They scored 16 goals in five games already this season.
Billi BhattiHOST
If you want a game that might compare to this one, when they went to Osnabrück in the DFL, DFB Pokal they won 4-1 so if you're worried here about Elfsberg scoring they will score because Bayern Munich's underlying defensive issues are very clear and Elfsberg they've won their opening two games in the Bundesliga already so they don't need to come here or they're at home so they don't need to invite Bayern there and sit in with any kind of low block or play with any fear that could go against them because you know you could end up with a 4-1, 5-1, 6-1 but I think that's what we're going to see here so I think Bayern and over three and a half goals is a way to go the total for this game is set at four and I think this will go over four and I also like Bayern Munich and BTTS as well so lots of plays there I like them all, but ultimately Bayern Munich win this and it will be a high scoring game.
Billi BhattiHOST
That's it for me.
Billi BhattiHOST
Good luck with all of your bets as always, guys.
Rebecca MessinaPANELIST
So this is not a confirmed deal, but it's the beginnings of a confirmed deal with the Israeli private equity firm Aurelius Capital and the state of Lower Saxony.
Rebecca MessinaPANELIST
to take over the Volkswagen Osnabrück plant.
Rebecca MessinaPANELIST
Osnabrück is in Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany.
Rebecca MessinaPANELIST
And so at the end of 2027, when the plant was already scheduled to cease making vehicles, it is going to start making air defence components for Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, which is the company responsible for the Iron Dome and David Sling systems that are at the core of Israel's air defences.
Rebecca MessinaPANELIST
The plant will be working on similar technology for Germany and Europe more broadly.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
It was by right of his mother that he now became ruler of the United Kingdom.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The father was Ernest Augustus, sovereign bishop of Osnabrück, who at the death of his elder brothers had become Duke of Hanover, and then Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
In 1692 he was raised by the Emperor to the dignity of Elector.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The other Electors were indignant at the Emperor's claim in such an arbitrary manner to add to their number, and for nearly sixteen years, during which period one election to the Empire had taken place, the Electors refused any recognition of the new voice.

Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Apparently in his usual health, King George was, according to his custom, travelling from England to his beloved Hanover.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
He had entered Germany and was posting in his travelling carriage when he was suddenly seized with a fit of apoplexy.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The attendants proposed to stop and obtain medical assistance, but the only remark that the dying king could utter was Osnabrück, Osnabrück.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
So with all speed the horses galloped on.
Laura PitelCORRESPONDENT
A few months ago, I visited a small growing startup called Arx Robotics, and they've done a deal with a former auto supplier where they could make up to 60 of their kind of ground-based military robots per day.
Laura PitelCORRESPONDENT
What's gonna happen at the VW plant in Osnabrück is that they will make things like launchers and vehicles for this Iron Dome system.
Laura PitelCORRESPONDENT
They're not actually gonna make the missiles, which are both, like, the most sensitive and the most difficult part.
Laura PitelCORRESPONDENT
But I think it shows you how there can be some overlap.
Sam D’ArcHOST
We've got a Canadian dealer on today's show to give his perspective as well.
Sam D’ArcHOST
Moving on, Volkswagen has agreed to sell its Osnabrück factory, slated to end vehicle production in 2027, to Israeli's Aurelius Capital and the German state of Lower Saxony, with plans to repurpose the facility for defense production.
Sam D’ArcHOST
The initial anchor project involves Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and includes a potential side proj- project converting VW Amarok pickups into military vehicles.
Sam D’ArcHOST
The deal is expected to preserve roughly 1,400 of the plant's 1,800 jobs.
Mike RobinsonHOST
And speaking of Germany, uh, just like the UK, uh, Germany is reorienting its economy to a war economy once again.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Uh, the latest example is the Volkswagen factory at Osnabrück, uh, and they have sold, sold that factory to Israeli private equity firm Aurelius.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Uh, and, uh, so Aurelius is the new majority owner, and the Lower... uh, the state of Lower Saxony is a minority owner.
Mike RobinsonHOST
So the plant will no longer manufacture cars, but instead is gonna produce components for air defense systems produced by Israeli state-owned company Rafael.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Uh, Osnabrück, uh, factory currently employs 3,000 workers, and most of those are gonna be kept on to manufacture weapons instead.
Mike RobinsonHOST
And then staying in Germany for a moment, I wanted to highlight the latest sabotage attempt on national infrastructure there.
Mike RobinsonHOST
This time, the German police discovered multiple suspected launch devices, uh, positioned near a high voltage power line.

According to Globe, citing Germany's Workstaff-Woch article, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a major government-owned Israeli defense technology company based in Haifa, is expected to begin producing Iron Dome components as early as next year at Volkswagen's Osnabrück plant.
Stephen FlurryHOST
So Volkswagen, the car manufacturer, the car factory is being transformed into a weapons factory.
Stephen FlurryHOST
Where have you heard that before? Who's been warning about that since the 40s, since right after World War II ended? Production would reportedly include launchers, trucks, generators, and other components, but not Iron Dome interceptors.
Stephen FlurryHOST
Gerald Flurry's booklet on Hosea, it explains that prophecy, and then you see it happening.
