BERLIN — Bremen ist das kleinste Bundesland Deutschlands. In der vergangenen Wahl schafften es gerade mal fünf Abgeordnete aus zwei Wahlkreisen in den Bundestag. Beide Direktmandate konnte die SPD für sich gewinnen. Doch diesmal dürfte es eng werden. Die Grünen, FDP und die CDU stellen jeweils einen Abgeordneten. Die SPD Die Vize-Kanzleramtsministerin Sarah Ryglewski hat ihren Rückzug angekündigt — und gibt damit auch ihren Posten auf. Ryglewski entgeht dadurch einem möglichen Wahlverlust, sollte das Ergebnis sich (erwartungsgemäß) verschlechtern. Die Nachfolge ist ungeklärt. Der Seeheim-Dealmaker Uwe Schmidt macht jedoch weiter. Nach aktuellen Umfragewerten und wegen der Wahlrechtsreform könnte es so aussehen, dass die SPD selbst im Fall…

The federal government is due to respond to a parliamentary inquiry into online gambling. Last year the inquiry, led by the late Labor MP Peta Murphy, recommended phasing out gambling advertising over three years leading to a total ban. But there are reports the government will stop at a partial ban. This could take gambling off social media and stop ads from airing within an hour (before and after) sporting matches. How effective would a partial ban be? History shows it may not be enough. Advertising normalises gambling Advertising is one way industries normalise harmful commodities such as gambling. They…
