Berlin has been plunged into its longest power outage since World War II after an arson attack on high-voltage power cables triggered a massive blackout in the city southwest. German federal prosecutors have taken over the investigation and launched a terrorism probe, citing suspected sabotage, arson, disruption of public services, and possible membership in a terrorist organization.

John Rudat, a 20-year-old American paramedic, was brutally slashed across the face on a tram in Dresden while defending women from harassment. The suspect, a Syrian man, has been arrested and the attack has sparked fierce debate over Europe’s immigration policies. Speaking from his hospital bed, Rudat declared that Europe faces an “immigration problem,” echoing rhetoric long used by Donald Trump.
