Dans ce quartier verdoyant de l'ancien Berlin-Est se dresse l'imposant bâtiment gris où, dans la nuit du 8 mai 1945, les nazis ont officiellement capitulé face aux Alliés - parmi eux l'Union soviétique de Staline. L'édifice abrite l'impressionnante salle avec son parquet massif où l'acte fut signé, ainsi qu'une vaste exposition permanente, mise à jour en 2013, sur la guerre du front oriental.

Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz suffered a serious blow Tuesday when he failed to win a parliamentary majority in the first round of voting to become the next chancellor. Merz had expected to win a majority of at least 316 of the 630 votes in the lower house of parliament. But he won the backing of only 310 MPs, with 307 voting against him.

In absolute shock at this news. I had the pleasure of working with Arman a few years ago, he was such a talented and enthusiastic colleague and was doing such vital work. RIP.
