A car crashed into the main gate of the office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin

(REUTERS)

A car with an anti-globalisation slogan on its side crashed into the gate of the office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday, police said.

The driver has been taken into custody, Berlin police wrote on Twitter, adding that local and federal forces are investigating if the driver hit the gate intentionally.

Photographs from the scene of the incident showed police inspecting a vehicle with the words "Stop globalisation politics" written in white on the Volkswagen sedan’s right side.

Pictures shared online showed the phrase "You damn killers of children and old people" scrawled on the other.

There were no immediate reports of casualties, and a government spokesperson said Ms Merkel and members of her cabinet were never at risk during the incident.

"The chancellor, other members of the government and people working in the chancellery were not in danger at any time," a government spokesperson said, adding that the crash had caused only minor damage to property.

Berlin police have said "they do not suspect an extremist attack, with a spokesperson telling Reuters they are not working on the basis of this assumption at the moment".

Emergency services attended the scene, with dozens of police officers and a fire engine present.

The vehicle had license plates from the North Rhine-Westphalia area of Lippe.

It was driven away by the Berlin fire department showing little sign of damage, while the gate to the chancellery looked slightly dented.

Europe is on high alert after terrorist attacks in Paris, Nice and Vienna in recent weeks.

The chancellor was due to be host a video call with the country’s federal state leaders on Wednesday morning, during which a lockdown extension and additional restrictions to deal with the coronavirus pandemic over the holidays were expected to be discussed.

  • Oil Tumbles With Spread of Demand Pessimism and Firmer Dollar

    (Bloomberg) -- Oil slumped below $52 a barrel in New York as renewed virus lockdowns deepened pessimism over demand, while a stronger dollar reduced the appeal of commodities priced in the currency.Consumption remains precarious, with parts of Hong Kong locking down, some Shanghai residents banned from leaving the city and the U.K. prime minister signaling restrictions may last for months. Traffic in New York fell from a month earlier.Despite the concerns over day-to-day demand, physical crude-buying for the coming months has firmed in recent days. A flurry of purchases by Chinese, Indian and Thai refiners has supported prices, while key swaps tied to the North Sea market are at the strongest level in 10 months. That’s keeping the futures curve in a bullish structure known as backwardation.A pullback in oil futures has been on the cards, with crude trading near its highest level in almost a year. Investors have flocked back to commodities as frigid winter weather and hopes of a big economic stimulus from U.S. President Joe Biden support buying interest. Saudi Arabia’s unilateral output cut also eased oversupply concerns, helping reshape the oil futures curve.“The reflation trade is not dead,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodities research at Saxo Bank A/S. “But for now it’s pausing, and that could leave many markets overexposed.”The Biden administration’s initial steps -- including a suspension of the sale of oil and gas leases on federal land, a focus on fiscal spending and a likely delay in lifting sanctions on Iran --- may help tighten the oil market this year and next, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a note. A speedier vaccine rollout could also boost jet-fuel demand, it said.Iran, meanwhile, has started ramping up its oil production and expects to reach pre-sanctions levels in one to two months, according to Deputy Oil Minister Amir Hossein Zamaninia. The market will be able to accommodate the country’s maximum output of around 3.9 million to 4 million barrels a day, he said. But risks for any buyer remain as long as U.S. sanctions are in place.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

    Dublin, Jan. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global RegTech Market (2020-2025) by Component, Application, Deployment, Organization Size, Vertical, Geography, Competitive Analysis and the Impact of Covid-19 with Ansoff Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global RegTech Market is estimated to be USD 6 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 13.4 Bn by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 17.5%.Key factors promoting the growth of the market are the rising number of fraudulent activities such as money laundering taking place in the financial sector. This has required a need for risk and compliance management system, especially for large scale organizations. Besides, the adoption of Regulatory Technology (Reg Tech) software can also be effective in reducing compliance costs by speeding up the business processes and increasing the organization's overall efficiency.The high cost of the software and the regulatory discrepancies across different regions are likely to hamper the growth of the market.Segments Covered By Component, the Solutions segment holds the largest market share. The demand for the Reg Tech solutions is increasing with the growing incidences of money laundering followed by non-compliance in the wake of changing regulatory scenario. These solutions can help businesses to run effectively through their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings and use of the latest technologies like cloud computing or AI, etc. These solutions also have intelligent process automation systems that can speed up routine activities while minimizing human errors.By Application, Regulatory Intelligence holds the largest market share. Regulatory intelligence gathers publicly available regulatory information that can be used for monitoring the regulatory environment. This has helped the financial institutions manage according to the changing regulatory environment and minimize the risks related to non-compliance. Further, the application of analytics in financial institutions can help make informed decisions on regulatory grounds adding to the segmental growth.By Deployment, the market is classified as On-premises and Cloud-based. The Cloud-based segment holds the largest market share during the forecast period. Especially, in today's data-driven world, the implementation of Reg Tech solutions is highly improved with cloud-based solutions by utilizing analytics and data surveillance. Cloud-based solutions are scalable, easy to use across users, and are cost-effective.By Organization Size, the market can be classified as large enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Amongst the two, the Large Enterprises hold the highest market share. These large enterprises, also characterized by publicly traded companies, have to abide by the changing regulatory scenario. Due to their organization size and operations, manual implementation of these procedures is not quite feasible. Thus, these organizations are assisted by various consulting vendors to provide Reg Tech services for ensuring adherence to regulatory guidelines.By Vertical, the Banking and Capital Markets holds the largest market share as these institutions are known to operate in a regulated environment. Thus, they are highly exposed to the adoption of an ever-changing regulatory scenario. In many cases, they also face hefty fines for non-compliance measures. With the rise in strict compliance guidelines across many regions, these institutions are adopting Reg Tech software to simplify the process and reduce compliance-related costs.Market Dynamics Drivers The Rising Number of Fraudulent ActivitiesThe Increasing Need for Risk and Compliance ManagementThe Growing Cost of ComplianceNeed for Faster Transactions Restraints The High Cost of SoftwareRegulatory DivergenceLack of Technical Knowledge about the Software Deliverable Opportunities Adoption of New Technologies to Achieve Compliance EfficiencyGovernment Initiatives for the Adoption of Reg TechMandatory Application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) GuidelinesApplication of Reg Tech for Non-Finance Industries Challenges Privacy of Consumer DataImplementation Challenges due to Incompatible Systems Key Topics Covered: 1 Report Description2 Research Methodology3 Executive Summary4 Market Overview4.1 Introduction 4.2 Market Dynamics4.3 Trends5 Market Analysis5.1 Porter's Five Forces Analysis5.2 Impact of COVID-195.3 Ansoff Matrix Analysis6 Global Reg Tech Market, By Component6.1 Introduction6.2 Solutions6.3 Services6.3.1 Professional Services6.3.1.1 Consulting6.3.1.2 Implementation6.3.1.3 Support and Maintenance6.3.2 Managed Services7 Global Reg Tech Market, By Application7.1 Introduction7.2 Risk and Compliance Management7.3 Identity Management7.4 Regulatory Reporting7.5 Anti-money laundering (AML) and Fraud Management7.6 Regulatory Intelligence8 Global Reg Tech Market, By Deployment8.1 Introduction8.2 On-premises8.3 Cloud-based9 Global Reg Tech Market, By Organization Size9.1 Introduction9.2 Large Enterprises9.3 Small and Medium-Size Enterprises10 Global Reg Tech Market, By Vertical10.1 Introduction10.2 Banking and Capital Markets10.3 Insurance10.4 Non- Finance11 Global Reg Tech Market, By Geography12 Competitive Landscape12.1 IGR Competitive Quadrants12.2 Market Share Analysis12.3 Competitive Scenario12.3.1 Mergers & Acquisitions12.3.2 Agreements, Collaborations, & Partnerships12.3.3 New Product Launches & Enhancements12.3.4 Investments & Fundings13 Company Profiles ACTICO GmbHBroadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LimitedIBMJumioMetricStream Inc.NICEPwCAccuityThomson ReutersComplyAdvantageWolters Kluwer N.V.Abside Smart Financial TechnologiesAlto AdvisoryCompendorCompliance Solutions Strategies (CSS)EastnetsFenergoInfrasoft TechnologiesJumioVERMEG (acquired Lombard Risk)London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG)Nasdaq BwiseRimes TechnologiesSai GlobalSysnet Global SolutionsTrulioo For more information about this report visit https://www.researchandmarkets.com/r/yasc7j Research and Markets also offers Custom Research services providing focused, comprehensive and tailored research.
