Schmeckt nicht: Schokohersteller Lindt & Sprüngli muss in Frankreich eine halbe Mio Euro Strafe wegen einer Fernsehwerbung für seine Linie "Champs-Élysées" zahlen. Die Bilder im Spot von 2018 seien zu nah an der echten Beleuchtungsinstallation, für die die Vereinigung aller Händler an der Prunkstraße verantwortlich zeichnet. Das Gerichtsurteil nennt das Vorgehen "parasitär", der Chocolatier findet es jetzt wohl eher "zartbitter". sueddeutsche.de(Foto: IMAGO / Depositphotos)

Polish President Blocks Judicial Reform Proposed by Tusk's GovernmentFri 20th Feb, 2026The Polish President, Karol Nawrocki, has exercised his veto power to halt a key judicial reform backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-European administration. The proposed legislation aimed to reestablish the independence of Poland's National Council of the Judiciary, a central institution responsible for nominating judges in the country. Critics argued that this undermined the separation of powers and judicial independence, drawing criticism from the European Union and a legal challenge at the European Court of Justice. He emphasized ongoing efforts to ensure that constitutional institutions act in the interests of citizens and indicated that alternative strategies are being considered to achieve judicial independence. The controversy over judicial reforms in Poland continues to attract attention from international observers, particularly the European Union, which has linked the restoration of judicial independence to the allocation of certain EU funds.

Trump Announces Plans to Release Classified Files on Aliens and UFOsFri 20th Feb, 2026Former US President Donald Trump has announced his intention to make previously classified government documents concerning extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) accessible to the public. The announcement follows increased calls for transparency regarding government-held information about unexplained aerial phenomena and potential evidence of alien existence. The discussion around extraterrestrial life and UFOs has intensified in recent years, fueled by official reports from defense and intelligence agencies acknowledging encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena. Despite these acknowledgments, no definitive public evidence has been presented to confirm the existence of alien life or direct contact with Earth. The release of classified files related to UFOs and potential alien encounters has long been a subject of public fascination and debate within the scientific community, political circles, and among the general population.

Weltcup-Sieg als HöhepunktDSV-Sportdirektor Felix Bitterling sagt: „Jetzt ist also der Zeitpunkt gekommen: Franzi Preuß beendet ihre Biathlon-Karriere. Man kann ihr nur gratulieren zu einer großartigen Karriere, gespickt mit Erfolgen und das trotz gesundheitlichen Rückschlägen. Der Gesamtweltcup ist für mich das absolute Qualitätsmerkmal in unserer Sportart, weil er zeigt, wer über eine komplette Saison die beste Athletin ist. Jetzt ist es wichtig, dass Ruhe einkehrt, dass sie Familie und Freunde treffen kann, wenn es ihr Spaß macht, und diese Zeit nach der Karriere genießen kann. Wir wünschen ihr alles erdenklich Gute und bedanken uns für die vielen Jahre, die Erfolge, die wir gemeinsam feiern durften, aber auch für die Tage, an denen es nicht so gelaufen ist und die uns trotzdem zusammengeschweißt haben.“

Auch nach der Konstituierung von Donald Trumps sogenanntem Friedensrat ist völlig unklar, was dieses Gremium genau darstellen soll. Insofern passt sie aber zu Trump, der aus Gaza einmal eine Riviera für die Reichen und Schönen machen wollte. Trumps Agenda mit der EUÜber das Gremium wissen wir, dass Trump es „großartig“ findet, ebenso die Staatsmänner, die sich zu einer Teilnahme bequemt haben, und vor allem natürlich sich selbst. Nun soll es, darf man einer Nebenbemerkung entnehmen, eine Art Aufsichtsrat für die Vereinten Nationen sein, natürlich unter Trumps Kommando auf Lebenszeit. Zweifellos kommt es auch Trumps Agenda entgegen, dass die Europäische Union sich dadurch hat spalten lassen, dass Ungarn und Bulgarien sich angeschlossen haben.
