Man kennt ihn als den kettenrauchenden Altkanzler aus Talkshows. Viele haben ihn auch im Portemonnaie, denn sein Konterfei ist auf der 2-Euro-Münze: Helmut Schmidt. Aber wer war dieser Schmidt, welche Rolle hat er als Bundeskanzler gespielt und was hat es mit seinem Familiengeheimnis auf sich?
In einem Interview mit Journalisten der NZZ äußert der ehemalige Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt Skepsis gegenüber dem Engagement Deutschlands in Afghanistan. Seiner Meinung nach hat das militärische Engagement in Afghanistan zu viele Jahre gedauert, ohne sich zu verbessern. Gleichzeitig nimmt die Feindschaft zwischen dem Islam und dem Westen zu. Vor dem Hintergrund, bis zum Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts mehr Muslime als so genannte "Weiße" zu erwarten, sollte dies laut Schmidt eine besorgniserregende Entwicklung sein.

James Comey became a globally known figure following his decision in 2016 to announce that the FBI was re-opening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information. Many argue it was this move which lost Clinton the election.
After Trump took office in 2017 Comey says the President sought to win over and influence him and his inquiry into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election. Comey says he refused, and he was later fired by Donald Trump - an event which sparked the appointment Special Counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into links with Russia.

The trade row between the E-U and the United States is in its full force as the European Commission says it will begin charging 25 percent import duties on a range of American products. The E-U formally adopted a law to put in place the duties on 3-point-two billion dollars worth of U-S goods including steel, aluminum and farm products from Friday. The move is in response to the U-S tariffs imposed on E-U metal exports. The U-S president hit the E-U, Canada and Mexico with 25 percent levies on steels and 10 percent on aluminum at the beginning of June. Mexico retaliated against the move two weeks ago while Canada said it would place tariffs on U-S exports from July the first.
Mehdi Hasan is here to warn you about a growing threat to the laws and values of the United States from a group of religious extremists and fanatics.
No, he's not talking about so-called jihadists or Islamists, or to “creeping Sharia.” Mehdi is referring to what he like to call the “Christian Taliban” — those Bible-thumping fundamentalists who are bent on theocratizing the U.S. government.
There's the attorney general of the United States, Mullah Jeff Sessions, who wants Sharia law, but of the biblical variety. And there's Mullah Ted Cruz, who calls himself a Christian first and an American second.
As in the Middle East, to really politicize religion, you need a bunch of politicized clerics. Caliph Donald Trump can call on some of America’s finest to make the case for Christian supremacism.
Mullah Robert Jeffress said God gave Trump the authority to “take out” Kim Jong-un. Mullah Jim Bakker says we have to “obey” Trump because God “had him elected.”

So, how will this decision impact the global fight to protect human rights? And will this further isolate the U.S. on the world Stage?
