The Jewish Museum is never built?



Cologne - And out! The one with the creation of a foundation, and the promised million-Payment Defaulting makers association is deregistered by the planned Jewish museum.
"I assume the club so good will," said Mayor Fritz Schramma yesterday. "But obviously there is no money here! Therefore, we must act now. "
Finally, it is not just the Jewish Museum at the Town Hall square in danger, and the Archaeological Zone: "If we do not believe there in the fall and a decision on construction start in 2010 with the construction, we will support tens of millions of dollars lost."

Plunges into the King's Indian Wells crisis?



Munich - The bosses were silent. Neither Hoeness nor Karl-Heinz Rummenigge commented on Monday on the tense situation at Bayern. After a meeting on Sunday was posted on Monday convened a further Board meeting. "Contents of which will certainly not give it to the public," played down Bayern advisor Paul Breitner.
Obviously, however, is that the problems and shortcomings have been addressed - the question of why it does not work with Indian Wells, had to be analyzed. For the ex-coach is already seriously in the master record. 2:5 against Bremen, 0-1 in Hanover: The Bundesliga's wayward start, on Tuesday waiting in the premier class, the strong Lyon.
"The criticism has come," said Indian Wells on Monday, dejectedly. "Criticism after a defeat at Bayern is quite normal, especially after two defeats. But we have peace, "said the coach," we have intensively discussed us. "
It has therefore gerappelt in the cabin. Klinsmann: "I have covered the things very clearly. But that's between us. "Similarly, the coach makes a secret order of the draw against Lyon. Is again rotated? Ribery plays? "Because they have to wait until shortly before kick-off," says Indian Wells and smiles painfully. Here the Frenchman beating down on the duel with his fellow countrymen. "Against Lyon, I would accrue even with a broken leg. I want to play. I want to show on the pitch what I can. "
Klinsi needs the creativity of Ribéry to regain peace in the store. Even if it by self-doubt or even fear is nothing to remember: "I have patience with everything that belongs to it. Now and again a minor setback is normal. "
Minor setback? A third loss within eleven days, and Indian Wells would put a king in the middle of crisis. "The team is in a redefinition," said Klinsmann also in view of the hierarchy, "this is a new process, especially after the departure of Oliver Kahn." A power vacuum at Bayern? Indian Wells: "We lack at the moment especially the consistency with the same enthusiasm and go the same power in every game." Against Lyon should have a proper increase her - otherwise unpleasant for Klinsi's final.

Somalia: hijackers wanted to kidnap German



Mogadishu --
That was close. Only thanks to the prudent actions of a Russian pilot and his engineer, two German journalists in Somalia have escaped a kidnapping.
The machine with about 30 passengers was from Puntland, a sub-state in northern Somalia, on the road to Djibouti. On board also John Dieterich (Frankfurter Rundschau) and Arne Perras ( "Süddeutsche Zeitung").
"It takes two, maybe three minutes, then suddenly a man jumps up in the front row," says Perras (42) later to his office. The man yells at Somali that he is concerned only about the Germans. He pulls a gun. This will open the door of the cockpit.
The flight engineer, looking out. There is a scramble, the engineer can close the door, they lock. The kidnappers fired two shots at the cockpit door. But that is made of steel.
"It's as if someone tied me with violence to the chest."
In the 10th Series crouches Dieterich (52). He thinks of his family in Johannesburg (South Africa): "Tomorrow is my son's twelfth birthday, and my 7-year-old daughter still needs me."
The kidnappers demand that the machine is in a small town, about 15 minutes flight from the departure airport in Bosaso (Puntland) from land. But the pilot is from radio messages, which controls the machine back to the departure airport. Once he has to take off. The hijacker had wild shot at the cockpit door.
"It is the moment where I think: He shot the pilot, we crash," says Perras.
But the second successful landing. It waits a police force already on the kidnappers. One of the perpetrators will be taken on the leg. "My third life begins," says Dieterich. "The second began 17 years ago after a plane crash in Angola."
