The Left, the Greens and the SPD are holding exploratory talks about a possible coalition in Berlin. At the same time, the DGINA reports on a survey on the situation in German emergency rooms. In addition, new documents on the death of Geli Raubal, Adolf Hitler's niece, are presented, which question Hitler's previous alibi.
Now it should finally be about content. Exploratory talks are underway between the Left, the Greens and the SPD. The three parties would like to govern the capital together - if it weren't for these allegations of anti-Semitism against some members of the left.
Leading Greens are therefore demanding today that the Left Party should separate itself from the anti-Semites in its own ranks. "There must be no coalition in which anti-Semites are involved," said Bundestag Vice President Omid Nouripour to SPIEGEL. “There cannot be a government that is in any way dependent on anti-Semites, criminals or terrorist supporters or was elected with their votes.” A swipe at Koçak.
2. Overloaded emergency rooms
Do you also know the stories of hours-long waits in the emergency room that people tell on the sidelines of soccer practice or over dinner with friends? Well, in this case the perceived truth is unfortunately the real one. According to a survey by the German Society for Emergency Medicine (DGINA), almost every second emergency room in Germany is overloaded. In some cases, patient safety is even endangered.
For its analysis, DGINA surveyed emergency departments in all federal states about their situation on June 2, 2026. 45 percent of the facilities reported that they were overcrowded and overloaded that day. The reasons for this are not surprising: among other things, there is a lack of free beds in other wards and a lack of staff.
How bad the mood is among the emergency physicians in the clinics can be seen from the free comments in the survey. For example, it says: "The emergency room is under chronic strain." The strain has increased significantly in the past two years. "It's no fun anymore and everyone is tired."
3. But no alibi?
Angelika Raubal, known as Geli, was Adolf Hitler's niece. There have always been rumors about the relationship between her and her uncle; some suspected a love affair between Hitler and his half-sister's daughter. Historians are particularly interested in Raubal because she was found dead in Hitler's Munich apartment in September 1931.
Raubal initially studied medicine in Munich, but then began singing training, which Hitler financed. He obviously had a lot of control over Raubal's everyday life. According to the established story, on September 18, 1931, there was an argument between her and Hitler about her travel plans; Raubal probably wanted to continue her training in Vienna.
When Hitler had already left Munich for Nuremberg, Raubal shot himself with one of her uncle's pistols, according to the police report. Her body was only discovered the next morning.
But previously unknown documents available to SPIEGEL call this representation into question. The historical researcher Harald Sandner found the documents in the state archives and the city archives in Munich. Two obituaries and an entry in the death register of the Munich II registry office date the discovery of Geli Raubal's body to Friday, September 18, 1931, at 10:15 a.m.
Accordingly, Raubal would have been found around 24 hours earlier. And Hitler would no longer have an alibi for the morning of September 18th. Because at that time the NSDAP leader was probably still in Munich.
What does that mean? “The discovery turns the previous chronology of the case on its head,” says Felix Bohr from the history department. "It forces researchers to re-examine the investigations carried out at the time."

Fear of the dark: The actor Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, 34, “usually sleeps with a little light on” in hotels and he “just makes sure there’s no mirror right in front of the bed.” He told this in the podcast “With a Woman’s Waffles”. As a child, he woke up at night in the hotel and saw a little girl in front of the mirror. Maybe he was dreaming, but it was very real for him, says Ochsenknecht. "I screamed very loudly and really panicked."

US President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly that a solution to the Iran conflict would be possible after the congressional elections on November 3rd. He threatened to send Iran “to hell,” citing previous joint attacks with Israel.

After the CDU's poor election results in Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin, representatives of the black-red coalition met in the evening to discuss their reform course. The focus is on pension and care policy, with the SPD calling for changes to the planned reforms. No concrete decisions are expected.

According to an analysis by the exiled Russian media Novaya Gazeta Yevropa, the ruling party United Russia would only have received around 34 percent of the votes in the most recent Duma election without fraud instead of the officially stated 58 percent. Physicist Sergei Shpilkin's method is based on the assumption that there is no fraud in most polling stations and uses official results to estimate the extent of manipulation.

Donald Trump is trying to ideologically redesign the Kennedy Center in Washington. The dispute over renovations, the name of the house and the removal of international artworks reflects the MAGA movement's attempt to redefine cultural institutions.
After the AfD's election successes, the Kremlin is open to talks with the party. Spokesman Dmitrij Peskov praised the AfD's position on Russia and criticized Chancellor Friedrich Merz as confrontational.

After the historic election result of 12.1 percent for the Berlin SPD, parliamentary group leader Raed Saleh is calling for personnel consequences. He criticizes the party's loss of trust and calls for a realignment in terms of content instead of moving on to the agenda.
