Hamburg

Hamburg is a city in Germany currently in the news for several reasons. It recently hosted a summit of European leaders discussing strategies to reduce dependence on the United States, particularly in light of perceived deterioration in transatlantic relations under President Trump. The city is also the location of a trial involving a 21-year-old man accused of inciting teenagers to self-harm online, including a case of suicide. The defendant, known online as 'White Tiger,' is alleged to be a key figure in a cyber-criminal group. Furthermore, Hamburg, along with the rest of Germany, is preparing for heavy snowfall as Storm Goretti impacts northern Europe. These events highlight Hamburg's role as a significant European city involved in international politics, grappling with the challenges of online crime, and facing the impact of severe weather.
