Like every evening, 11 p.m. takes a tour of the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s Eurozapping on Monday 24 January.
In Germany, a shooting killed at least two people in a university in Heidelberg. An 18-year-old student fired at several people before turning the gun on himself. A woman, shot in the head, succumbed to her injuries and three people remain in serious condition. “The attacker himself is deceased. So there is no more danger. But we keep searching the area“, explains Patrick Knapp, spokesperson for the Mannheim police. For the time being, no political or religious motivation has been discovered by the police.
Greeted by protests, the Taliban met with Western diplomats in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. In search of international recognition, it is above all aid that the new Afghan regime has come to seek while Afghanistan is sinking deeper into famine every day. “Coming to Norway and Norway giving us this opportunity is an achievement in itself because we shared this event with the whole world“, welcomed Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In Italy, it is the first day of voting for the presidential election. A warm-up lap for the 1000 or so electors because several parties have called for a blank vote. Moreover, no candidacy is necessary: Silvio Berlusconi has thrown in the towel and if the name of Mario Draghi is on everyone’s lips, his election would leave a big void at the head of the government. Some even mentioned a return of ex-president Mattarella. It may be necessary to wait until Thursday, January 27 to be fixed.
