Who is responsible for Germany's drone defense?
Local or federal? Police or military? Drone sightings that suspended air traffic in Munich have prompted a debate about how to deal with such incidents.
The German government is holding a meeting on Wednesday to discuss defense against drones, after flights were suspended at the Munich Airport twice in two days over reported drone sightings.

Jenrick doubles down on ‘I didn’t see any white faces’ attack on Birmingham and insists it ‘did look like a slum’
Bishop of Birmingham says shadow justice secretary’s comments are ‘entirely wrong’ and ‘deeply unhelpful’
Robert Jenrick has doubled down on his comment about not seeing “another white face” while visiting the Handsworth area of Birmingham, reiterating that it “did look like a slum”.
The shadow justice secretary defended his remarks, insisting that he “won’t shy away” from issues of integration and his comments about white faces were just an “observation”.
Speaking during a live recording of The Telegraph’s Daily T podcast at the Conservative Party conference, Mr Jenrick said there are “pockets” of towns and cities that are largely segregated and that “we should not back down” from talking about them, adding that there was not a “mix of people on the streets” when he visited.
