The situation in the morning - when will Olaf Scholz leave Twitter?

The green year of separation

Today the

votes on the lifetime of the remaining

in Germany.

Olaf Scholz's word of power - the reactors will remain online until April 2023 - must be democratically legitimized.

A majority in favor is as foreseeable as the fact that the opposition will vote no.

But there are also critics in the ranks of the traffic light coalition: "There is no reason for me and I see no need to agree to that," said the young Green MP Julian Pahlke to my colleague Serafin Reiber.

A good dozen other Greens should also be determined to say no.

The nuclear issue has stirred up the Greens enormously.

But what role the dispute plays at the top of the power structure is what Marina Kormbaki's Greens team has researched for the new issue of SPIEGEL: In the

between Foreign Minister

and Climate Minister

, the nuclear dispute apparently became a political weapon.

The former dream duo at the top of the Greens had become

during the election campaign .

Today, government members Habeck and Baerbock are

who are already eyeing the next candidate and eyeing every political decision from this point of view.

Also the question of the AKW maturities.

The conclusion of our team: "Habeck and Baerbock don't talk bad about each other.

They just don't talk about each other anymore.« How will this continue?

today .

It is to be feared that attention will wane.

Understandably so, because what's going on in Egypt can only be halfway understood through reports like those from my tireless colleagues Jonas Schaible and Susanne Götze from on the ground.

For two days this week I was allowed to wander in the entourage of Olaf Scholz through the seemingly Babylonian crowds and the huge grounds of the conference.

And I think Jonas Schaible described the situation very aptly in his latest report: the scorching heat outside, the air-conditioned freezing cold inside the halls, the mountain of rubbish on the site, the madness of exhaust emissions around it, the dominance of lobbyists and sponsors and the »greenwashing «, the ecological hypocrisy of many states.

One wishes that the Egyptian surveillance state didn't have the

completely under its thumb, and that the people of the "last generation" could get close enough to the Saudi pavilion with their tomato soup.

However, a new survey by Civey on behalf of SPIEGEL shows how

little

is for these

in Germany.

86 percent of respondents think this activism goes too far.

Disapproval is greatest among people over 65, but even among 18 to 29-year-olds, almost three out of four respondents disapprove of sticking on the street.

Only 29 percent of those surveyed think that the traffic light is doing enough to combat climate change.

In terms of content, there could theoretically be great support for the protesters.

Are they interested in numbers like that?

It

at and on

.

Shortly after the billionaire Elon Musk bought the short message service without a great plan, advertisers fled in droves, people were first fired en masse and then some were frantically reinstated.

On Twitter itself, Musk caused the greatest unrest with the decision that the

that shows the authenticity of Twitter profiles will be subject to a fee.

Since then, the former seal of quality has been used in a lot of silly ways.

There's a fake Pope tweeting nonsense about the Bible, a fake Joe Biden about his sex practices.

As entertaining as these games are, there are serious problems behind them.

Even when the Twitter management was still trying, disinformation and hate on the platform could hardly be curbed.

Now Musk seems to be giving up the reins voluntarily.

In Germany, the debate as to whether

politicians

now leave Twitter has not yet gained momentum

Many use the service anyway only for quasi-press releases about "exciting conversations" here or "good exchange" there.

But what happens when a false chancellor announces on Twitter that battle tanks will finally be sent to Ukraine tomorrow?

Or straight to Russia, on the Gulf of Finland, LOL, wink?!

The real Olaf Scholz tweets so tamely and bureaucratically, and only after approval by a dozen pairs of eyes in the Federal Press Office, that such outbursts are easily recognizable as false.

But there is also a more subtle way.

And what about statements made by false police departments?

Terror warnings from wrong task forces?

And who listens to real alerts from accounts that don't have blue ticks?

The fake profiles bring a new level of uncertainty and danger to the communication of a wide variety of government agencies.

Poor, poorer, teacher

' congress is taking place in Düsseldorf today

.

The teachers' union VBE wants to present a survey on job satisfaction and violence against teachers.

One suspects bad things about the results.

This is followed by a lecture by Eckart von Hirschhausen, doctor and comedian, about "Healthy Earth, Healthy People," and in fact teachers are only human, a teacher's daughter knows that very well.

Who still wants to teach today?

In times of constant mobile phone presence, eating disorders, cyberbullying, or traumatized children from Syria or the Ukraine?

Today's teachers deserve the utmost respect.

But maybe one should also ask who still wants to be a student today?

And that's when you think back gratefully to the old days, when as a nerd you could hole up in the Siegburg public library all afternoon without worrying about someone posting an embarrassing photo of you somewhere.

The next morning then again math with Mrs. Hachtel.

A consolation perhaps for those who are being bullied today: At the graduation meeting in 25 years, everything will be forgotten and everyone is very nice.

In the new Whatsapp chat of our year, things are also done in a mannerly manner.

You can find news and background information on the war in Ukraine here:

• Selenskyj speaks of 41 liberated places - and 170,000 square kilometers infested with mines:

  "One will be able to rest": The Ukrainian army expects the fighting to subside in winter.

  Mine clearance begins in the liberated areas.

  And: The USA is supplying air defense systems.

  That happened in the night.

• Kiev's protective shield against Russia's air raids is growing:

  the first units of the Nasams system have arrived in Ukraine.

  The fact that these anti-aircraft weapons could be a long-term gain for Kyiv is mainly due to the ammunition. 

• Chamber play without Putin:

  The Kremlin has published a staged dialogue about the withdrawal of Russian troops from Cherson.

  Actors: The Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Armed Forces.

  Only Putin is missing.

• How Putin wants to make Ukrainian cities uninhabitable:

  Since the beginning of October, Russia's air force has been increasingly attacking critical infrastructure targets.

  The electricity grid in Ukraine is to be destroyed.

  What exactly is Vladimir Putin aiming for with this and how are the people in Ukraine reacting?

Winner of the day...

.

In the SPIEGEL interview, the economist and newest »Wirtschaftsweise«, born in 1973, describes her positions on financial policy so clearly that even laypeople can understand them well.

Malmendier is in favor of Eurobonds, i.e. the joint debt of the EU countries, because the Eurozone suffers from the fact that »each country still pursues its own budgetary policy.

As long as it stays that way, the currency union will always be in danger of breaking up,« she says.

As one hears from government circles, it was not easy to win over the professor from the US University of Berkeley as an economist.

The ex-Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier is said to have already turned her down.

In the interview, Malmendier now also reveals which member of the government she was able to convince to join the Advisory Council.

The SPIEGEL + recommendations for today

  A young woman has shoulder pain.

  She's been looking for help for weeks, months, years.

  Only after an operation does she find out about her illness, which is widespread but whose name she has never heard. 

• The climate rescuers rely on these climate hypocrites:

  instead of water, there's coke, air conditioning makes the negotiators in the desert freeze - and the journey is actually only possible by plane: the climate conference fails in its own claim to take action against ecological lies. 

• "You were warned":

  At times, the crypto exchange FTX was worth $ 32 billion, after its crash investors now have a problem.
