Three vegan activists from Spain have shocked the public these days with their unusual actions.

They are convinced that the roosters intentionally rape the hens, so they are firmly determined that the animals need to be separated from each other!

Vegan activists from Almas Veganas say we must not differentiate between human and animal species – which is why they believe animals can also be raped.

Activists say they plan to end the abuse and rape of chickens who are constantly running away from the roosters. “Roosters intentionally rape chickens and don’t think it’s an animal instinct,” activists say, and they will do everything in their power to prevent such acts. For the start, they suggest seperating the hens from the roosters.

Legal action launched by prominent German Jewish lawyer Nathan Gelbart and the US-based Lawfare Project caused the head of communications for the giant German Hesse Broadcasting Company to unblock his Twitter account that prevented a Jerusalem Post reporter’s access.”I consider it as highly problematic if a state owned broadcasting station, funded by the taxpayer, is blocking journalists because of unpleasant reporting or inquiries. This behavior is unacceptable and constitutes a severe violation of the freedom of press and information. I am happy that HR[Hesse Broadcasting] answered our complaint and unblocked my client without court procedures,”Gelbart told the Post.

Christoph Hammerschmidt, who oversees the communications department for the Frankfurt-based broadcaster blocked the Post’s European affairs correspondent Benjamin Weinthal in January in connection with his questions about the news outlet allegedly blaming Israeli Jews for antisemitism and its ostensible stoking of Jew-hatred in the federal republic.Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director of the US-based The Lawfare Project, told the Post that “It was bad enough when a reporter at a state-owned news outlet blamed Jews for antisemitism. It was even worse when the official spokesman for that same news outlet blocked a Jewish reporter for asking questions about it. We’re glad The Lawfare Project could be of assistance in overturning this absurd ban.”The Post article reported that Hesse Broadcasting journalist Sabine Müller wrote on the website of the German public broadcaster Tagesschau (ARD) that the memorial event at Yad Vashem was “a missed chance in the fight against antisemitism,” leading to the view among experts on contemporary antisemitism that Müller argued that Israeli Jews were not combating Jew-hatred.Müller wrote that it was unworthy “how Israel and Russia partially kidnapped this commemoration day” with respect to the 75th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. She accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “egoism,” suggesting the Jewish state exploited the Holocaust.Weinthal had turned to Christoph Hammerschmidt’s Twitter account to ask him questions about alleged antisemitism at the broadcaster after he stopped answering Post email media queries on January 30.

Isabelle Fried, a Hesse Broadcasting representative, said in an email that “Mr. Hammerschmidt met the original request to remove the block at the beginning of the week. Mr. Hammerschmidt is fundamentally willing to make a corresponding cease and desist declaration for the future.”Fried and a second Hesse representative, Steffen Janich, wrote in a letter to Gelbart that Hammerschmidt’s account is a private Twitter feed.However, Hammerschmidt’s Twitter biography identifies him as the “Director of Communication for the Hessischer Rundfunk and Managing Director hr-media.”He joined Twitter in 2010 and as of Friday has 223 followers and follows 124 accounts.  The Hesse letter complained about an “offensive” on Hammerschmidt’s Twitter account from Weinthal. It is unclear what this means.

She wears a long white blouse and a dark hooded jacket, her long black hair is open. But she hides her face behind a folder.

Trial start at the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court: Carla-Josephine S. (32 years old) is said to have gone with her three children (at that time 3, 6 and 7) to the ISIS territory in Syria. Her little son died in 2018 in a missile attack. This is not the only reason why the woman is on trial.

The German woman (32 years old) from Oberhausen has had to answer as a suspected ISIS terrorist since Friday. According to the indictment, she allegedly made her children (whose custody she did not have alone) subject to the threat of war.

She is even said to have handed her son Hazam over to a camp for child soldiers.

At the beginning of the trial S. spoke about her life. She was the child of a divorced couple and had left school after 12th grade. Her first husband was Tunisian. With him she had three children. She believed in Islam, wore the burka and wanted to emigrate to Tunisia. She had designed books like “Our beautiful Islamic holidays”.

But her husband had beaten her. “I just wanted to escape,” says Carla-Josephine in court. She then collected all the money she had from the employment office, sold her car and flew to Turkey with her children. Final destination: the war zone of Syria.

This is exactly what she is accused of, among other things: She put her children in mortal danger and gave them ideological training. When her little son expressed doubts about Salafism, she reported him to the religious police and had him chastised! S. is said to have worked in Syria as a driver for a female combat unit and to have been in possession of a hand grenade. With her children she is said to have attended public executions. S. defends herself: “It was coincidence. We had just come from the dentist.”

The judge goes, “Did you want your 6-year-old son to walk around with a Kalashanikov?” She said, “I couldn’t stop it.” When the boy had to go to camp, she advised him to bed-wetting at night so that he would be sent home again. And that’s how it happened. But supposedly the boy wanted to go back to camp on his own.

The woman is now facing up to 15 years in prison. She has already been in custody for eleven months. The Higher Regional Court has scheduled eleven trial days until the end of April.

Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) has warned the European Union against admitting migrants at the Turkish-Greek border. Other European leaders have sounded a similar warning.

“If these people, some of whom are also prepared to use violence, ultimately get through to Central Europe, [the number] will not remain at 13 000. Then there will soon be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions later. In the end, we would have the same conditions as in 2015,” Kurz told the Friday editions of the newspapers of the Funke media group and its French partner newspaper Ouest-France.

He defended Athens’ move not to accept asylum applications for a month. “The people who are now arriving at this border are largely not refugees who are fleeing from the Syrian war zone. Most of them are migrants who have been living in Turkey for years,” emphasized the ÖVP chief.

These people have no right to asylum in Greece since they are not persecuted in Turkey. “But they are being abused, their suffering is being exploited. And they are being used to put pressure on the EU. We cannot play this game,” warned Kurz.

Every country is free to accept asylum seekers. Austria had processed 200 000 applications in recent years and, in relation to its population, accepted more migrants than almost any other EU country. “We have to integrate them now. It’s a big challenge. We cannot allow excessive demands, because that would be irresponsible.”

Kurz spoke out clearly in favor of better protection of the EU’s external borders. “If the external borders do not work, there will be borders within Europe again.” In 2015, Germany was the first EU country to reintroduce border controls. “I very much hope that Europe has learned from it this time.”

At the beginning of the week, Austria’s Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) had already confirmed that the country would not accept migrants. He contradicted Vice-Chancellor and Green Party leader Werner Kogler, who had asked to take children and women from the Greek camps. “We have not agreed that we should bring women or children to Austria in addition,” clarified Nehammer. Austria has sent personnel and financial aid to Greece.

Hungary had also closed its transit zones on the border. The government in Budapest justified the move by saying that there was a link between immigrants and the corona virus. Many asylum seekers came from or via Iran, where the disease is particularly widespread.

A majority of Germans meanwhile oppose Germany playing a pioneering role in welcoming migrants to the Greek border. According to a survey by infratest dimap for the ARD Germany, 49 percent of respondents disagreed with the statement that countries such as Germany and France should set a good example when accepting refugees, even if other EU countries oppose it. On the other hand, 48 percent thought Germany should stand alone when accepting migrants.

While this attitude is particularly pronounced among supporters of the Greens (75 percent), the SPD (71 percent) and the Left (60 percent), it was met with strong rejection by AfD supporters (95 percent). This view also predominates with the FDP (69 percent).

Notably, Merkel’s Union supporters are divided on this issue: 49 percent are in favor of receiving border migrants, while 46 are against it.

Only 41 percent of the citizens surveyed, on the other hand, disagreed with the statement that the Greek external EU border has to be closed to migrants from Turkey. Some 57 percent believe that they should be allowed to cross the border so that they can then be distributed to the individual EU countries.

In the meantime, seven German cities have asked the German government to create the conditions to accept children from migrant camps in Greece. In addition to the Lower Saxony Interior Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD), the appeal was signed by the Mayors of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Potsdam, Hanover, Freiburg, Rottenburg am Neckar and Frankfurt (Oder).

They also refer to the “Cities of Safe Ports” alliance, in which 140 cities have come together that have agreed to accept additional migrants.

The leader of the Swedish Democrats, an anti-immigration Swedish party, is however determined to discourage migrants. Jimmie Akesson traveled to Edirne, a border town with Turkey and distributed leaflets discouraging migrants from coming to Sweden. “Don’t come to our house. Sweden is full. We cannot give you more money or provide you with housing. Sorry,” says the leaflets.

Akesson told RT: “We have spoken to many of them and Sweden, Germany and France are often mentioned as destinations.”

THE EUROPEAN UNION is facing increasing scrutiny as Brexit inspires more euroscepticism in the bloc – and an insider from Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union has said that many in Germany fear the EU could “break apart”. The startling statement was made by Felix Schonherr from the Werte Union (Values Union) – a group within Merkel’s party which has called for the party to shift to the right in favour of “conservative values”. The group’s spokesman said that, while it does not oppose Germany’s membership in the EU, Brexit has sparked fears in Berlin and beyond that the bloc may be on the verge of breaking apart.

He told Express.co.uk: “In the general population people are angry about Brexit and disappointed about it – it isn’t just to do with regulation or economics but many people fear that the idea of the European Union is broken.

“They also fear that maybe it will break apart, but the media here doesn’t do a good job of reporting on Boris Johnson and Brexit.

“They usually frame him like Donald Trump – a little bit dumb or a little bit crazy – and kind of nationalistic or even hard right-wing.

“I think from a German economic perspective the UK is a very important trade partner, and we should try to get an agreement on both sides.”

The spokesman for the Werte Union said that his group didn’t have a position on the UK’s decision to leave the bloc, instead focusing on how it may affect Germany domestically.

He said Germans fear the euro may fail and the future of the EU could be undermined after Brexit.

Mr Schonherr added: “We tend to look more at the internal policies in Germany, but what we have spoken about is that maybe there will be a euro crash and that the EU will fail.

“The UK, if the EU crashes and burns with the euro, the UK will sit there with a smiling face and say ‘lucky we left’.”

One other issue the spokesman highlighted was the issue of German exports to the UK.

As the BBC reports – the UK accounts for 6.6 percent of German exports 2.6 percent of GDP. The latter figure is slightly above the EU average.

One industry that could lose out in Germany after Brexit is the automotive industry.

Mr Schonherr highlights how Brexit could also lead to more strain on Germany in the EU budget.

He said: “One problem from a German perspective is of course money because the UK contributed quite a lot to the EU, money which now breaks away.

“Of course, politicians now ask ‘who is going to step in for that?’ And it’s the Germans again.

“The Werte Union demands that the funding introduced for the EU is reduced – but we don’t want to abolish the EU.”

As budget feuds rumble on and post-Brexit pressure increases – the EU is now under more scrutiny than ever.

The drama happening on the mainland border between Greece and Turkey has raised concerns about a possible repetition of 2015’s migrant crisis.

At that time, Germany decided to accept all asylum seekers who were first flowing to the country from Turkey and Greece and then through the Balkan route via Hungary and Austria. For an incredible half a year, the Berlin government was receiving several thousand people a day.

As a result, Germany, among other things, divided Europe with its proposal for so-called migrant quotas, which the Czech Republic has remained adamantly opposed to.

Chancellor Angela Merkel later claimed that she would not have changed her position. Since then, the German elites have embraced a “welcoming culture” almost as part of their state identity. So why are they afraid now?

In autumn 2015, most of Europe sharply criticized Hungary, which built a fence on its southern border and forcibly pushed migrants away from its territory.

Today, the Greek police, with military support, have the same assignment as the Hungarians more than four years ago. The police even use tear gas, blinding grenades, water cannons, and, according to the Turks, live ammunition as well.

This time, however, Europe has no problem with the Greek response – on the contrary, it sympathizes with the country.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen even went to support Greece right on the border with Turkey and expressed her “compassion for the migrants that were lured through false promises into this desperate situation”.

She also referred to Greece as the “shield” of Europe. Can anyone imagine the European Commission president sharing such warm words for Hungary during the 2015 crisis?

The reason behind such a difference in approach to Hungary and Greece is simple. On the issue of migration, European voters have moved to the right.

The Coalition of the Radical Left, Syriza, that was directing migrants to the Balkan route instead of returning them to Turkey, is not in charge of Greece anymore. Conservatives now lead the country.

While Germany has not officially revoked its welcoming policy, for example, the favored candidate for CDU chairman, Friedrich Merz, states that another endless wave of refugees to Europe must be prevented right at the EU’s external border.

Alexander Gauland, leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), mentioned a few days ago that if another migration wave breaks out of Turkey, the popularity of AfD will increase fast, although the party is currently stagnating. This is what the German establishment is trying to prevent.

Also, after four years, there is no doubt that the opposition of the Visegrad Four, including the Czech Republic, paid off politically.

In recent days, the German interior minister has been promoting the idea of bringing underage Syrians to Europe from a camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. But after the displeasure his proposal has created among conservative voters, he specified that the young migrants would only be accepted based on a European solution.

And today, at least for the time being, such a possible solution does not include the universal quotas from autumn 2015. Syrian minors would only be redistributed within a “coalition of the willing countries” to which the Czech Republic will certainly not belong.

A 53-year-old man was first taken into custody outside the Bielefeld synagogue on Thursday afternoon. He had shouted “Allahu akbar” during a scuffle with police officers – Allah is great – and slightly injured a policewoman. In the evening he was able to escape from the psychiatric ward. The man had gone for a walk on Detmolder Street around 4:30 p.m. in the rush hour. Officers of the property protection service at the Jewish synagogue approached him and tried to persuade him to move to the sidewalk. Thereupon, according to a police spokesman, the man flipped out, flailed around and tried to flee. Several colleagues had done their best to drag him to the ground. The man, who continued to kick around, repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”). In addition, he is said to have had stones with him.The examination of the 53-year-old revealed that he is known to the police. As there were signs of mental confusion, he was taken to the psychiatric ward. He escaped from there a few hours later.

A poll has claimed that just one in five Germans are confident that Angela Merkel’s government can handle a widespread outbreak of the coronavirus.

The survey, which was conducted by polling firm INSA for German tabloid Bild, showedthat close to half (44 per cent) of the German public said they do not trust Merkel’s government to have made all the necessary preparations for an outbreak.

While confidence in the government’s preparedness is higher among men than women, only 23 per cent of men trust in the ability of the government.

Trust is also higher (21 per cent) in the west of the country than in the east (16 per cent), where the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is a fierce opponent of the Merkel government, enjoys widespread support.

To prepare for an outbreak of the virus — such as the outbreak in Italy, which currently has over 3,000 cases — the German Interior Ministry, the Ministry of Health, and other federal departments have set up a crisis team dedicated to the coronavirus threat.

Chancellor Merkel herself has been relatively silent on the coronavirus threat within Germany, only releasing a statement on the issues last Friday when she called for “measure and balance” to be applied to the issue.

Germany has seen far fewer confirmed infections compared to Italy but still has 262 cases, according to figures from the government’s Robert Koch Institut as of Wednesday afternoon.

The highest number of cases in Germany have occurred in North Rhine-Westphalia, followed by Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.

Italy, which has been hit hardest by the coronavirus outbreak, has taken drastic measures to reduce the spread of the virus this week, including banning fans from sporting eventsuntil April 3rd and closing all schools across the country until March 15th.

Populist Italian Senator Matteo Salvini has been deeply critical of the government’s response and even offered to form a national unity government to help combat the virus but the leftist coalition rejected the proposal.
