US President George W Bush has arrived in Germany for a two-day visit en route to the G8 summit in Russia.
The visit is the first by the president since German Chancellor Angela Merkel came to power last year.

On Thursday, Mr Bush will spend part of the day in the former East Germany, where Mrs Merkel grew up, in her parliamentary constituency of Stralsund.

Story here.

The historic Old Town in Stralsund has been cordoned off, and businesses inside the cordon will close for the day on Thursday.

I hope somebody will reimburse these businesses for the revenue lost, and that the employees will still be paid.
