“It’s looking like my dad isn’t going to make it. So I’m sitting here trying to figure out what life is going to be like without him. He was my North Star. Everything I know about being a man was because of him. This morning I went on a long run, and I began to feel tired. Suddenly I remember being thirteen years old, jogging alongside my father, and having him say to me: ‘As long as you can take one more step, take it.’” (1/3)

Reports: Germany to reinstate border controls at Austria frontier | News | DW.COM | 13.09.2015

German media are reporting that Berlin is planning to reinstate border controls to monitor the flow of refugees trying to enter the country from Austria. The interior minister is to deliver a statement.

A spokeswoman for Austria’s rail service, OeBB, said independently that it was suspending its trains to Germany at the request of Germany’s railway company, Deutsche Bahn.
The government of the southern German state of Bavaria had called for help from federal police to cope with the task of monitoring people trying to enter Germany, the “Bild” report said, citing security authorities.
