Bomb threat in Lübeck: Police evacuate Fraunhofer Institute!

A bomb threat caused a stir in Lübeck today. An anonymous phone call around 1 p.m. led to the Fraunhofer Institute having to be evacuated. Fortunately, the evacuation continued and no one was injured. Explosive detection dogs searched the building but have not yet found any suspicious objects. The police are still on duty to clarify the background to this threatening situation. NDR reports that the situation is currently under control.

Aside from the current threat situation, the SPD in Schleswig-Holstein is confronted with pressure from within the party. The base is demanding that state and faction leader Serpil Midyatli make a clear decision about the party leadership. With only 20 percent of the vote in the primary election, there are calls for resignation, particularly from prominent MP Sandra Odendahl. The uncertainty within the party could endanger the stability of the group.

Progress in energy policy

The FDP expressed sharp criticism of the slow expansion of photovoltaic systems in Schleswig-Holstein. The expansion is a central concern of the state government, which currently operates 72 plants and is planning 45 more. FDP parliamentary group leader Christopher Vogt calls for the initiative to be pushed forward and the strategy to be reconsidered in order not to endanger the energy transition.

The AI ​​chatbot “Telli”, which is being introduced in schools in Schleswig-Holstein, brings further progress in the school sector. Teachers can use AI to prepare their lessons more efficiently while the data is stored on EU servers. This innovative measure is also being viewed critically by experts such as the leading minds behind OpenAI and DeepMind. They warn of the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and rate the danger posed by AI as comparable to the threats posed by pandemics or nuclear wars. Efforts to reduce such risks should be a global priority, according to a statement. These concerns are compounded by its potential uses in warfare and the spread of misinformation. daily news highlights that a few weeks ago Elon Musk also called for a pause in AI development in order to find regulatory approaches.

Cultural events and sporting successes

There is currently a lot of anticipation in the cultural scene about the Children's and Young People's Book Weeks, which will feature 300 events in numerous schools and libraries across the country. 46 authors will read from their works until November 21st. This will once again be a celebration for all young bookworms and those who want to become one.

From a sporting point of view, the teams from Schleswig-Holstein didn't show any weakness either. The handball team THW Kiel celebrated an impressive victory against Bergischer HC with 43:35. SG Flensburg-Handewitt also won against HSV Hamburg, the game ended 33:29. In the 2nd Bundesliga, Holstein Kiel made another statement and beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 1-0.

A number of construction projects and infrastructural developments remain on the agenda. The A23 construction site is expected to be completed on Wednesday and preparations for further construction of the A20 are gaining momentum. The BUND reached an agreement with the Minister of Transport, whereby the lawsuit against the construction was withdrawn. It was also announced that a new Federal Transport Minister has opened the first construction phase of the Kiel Canal. The completion cost 130 million euros and the route was widened by 44 to 70 meters.
