- In a video posted on X, Höcke calls on Wagenknecht to become Thuringia’s minister president and to implement this before September 6, 2026.
- The AfD and BSW could theoretically form a majority in Thuringia’s state parliament, holding 32 and 15 of its 88 seats respectively, while 45 votes are required.
- In Thuringia, the BSW is part of the CDU-BSW-SPD coalition supporting Minister President Mario Voigt (CDU), who is under pressure after his appeal against the revocation of his doctorate was rejected.
- Höcke and the AfD subsequently announced another constructive vote of no confidence after an initial AfD parliamentary-group bid in February, with Höcke as its candidate, failed.
Become the Minister-President of the Free State of Thuringia! I extend you my hand. Let us open a new chapter in the history of party politics in the Federal Republic of Germany.— Björn Höcke, in a video directed at Sahra Wagenknecht, posted on X, offering to make her Minister-President of Thuringia.

- The BSW called for involving the AfD in government after the state election and seeks to remove the CDU incumbent in favor of a nonpartisan minister president governing with changing majorities.
- Amira Mohamed Ali said the BSW would abstain in the third ballot if the other parties rejected the model; that ballot requires a majority of votes cast, while abstentions are not counted.
- Ulrich Siegmund rejects this approach, favors an AfD-only government and considers a minister president without a parliamentary majority insufficiently stable.
- The state election is scheduled for September 6, with the AfD polling at around 40 percent ahead of the CDU while the BSW fears missing parliament because of the five-percent threshold.
Our goal is the removal of the CDU's incumbent, including the AfD as well. No matter how one views the positions of this party, if they receive around 40 percent of the vote, you cannot ignore them completely.— Amira Mohamed Ali, co-chair of the BSW, in an interview with the Rheinische Post

- After his regime was overthrown in December 2024, Assad fled Damascus for Moscow with his family.
- In the same case, Atef Najib, Assad’s cousin and former head of political security in Deraa province, also received a death sentence and appeared in a courtroom cage.
- Najib was convicted of offences including murder, the intentional killing of children under 15, and torture resulting in death.
- It remains unclear whether Syria’s new authorities can secure Assad’s extradition from Moscow; an arrest warrant for murder and torture was already issued against him in December 2025.
They want to see these people that tortured their children, displaced them from their homes and destroyed their communities be held to account for these crimes.— Obaida Hitto, Al Jazeera journalist in Damascus, describing the ruling

- The Higher Administrative Court of Saxony-Anhalt rejected the applications for permission to appeal after the Magdeburg Administrative Court had dismissed the lawsuits in March 2025, making the decision final.
- The court said the individuals lacked the reliability required under firearms law because the AfD state branch pursued efforts directed against human dignity and the democratic principle.
- The court clarified that no ban on the organization is required and that an objectively militant-aggressive stance toward constitutional principles can suffice even without physical violence.
- In the three cases, the court found no special circumstances that would support the plaintiffs’ firearms-law reliability despite their ties to the AfD state branch.

- In December 2025, the 22-year-old says he traveled to Russia expecting military training for work as a bodyguard, but after two weeks of rudimentary training he and other Africans were transferred to Ukraine.
- According to his account, he was first assigned to a 424-soldier battalion in Donetsk, where all the others were reportedly killed within two weeks, before he led a battalion in Volnovakha in which only three of 566 recruits remained.
- Nchama describes freezing conditions, hunger and nine days without food, while his unit was also reportedly kept under constant pressure to carry out orders under threats of death.
- He alerted his parents in March, prompting Equatorial Guinea’s government to announce diplomatic steps; after 11 more days at the front, he reached Russia, escaped with help from the ambassador and returned home.
It was a threat. We had to sign.— Daniel Angel Masie Nchama describes the moment when a Russian soldier placed his weapon on the table to force the recruits to sign.

- Since Tuesday evening, August 11, about seven hectares of forest have been burning in Plauen’s Meßbach district, an area roughly equal to nearly ten football fields.
- The 120 responders are advancing on foot because steep slopes cannot be reached by fire engines, extending hoses and cutting a firebreak; deadwood is further hindering firefighting, while the cause remains unclear.
- According to the city administration, a drone survey shortly before 6 a.m. on Wednesday showed that the open flames had been pushed back; because the ground remained hot, firefighting was expected to continue through at least Wednesday and probably into Thursday night.
- According to the city, three firefighting helicopters from Dresden were due to begin drawing water from Pirk Reservoir and dropping it over hard-to-reach slopes from Wednesday morning, while residents within seven kilometres were advised to keep windows and doors closed because of the smoke.
We are talking about the biggest fire incident we have had in the forests and on the fields in the last 30 years.— Said Steffen Zenner, Mayor of Plauen (CDU), about the scale of the forest fire in Plauen

- Persistent drought pushed water levels lower and severely restricted inland shipping, while industry sources said supplies nevertheless remained secure.
- Because oil, petrol and diesel are generally transported more cheaply on the Rhine by tanker vessel than by truck, logistics costs have partly risen sharply during the low water levels, according to ADAC expert Christian Laberer.
- On Tuesday morning, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse had the highest petrol prices, ahead of Bremen, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland; for diesel, they ranked second.
- At district level, expensive areas were concentrated particularly in western Germany, while Bavaria, especially its southern half, was cheapest; the differences between Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia or Hesse were about seven cents for petrol and eight cents for diesel.
The current low water on the Rhine is driving up prices.— Christian Laberer, ADAC fuel-market expert, on the impact of low water on fuel prices

- Klingbeil said the provision would be removed from the draft because the debate had wrongly created the impression that small clubs and volunteers were to be burdened.
- Under the original plan, the €5,000 allowance for taxable clubs was to be replaced by a €1,000 threshold, making the entire income taxable once higher profits were earned.
- The Union also criticized the proposal, with CSU state-group leader Alexander Hofmann saying lower allowances would affect clubs that often lacked financial reserves.
- Regarding the planned income-tax reform, Klingbeil said the coalition committee’s decision would be implemented in full and the promised €10 billion in relief would be reached in 2028.

- The signatories describe the planned handling of the World Cup as a fundamental breach of trust and criticize an inquiry into recent events that would not be fully independent.
- Infantino would need at least 106 of 211 votes for re-election in Rabat in March 2027, but a current projection indicates that he would not secure the majority.
- Possible next steps include a FIFA Council crisis meeting backed by at least 19 of its 37 members or an extraordinary FIFA Congress requested by one-fifth of the member associations.
