German Chancellor Olaf Scholz falls while jogging and bruises his face
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz fell while jogging and sustained bruises to his face, prompting him to cancel some appointments this weekend, the government said Saturday. In an emailed response to a query about the incident, the government said that the 65-year-old German leader had “a small sports accident” and canceled appointments Sunday in the central Hesse region, where a state election is being held on Oct. 8. The Hesse-based Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper first reported on Saturday's incident.
