Germany Vows Tough Penalties After Frankfurt Riots as Police Face Violent Unrest

Germany is preparing a tough response after violent unrest erupted in Frankfurt following nationwide demonstrations over education and the rising cost of living. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has warned that rioters and looters will be identified and face severe penalties.

The violence occurred after tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities across Germany on Saturday. The protests were organised under the campaign group “Gen Z regelt”, or “Gen Z takes charge”, with participants calling for better education and lower living costs. While most demonstrations remained peaceful, Frankfurt became the main centre of violent clashes.

Do You Really Need a Creatine Washout? What the Science Says

Do You Really Need a Creatine Washout? What the Science Says

Creatine is one of the most popular supplements for improving strength, exercise performance and muscle growth. But as its popularity has grown, so has a common question among gym-goers: Do you need to stop taking creatine every few months? This practice is often called a “creatine washout,” and some fitness enthusiasts believe regular breaks are necessary to reset the body or prevent unwanted effects.

Recent discussion from Men’s Health suggests the answer is more nuanced. A washout means temporarily stopping creatine supplementation, usually to allow muscle creatine levels to gradually return towards their normal baseline. However, there is currently no strong evidence that healthy people need to cycle creatine or take regular breaks simply because they have been using it for a long time.

A major debate about healthy eating has emerged after international nutrition scientists introduced a new food pyramid designed to bring together scientific recommendations from different countries. The newly published International Food Guide Pyramid offers a different approach to nutrition, placing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and other plant-based foods at the centre of a healthy diet. Its recommendations are attracting attention because they differ considerably from the updated American dietary guidelines introduced under US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in January 2026.

For decades, food pyramids have helped people understand which foods they should eat regularly and which ones deserve more limited consumption. However, changing scientific discussions about protein, saturated fat, carbohydrates and processed foods have created disagreements over the best way to communicate healthy eating. The new international model attempts to address these questions by combining evidence from national dietary guidelines and more than 250 scientific publications.

As votes are tallied, Israel finds itself in a tricky situation with both the right-wing bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the opposition led by Gaddi Eisentein failing to secure enough seats in parliament to create a government.

The initial results show Netanyahu’s bloc will gain 53 seats out of 120 in the Knesset, giving him a good chance of winning. The opposition led by Eisenstein will gain 48 seats. However, neither side have gained the 61 seats needed to win a majority in parliament. Arab-led parties are predicted to gain 19 seats between them, giving them significant influence over the next government.
