escalation: Cyclists should be given more space in road traffic, should be given special protection, in almost all cities. Bicycle lanes, for example, are one measure, special traffic regulations are another. On Schloßstrasse in Frankfurt-Bockenheim, for example, cyclists have not been allowed to be overtaken for some time for safety reasons; a new traffic sign signals this. From the start, many motorists had difficulties accepting this, and many cyclists reported feeling pressured. Recently, a dispute between a car driver and a cyclist at a traffic light escalated, with terrible consequences for the man on the bike. What that means, beyond this specific case, is explained by our colleague Thomas Maier.

They are bundled in a bundle with the unwieldy title Pesticide Reduction Plan. Oliver Bock reports and comments on what this is all about and how deep the gap is between political formulation and the everyday life of farmers and winegrowers.

The woman is said to have traveled to Syria with her two young sons in spring 2016 to meet her husband there, who is said to have left the country in 2014 and joined IS. The woman, who became radicalized at the age of 17, is accused of having also joined IS. In 2018 she was taken into custody by Kurdish militias and lived for a year in a refugee camp on the Syrian-Iraqi border. In November 2019, she and her children were brought back to Germany during a return campaign organized by the Federal Foreign Office. Kim Maurus reports on the first day of the trial.
