Syrian Refugees Get Help Across the Border
Thousands of Syrians are fleeing across the border into Turkey from the
intensifying violence in their own country. There, they fill refugee
camps and hospitals while worrying about those left behind -- and
wondering if leaders in Ankara will take their support to the next
level.

The Far-Right Threat to Germany's Democracy
The leaders of Germany's far-right NPD seek to project the party as
mainstream and reasonable. In truth, however, the party is a melting pot
for racists, Hitler worshippers and enemies of democracy. There are
plenty of reasons to ban the party. But would it make the NPD more
dangerous than ever? By SPIEGEL Staff

IRRITATION IN ATHENS
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'I Don't Accept Insults to My Country by Mr. Schäuble'
Europe may be losing patience with Greece, but politicians in Athens are
also growing increasingly sensitive to criticism from abroad. Greek
President Karolos Papoulias has now gone public with his frustration
over pressure from Germany. On Wednesday night, he gave the German
finance minister a tongue-lashing.

Palestinian Villages May Soon Go Dark Once Again
Several small Palestinian villages in the West Bank had been without
electricity for decades -- before an Israeli foundation with funding
from Europe recently installed solar panels and wind turbines. Now,
though, Israel wants to remove the facilities because they are on land
under its administration.

'The Iran Conlict Is Intensifying Step by Step'
Taken together, the myriad developments are baffling. Iran says it has
made advances in nuclear research, but wants to resume talks with the
West. It is threatening to cut off oil supplies to Europe while
allegedly sponsoring attacks against Israeli diplomats. German
editorialists attempt to make sense of the confusion.

expected to disrupt or lead to the cancellation of hundreds of flights

As Rents Rise, Some Berliners Find Refuge on the Water
As rents continue to rise in Berlin, many young people are finding it
harder to afford apartments on land. Some have opted instead to build
their own houseboats and moor them along the city's Spree River. One
even plans to open his abode up to tourists seeking accommodation this
summer.

Smoke and Mirrors in the Climate Debate
A new book by an executive at a major German power ultility claims we
aren't facing a climate catastrophe and rejects current mainstream ideas
on global warming. Both climate change skeptics and those who warn of
global warming profit from such controversies -- so who should we
believe?
