Millions of people in Germany have to get by on very little money. The proportion has decreased slightly overall. However, things look different in the 65 plus generation.
The proportion of seniors with very little money has increased in the past year, especially among women. According to data from the Federal Statistical Office, a total of 18.1 percent of people aged 65 and over were at risk of poverty in 2023, 0.6 percentage points more than a year earlier. For women in this age group it was even 20.2 percent, 0.8 points more than in 2022.

Young people are particularly affected
Overall, this proportion fell slightly: 16.6 percent of the total population was considered at risk of poverty,

Putins Fifth Term: Tightening Grip On Russias Presidency
Russia’s President Putin Begins Fifth Term Amid Controversy
CNN —
Vladimir Putin has officially started his fifth term as the President of Russia in a meticulously planned inauguration ceremony, shaping the country in his own image since assuming office nearly twenty-five years ago.
Putin secured another six-year term in March, winning Russia’s highly controlled election by a vast majority, potentially extending his rule until his 77th birthday.
With most opposition figures either deceased, imprisoned, exiled, or disqualified from running, and dissent effectively banned in Russia since the Ukraine invasion in 2022, Putin faced no significant opposition.
International Response
The inauguration ceremony, held at the Kremlin, was attended by top Russian military and political leaders. However, the United States and several European countries chose not to send representatives, denouncing Russia’s elections as fraudulent.

Putin’s Long Reign
Putin’s initial inauguration in 2000 marked the first peaceful transfer of power in Russia’s history through an electoral process. In his address at the time,
