Podcast appearances and mentions of Karl A Racine

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Mittwoch – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Deutschland hat zu wenig Corona-Impfstoffe Bundesgesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach hat bestätigt, dass im ersten Quartal 2022 ein Mangel an Corona-Impfstoff droht. "In der Tat, wir haben zu wenig Impfstoff. Das hat viele überrascht - mich auch", sagte Lauterbach in der ARD. Er arbeite bereits an einer Lösung, erklärte er weiter. Schon zuvor hatte Lauterbach in einer Sitzung der Gesundheitsminister von Bund und Ländern deutlich gemacht, dass die Impfstoff-Mengen nicht ausreichten, um die Booster-Impfkampagne zu fahren. Dies gelte für das gesamte erste Quartal. Mehr als 800.000 Corona-Tote in den USA In den USA sind seit Beginn der Corona-Pandemie mehr als 800.000 Menschen im Zusammenhang mit einer COVID-19-Infektion gestorben. Das geht aus den Zahlen der Johns Hopkins University hervor. Kein Land hat mehr Corona-Tote registriert als die Vereinigten Staaten, in denen rund 330 Millionen Menschen leben. US-Präsident Joe Biden sprach von einem "tragischen Meilenstein" und drückte den Angehörigen der Verstorbenen sein Beileid aus. Gleichzeitig appellierte er an die Amerikaner, sich impfen zu lassen. Die USA befinden sich derzeit in der fünften Corona-Welle und verzeichnen durchschnittlich 1150 COVID-19-Todesfälle pro Tag. US-Repräsentantenhaus stimmt für Anklage gegen Trumps Ex-Stabschef Das US-Repräsentantenhaus hat den Weg für eine Anklage gegen den ehemaligen Stabschef von Ex-Präsident Donald Trump freigemacht. Mit den Stimmen der demokratischen Mehrheit wurde der Fall an den zuständigen Bundesstaatsanwalt verwiesen. Dieser muss nun entscheiden, ob er Mark Meadows wegen "versuchter Behinderung einer Untersuchung des Kongresses" anklagt. Hintergrund ist die Weigerung Meadows, vor dem Untersuchungsausschuss zur Kapitol-Erstürmung vom 6. Januar auszusagen. Meadows gilt als Kronzeuge für Trumps Rolle bei den Bemühungen, die Wahl seines Nachfolgers Joe Biden zu verhindern. Washington verklagt rechte Milizen Wegen der Erstürmung des Kapitols am 6. Januar verklagt der US-Regierungsbezirk Washington DC die zwei ultrarechten Gruppen "Proud Boys" und "Oath Keepers". Der Generalstaatsanwalt von Washington, Karl A. Racine, wirft ihnen Verschwörung vor. Sie hätten den Angriff geplant, beworben und daran teilgenommen. Radikale Anhänger des damaligen Präsidenten Donald Trump hatten das Gebäude gestürmt, als dort der Sieg des Demokraten Joe Biden bei der Präsidentschaftswahl vom 3. November zertifiziert werden sollte. Bei dem Angriff wurden fünf Menschen getötet, unter ihnen ein Polizist. In Afghanistan ist die Not am größten Auf der Liste der 20 weltweit größten humanitären Krisen des "International Rescue Committees" (IRC) belegt Afghanistan den ersten Platz. Im kommenden Jahr könnte das Land fast flächendeckend von Armut betroffen sein, erklärte die internationale Hilfsorganisation in Berlin anlässlich der Veröffentlichung der "Emergency Watchlist". Auf Platz zwei der jährlich veröffentlichten Liste steht Äthiopien, gefolgt vom Jemen, Nigeria und dem Südsudan. Auch Myanmar, Syrien und Haiti zählen laut IRC zu den bedürftigsten Ländern. Nach UN-Angaben brauchen im Jahr 2022 insgesamt 274 Millionen Menschen Hilfe. NASA-Sonde berührt als erstes Raumschiff die Sonne Nach Angaben der US-Raumfahrtbehörde NASA ist ihre Sonde "Parker Solar Probe" durch die äußere Atmosphäre der Sonne geflogen. Damit ist sie das erste Raumschiff, das diesen Stern berührt hat. Die Sonde habe in der sogenannten Sonnenkorona Partikel und Magnetfelder untersucht, teilte die NASA mit. Die Raumfahrtbehörde sprach von einem "Meilenstein", der "tiefere Einsichten in die Entstehung der Sonne und ihren Einfluss auf das Sonnensystem liefern" werde. Dadurch erhofft man sich auch ein besseres Verständnis vom Rest des Universums. Weitere Flüge durch die Sonnenkorona seien geplant.
