England suffered World Cup heartbreak today in a controversial but crushing 4-1 defeat to old rivals Germany today.

Germany’s highest court today overturned a law allowing the state to keep information on phone calls and emails to help in tracking criminal networks.

GERMANY marked the 70th anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom, a prelude to the Holocaust, with solemn ceremonies throughout the country and celebrations of the rebirth of Jewish life in the country yesterday.
