Germany news: Minister wants to help renters to install AC
The justice minister wants to make it easier for tenants to install air conditioning or external blinds. The CEO of a defense startup is reportedly in hiding after being warned of Russian plots to kill him. DW has more.
German Interior Minister Herbert Reul visited the fire-ravaged town of Monschau in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where about 30 residents remain under evacuation orders. The 3,000-hectare wildfire in the High Fens nature reserve in Belgium is currently being fought, with positive developments reported amid occasional light rain and cooler temperatures.
Reul urged against rumors and speculation regarding the cause of the fire, emphasizing that investigations must be conducted thoroughly before any prosecution can take place. He warned against irresponsible behavior in the woods, such as discarding cigarette butts or using hot coals, as the majority of forest fires are ultimately caused by human activity.
