BREAKING: US President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court.
"This is my third such nomination... a very proud moment indeed," said Trump. Image
In his speech, Trump said Coney Barrett had "unyielding loyalty" to the Constitution and praised Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her contribution to women's rights.
"This should be a non-controversial and fast confirmation", added Trump, praising Coney Barrett's academic qualifications.
Amy Coney Barrett: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg smashed glass ceilings... she was a woman of enormous talent and consequence." Coney Barrett went on to emphasize that she will apply the law as it is.

She will be the 9th justice in the US Supreme Court.
The Republican-majority Senate is likely to back Barrett, paving the way for a more conservative top court.

Bad day to be Not Good at colors, huh?

#Bundestagswahl21
A German government needs a 50% majority in parliament, but it's difficult for one party to get that much voter support. They agree on coalitions and working out what it all means is like math. Color theory? Color algebra? The numbers of shade? Ok bear with us, it's still early.
So let's break it down:

The center-right CDU and CSU are symbolized by the color black.

The center-left Social Democrat SPD is red, as is the socialist Left Party.

The neoliberal Free Democrats' (FDP) color is yellow.

And the Greens are, well, c'mon, it's not 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 hard.

The US embassy in Iraq was attacked at the start of the year by a crowd angered by US airstrikes targeting an Iran-backed militia.

The protesters have since withdrawn from the area after a tense standoff.
US and Iran tensions have been continually rising.

The Pentagon confirmed today that Iranian General Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US airstrike in Baghdad.

"This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans," the Pentagon said.

p.dw.com/p/3Veen
The US embassy in Baghdad has reportedly urged citizens to "depart Iraq immediately" after the strike.

Iraq PM Adil Abdul-Mahdi says that the US can expect retaliation, and that the strike "will spark a devastating war in Iraq."

As large numbers of displaced people arrived in 2015, some Schengen countries reintroduced border checks. Six are extending controls.

People and goods can move rather freely across the internal borders of the 26-nation Schengen Area.

The idea is that the agreement (between 22 EU countries + 🇮🇸, 🇱🇮, 🇳🇴 & 🇨🇭) will boost domestic economies and facilitate human mobility in a way that few parts of the world permit.
Clear rules regulate when and how a Schengen country can temporarily reintroduce checks at its borders.

Until recently, these reintroductions were few and far between, usually invoked for foreseeable events, such as major sports competitions or political meetings:
