Shots were fired near the Israeli Consulate in Munich, and police suspect it was a terrorist attack. An 18-year-old Austrian with alleged ties to Islamist extremism was killed in a shootout with the police.

The incident is reminiscent of the 1972 Olympic attack. In other news, organized crime is causing significant financial damage, and cyberattacks on German seaports are increasing rapidly.

Meanwhile, French President Macron appointed the conservative Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister, despite a left-wing alliance winning the election. Barnier, a former EU Brexit negotiator, will face challenges in forming a majority government and managing the demands of various political factions.

In domestic politics, the leader of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, issued an ultimatum on refugee policy, which was criticized by the leader of the SPD parliamentary group, Rolf Mützenich. The Young Greens demanded the termination of the talks.

These headlines highlight the ongoing issues surrounding security, political alliances, and the shifting dynamics in both Germany and France.
