Berlin (dpa) - Die CDU hat ihre Bereitschaft unterstrichen, mit der SPD ohne Vorbedingungen ernsthafte Gespräche über die Bildung einer stabilen Regierung aufzunehmen.

Die Länder dürften mittlerweile ziemlich sauer auf den Bund sein, weil sie noch immer keinen Kostenersatz für die Abschaffung des Pflegeregresses bekommen haben. "Da brodelt es gewaltig", sagte Oberösterreichs Landeshauptmann Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) bei einem Hintergrundgespräch in Wien. Er verstehe nicht, warum diese Frage noch immer nicht gelöst sei.

The concept and appeal are simple: Spend a day outdoors in the wilderness exercising and enjoying magnificent surroundings, then bed down and do it again.

LONDON (AP) — European Council leader Donald Tusk is due to meet Ireland's prime minister in Dublin Friday, with the status of the Irish border threatening to derail divorce negotiations between the EU and Britain. Tusk and Leo Varadkar are holding talks with just two weeks to go until EU leaders will decide whether Brexit negotiations will advance or stall indefinitely. After Britain leaves the bloc in 2019, the currently invisible 310-mile (500-kilometer) frontier will be the U.K.'s only land border with an EU country. Читать дальше...

This is Jack Eichel's first goal this season:

At the time, many commented on how we didn't see that from Jack much. Really, since his first NHL game, we have been used to seeing Eichel score his goals more like this:

Now flash forward back to this season. Almost all of Eichel's goals look like the first video I posted. Really, they are nearly all very similar. What one might term "garbage" goals. Even though they are anything but.

Why is this the case though? Читать дальше...

President Klaus Iohannis watched the military parade at Bucharest's Triumphal Arch, joined by the prime minister.

Tottenham travel to Watford in the Premier League on Saturday in need of a win after a disappointing run of results. Mauricio Pochettino has a number of decisions to make regarding his team selection. Thankfully, Harry Winks is back in contention to start after missing the defeat at Leicester through illness. I think Winks and Son Heung-Min will replace Mousa Dembele and Moussa Sissoko, with Spurs reverting to the 3-5-2 formation that worked so well against Borussia Dortmund last month. That means...

In Japan, most marriages are Shinto ceremonies; most funerals are Buddhist. Those two religions co-exist because the Japanese people don't take religion very seriously. Although almost all consider themselves Shintoist, Buddhist, or both, neither religion is a part of everyday life, nor is religion something politicians use for their own purposes.
