Weltnaturgipfel gibt Orientierung für Umsetzung der Ziele zum Schutz der globalen Biodiversität

Berlin (ots)

Am Samstagmorgen endete in Eriwan die globale Biodiversitätskonferenz nach zweiwöchigen Verhandlungen mit einigen wichtigen Vereinbarungen und ermutigenden Initiativen. Die 196 Vertragsparteien der UN-Biodiversitätskonvention haben beim Gipfel in Armenien ihr gemeinsames Engagement zur Umsetzung des Globalen Biodiversitätsrahmens von Kunming und Montreal bekräftigt und dazu aufgerufen, die Umsetzung des Rahmenwerks zu beschleunigen, insbesondere bei den Zielen mit den bisher geringsten Fortschritten. Basis für die Vereinbarungen war die im Vorfeld vorgelegte Zwischenbilanz zum Stand der Umsetzung des Abkommens.

Die erfassten Biodiversitätspläne zeigen, dass das Engagement auf dem Weg zum Schutz von 30 Prozent der Land- und Meeresflächen bis 2030, dem sogenannten 30×30-Ziel, nach wie vor groß ist. Dessen Umsetzung wird künftig auch durch den wichtigen Beschluss des Gipfels zur Anerkennung indigener und traditioneller Territorien als eigenständiges System zur Erreichung des 30×30-Ziels unterstützt.

Im Bereich der Finanzierung gab es wichtige Ankündigungen auf der Konferenz. Die dort erfolgte Finanzierungszusage der Niederlande für die "Tropical Forest Forever Facility" fördert das Momentum beim globalen Tropenwaldschutz. Die Aufstockung für eine Naturschutzpartnerschaft für wichtige Schutzgebiete in Afrika erreichte mit weiteren Mitteln der Bundesregierung und der KfW 390 Millionen US-Dollar. Und über die zu Beginn des Gipfels ausgerufene Allianz zur Rettung der am stärksten bedrohten Tier- und Pflanzenarten stellen neun Stiftungen über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren 500 Millionen US-Dollar zur Verfügung.

Eine weitere ermutigende Entwicklung aus Eriwan ist die nachdrückliche Forderung von Zentralbanken, multilateralen Entwicklungsbanken und Finanzministerien, die biologische Vielfalt als strukturelle Grundlage unserer Volkswirtschaften und der Finanzmarktstabilität zu betrachten. Die Finanzierung der biologischen Vielfalt dürfe nicht länger als Kostenfaktor, sondern müsse als Investition behandelt werden. Allerdings blieb beim Gipfel unklar, ob, wann und wie, der hierfür nötige und auf dem vorangegangenen Gipfel im Februar 2025 in Rom vereinbarte Dialog zwischen Umwelt- und Finanzministern nun eingerichtet wird. "Ein solcher Dialog ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, um Fortschritte bei Subventionsreformen, der Mobilisierung von Ressourcen und der Einbeziehung der biologischen Vielfalt in die Finanzpolitik zu erreichen", so Jan Peter Schemmel, Direktor Europa bei Campaign for Nature. Er ergänzt: "Aber damit er Wirkung entfaltet, braucht er eine Ergebnisorientierung und Kontinuität sichernde Strukturen."

Campaign for Nature fordert nun alle Vertragsparteien auf, den Beschlüssen des Weltnaturgipfels konkrete politische Maßnahmen folgen zu lassen. Insbesondere gelte es, die Umsetzung des 30x30 Ziels zu beschleunigen. Weitere Schwerpunkte müssten die Schließung der Lücke bei der Finanzierung des Erhalts der biologischen Vielfalt in Höhe von jährlich mehr als 700 Milliarden US-Dollar und die Aufstockung der Mittel für die Umsetzung des 30x30 Ziels sein. "Wenn wir in den reichen Ländern der Welt jährlich zehnmal mehr für Kaugummis ausgeben als wir für die Unterstützung ärmerer Staaten für die Umsetzung des 30x30 Ziels ausgeben müssten, kann man nicht glaubwürdig behaupten, es sei kein Geld da," illustriert Schemmel.

"Ein entscheidender Punkt für den Erhalt der globalen Natur ist eine ausreichende Finanzierung", so Schemmel weiter. "Aber durch einen entschlossenen Abbau umweltschädlicher Subventionen können wir dabei die Kosten für die Steuerzahlenden gering halten. Denn mit jedem Steuer-Euro, den wir weniger für die Vergünstigung von Naturzerstörung ausgeben, sinkt gleichzeitig der Finanzierungsbedarf für den Schutz und die Wiederherstellung der Natur." Eine auf dem Gipfel ins Leben gerufene Koalition von Staaten unter Führung von Finnland und Kolumbien wird die Umsetzung des Abbaus biodiversitätsschädlicher Subventionen vorantreiben.

Abschließend hält Schemmel aber fest: "In Summe hat der Weltnaturgipfel ein starkes Signal ausgesendet, dass Multilateralismus nach wie vor funktionieren kann."

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important November 10, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased FuelCell securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the FuelCell class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/fuelcell-energy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 10, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) FuelCell's manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under the capital equipment purchase agreement ("CEPA"); (2) as a result, FuelCell's annualized production rate for deliveries under the CEPA with Fit Energy was slower than expected; (3) as a result, FuelCell was incurring higher product costs and manufacturing overhead expenses; (4) as a result of the slower production rate, FuelCell was reasonably likely to incur charges in connection with the CEPA; (5) the foregoing was a known trend affecting FuelCell's profitability; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about FuelCell's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the FuelCell class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/fuelcell-energy-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Bahrain Awards Golden Licenses to Four New Projects at Gateway Gulf 2026 Valued at USD 3.89 Billion

Spanning aviation logistics, real estate, and technology, the latest Golden License projects underscore Bahrain's growing global investment appeal and diversified growth ambitions

MANAMA, Bahrain, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kingdom of Bahrain announced USD 3.89 billion in investment stemming from four large-scale projects awarded Golden Licenses at Gateway Gulf 2026, further reinforcing the Kingdom's position as a destination for high-value global investment. Spanning diversified sectors, across aviation logistics, real estate, and technology, the projects are expected to contribute to advancing Bahrain's economic diversification and long-term growth.

The announcement was made at fourth edition of Gateway Gulf, held on 1â2 November 2026 at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay. Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), the invitation-only forum gathered over 200 global ministerial and senior government officials, visionary chief executives, and investors in Bahrain to explore high-value investment opportunities and partnerships across the Gulf.

The four newly-awarded Golden Licenses comprise the following projects:

- Reinforcing its commitment to its MENA hub in Bahrain, DHL will establish its first and only regional maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at Bahrain International Airport, supporting its growing fleet and expanding capacity for global operations from the Kingdom.

- Three major aviation ventures led by Capital A, the parent company of AirAsia, are set to enhance connectivity with the Far East and Europe, expand air cargo capacity through phased freight growth, and advance in-country aircraft MRO capabilities, further reinforcing Bahrain's position as a regional aviation hub.

- A landmark waterfront development in Amwaj by Meliá, in partnership with Infracorp, will feature a five-star hotel and Meliá-branded residences, further elevating Bahrain's premium tourism and lifestyle offering.

- Digital City Bahrain will establish a next-generation hub for ICT, innovation, and education, supported by world-class infrastructure and designed to attract cluster technology companies, accelerate sector growth, and further advance Bahrain's digital ecosystem.

At the heart of Bahrain's investment environment is the Team Bahrain approach, a distinctive model of public-private partnership that brings government and business together to create the conditions for investment and enterprise to thrive. Bahrain EDB plays a central role in this ecosystem, serving as a bridge between investors and government and helping translate opportunity into long-term growth. This collaborative approach is underpinned by Bahrain's continued investment in digital transformation, progressive regulation, and future-ready talent, alongside a diversified economy in which non-oil activity accounts for around 86% of GDP, providing a resilient foundation for sustainable growth.

TESSAN Premieres 'Jump Into The Unknown' Documentary, Chronicling Jamie Leibert's 30-Day Expedition in the Swiss Alps

The film follows professional adventure athlete Jamie Leibert and his wife Sandra as they navigate changing conditions and unexpected challenges to rethink what makes an adventure truly worthwhile.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Before leaping from a cliff, Jamie Leibert pauses for a few seconds.

He checks his gear. He secures the pilot chute. He zips up his wingsuit and regulates his breathing. No one else can make the final call. After a brief silence, he looks toward the horizon.

"Three, two, one."

He takes a step forward.

Today, TESSAN officially premieres its new documentary, Jump Into The Unknown. The film follows professional adventure athlete and filmmaker Jamie Leibert and his wife, director of photography and editor Sandra Zinovyev, as they venture into the Swiss Alps for a 30-day expedition.

Known as Captain Manicorn, Jamie Leibert is a professional adventure athlete and filmmaker. His signature "climb and fly" discipline combines big-wall climbing with wingsuit and mini-wing flights. His expeditions have taken him to more than 80 countries. He is also the founder of the Battling Monsters movement, which uses adventure, film, and nonprofit work to explore the connections between fear, resilience, and mental health. Discover more about Jamie and his projects at jamieleibert.com and justcaremore.org.

For Jamie, flying is more than a few seconds in the air. Much of the experience happens beforehand: assessing the weather, planning routes, checking gear, and training until both mind and body are ready for the moment at the edge.

That perspective became the starting point for Jump Into The Unknown.

For this project, TESSAN and Jamie co-created a documentary that looks beyond the final jump. The camera stays with the process that shapes how a journey actually unfolds.

When Plans Change

This time, Jamie, Sandra, and their three-legged rescue dog Journey set out to spend 30 days exploring the Swiss Alps. They entered the mountains without a scripted ending, carrying one question with them.

What kind of experience makes an adventure truly worthwhile?

They soon found that the answer would not follow their itinerary. Weather windows closed quickly, routes had to change, and gear and transportation brought new variables.

A seemingly clear schedule was rewritten by reality again and again. What began as a search for an ideal destination gradually became an exploration of everything that happens along the way.

The meaning of adventure shifted from simply reaching a goal to experiencing the process. When routes changed, they reassessed. When weather prevented a flight, they waited. When things went wrong, they adapted.

In the film, Jamie asks, "What is the perfect journey?" His answer is simple: "It's not the destination. It's the journey."

The journey, as Jamie sees it, needs room to unfold. It needs different layers and chapters. The moments outside the original plan ultimately became an essential part of their 30 days in the Alps.

Courage Happens Before the Jump

The film spends considerable time on the preparation behind each flight. Jamie treks through deep snow, scouts routes between massive rock faces, and works with Sandra to respond to changing conditions.

Even with years of flying experience, fear remains real when Jamie stands at the edge.

The documentary does not present fear as something that can simply be overcome. Instead, it shows how Jamie works with it.

Before a jump, he checks his physical and mental state and returns to a place of focus. The goal is not to make fear disappear, but to make a clear decision while it is still there.

As he states in the film: "Courage is taking the first step into the unknown."

The unknown can be an unclimbed mountain, an unfamiliar route, or an unpredictable flight. But it can also appear in everyday life: a new decision, a new relationship, or a fresh start.

Sometimes, it is simply the choice to move forward when there is no clear answer.

A Cross-Disciplinary Brand Connection

Jump Into The Unknown is the first documentary co-created by TESSAN and Jamie Leibert, and a cornerstone of TESSAN's Courage Charge brand campaign.

On the surface, TESSAN and extreme sports may seem to belong to different worlds. But during the 30-day expedition, they found a shared perspective.

A journey leaves us with more than a final destination. It also shapes how we respond to change along the way.

For TESSAN, charging means helping people stay powered as they move, travel, and explore. Jamie's journey reflects a different kind of "charge": the ability to pause, adapt, and keep moving when conditions change and plans no longer hold.

This is the idea TESSAN hopes to share through Jump Into The Unknown. Journeys rarely unfold exactly as planned, and the moments worth remembering are often the ones no one could have scripted.

To watch the full documentary and discover more about TESSAN, visit here.

"We didn't want to create a commercial story around Jamie. We wanted to give the camera room to capture what actually happened," said Alex, CEO of TESSAN. "Courage is not about being free of fear. It is about making the next choice even when fear is still there. At TESSAN, we power devices, and we hope to support people as they step into the unknown and discover what comes next."

Beyond the Unknown Lies the Next Journey

From valleys to snow peaks, from climbing to flying, the 30-day expedition eventually comes to an end. But for Jamie and Sandra, it is only one chapter of a much longer journey.

The road ahead will bring new destinations, new environments, and new uncertainties. Having co-created this film together, TESSAN looks forward to continuing the journey with Jamie and Sandra, and to seeing where their next chapter takes them.

The choices they make beyond extreme sports are part of that story, too. What do we do when plans change, when answers are unclear, and when the next step is ours to decide?

Perhaps this is the question Jump Into The Unknown ultimately leaves with its audience.

The unknown will always be there. We can only decide whether the next step is worth taking.

DOK Leipzig: Vom MDR gestiftete Preise gehen an „Letters from the Silenced Country“

Leipzig (ots)

Im Rahmen des 69. Internationalen Leipziger Festivals für Dokumentar- und Animationsfilm hat der Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk als Kooperationspartner auch in diesem Jahr zwei Preise gestiftet: Die „Goldene Taube Langfilm“ im „Internationalen Wettbewerb Dokumentarfilm“ sowie der MDR-Preis „Bester Osteuropäischer Film“ wurden am 31. Oktober 2026 in Leipzig verliehen.

Die vom MDR seit 2013 jährlich gestiftete und mit 10.000 Euro dotierte "Goldene Taube Langfilm" in der Sektion "Internationaler Wettbewerb Dokumentarfilm" geht in diesem Jahr an „Letters from the Silenced Country“ von Andrei Kutsila.

Seit 1995 verleiht der MDR im Rahmen des DOK-Festivals den Preis für den besten osteuropäischen Dokumentarfilm. Der mit 3.000 Euro dotierte Preis geht ebenfalls an „Letters from the Silenced Country“ von Andrei Kutsila.

In der Jury-Begründung heißt es: „Letters from the Silenced Country“ ist ein herausragender Beleg dafür, wie persönliche Geschichten und Biografien die Schicksale einer ganzen Nation sichtbar machen können. Andrei Kutsila verbindet auf meisterhafte Weise unterschiedliche Formen des filmischen Erzählens und schafft so eine vielschichtige dokumentarische Sprache, die das Unsichtbare auf die Leinwand bringt und zum Schweigen gebrachte Stimmen hörbar macht. Neben der Realität politischer Repression in Belarus behandelt der Film universelle Themen wie Freiheit, Trennung, Liebe und menschliche Verbundenheit.

Der Film ist ein dokumentarisches Porträt von Belarus, erzählt aus der Perspektive von Menschen, die Verfolgung, Haft oder Exil unter dem Lukaschenko-Regime erlebt haben. Durch Briefe und Zeichnungen aus dem Gefängnis, Archivmaterial und Interviews macht der Film die Folgen politischer Repression und staatlicher Gewalt sichtbar. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Menschen, die trotz ständiger Überwachung und Inhaftierung an ihrem Wunsch nach Freiheit festhalten und dafür einen hohen persönlichen Preis zahlen.

Der Preis für die "Goldene Taube Langfilm" wurde von MDR-Programmdirektor Boris Lochthofen übergeben. Der Preis für den besten osteuropäischen Dokumentarfilm wurde von Thomas Beyer, Dokumentarfilm-Redakteur beim MDR, überreicht.

Gemeinsames Engagement für den Dokumentarfilm

Der MDR hat sich auch in diesem Jahr als Kooperationspartner für den Dokumentarfilm stark gemacht und in hohem Maße im Rahmen des Internationalen Leipziger Festivals für Dokumentar- und Animationsfilm engagiert.

So veranstaltete der MDR einen MDR-Tag mit dem „ARD TopDocs – Wettbewerb“ sowie einem „Special Screening“ im Leipziger Hauptbahnhof. Der MDR bot im Oktober wieder einen Schwerpunkt „Kino aus Osteuropa“ an. Seit 16.10. in der ARD Mediathek und vom 17.10. bis zum 23.10.2026 im MDR-Fernsehen wurden 12 Kinofilm-Highlights aus 12 Ländern gezeigt, darunter eine TV-Premiere. Der MDR begleitete zudem das Festival im Radio, Fernsehen und im Netz und berichtete für die gesamte ARD von DOK Leipzig.

Der MDR hat zu DOK Leipzig und dem „ARD TopDocs – Wettbewerb“ bereits folgende Medieninformationen veröffentlicht:

Beijing Review: Clear Rules, Consistent Adherence

BEIJING, Oct. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "To know what is level and straight, one must use a plumb line; to know what is square or round, one must use a ruler and a compass." This ancient line, drawn from The Annals of Lu Buwei (Lushi Chunqiu), compiled by late Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.) statesman Lu Buwei, underscores the importance of following established rules and standards.

On January 13, 2015, Chinese President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, cited this line at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He used it to stress the need for full and rigorous Party self-governance, as well as the importance of strict observance of political discipline and rules.

Effective governance depends on clear rules and consistent adherence to them. As the world's largest Marxist governing party, the CPC recognizes that effective leadership starts with strong self-discipline.

To govern both itself and a massive country of more than 1.4 billion people, the CPC must first establish clear internal standards. Only then can it earn greater public trust and support. From October 26 to 29, the 20th CPC Central Committee convened its fifth plenary session in Beijing, with a focus on persevering with full and rigorous Party self-governance.

Why does this matter now? This year is the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30). Achieving the goals outlined in the plan will require Party organizations to mobilize their members and rally broader public support. Weak discipline and unchecked corruption could divert the plan from its intended course and waste public funds, ultimately hindering the achievement of its key objectives.

Only by advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance and ensuring that government officials at all levels exercise power properly can these officials, many of whom are Party members, be fully committed to transforming the plan's goals into tangible results.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, the Party has continued to refine its system of internal regulations, so that officials dare not be corrupt for fear of severe punishment, cannot be corrupt because of robust institutional safeguards and do not want to be corrupt thanks to greater awareness. The aim is to ensure that power is subject to effective oversight and exercised within an established institutional framework.

Among the Party's disciplinary standards, political discipline, which safeguards the political integrity of its members, comes first. Regardless of their rank or position, all Party members must honor their commitments to the Party and the people, match their words with deeds and never place themselves above Party rules.

The Party Constitution serves as the CPC's general charter, while Party discipline sets out the standards that must be strictly observed. Together, these rules provide the framework that enables the Party to act as one.

Only a ruling party that exercises power within established bounds and lives up to its promises can earn the trust of the people and govern a country effectively. This emphasis on rules extends beyond domestic governance to relations between nations.

The CPC's approach to rule-based self-governance has also shaped China's approach to international relations: China has consistently called for upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and treating all countries as equals, regardless of their size or strength; China advocates the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits; and it has always been committed to promoting peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation among countries within a universally acknowledged framework.

Whether within a political party or across the international community, without clear standards, there can be no distinction between right and wrong; without respect for rules, there can be no lasting order.

Leitartikel: Die Ausschreitungen sind kein Grund, die Anliegen der GenZ-Proteste zu negieren

Frankfurt (ots)

Das Positive zuerst: Zigtausende, vor allem junge, Menschen, haben am Samstag friedlich demonstriert. Sie haben gegen den Sparkurs bei Bildung, Sozialem, Kultur und Gesundheit protestiert, steigende Lebenshaltungskosten angeprangert, Sorge vor staatlicher Überwachung bekundet und die Wehrpflicht abgelehnt. (...)

In Berichten und politischen Reaktionen wurde zwischen friedlichen Demos und den Gewaltaktionen, die teilweise folgten, wenigstens ansatzweise unterschieden. Selbst Innenminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) markierte zwar die Verursacher von Plünderungen und Angriffen auf die Polizei nach seinem gewohnten Muster ("gewaltbereite linke Gruppen und Chaoten aus dem migrantischen Milieu"). Aber selbst er sprach' von "friedlichen Demonstrationen", die von diesen Gruppen "gekapert" worden seien.

Schaut man genauer hin, ist es mit den positiven Nachrichten aber schnell vorbei. CDU-Generalsekretärin Franziska Hoppermann etwa gab sich zwar "traurig, dass friedlicher Protest teilweise kaum mehr möglich sei". Aber: "Ein wirklich inhaltliches Ziel der Demonstrationen blieb bis zuletzt fraglich - für einige war das der perfekte Deckmantel für Gewalt und Ausschreitungen." Das ist die höhere Kunst der Diskreditierung: Die friedlich Demonstrierenden haben den "Deckmantel" für Gewalt selbst geschaffen. (...) Hessens Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein, ebenfalls CDU, hält sich mit inhaltlichen Fragen erst gar nicht auf. Er sagt: "Wer sich so verhält wie die Angreifer in der Frankfurter Innenstadt, stellt sich außerhalb unserer Gesellschaft." Das allerdings könnte ein gewaltiger Irrtum sein: Die jungen Menschen, die man im Fernsehen mit Steinen auf Schaufensterscheiben losgehen sieht, sind sehr wohl Teil der Gesellschaft.

Nicht dass ihr Verhalten zu rechtfertigen wäre, es ist ja nicht nur kriminell, sondern stellt auch eine Steilvorlage für alle dar, die sich mit den Zielen von "GenZ regelt" nicht beschäftigen wollen. Aber die Aggressionen entspringen nicht einfach nur schlechten Charaktereigenschaften oder verqueren Vorstellungen von revolutionärem Aktivismus. (...)

Es ist gut, dass die Demonstrationen weitergehen sollen. Je größer sie werden, desto schwerer ist, ihre Motive umzuinterpretieren. (...) Die Jungen werden also noch viel zu tun haben, um nicht ideologisch vereinnahmt zu werden. Und nichts spricht dagegen, dass die Älteren ihnen dabei helfen.
