Leading Germans slam 'chilling' plan to ban foreigners from Harvard
Two top German politicians have slammed plans by US President Donald Trump to block foreigners from studying at Harvard, with one - himself an alumnus of the elite university - saying it "sends out a chilling signal" and is "research policy suicide." "When the most important and highest performing universities are deliberately weakened, it is one of the most important pillars of the US economy that is being undermined," former German health minister and Harvard alumnus Karl Lauterbach, who now leads the country's parliamentary research committee, told Germany's Rheinische Post daily on Friday. Countless companies in the United States benefit from the knowledge that Harvard graduates bring with them, Lauterbach said, noting that "many foreign Harvard graduates stay in the United States after completing their studies." Lauterbach, who served as Germany's health minister until May 6, when a new government took over, has been a visiting lecturer at the Harvard School of Public Health since 1996, according to his CV on the German parliament's website. He was also enrolled in public health-related master programmes and a post-graduate programme at the university between 1989 and 1995, according to the CV. Lauterbach said he very much hoped that Trump's decision could still be reversed. "But even if that is possible, the attack on free teaching and research sends out a chilling signal." German Research Minister Dorothee Bär also expressed regret on Friday at the decision. "This saddens me very much. That's not a positive signal, neither for the young generation nor for the free world," Bär said, as she arrived at a meeting with her European Union counterparts in Brussels. "I very much hope that the US government will revoke this decision, because it really is fatal," she added. Administration cites anti-Semitism, extreme ideology Trump has accused Harvard and other elite US universities of pursuing a left-wing ideology and allowing anti-Semitism on campus. His administration sent a list of demands on April 11 to the institution, which Harvard has refused to adopt. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Thursday the administration was "holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, anti-Semitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus." She revoked the university's certification to receive foreign students and exchange visitors for what she said was "pro-terrorist conduct." This means that Harvard's international students would have to transfer to other universities or risk losing their legal status, Noem said in a statement. Earlier this year, the Trump administration froze more than $2 billion in federal grants and contracts at Harvard. Three-digit number of German students at Harvard The Foreign Office is aware of a three-digit number of German students currently studying at Harvard, a spokesman said in Berlin on Friday without elaborating. He announced prompt discussions with Washington regarding the impact that the proposed ban will have on the German students. The German government perceives this as an urgent matter and will express the expectation that their concerns and interests will be adequately considered, he said. Deputy German government spokesman Sebastian Hille said that free science is at the core of liberal societies. "Restrictions on academic freedom are restrictions on democracy itself," he said.

German health minister praises 'historic' WHO draft pandemic treaty
A new global pandemic treaty drafted by the World Health Organization (WHO) will help prevent the spread of deadly viruses such as the coronavirus in future, German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has said. "It is no exaggeration to describe this agreement as historic," Lauterbach said. Thanks to the agreement, forged early on Wednesday, he said information about viruses or other pathogens with pandemic potential will be shared more quickly in the future, enabling action to be taken sooner. "It simply increases the likelihood that a local outbreak will never become a pandemic if you have an agreement like this," the health minister said. Over 190 states agreed to the draft treaty, committing to strengthening global collaboration on prevention and responses to future pandemic threats. The WHO treaty is also designed to prevent chaotic conditions in the procurement of protective materials and the unfair distribution of vaccines - both points of criticism of the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Lauterbach expressed regret that the United States no longer participates in WHO negotiations and plans to leave the body in January under President Donald Trump. "Of course, all of this has been significantly weakened by the planned withdrawal of the United States," he said. The draft treaty will now be submitted to the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the WHO, in May for consideration. The treaty would be binding only in countries that choose to ratify it.

Four jailed over plot to stage coup and kidnap German minister
The three men and one woman, members of the self-styled "United Patriots" group, were sentenced to between five years and nine months and eight years' jail by the Koblenz higher regional court. It was one of several trials targeting the wider far-right movement whose members adhere to conspiratorial narratives and reject the legitimacy of the modern German state. Together they had hatched a plan to kidnap Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, a figure of scorn for many opponents of Covid-era restrictions, and to kill his bodyguards if they deemed it necessary. After the verdict, Lauterbach of the centre-left Social Democrats thanked "the police and the judiciary for solving and punishing the planned crime". The court heard that the four had joined forces by January 2022 with a plan to trigger civil war-like conditions in Germany through violence with the aim of taking over state power. Their plan had included a sabotage attack to disable the power grid in an operation they dubbed "Silent Night". Their hope was that in the ensuing chaos they would be joined by disgruntled members of the security forces. The defendants were associated with the Citizens of the Reich (Reichsbürger in German) whose adherents hold that the German Empire, which collapsed in 1918, continues to exist. Several other cases have been launched by courts in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart, some leading to convictions, and others ongoing. The eclectic movement of malcontents and gun enthusiasts was headed by a minor aristocrat and businessman, Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss. The alleged putschists are said to have taken inspiration from the global QAnon movement. The Koblenz court also found two of the main defendants guilty of weapons offences and one of planning a serious act of violence endangering the state. The three men were arrested in April 2022 and the woman in October of that year. The trial began in May 2023. A fifth defendant was sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison for being a member of the terrorist group and for also planning high treason. The defendants and their lawyers stand up as the judge enters the courtroom in Koblenz on the day of sentening in the coup and kidnap trial. Photo: picture alliance/dpa | Thomas Frey Last April, German prosecutors said they had charged a sixth suspect in the kidnap plot. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said "the investigations into this terrorist group have revealed an abyss. "The violent plans for a coup, for attacks on the electricity infrastructure, for the kidnapping of Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and for the killing of his bodyguards have shown an enormous threat." She said security services "take the threats posed by the Citizens of the Reich scene seriously and are acting accordingly. We are protecting our democracy."
