If you want to understand the state of Germany in these last weeks of 2025, grasping the meaning of two entries in the German dictionary are essential: stadtbild and haftbefehl.

Polanski told the Guardian he was alarmed at the polling success for Reform UK, a party he described as on the far right, or at least far right-adjacent in terms of the causes and issues they're willing to align with.
