NEWS SECTION - CONTENT

George Floyd: We wrote about this topic because we think that racism is an important issue, but most people neglect this topic, so we wanted to make people aware of it.

Back to school: We chose the topic, because the question if and how we can go back to school is very important at the moment.

A high profile visit to Germany: We wrote about this, because Pope Benedict is an important German person and it is very nice to see someone taking care of their family.

Corona Alert app: We chose this topic, because we think that this issue affects all of us and we also think that many people do not even know that this app exists.

Short News: We added these pieces of information because they are important for everyone and everybody should know about this.

8 Minutes and 46 Seconds: George Floyd is killed by Police

by Matheo & Philipp

On May 25 in Minneapolis, USA, a police officer arrested George Floyd, a 46-year old black man, after a supermarket employee had called the police and told them that George Floyed had bought cigarettes with a false 20-dollar bill. Seventeen minutes after the first police car arrived, George Floyd was dead. He suffocated after one of the policemen called Chauvin kneeled on his neck.

The following days

The next day, all four police officers who were involved were fired. Chauvin was charged with the murder of G. Floyd, and the other officers were also charged with "aiding and abetting" the murder. This means that they looked on and helped when George Floyd was murdered.

There were many demonstrations and protests after Floyd was murdered. They protestested against racism and police brutality. In Minneapolis, measures were introduced by police to reduce violence.

Back to school - opening schools before summer holidays?!?

by Matheo & Philipp

Since March schools have been closed in Germany because of the Corona pandemic. There was only homeschooling and digital learning for the kids, no more sitting in their classrooms with their friends. From the end of May, all classes should go to school, each class on another day and for only one day of the week.

Then, in the beginning of June, the politicians decided that from 15th June, all kids from the Elementary School must go to school for the last two weeks of the school year. Then, the summer holidays start for all of them. In contrast to that, the students from the higher classes still go to school for one day a week till the holidays start.

The plan of the politicians is that after the summer holidays everything should be more normal again. This is the hope of all: kids, teachers and parents. But nobody knows, what the virus will do in the future.
