Two Supreme Court rulings will impact critical Trump Administration deportation cases. First, the court allowed the White House to continue using the Alien Enemies Act, which gives them sweeping wartime authority to rapidly deport alleged gang members. In a second case, the Court extended a deadline for returning Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a Venezuelan prison back to the US.  Gregg Nunziata, a veteran of the conservative legal movement, joins the show to discuss the implications of these rulings.  Also on today's show: Jan Egeland, Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Dr. Tom Frieden, Former Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  Learn more about your ad choices.

The head of humanitarian NGO the Norwegian Refugee Council is accusing the international community of turning its back on the Afghan people since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Jan Egeland is just back from a long visit to the country, where he focused particularly on the thousands of Afghans who are being sent back to Afghanistan every day from neighbouring Iran and Pakistan. He says both countries claim they can no longer continue to host Afghan communities after decades of support. But Egeland says those returning are facing a life of abandonment. He spoke to us in Perspective.

After Donald Trump's stunning comeback, Christiane Amanpour explores the global implications of Trump's second term in the White House. She speaks with former U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland on Trump's likely approach to governing without constraint, favoring mass deportations and tariffs. Finland's President Alexander Stubb joins Christiane to discuss how Europe is viewing what Trump's election will mean for NATO support and U.S. alliances around the globe, and Europe's need to take more responsibility for defense and funding. Former Biden official Rush Doshi offers insight into how China views Trump's return amid intensifying U.S.-China rivalry, while Ukraine's ex-Defense Minister Andriy Zagorodnyuk discusses how Kyiv views Trump's promise to end the war in Ukraine on day one. Then, marking 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Christiane revisits her conversation with Mikhail Gorbachev from 1999, reflecting on today's global challenges to democracy. Finally, Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council provides an on-the-ground account of the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council

In the end, it wasn't even close. Pollsters told us for months that it was a coin toss, that it could take days to count – before Donald Trump took most of the swing states and the popular vote in a single night. It was a near clean sweep for Republicans, taking back control of the Senate, and with the possibility remaining that they could hold on to the House. With all that plus a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, analysts and party stalwarts say President-elect Trump can now govern unconstrained. His agenda, as stated, includes mass deportations, deregulation, massive new tariffs on all foreign-made goods, and peace through strength abroad – though allies fear a more isolationist America. To react to all this, Christiane speaks with Trump's former ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, who was a supporter of his re-election bid.  Also on today's show: Evelyn Farkas, Executive Director, The McCain Institute; Jan Egeland, Secretary-General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Astead Herndon, National politics reporter, The New York Times  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mandag 7. oktober har Palestina-aktivstene mobilisert og skal holde demonstrasjon foran UD. De har konfiskert dagen for den verste massakre mot jøder siden Holocaust. Men i den offisielle jargongen er denne angrepet devaluert gjennom Israels krig. Det er forvalterne av de riktige meningene som definerer spillets regler og Israel er en regelbryter. Jan Egeland, Barth Eide, Sidsel Wold, Wolasmal er enige om det. De lurer på hvem som skal sette Israel på plass. De har gitt opp USA. Kanskje Iran? Deres moralske kompass slår ikke ut når Ali Khamenei sier at Israel lever på tilmålt tid. Vi er vitne til noe historisk.. Vesten er ved å miste seg selv. I både Europa og USA utspiller det seg et drama som savner forfattere i dette landet.

Since 2019, Burkina Faso has been in a state of near-constant conflict. Extremist groups control or occupy large swaths of the country—about 40-50% according to some estimates. Meanwhile, the government is extremely unstable and has been toppled by a succession of military coups. The military government in power today is generally hostile to the same Western powers that have historically supported the people of Burkina Faso with humanitarian and development assistance. My guest today, Jan Egeland, is the president of the Norwegian Refugee Council, a large international humanitarian NGO. Each year, the NRC publishes a list of what it considers the most neglected humanitarian emergencies on the planet, and this year, the crisis in Burkina Faso tops the list. Jan Egeland recently returned from Burkina Faso, and in our conversation, he explains why the humanitarian crisis there is so challenging and what can be done to make Burkina Faso less neglected by the international community.    

As we sat down to record the episode, Vladimir Putin was being feted in Pyongyang by Kim Jong Un. The two had just signed a security pact revived from the Cold War era, signaling an ever-closer alliance and marking the death knell of nearly 20 years of North Korea nuclear diplomacy at the Security Council. Meanwhile, over the last ten days we've seen the first meaningful progress at the Security Council on the two worst crises in the world: Gaza and Sudan. We discuss what lead to a near-unanimous Security Council resolutions on a Gaza ceasefire proposal and a Sudan resolution aimed at stopping an attack on a major city in Darfur. We discuss whether or not these resolutions can push the warring parties to a cessation of hostilities and what to make of a rather awkward (and heated!) encounter between the Sudanese and Emirati ambassadors to the UN.We wrap up with conversation about Martin Griffiths, the top UN humanitarian official who is leaving his post at the end of the month. We discuss why the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs is arguably the second most important position at the UN behind the Secretary-General, who might replace him—and why this position has always gone to a British diplomat in recent years. The last non-Brit to hold this post, Jan Egeland, joins us to offer his advice for the incoming top UN humanitarian official.Also discussed:* Why a new UN report on children and armed conflict has exacerbated already deteriorating relations between Antonio Guterres and the Israeli ambassador the UN.* Why Malta's UN ambassador Vanessa Frazier's stock is rising around the UN.* Is Jan Egeland the ultimate United Nations Superhero Man?Support this new show with your paid subscription. https://www.globaldispatches.org/SaveUs This is a public episode.

This is a special preview of the Inside Geneva podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.   Recently UNWRA, the UN's refugee agency for Palestinians, has been facing scrutiny of what exactly their role is in the current Israel-Hamas conflict. Many people around the world hadn't heard of UNRWA before this conflict - so what is it exactly, why was it founded, and does it need to continue? Journalist Imogen Foulkes takes a deep dive, talking to UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, Israeli diplomat Nina Ben-Ami, Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Louis Charbonneau of Human Rights Watch. Inside Geneva is produced by Swissinfo,  a multilingual public service media based in Switzerland.  

Norwegian Refugee Council head Jan Egeland tells Tim Sebastian that the devastation in Gaza is already unprecedented and an Israeli military operation against Rafah would be a "bloodbath."

Norwegian Refugee Council head Jan Egeland says the devastation in Gaza is already unprecedented and an Israeli military operation against Rafah would be a “bloodbath.”

Gazassa yli viisi kuukautta jatkunut sota on ajanut siviilit nälänhädän partaalle. Avustusjärjestöjen mukaan Israel tarkoituksellisesti vaikeuttaisi avun perillemenoa. Avustusrekkoja pääsi helmikuussa Gazaan keskimäärin sata päivässä, kun tarve olisi 500–600 rekalle. Maailmanpolitiikan arkipäivää -ohjelmassa kysytään humanitaarisen avustustyön asiantuntijoilta, miten onnistuu avustustyö politisoituneissa konflikteissa. Norjalaisen Norwegian Refugee Council -avustusjärjestön johtaja Jan Egeland arvostelee Suomea ja Ruotsia YK:n alaisen palestiinalaispakolaisten avustusjärjestön UNRWA:n rahoittamisen keskeyttämisestä. Hänestä Suomi ja Ruotsi peesasivat päätöksessä Yhdysvaltoja ja uskoivat kritiikittä Israelia. Israelin mukaan UNRWA:n työntekijöistä 12 olisi osallistunut Hamasin lokakuiseen terrorihyökkäykseen. Suomi päätti maaliskuussa, että meneillään olevista selvityksistä on saatu riittävästi tietoa tuen jatkamiseksi. Ohjelman on toimittanut Paula Vilén. Äänitarkkailijana on Juha Hjelm.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council. He's just back from Gaza; before that, he was on the Chad/Sudan border. Hundreds of thousands of people are in life threatening danger. Is the international community failing to protect the most vulnerable?

Israel has accused the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) of being involved in the October 7th attacks. “October 7th was a gamechanger. Because the involvement, direct involvement, of those 13 UNRWA employees in the October 7th attacks on Israel changed everything,” said Nina Ben-Ami, Head of Bureau, International Organizations and UN Division, Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Inside Geneva looks at what's at stake.  UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini says: “Today the needs are absolutely staggering in the Gaza Strip."UNRWA has fired the employees under suspicion, but its major donors have cut funding, even before the formal UN investigation into Israel's allegations is completed. UNRWA has 13,000 staff in Gaza, providing schools and clinics.  “Even if the allegations are true, that's no justification for cutting off funding for the most important aid and relief agency in the Gaza Strip,” says Louis Charbonneau, UN Director at Human Rights Watch. Can other aid agencies step up if UNRWA has to stop? Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council: “All of the non-governmental organisations, all of the Red Cross, Red Crescent organisations, all of the UN agencies combined, we're not even half of what UNRWA is for Gazan society.” Where does this leave the 1.5 million Gazans now crammed into Rafah? Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, explains that “Israel is thinking of going in with a bloody ground offensive. We would hold the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and all of these other countries providing the arms to this…we will hold them accountable for what is going to happen in Rafah.”“UNRWA remains the only lifeline in a region full of despair. A region which now deserves that we collectively look at promoting a proper genuine peaceful political solution,” concludes Lazzarini.  Join host Imogen Foulkes on our Inside Geneva podcast to learn more about the allegations and possible outcomes for UNRWA.   Get in touch!

There are major disagreements about a possible agreement for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The death toll in Gaza is fast approaching 30,000. And the U.N. warns of a looming famine as the World Food Program says it's suspended its aid deliveries amid a "collapse of civil order." Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, a major humanitarian organization, is in Gaza for the first time since the October 7th Hamas slaughter of Israelis.

In the 110 days since the war started, over 25,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's offensive on Gaza, prompting the charity Oxfam to describe it as the ‘deadliest conflict of the 21st century'. It follows the October 7 attacks by Hamas that saw 1,200 people killed and around 240 taken hostage in Israel. There is huge pressure internationally for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas. In this episode of The Fourcast we speak with Jan Egeland, a former diplomat who helped draw up the 1993 peace agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Oslo Accords. Egeland, who is now the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy that the scale of civilian carnage in Gaza makes it clear that this is not a conflict between equals. He also looks at the ‘hypocritical' position of many Western governments who have been quick to call out Russia's aggression on Ukraine but are not doing the same with Israel's attacks on Palestine, and looks at how the conflict could worsen going forward if a two-state solution is not reached.

Inside Geneva is marking its 100th podcast episode this week. In this episode host Imogen Foulkes looks back at some of the podcast highlights.This episode starts with an assessment of how humanitarians coped with the war in Syria. Jan Egeland, former head of the United Nations humanitarian taskforce for Syria says: "Syria was a real setback where these besiegements, the bombing of hospitals, the bombing of schools, the bombing of bread lines, it was horrific."Inside Geneva also looks at the lively debate about whether humanitarian aid needs to be decolonised. "If we were to think of aid as a form of reparation, as a form of social justice for historical and continuing harm," says Lata Narayanaswamy, from the University of Leeds.And it delves into the complex discussions over ‘killer robots'. Mary Wareham, from the Human Rights Watch adds: "Do you hold the commander responsible who activated the weapons system? There's what we call an accountability gap when it comes to killer robots."And we ask whether human rights investigations can really bring accountability. Chris Sidoti, from the UN Independent Fact Finding Mission on Myanmar, told Imogen Foulkes: "I still know that the Myanmar butchers who are responsible for what happened may never individually be brought to justice. But I certainly live in hope that one day they will." Help us celebrate our 100th podcast – and let us know what topics you'd like to hear more about. Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy.

President Biden today marked one year since the death of Mahsa Amini, who died after being manhandled by Iran's “morality police” for not wearing her hijab properly. Many protesters hoped for the downfall of the regime in the wake of her death, but the ayatollahs have survived, and the regime is rounding up activists and journalists, hoping to pre-empt any new demonstrations. Mahnaz Afkhami was minister of women's affairs in Iran's government before the 1979 Islamic revolution, and she joins the show to explain why she believes that, despite the regime's brutal crackdown, change is underway inside Iran.  Also on today's show: correspondent Jomana Karadsheh reports from Libya; Norwegian Refugee Council's Jan Egeland; Catherine Fieschi, Director, Open Society Foundations Europe and Central Asia To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Una caravana de migrantes de diversas nacionalidades partió el 23 de abril desde el sureño estado mexicano de Chiapas rumbo a Ciudad de México, en protesta por el incendio que el 27 de marzo pasado dejó 40 muertos en Ciudad Juárez. El grupo está conformado principalmente por migrantes de Centroamérica, Venezuela, Colombia y Haití. En tan solo 24 horas, el número de participantes incrementó a más de 3.000 en la caravana de migrantes que el domingo pasado salió de Chiapas rumbo a Ciudad de México, en protesta por el incendio que dejó 40 muertos en Ciudad Juárez el pasado 27 de marzo. Una iniciativa apoyada por la organización Pueblo Sin Fronteras, que exige al gobierno mexicano el tránsito libre por el país y la desaparición del Instituto Nacional de Migración. “Persecución en contra de la comunidad migrante” “Comenzamos más o menos con unas 2.000 personas, pero se fueron uniendo en el camino y tenemos aproximadamente 3.000. La marcha fue por las 40 personas que murieron [en Ciudad Juárez], pero también es un evento que hacemos anual para visibilizar la situación de la comunidad migrante”, comenta el activista Irineo Mujica. “De alguna manera estamos denunciando la falta de compromiso para poder cambiar esta política, la persecución en contra de la comunidad migrante, y la militarización del Instituto Nacional de Migración”, recalca. En cuanto al Instituto Nacional de Migración, Mujica indica que “ha sido uno de los de los órganos más corruptos e incluso el mismo gobierno ha dicho que quiere reformarlo. Pero no se puede reformar algo que está completamente corrompido y que, aparte de todo, lo volvieron letal cuando lo militarizaron. Entonces es por esa razón que nosotros estamos pidiendo, no su reforma ni cambio de nombre, sino que realmente desaparezca”. “Cruzar hasta los Estados” Aunque la intención de Mujica es llegar a Ciudad de México de aquí a 10 días, varios migrantes comentaron que buscan arribar a la frontera con Estados Unidos. Es el caso del hondureño Glender, procedente de la ciudad de San Luis: “Estoy con mi esposa y mi hija, no hemos comido nada bien en el cruce, pero ahí vamos, haciendo el esfuerzo. Allí yo quiero trabajar porque en mi país no hay trabajo, hay sólo maldad. Los mareros sacaron el trabajo del país, mataron a un familiar”, cuenta el hombre. La situaciٕón en Centroamérica es muy problemática, según Jan Egeland, secretario general del Consejo Noruego para los Refugiados: “En verdad son millones de personas en gran crisis humanitaria y la mayoría de ellos están afectados directamente o indirectamente por niveles de violencia como en una guerra. Hay masacres, hay asesinatos por todas partes. Yo me encontré con familias escondidas porque están en peligro de muerte, amenazadas por los grupos armados, narcotraficantes. Hay grupos criminales internacionales y nacionales que están buscándolas. Es increíble verdaderamente lo que está pasando”. En Estados Unidos, Glender no tiene familiares: “No tengo ayuda de nadie, de nadie. No tengo ayuda de nadie. Yo voy solo con mi familia, mi esposa y mi hija”, dice. Según organizaciones civiles mexicanas, 2022 fue el año más trágico para los migrantes en México, pues unos 900 murieron en el intento de cruzar sin documentos desde ese país hacia Estados Unidos.

In this episode of Inside Geneva we take a long hard look at how aid is delivered, and why it is often obstructed. Did UN aid agencies fail Syria after the earthquake?Marco Sassoli from Geneva University speaking to Inside Geneva says: "The UN being a club it represents its members, and therefore it considers that it cannot do anything on the territory of a member state without the consent of the member state."But are there ways to get aid in immediately?Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council says he is "a fundamentalist on the need to go straight to the victims, the people in need cross border cross line, cross mountain, cross desert, the shortest route."But with armed groups on the ground, how do aid workers persuade them to let them in?Thaer Allaw, from the Center for Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation explains this difficulty: "We think that we have a good cause, and we think that those humanitarian principles are universal. And then when you hit the reality they are not."Please try out our French Podcast: the Dangerous MillionsGet in touch!

The humanitarian sector is facing challenging crises all over the globe. Host Jamie McGoldrick speaks with Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, about the difficulty in responding and adapting to these crises. They discuss the political and climate obstacles humanitarian aid is dealing with, and they talk about working with donors to get support.

A political scandal is brewing over the discovery of classified documents at President Biden's Delaware home and former office, dating back to his time as vice president. A special counsel has been appointed to investigate, and Republicans are using the opportunity to slam Democrats as hypocrites. The president was highly critical of Donald Trump when classified documents were found at his Mar-a-Lago home last year. There are some key differences though: Trump had refused to return the files, even after being subpoenaed, while Joe Biden's lawyers turned the materials over voluntarily and the White House has promised to cooperate fully. But it's still a political headache for the president. To explain the legal implications and more, former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig joins the show.  Also on today's show: California Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis; Jan Egeland, Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Dr. Francesca Beaudoin, Director, The Long Covid Initiative at Brown University. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

President Biden was in Kentucky today, touting last year's massive infrastructure bill alongside Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. It's that kind of bipartisanship that's necessary to support the defense of democracy in Ukraine, whose foreign minister said today that preparations are underway to receive America's Patriot air defense systems. This after Washington pledged another $45 billion in emergency assistance over the holidays. Every day that aid becomes more critical, as President Zelensky says Russia is digging in for the long haul – including with the bombing of cities and crucial infrastructure. John Sullivan is deeply familiar with the dynamics at play: for almost three years, he served as America's Ambassador to Russia, and was there as Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine.  Also on today's show: An Afghan aid worker with Women for Women International; Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council; Beverly Gage, author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

UN agencies and other non-governmental organisations have been told they can no longer employ female staff. Already, some NGOs like the Norwegian Council Refugee have decided to shut down all their operations. Its secretary-general, Jan Egeland, tells us why. Also in the programme, China announces they'll no longer publish daily case numbers; and the Newshour Christmas Quiz: Tim Franks along with several razor-minded, quick-tongued colleagues will be submitting themselves to the annual brain exercise.

Two million refugees have reportedly fled Ukraine, half of them children. They're pouring across borders like Moldova's, where correspondent Ivan Watson files a report on their stories. Meanwhile, the independent Norwegian Refugee Council has announced plans to support 800,000 victims of the conflict both inside and outside Ukraine, and its secretary general Jan Egeland joins the show from Oslo. Russians are also looking for their relatives in Ukraine - but in this case, the soldiers whom Putin and his generals sent into battle, as correspondent Alex Marquardt reports.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Donnerstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Erstmals mehr als 50.000 Corona-Neuinfektionen Die Zahl der Corona-Neuinfektionen in Deutschland hat erstmals seit Beginn der Pandemie die Schwelle von 50.000 überschritten. Wie das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) mitteilte, wurden binnen 24 Stunden 50.196 neue Infektionen registriert. Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz erreichte mit 249,1 einen neuen Höchstwert. Der Bundestag wird sich an diesem Donnerstag mit einem Gesetzentwurf von SPD, Grünen und FDP zur Pandemie beschäftigen. Demnach soll die Corona-Notlage am 25. November auslaufen. Außerdem werden eine 3G-Regelung am Arbeitsplatz und die Wiedereinführung kostenloser Coronatests angestrebt. Millionen Kinder wurden 2020 nicht gegen Masern geimpft Millionen von Kindern haben im Jahr 2020 ihre Impfung gegen Masern verpasst. Das geht aus einem Bericht der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) und der US-Gesundheitsbehörde CDC hervor. Demnach wurden im ersten Jahr der Corona-Pandemie mehr als 22 Millionen Kinder nicht wie geplant gegen die Krankheit immunisiert. Das seien drei Millionen mehr als im Jahr 2019. Coronabedingt wurden in 23 Ländern Impfkampagnen abgesagt. Nach Schätzungen infizierten sich weltweit etwa 7,5 Millionen Menschen mit Masern. Weltweit wurden 2020 rund 60.000 Todesfälle durch Masern gemeldet. Merkel betont wegen Belarus-Krise Bedeutung von EU-Außengrenzschutz Kanzlerin Angela Merkel fordert eine humane Lösung des Flüchtlingsproblems an der Grenze zwischen Polen, Litauen und Lettland sowie Belarus. Man müsse dafür sorgen, dass es an der Grenze human zugehe, sagte sie vor Treffen mit den Regierungschefs von Portugal und Lettland, António Costa und Krisjanis Karins, in Schloss Meseberg. Das sei derzeit nicht der Fall. Andererseits sei es auch wichtig, die EU-Außengrenze zu schützen. Merkel dankte Polen, Lettland und Litauen für den Schutz der EU-Grenze. An der Grenze von Belarus zu Polen sitzen derzeit tausende Migranten bei eisigen Temperaturen fest. EU-Außenbeauftragter dringt auf Eingreiftruppe bis 2025 Der EU-Außenbeauftragte Josep Borrell strebt eine europäische Eingreiftruppe an, die bis 2025 bis zu 5000 Soldaten umfasst. Sie ist Teil eines "strategischen Kompasses", den Borrell den Botschaftern der 27 Mitgliedsländer vorlegte. Die EU-Außenminister sollen am Montag in Brüssel über das Konzept beraten. Je nach Bedarf sollen der Einheit neben Bodentruppen auch Luft- und Seestreitkräfte angehören. Ab 2023 soll es regelmäßige Militärübungen geben. Die neue Truppe soll nicht in Konkurrenz zur NATO treten. Der überstürzte Afghanistan-Abzug hatte der Debatte darüber neue Dringlichkeit verliehen. Tausende Afghanen täglich auf der Flucht in Iran Bis zu 5000 Afghanen fliehen derzeit jeden Tag vor den Taliban in den Iran. Diese Zahl nannte der Generalsekretär des Norwegischen Flüchtlingsrats, Jan Egeland, bei einem Besuch im Iran. Er rief die internationale Gemeinschaft auf, die Nachbarländer Afghanistans stärker zu unterstützen. Das UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk schätzt, dass rund 515.000 Afghanen bis zum Jahresende in Nachbarstaaten fliehen könnten. Dafür müssen laut Egeland fast 300 Millionen US-Dollar an Hilfen bereitgestellt werden. Den weiteren Angaben zufolge leben derzeit bereits rund 3,6 Millionen Afghanen allein im Iran. Deutscher Astronaut Matthias Maurer zur ISS gestartet Erstmals seit drei Jahren ist mit Matthias Maurer wieder ein deutscher Astronaut zur Internationalen Raumstation ISS aufgebrochen. Der 51-jährige Saarländer startete mit drei NASA-Kollegen mithilfe einer Falcon 9-Rakete an Bord eines Crew Dragon vom Weltraumbahnhof Cape Canaveral im US-Bundesstaat Florida. Der Start war zuvor mehrfach verschoben worden. Nach rund 22 Flugstunden sollen Maurer und seine NASA-Kollegen Thomas Marshburn, Raja Chari und Kayla Barron am Freitag an der ISS andocken. Maurer ist nun der zwölfte Deutsche im All und soll der vierte auf der ISS werden.
