsdorf added that Denmark may have better laws than Germany. https://t.co/KJQ6fW9Au0 #Finanzen #Medien #Justiz (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that a photo of Gerhard Schröder in Moscow raises the question of why his trip remains without consequences for him. Schröder flew to Moscow, had himself photographed by the fireplace, and then returned to Germany, without any change to his public status. Laska pointed out that Schröder had returned his honorary citizenship before it could be revoked. An expulsion from the party had failed at the SPD. For an investigative committee, Schröder was too ill, but not for trips to Moscow and new supervisory board positions, she wrote. She also criticized that the Federal President would shake his hand at the next opportunity. In her view, the photo does not show Schröder's problem, but that society does not draw any consequences from it. As long as this remains the case, Vladimir Putin knows that Germany's support for Ukraine means a lot of money, but nothing "that hurts," Laska wrote. #Deutschland #Russland #Ukraine (translated)

Gerhard Schröder has presented himself as a member of the supervisory board of the Russian subsidiary of the supermarket chain Globus in Moscow to counter potential expropriations of Western companies, while the situation for foreign investors in Russia is becoming increasingly tense. #GerhardSchröder #Russland #Supermarkt (translated)

The former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder was welcomed with applause by the staff during his visit to a Hyperglobus supermarket in Moscow and spoke about his experiences in retail after he joined the company's supervisory board in September. #Schröder #Hyperglobus #Russland (translated)

Dr. Gunter Link wrote that the program "Monitor" is not a satire with immunity. He accused it of inciting hatred and trivializing National Socialism and the Holocaust, and criticized that it is funded by compulsory fees. In his opinion, those responsible should be prosecuted and the program should be discontinued. If the supervisory bodies of WDR did not act accordingly, they too should be held accountable for a violation of their official duties, wrote Link. He also called for the abolition of the GEZ. #GEZabschaffen #Volksverhetzung #Nationalsozialismus #WDR (translated)
