Unless you’re an actual frequent flyer, you probably don’t pay much attention to loyalty programmes. And why would you? You might assume that if you’re not constantly racking up air miles, it’s not worth your time.

Die Welt spielt verrückt, doch im Präsidium des Bundestages herrscht überraschende Einigkeit. Bundestagsvizepräsident Bodo Ramelow (Die Linke) gibt im Gespräch mit Gordon Repinski einen seltenen Einblick in die überparteiliche Zusammenarbeit, auch bei Nachtschichten.

Zudem verrät er, warum die Wahrnehmung der Linken im Bundestag…

Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong was sentenced to 10 more years in jail in the Chinese territory on Thursday for colluding with foreign powers. Wong, who became internationally renowned during the “Umbrella Movement” that convulsed Hong Kong in 2014, has already spent almost six years behind bars and is now not due for release until late 2036. The former student leader, who turned 30 last month, was previously expected to be freed in January after serving four years and eight months for “subversion” under a Beijing-introduced national security law. But Hong Kong authorities used the same law to charge…

Rescuers and marine medics from Project Jonah worked alongside DOC staff, local iwi and Ngawi volunteers to keep the surviving whales wet and cool. Most of the pod died despite those efforts, and by Thursday evening the last four…
