Merz zu Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt „Aufgeben ist für mich keine Option“

Es sei „die schwerste Wahlniederlage, die die CDU seit Jahren, seit Jahrzehnten eingefahren hat“, so Merz. „Das Ganze wird natürlich Konsequenzen haben müssen.“ Es sei klar, dass die CDU nicht zur Tagesordnung übergehen könne. Das Wahlergebnis löse große Erschütterungen aus, im Land und in der CDU. Er werde versuchen, dem Ernst der Lage Rechnung zu tragen.

Das Wahlergebnis mache auch etwas mit ihm persönlich, sagte Merz. Es habe zudem Auswirkungen auch auf die internationale Lage und finde international Beachtung.

A long ‘journey’ for Nobel chemistry winner born to Palestinian refugees

(October 8, 2025)

U.S. chemist Omar Yaghi, who on Wednesday became the first Palestinian scientist to win a Nobel Prize, reached the pinnacle of his profession after “quite a journey,” he said in remarks posted to X from the official Nobel account, recorded just after he learned the news.

He was born into a family of refugees, he told the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded him the Nobel Prize in chemistry for groundbreaking work in molecular architecture, along with collaborators Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson. “My parents could barely read or write,” he said.

Qatari cybertrucks, elite camels and trillion-dollar vows: Why Gulf countries are going all out for Trump’s visit

The numbers are historic. Qatar and the U.S. agreed on a $1.2 trillion “economic exchange”; Saudia Arabia promised to invest $600 billion in the U.S., and major projects were signed with the United Arab Emirates, after Abu Dhabi in March committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the U.S.
