Merkel seeks alternatives to Russian gas
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is visiting Azerbaijan to discuss the development of a southern pipeline, the Southern Gas Corridor, which aims to transport gas from the Caspian Sea to Europe, bypassing Russia. This move is part of the EU's strategy to diversify its gas sources. The Shah Deniz II project in Azerbaijan is expected to start supplying gas to Europe by 2020. Merkel's visit also indicates her commitment to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia, despite criticism from US President Donald Trump, who has accused Germany of being too dependent on Russian gas. Merkel is also looking to protect Ukraine's gas transit revenues amidst the Nord Stream 2 project development. Her trip includes visits to Georgia and Armenia and discussions with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev.
Germany edges Algeria in extra-time to reach World Cup quarter-finals
Germany advanced to the World Cup quarter-finals after defeating Algeria 2-1 in extra-time. Andre Schuerrle scored with a backheel flick early in extra-time, and Mesut Oezil secured the win in the 120th minute, despite Algeria's late consolation goal by Abdelmoumene Djabou. The match was a tense affair with Algeria putting up a strong fight and Germany not displaying their best form. Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made several key clearances, and Joachim Loew's tactical changes during the game helped improve Germany's performance. Germany will face France in the quarter-finals, a team they have a historic rivalry with in the World Cup.
