When pressed by a young student on whether his plans to end online anonymity would impede personal liberties, Chancellor Merz reacted indignantly, declaring: “Please, no one…

Paris issued a rare apology to Washington on Tuesday in an effort to defuse a diplomatic row and unblock the appointment of France’s new U.S. ambassador.
