Let's take a look at the ever-increasing number of people in need of care. It should be a matter of course that they are provided with adequate and dignified care. But many homes are overcrowded, there is a lack of staff. What exactly is the reason for this is now being investigated by an AOK study. For example, people are often left to their own devices. Luisa Huben reports. Medication and sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor. Because the patient can't sleep or is often restless. In this nursing home in the district of Ludwigsburg, this should only be the emergency solution. That we simply try to find alternatives, to find ways to calm the residents, or to find sleep rituals and to be able to bypass the medication. But often there are permanent regulations on sedatives and sleeping pills. On average, 7.5% of nursing home residents get them for longer than the allowed four weeks. The AOK health insurance comes to this conclusion in its current care report. The drugs can make you addicted. They lead to further cognitive impairments, fear, the quality of life decreases. And that's just not necessary. The health insurance also reports that home residents often, even unnecessarily, come to the hospital shortly before they die. And dementia patients often have to be treated because they drink too little. To prevent this, the task of an often understaffed team. The Foundation for Patient Protection calls for more transparency. How is the supply of medication? With specialists? What about psychopharmacists? All of this must not go wrong, but must be made public per facility. From the perspective of the AOK, nurses and doctors would have to work closer together, to improve the quality of life of home residents. For the first time, there is suspicion against a German cardinal of having committed sexual violence. It is about the already deceased founding bishop of the High Bishop's and later Cardinal Franz Hengsbach. He is accused of three sexual assaults in the 1950s and 1960s. At least one victim is said to have been underage. Cardinal Hengsbach died in 1991. The Catholic Church is investigating the allegations. The neo-Nazi association Hammerskins Deutschland and the non-governmental organization Crew 38 have been banned. And there were riots today. The Hammerskins are considered a worldwide right-wing extremist network. Since the early 90s, they have also been in Germany. More from Andreas Hubbard. Radically right-wing anti-Semitic. The Hammerskins Germany. Of course, we are the elite of the right-wing extremist skinheads. Since today, the neo-Nazi association is forbidden. Riots in the morning, as here in Berlin, Germany, far into a total of ten federal states. Clubs, houses, apartments of supposed leaders are searched. Material confiscated. The action was prepared for a year. Right-wing extremism remains the greatest extremist threat for the democratic constitution in Germany. And accordingly, we continue to act with all determination to destroy right-wing extremist structures. The crossed hammers as a symbol. The neo-Nazi group has its roots in the USA. Internationally networked, Hammerskin has appeared here in Germany mainly through right-wing rock concerts and martial arts events. With this, the group has earned money. Just like with the sale of right-wing extremist devotionals. Especially at right-wing rock concerts, when different actors come together, you can also exchange ideas. For example, you can buy merchandise, t-shirts, hoodies, other pieces of clothing. A strong sense of identity develops. And that is of course the entrance door into extremism. The authorities of Hammerskins value the ban as an important success in the fight against right-wing extremism in Germany. Floods after storm and rain, like in Libya. But also heat and drought. The weather extremes are increasing. Also in Germany. Experts say it's high time to protect yourself better. There has long been a strategy from the federal government on how to adapt to climate change that can no longer be avoided. But little has happened concretely. Andreas Stamm is now supposed to change that. A city adapts to the consequences of climate change. Until 2025, Rotterdam wants to be climate-safe, explains Johan Verlinde, manager of the adaptation program. This means, above all, to be safe from more frequent and severe rainfall. That's why central places have been redesigned to catch basins. When it starts to rain, all the water from around the area and from the rooftops here in this basin gathers. They are then filled up to here. After 24 hours, the water is checked and drained. And prevents floods, which can save lives, says Verlinde. Rooftops also offer protection against water masses, which absorb rain like a sponge and return the moisture on hot days, thus cooling the environment. The first adaptation manager in the city of Hamm is also fighting against extreme weather consequences. Her idea against record heat, foggy showers. Unfortunately, a component is missing. The very beginning is difficult when adapting. Actually, this should be a topic that concerns everyone. And where you also notice this importance, that measures are implemented quickly and efficiently, but on the other hand, there is a huge bureaucratic monster behind it. A strategy paper formulated in 2008 by the then federal government is now supposed to be passed 15 years later. Accelerate climate adaptation. Much wasted time, so critics. In the Tegel Vipengross in Rotterdam, a competition was held between Dutch cities. Goal? Remove as many plaster stones as possible, seal off areas, green cities, and make them environmentally friendly. At the moment, numerous heads of state and government and heads of the world are at the UN General Assembly in New York. This is a lot about the war in Ukraine. For the first time since the Russian attack, the Ukrainian President Zelensky has traveled to the headquarters of the United Nations. He is to speak in these hours in front of the UN. Elmar Thewissen reports on the meeting of the world community in New York. If you could wish, what image the United Nations would offer today, it would be that of unity. But there is war in the middle of Europe, which affects the whole world. Some see the principles of the UN as endangering the right of existence of a member state. Others, like President Brazil, propose to fire the war with arms deliveries. There is a passionate, and sometimes almost angry, appeal from Lula da Silva. The world must not be divided into spheres of influence and plunged into a new cold war. The war in Ukraine reveals our collective inability to enforce the goals and principles of the UN Charter. We do not underestimate the difficulties in achieving peace, but no solution will be feasible without dialogue. Joe Biden is too late to listen to Lula. Russia, he says, expects the world to get tired and Putin to continue to wage war. If we abandon the core principles of the United Nations to weaken an aggressor, can any member state be sure that it is protected? If we allow the division of Ukraine, is the independence of any nation secured? Volodymyr Zelensky will still talk. He just compared Putin to Hitler on US television. If he repeats it here, it will stir up emotions.
