German authorities have detained an aide to Maximilian Krah, a leading figure in the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, on charges of espionage. The assistant, identified only as Jian G., is accused of relaying sensitive details about European Parliament deliberations to China's Ministry of State Security, as well as spying on Chinese dissidents within Germany. Arrested in Dresden by the Saxony State Criminal Police Office, Jian G. faces serious allegations of working as a foreign agent. The ramifications of these charges have prompted Krah to announce potential immediate termination of Jian G.'s position if the allegations are substantiated. Both Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann have expressed grave concerns about the case, labelling the espionage activities as "extremely serious" and calling for stringent consequences should the accusations hold. Chinese espionage in Germany is increasing, with a recent arrest being part of a larger pattern of such activities. This highlights concerns about ongoing surveillance, which goes beyond political espionage to include economic and military intelligence gathering. This situation adds to the complexity of Germany's diplomatic relations, particularly at a time when Chancellor Olaf Scholz is urging China to take a tougher stance on Russia in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Source: AFP, AP So what Two days in a row; while there is no information to confirm that these two arrests are linked, it appears possible. China has taken a decent blow to its intelligence network in Europe over the last couple of days and months. Although they likely maintain a significant number of assets working at various levels, these arrests will likely cause some concern. Sadly, China is almost certainly skilled enough to have its network organised in a way that limits its exposure due to these arrests, meaning that even if the two are linked, more are unlikely to follow.

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 Joint statement from U.S. Ambassador to the EU Mark Gitenstein and Vice-President of the European Commission Věra Jourová on #WorldPressFreedomDay 👇 This World Press Freedom Day we honor courageous journalists who face incredible hardship – and sometimes incredible personal danger—to inform citizens. We also honor those who volunteer in classrooms, teach media literacy, and foster critical thinking among us all. Around the world, journalists have been killed in ongoing conflicts or remain unlawfully imprisoned by autocratic regimes. This is true for journalists like Alsu Kurmasheva and Evan Gershkovich, wrongfully detained in Russia, and Andrzej Poczobut, held in isolation in Belarus. Together the United States, Europe, and our many partners will keep working every day to reunite these brave journalists with their families and to hold those responsible to account. As we celebrate the importance of press freedom, we look not just at the injustice for individual journalists but the critical danger faced by media in our democracies. Both sides of the Atlantic are in an existential struggle for democracy. Free and independent media, once the lifeblood of our civil discourse, is under direct threat from malign authoritarian regimes. Authoritarians seek to capture and dominate media to turn this tool of freedom into a tool of propaganda, weaponizing information to spread disinformation, deepen polarization, and undermine trust in democratic institutions. No country is immune to the danger of authoritarianism, to leaders who pressure the media to stifle their investigations, to leaders who channel foreign malign influence into party politics.  Together democracies must protect the press and ensure the health of the media landscape or face the consequences.

Misinformation and Communal Tensions in Bangladesh: A Growing Concern. The spread of false information on social media, particularly Twitter, has fueled communal violence and tensions in Bangladesh. A recent investigation revealed 50 accounts, mostly based in India, promoting misleading content reaching over 154 million views, distorting facts and misrepresenting people. Mainstream media outlets and influencers have also been implicated in spreading disinformation, highlighting the need for fact-checking and responsible reporting to combat the spread of falsehoods and promote peace and harmony. #Misinformation #CommunalTensions #Bangladesh #Disinformation #SocialMediaResponsibility #FactChecking #PromotePeace #ResponsibleReporting #StopFakeNews #MediaEthics

🚗 Germans are handing over their driving licenses in exchange for free #publictransport. Around a thousand people in North Rhine-Westphalia, a populous western German state, have relinquished their driving licenses as part of a scheme designed to reduce the car-loving country’s reliance on automobiles. Aimed primarily at senior citizens, the incentive enables people to surrender their #driving licenses for a year’s free public transport, known as the “Deutschlandticket.” The ticket, which normally costs €49 (£41) a month, allows holders to travel on all local transport across #Germany, including regional #trains.
