In the debate on the role of foreigners and Muslims in Germany, Angela Merkel has called into question the model of integration which has held sway for several decades — a new position, which the German press believes is indicative of a shift to the right in Berlin. 
Letting Russia join NATO — the new big idea of the alliance's strategists — might make sense to some, but to others who still fear the bear's claws, it is pure folly. 
A new exhibition in Berlin tries for the first time to fathom the secret of Hitler’s hold on his people – with mixed results, says the German press. 
Could Germany and Portugal's election to the U.N. Security Council revive Europe's declining influence in the world? Don't bet on it, argues the New York Times. 
To counter the decline in Europe’s population, we will have to take stock of two important points, insists the former president of France’s Institute for Demographic Studies: demographic change is proceeding at a different rate in individual countries, and immigration alone is not the solution. 
Every year the European Film Academy honours a practitioner of the “seventh art” for the entirety of his or her past work. This year the lifetime achievement award goes to Swiss actor Bruno Ganz. 
An efficient diplomatic service is not enough: EU's member states are still lacking a coherent common foreign policy, writes Gazeta Wyborcza. 
On 3 October, the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, warned its citizens of the “high threat” of a terror attack in Europe. The Independent wonders if such alerts aren’t creating an unwelcome climate of fear. 
While Germans celebrated the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterand were at war over the consequences of a united Germany. Secret government documents obtained by Der Spiegel appear to show that Bonn was forced to sacrifice the Deutschmark for reunification. 
With the European Commission about to force members to rein in their budgets, a wave of protest against the cuts has erupted across Europe with a general strike in Spain and large demonstrations in Brussels, Greece, Italy, Ireland and Portugal. 
Chancellor Angela Merkel's vision of completing Germany's conversion to renewable energy by 2050 is bold and ambitious. But she has remained silent about the risks and the tremendous costs the green revolution will entail -- for Germany and all of Europe. 
With its representatives confined to the opposition benches nearly everywhere in Europe, the left is increasingly unable to propose a real alternative in a world where ideology is progressively disappearing. 
Nicolas Sarkozy defiance of Europe — loudly supported by Silvio Berlusconi — isn't just about the Roma, it is an attack on the community's core values and the right of the public to know what is being done in their name, says columnist Barbara Spinelli 
Threatened with legal action by the Commission, with precious little backing from her neighbours, France is suffering the fallout from her president’s bellicose anti-Roma rhetoric. But the other Roma-deporting countries could conceivably help her out of this fix. 
In the time of the Venetian Republic, the Adriatic ports were the trade capitals for the Orient. They are now reuniting to challenge northern Europe’s maritime monopoly, with an economic and ecological edge. 
France's SNCF and its German rival Deutsche Bahn are locked in a struggle to corner the high-speed train market. London weekly The Economist argues they would better off merge. 
A number of declining ex-industrial European cities like Bilbao, Berlin and Lille have succeeded in using culture to buck the downward trend. But a fancy new opera house or mega-museum is not enough to kindle the urban renewal dynamic: an open mind for the unexpected and even inefficient is also an indispensable ingredient.
"You’ve never experienced a city like this one before,” they say. Berlin is the European city of choice for Israelis. Above and beyond bitter remembrances of expulsion and extermination, what they seek there now is, first and foremost, fun. 
Renationalisation of politics, a painful economic slump, hasty enlargement, populism - some of the reasons why insiders in Washington believe the EU is a thing of the past. 
A wave of protest has overrun Germany. People everywhere are coming out against politicians’ pet projects. Democracy seems alive and kicking, but oftentimes self-interest and the general welfare collide head-on. And this naysaying spree could stymie the country’s modernisation. 
How does a city that symbolises Nazism or French collaboration bear such an enduring burden? Nuremberg and Vichy are each struggling in their own way to live down the past. 
Germany’s economy is up and running again – and leaving the other Western heavyweights in the dust. The gap is widening between Germany and the rest of the eurozone – which in turn could derail the German recovery: wherever German exporters look, the outlook for key markets is already clouding over.
