Hello and welcome to the daily "#Ukraine" thread for Day 424 of the awful and illegal war started by #Russia.
For those of us in #England, happy St George's Day. It's also London Marathon day, so let's wish luck to this remarkable man: #StandWithUkraine

Yesterday we saw #Russia's brotherly love for Eton Musk. Russian advances in #Bakhmut. Explosions in occupied #Melitopol as well as usual attacks on the liberated part of #Kherson and #Kharkiv.

For the first time the @TheStudyofWar states that #Ukraine troops have claimed land south of the river (left bank) in #Kherson region.
I'm not 100% convinced. I'd say this coastal region is uncontrolled, with very regular sorties by 🇺🇦 tactical squads:

Thread. Giving the V-sign to captors. Around 15,000 Indian soldiers were captured in North Africa & Italy in #WW2. They were held by the Germans and Italians for up to 5 years, and almost none of their stories are known. 1/9
I am trying to track down relatives of these 15,000 Indian POWs. For example, in this group photo from a German camp for officers, there’s a #sikh officer in the back row. Was this your grandfather? 2/9
In Britain in the 60s and 70s, I grew up with images like these. POW stories were a staple, always featuring white men, usually officers, upper lips stiffened, trying to escape from #Colditz and Stalag Luft III. Where were the Indians?

#OTD #battleofhanau #Hanau #Napoleon #bavaria #austria #oesterreich #befreiungskriege #coalitionwars In the night of the 29th Octobre Bonaparte rested in the castle of Langenselbold. It had been ten days since Leipzig and 310 km of march. 30 km the day meant
sometimes a rest but marching all the day. For some soldiers like Marshal MacDonald it had been a wet start since Leipzig, where many soldiers had to swim through the river since the bridge was blewn up too early. Only a small part of those, who swam, still had their arms.
If the soldiers could not sleep inside of occupied houses, or in tents, it was a cold night in the meadows. Especially the meadows of the Kinzig have high ground water and are wet and cold at night. Bavaria had already changed the sides and joined the coalition already at
Southern German state of Bavaria makes N95 masks *mandatory* (their version called FFP2) when using public transport or entering retail stores.

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

Son of Gisella of Burgundy and Henry II the Quarrelsome, Duke of Bavaria. Educated at the cathedral school in Hildesheim by bishop Wolfgang of Regensburg. Became Duke of Bavaria himself in 995 upon his father's death, which ended Henry's thoughts of becoming a priest....
Ascended to the throne of Germany in 1002. Crowned King of Pavia, Italy on 15 May 1004. Married Saint Cunegunda, but was never a father. Some sources claim the two lived celibately, but there is no evidence either way...
Henry's brother rebelled against his power, and Henry was forced to defeat him on the battlefield, but later forgave him, and the two reconciled. Henry was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1014 by Pope Benedict VIII; he was the last of the Saxon dynasty of emperors...
As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.

Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
(1/3) In March, a redline set by @ManfredWeber for #Fidesz' continued @EPP membership was to safeguard @ceu's operation in 🇭🇺. He proposed to build a partnership b/w #Bavaria & #Hungary in the matter.
Months later, this hasn't come into being & the HU gvt blaims #Bavaria for it.

(2/3) with @w_heubisch whom I had the pleasure to meet some weeks ago, we wanted to know the position of the #Bavarian gvt on this.
👉 now we know: it bluntly rejects the Hungarian gvt's accusations!
Read the parliamentary question of Mr. Heubisch & the Bavarian gvt's answer 👇

(3/3) In case @ManfredWeber or @EPP had any doubts: #Orbán had no intention whatsoever to find a solution for @ceu. On the contrary, the story serves #Fidesz propaganda. The day CEU anounced it had to leave, he was probably jubilating, while 🇭🇺 was losing one of its best unis!
This thread contains a series of articles covering the Ursula Herrman cold case, which investigators and family are attempting to re-open. We need your help amplifying this story to get to the bottom of who murdered this 9-year-old child and bring them to justice. #OpDeathEaters

"Catalonia and the trial on the referendum: a challenge for the EU". Conferència conjunta amb el president @QuimTorraiPla a Brussel·les

#CatalanEU
Last Tuesday, a political trial against members of the previous @govern, against social leaders of the main civil organizations of #Catalonia and against the former president of the @parlamentcat began in Spain #CatalanEU
The simple fact that this trial could take place brings #ShametoSpain and, therefore, to the entire #EuropeanUnion, whose main institutions have chosen to remain silent, when facing such a disgraceful situation where democracy is at stake #CatalanEU
In #Bavaria, as after recent elex in Sweden, commentators rushing to point to rise of far right. It’s absolutely significant that AfD now has seat in regional parliament. Important too to note AfD came 4th. Greens came 2nd
Takeaway from #Bavaria - voter disenchantment with traditional governing parties (CSU lost 10%; social democrats came 5th) is a continuing trend
But the trend does not automatically translate in to support for far right or populist nationalist parties. Greens did well this weekend at the polls in Belgium and in Luxembourg too
