Friedrich Merz at the climate summit: Germany's green course in focus!
On Friday, November 6, 2025, important events are coming up in the political arena and in sports. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) is making a short visit to Belém, Brazil, on Thursday evening. The aim of the trip is to highlight the importance of climate protection while at the same time taking into account the federal government's economic competitiveness and openness to technology. This visit comes ahead of the COP30 global climate conference, which will take place shortly. The Alliance against Cyberbullying has announced interesting developments on exactly this topic.
At the same time, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban will meet US President Donald Trump in the White House on Friday. The main topic will be energy trade with Russia, a sensitive issue as the US seeks to stop Russian oil and gas exports to stop funding the Ukraine war. Orban, on the other hand, wants to maintain energy imports from Russia despite US sanctions, which could further inflame diplomatic tensions.
Political developments and conferences
In Germany, the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is working with an investigative committee to which, among others, Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) and Peter Altmaier (CDU) have been invited as witnesses. The committee is looking into possible Russian influence on the founding of the MV Climate Foundation, which played a key role in the completion of the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipeline.
Meanwhile, the justice ministers of the federal states are meeting in Leipzig for the autumn meeting. The topics include the criminal liability of secret voyeuristic recordings and the acceleration of deportations of asylum seekers to other EU countries. However, the results of this conference have no direct legal effect.
Economic worries and sports highlights
Concerns about Germany's foreign trade remain. On Friday, the Federal Statistical Office will publish the export figures for September. There are legitimate fears that growing competition from China and the ongoing tariff conflict with the USA could further aggravate the economic situation.
In terms of sport, it will be exciting: Bernd Neuendorf is to be re-elected as DFB President, and VfL Wolfsburg is facing a crucial game in the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen. After six defeats from seven competitive games, coach Paul Simonis and other responsible people face consequences if the team fails here too. Kick-off in the Weserstadion is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
Bullying online and the nominations
The Alliance against Cyberbullying also presents a new study on cyberbullying-related problems that surveyed more than 2,000 people between the ages of 18 and 65. This shows that cyberbullying not only affects young people but also adults, which is becoming increasingly relevant to society. The development and results of past studies will continue to gain in importance in the future.
The nominations for the Grammys will also be announced on Friday. Exciting candidates include Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter. The 68th Grammy Awards will take place on February 1, 2026 in Los Angeles and promises to be a glamorous event.
