Far-right extremism is resurgent in Germany, in ways that are new and very old, horrifying a country that prides itself on dealing honestly with its murderous past. This month, a two-year parliamentary inquiry concluded that far-right networks had extensively penetrated German security services, including its elite special forces. But increasingly, the spotlight is turning on Germany’s police. | |

Some Georgia hospitals had received vaccine shipments for staff by Friday. Others, including health care facilities with many coronavirus cases, had not. Checking and reporting by the AJC found discrepancies, even in neighboring counties, and the state distribution formula doesn't appear to be based on facilities with the greatest need.
Tanner Health System, with 3,500 employees, is bursting with COVID-19 patients. For weeks it has been operating at full capacity, with some 55 patients needing admission Friday afternoon but waiting for beds. It has 61 COVID-19 patients being treated in units at its Carrollton, Villa Rica and Bremen hospitals.
But the not-for-profit system so far has received no doses of the new COVID-19 vaccine to protect its staff. Maybe next week a shipment would come, Tanner Chief Operating Officer Greg Schulenburg said his contacts with the Georgia Department of Public Health have told the hospitals.
Or it could be as late as the following week. They’re not sure.
Why not sooner? “That’s a good question,” Schulenburg said.
Nearby in Coweta County, the opposite situation prevails. In the same health district as Tanner, Cancer Treatment Centers of America’s hospital in Newnan said it had received every dose it needed to vaccinate all its employees. The for-profit cancer hospital listed just over 1,000 staff, including 148 administrators and support staff, in its latest filing with the state a year ago. | |

Together with an international team, Senckenberg scientist Uwe Fritz described a new species of mata mata turtle based on genetic analyses. Until now, it had been assumed that the genus Chelus only contained a single species. The new description also necessitates a reassessment of the conservation status of these species, which are frequently sold in the illegal animal trade. The study was recently published in the scientific journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. | |

A Washington state superior court judge issued a temporary restraining order Wednesday against the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) and myself to block the release of public records regarding the fatal September 3 shooting of Michael Forest Reinoehl by a law enforcement task force.
The judge granted a motion filed Tuesday by the Thurston County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) seeking to temporarily enjoin the Washington DOC from releasing records to me on Reinoehl, who was killed by a fugitive task force composed of U.S. marshals and several Washington law enforcement agencies, including the Washington DOC.
Reinoehl, a self-proclaimed anti-fascist, was charged with second-degree murder in the August 29 shooting death of Patriot Prayer supporter Aaron Danielson in Portland. Reinoehl had been wanted for five days when a federal fugitive task force caught up with him in Lacey, Washington. The circumstances surrounding Reinoehl's shooting remain unclear. Task force agents said Reinoehl either pointed a gun or was in the process of drawing a gun when he was shot. However, civilian eyewitnesses said the police didn't announce themselves before unleashing a barrage of gunfire that killed Reinoehl. None of the law enforcement officers in the task force were wearing body cameras. In the final weeks of the 2020 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump frequently bragged about the killing.
