Ramadan: Danish immigration minister Stoejberg calls fasting ʼdangerousʼ Inger Stoejberg received backlash after suggesting Muslims spend the month of Ramadan away from work.

Experts and businesses fired back that there was no evidence of fasting affecting work safety. Denmarkʼs Immigration and Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg has stirred controversy after claiming late on Monday that the celebration of Ramadan was incompatible with the modern labor market.

The minister, who has a reputation for hardline immigration policies, wrote a blog post for the Danish tabloid BT that the month-long Muslim celebration, which includes fasting during daylight hours, was "dangerous for us all." Questioned the idea of "commanding observance to a 1,400-yearold pillar of Islam."Suggested that, if Muslims were going to fast, they should take a month off from work "to avoid negative consequences for the rest of Danish society."

Hundreds of Reichsbürger, extremists lose weapons permits As sympathisers reach out across social media and messaging services, the number of Reichsbürger supporters appears to have grown to 18,000. A number of them hold weapons but 450 have lost their permits. The German Interior Ministry on Tuesday said that approximately 1,200 Reichsbürger and 750 right-wing extremists currently have a permit for one or more weapons.

The revelation came as part of its response to a parliamentary question from the Green party on the dangers of right-wing terrorist structures and right-wing militancy in Germany, as the Greens had expressed concern over an increase in the number of acts of violence perpetrated by rightwing extremists.

How supermodel Heidi Klum built a multi-million business empire As this season of Germanyʼs Next Topmodel comes to a close, we look at how Heidi Klumʼs impressive career has allowed the German-born supermodel to become a global star and powerful businesswoman.

Working both in her home country and in the US, Heidi Klum is one of the worldʼs most successful celebrities.

Her impressive career as a model has allowed her to venture into lucrative business and entertainment projects, and she shows no signs of slowing down at age 44. "There arenʼt many world stars

coming from Germany with that level of fame. Itʼs Angela Merkel and Heidi," Thomas Hayo, a fashion photographer and one of Klumʼs judges on Germanyʼs Next Topmodel (GNTM), told Forbes magazine last year. Since 2006, millions of mainly young female viewers have been watching Heidi Klum host Germanyʼs Next Topmodel on commercial TV channel ProSieben. The reality TV show is based on the original Ameri‐ caʼs Next Top Model, which her friend and fellow model, Tyra Banks, started in New York City in 2004.

German university hospital defends auto firmsʼ nitrogen dioxide test ethics No experiments on animals or humans can take place in Germany without a go from an authorized ethics committee. Dr. Thomas Kraus from Aachen University Hospital says this was the case in the most recent NO2 scandal.

The European Research Group on Environment and Health in the Transport Sector (EUGT) "did not impinge in any way on the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) research it commissioned Aachen University Hospital to do," Professor Thomas Kraus from the

hospital told the German press agency DPA on Monday. The EUGT is a now defunct organization that was funded

by German carmakers Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW plus partsmaker Bosch, thus raising questions of possible conflicts of interest. In 2013, 25 healthy volunteers were exposed to NO2 pollution for three hours, Kraus said. "None of them had any negative health effects," he went on, adding that the tests were meant to measure the impact of pollutants in the workplace.

Former Taiwan president gets jail time for information leak Taiwanʼs High Court has overturned a previous not-guilty verdict and charged former Taiwanese President Ma Yingjeou. Ma plans to appeal his sentence but can also avoid prison by paying a fine of €3,370. Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou was sentenced to four months in prison on Tuesday for leaking classified information. Taiwanʼs High Court found that "Ma Yingjeou violated the Communication and Surveillance Act," when he leaked information relating to national security and opposition lawmaker Ker Chienming, which should have been confidential. Ma told local media he planned to appeal the High Court sentence, but he could also skip prison if he pays a fine of T$120,000 ($4,020, €3,370), the court said. A former stalwart of major opposition party Kuomintang of China, Ma was Taiwanʼs president from 2008 to 2016 and encouraged closer ties with China. He also served as the justice minister and mayor of Taipei.

Helmut Kohl widow denied inheritance of posthumous compensation The former German chancellor had won a lawsuit against his ghostwriter, but passed away before the payments were settled. A court has now ruled that Maike Kohl-Richter may not inherit her husbandʼs compensation.

The high regional court in Cologne ruled Tuesday that Maike KohlRichter was not entitled to receive €1 million ($1.1 million) in damages awarded to her husband, the lateformer German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, shortly before his death. The compensation, which was not settled until after Kohlʼs passing, represented the largest sum ever won in a private lawsuit in Germany. The court concluded that damages-related compensation cannot be inherited. Such payments can only be awarded to the plaintiff directly, while that person is alive. Kohlʼs widow will now have the opportunity to appeal the decision.

The compensationwas awardedto Helmut Kohl in April 2017, following alawsuit against his former ghostwriter, Heribert Schwan. The focus of the suit was Schwanʼsunauthorized biographytitled "Vermächtnis - die Kohl-Protokolle" (Legacy - The Kohl Transcripts).

Starbucks stores closing for anti-bias training Coffee chain Starbucks is closing 8,000 stores in the US for an antibias training session. The measure is meant to address the issue of unconscious racism in the workplace after the recent arrests of two black men.

Starbucks is closing 8,000 stores in the US for several hours on Tuesday to conduct anti-bias training in a bid to try to restore its tarnished image as a hangout where all are welcome.

Following the arrests of two black men in a store in Philadelphia last month, the coffee chainʼs leaders apologized, with the two men in question later settling with Starbucks for an undisclosed sum. In the incident in April, an employee called the

police, because the men, who had not made a purchase, refused to leave after they were denied use of the toilet.

The company has since announced that anyone can use its restrooms, even if theyʼre not buying anything.

The training for Starbuck store workers on Tuesday isdesigned to get people to open up about implicit biases and stereotypes in encountering people of another color, gender or identity.

How to prevent diabetes Itʼs a nasty disease, and it can lead to many others. But type 2 diabetes is totally preventable.

Being overweight can become very dangerous. If you weigh too much, your risk of diabetes is much higher than for people with healthier body masses. People who spend most of their day on the sofa eating chips, drinking sweetened beverages and hardly moving should hear the alarm bells. With such a lifestyle, developing type 2 diabetes, or "diabetes mellitus," becomes more or less inevitable. Ev-

eryone can be affected, and everyone can prevent it. Always move. This doesnʼt mean you have to train for the next marathon. Thirty to 60 minutes of daily exercise will actually help. You can easily include a great deal of it in your everyday life – and you wonʼt even suffer from aching muscles. For instance, instead of driving your car to work, take your bike or walk if possible. Itʼs a start. And (far too rarely done) take the stairs instead of the elevator. A small effort to great effect!

And once youʼve started, you might even enjoy it!

Rain eventually dampened the mood at Roland Garros but there was still plenty of action on day two in Paris.

Last yearʼs beaten finalist Stan Wawrinka slumped to defeat, while there were no surprises on the womenʼs side.

WTO rules against Airbus in subsidies row with Boeing The global trade body has found the EU is still ignoring requests to stop its illegal subsidies for Airbus, handing a victory to its US rival Boeing and paving the way for potentially billions in punitive tariffs.

In its ruling on Tuesday, the World Trade Organization (WTO) said the European Union had failed to remove support in the form of preferential government loans for AirbusʼsA380 superjumboand A350 twin-aisle jet programs, causing losses for Boeing and US aerospace workers. At the same time, however, the appellate division of WTOʼs Dispute Settlement Body dismissed a US claim that loans for Airbusʼs most popular models, the A320 and A330, were costing Boeing significant sales. The ruling was not subject to appeal, WTO said, potentially clearing the way for the US to seek billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs against European exports. But its decision on the A320 and A330 models is seen narrowing the scope of punitive tariffs in one of the worldʼs longest and costliest trade disputes.

MH370: Mystery of missing jet remains as four-year search ends A US company has ended its search of the Indian Ocean for the remains of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. It disappeared in March 2014, with 239 people on board, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Efforts to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 drew to a close in the remote Indian Ocean on Tuesday, after a private company, hired to extend the search, admitted it had found no trace of the aircraft. Texas-based Ocean Infinity said in a statement it had "searched and collected highquality data from over 112,000 square kilometers of ocean floor ... overcoming both challenging conditions and terrain," but without success. Oliver Plunkett, Ocean Infinityʼs chief executive, said the failure to find any sign of the plane was "extremely disappointing." In January, the firm signed a 90-day "no find, no fee" deal with the Malaysian government to resume the hunt for the missing aircraft, a year after the official search was called off. The contract, whichguaranteed Ocean Infinity $70 million (€61 million) if it found the wreckage or the black boxes, was extended twice.
