Mit diesem skurrilen Problem haben die Organisatoren der Fußball-WM in Mexiko, Kanada und den USA vermutlich nicht gerechnet: Europäische Fußballfans, die Tickets für die Spiele im Sommer ergattert haben, stellen im Netz Fragen, die bei den Einheimischen für Überraschung oder gar Fassungslosigkeit sorgen.

Für viele Fans aus Europa gehört es ganz selbstverständlich dazu, gemeinsam zum Stadion zu laufen. Zu Fuß. Oft entweder aus dem Stadtzentrum oder von einem nahegelegenen Bahnhof aus.

In Online-Foren häufen sich derzeit Fragen internationaler Besucher: Kann man von einem bestimmten Hotel zum Stadion laufen? Vom Hauptbahnhof? Zwei, drei Kilometer – das sei doch sicher kein Problem? Die Antworten vieler US-Amerikaner dazu fallen jedoch überraschend deutlich aus: Zu Fuß zu gehen, so der Tenor, sei in vielen Städten weder üblich noch empfehlenswert.

James Talarico has been found guilty of quoting Jesus. The sentence he uttered, according to right-wing media, was “demonic” and “blasphemous,” exposing him as a “fake Christian.” Talarico is running for the U.S. Senate in Texas on a platform The New Yorker recently described as basically the New Testament. One Newsmax host accused him of using fake Bible passages.

The passages in question are familiar ones, found in Matthew 22 and Matthew 25. Love God and love your neighbor. Feed the hungry, heal the sick, welcome the stranger. They are, in fact, in the Bible.

The right’s attacks on Talarico aren’t about him, or at least not entirely. They’re about a much older argument — one progressive Christianity has been losing in public for 50 years — about whose version of the faith gets to count as real. The answer to that question has consequences far beyond any Senate race. When Christianity becomes a tool of power rather than a challenge to it, it doesn’t just damage the church. It destabilizes democracy. We are watching that happen in real time.

As Vladimir Putin calls for improving Russia's air defenses, DW asks Russian expert and author Leon Aron if Ukraine's ongoing attacks on Russian oil refineries are finally affecting the Russian leader's grip on power.

[Video, 19 min.]

Ukraine's growing drone strikes inside Russia hit oil infrastructure and force the scaling-down of public events, putting pressure on President Vladimir Putin.

But despite the economic strain, declining domestic popularity and military setbacks, Putin insists Russia is recovering and winning.

Experts say he still controls the narrative at home through propaganda and repression, but could mounting pressure eventually threaten his grip on power?

Qcells has begun manufacturing solar cells at its new facility in Cartersville, Georgia, bringing the company closer to operating what it says is the United States’ first and only fully vertically integrated solar manufacturing factory.

The company announced that the plant is now producing solar cells and expects all production lines to reach full capacity by the third quarter of 2026. Once fully operational, the facility will manufacture ingots, wafers, cells, and solar modules under one roof.

The start of cell production marks a significant milestone for domestic solar manufacturing, as most solar panels installed in the US still rely on imported components. Qcells said the Cartersville site will become the largest operating solar cell factory in US history...

Schade.

Sen. Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for an undisclosed medical issue, according to a spokesperson.

The 84-year-old was admitted to a hospital Sunday morning and “is receiving excellent care,” his office said.

It wasn’t immediately made public why he was taken to the hospital.

McConnell has suffered a series of health issues in recent years and was hospitalized for eight days in February for flu-like symptoms.

I'm not into sports myself, but I hear a lot of people complain about predatory subscriptions to professional sport streaming servicies, intrusive gambling ads, etc. Organize free internet streaming of old broadcasts right as they enter public domain (50 years after broadcast in UK) and pretend they are going live, do discussion, bar cheering, all the things sports people do to entertain themselves, for free.
