Those two substitutions prevented a bigger defeat and allowed Germany to almost come back into the game. Germany struggled in the first 20 minutes, and a higher defeat was possible. The 29-year-old seems to have regained his Liverpool form and how he has played in recent weeks for Dortmund, he could finally become a crucial player for Germany, and a serious alternative to Leon Goretzka, who was substituted with a muscle injury. But even then, Germany was not fully beaten, and, finally, in the 87th minute, Gnabry found the back of the net. What, then, can Germany boss Flick take away from the two games against Peru and Belgium? Germany had more chances, and Serge Gnabry, in particular, should have found the equalizer.

"Games like this are good for our development. We have to take the positive things with us and work on the other things." It's clear that everything isn't at 100 percent," Flick said. The loss to Belgium, who have spent much of the last few years as the world's number one-ranked nation, is a far cry from the lows of a 6-0 thrashing by Spain in November 2020 and the home defeat against North Macedonia in 2022 World Cup qualifying. The four-time world and three-time European champions on Tuesday slumped to a 3-2 home defeat in a friendly against a Belgium team who were dumped out of last year's World Cup in the group stage. After a similar slump which saw Germany knocked out in the group stage at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004, a young team restored confidence by reaching the World Cup last four on home soil in 2006.

His goals remain the same: to cement Britain's improving relations with Europe and show that he can help the U.K. win hearts and minds abroad.

“In some ways, Charles does not have to do very much for people to follow him because there’s the mystique of the institution,’’ Chernock said. White tie and tiaras are expected to be on display during a state dinner at Schloss Bellevue, the German president’s official residence. Sunak hopes goodwill created by a royal visit can help pave the way for progress on other issues, including Britain’s return to an EU program that funds scientific research across Europe. He will also meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz, talk to Ukrainian refugees and meet with British and Germany military personnel who are working together on joint projects. “Charles will have fewer opportunities to present himself,” said said Arianne Chernock, a royal expert and professor of modern British history at Boston University.

A shortage of skilled workers has become a major headache for businesses in Europe's largest economy, as vast cohorts of older employees go into retirement.

Besides confronting the worker shortage problem, in a polluting industry like steel, the challenge in the next decade will also be the transformation to greener technologies. Each year around 50 new trainees join a programme with ArcelorMittal in Eisenhuettenstadt, where the steel group employs 2,700 people Nonetheless, the challenge of finding skilled workers -- or willing trainees -- is one faced by businesses across the country and in all sectors of the economy, according to the economic think tank Ifo. Finding new workers is particularly hard in eastern Germany, thanks to lower incomes than in the west and a reputation for being less welcoming to outsiders.

The opportunity card follows a points-based system that takes into account qualifications, language skills, professional experience, connection to Germany and age. "Anyone who can contribute to the country's economic success as a skilled worker is welcome." Under this regulation, Germany had previously been able to recruit 25,000 workers per year.

A potential legal reform is reigniting debate about a time limit on fixed-term postdoc contracts.

“So, in the end, we do not have a lot of time to do our research.” The protest was part of a backlash against a 17 March proposal by the research ministry to reduce the limit to three years. “We take this debate very seriously and will once again bring all stakeholders to the table,” a spokesperson for the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research told Nature. “Shortening the postdoc period as it was planned is suicidal to the system. “This was the biggest protest we have ever managed to create,” says co-organizer Sandra Janssen, a member of the Network for Decent Labour in Academia, which coordinated the protest. The protest is the latest flashpoint in a long-running debate about a law that means postdocs can be employed on fixed-term contracts for only up to six years after they complete their PhD.
