| Germany reports more arson fires at refugee centres [AlAhram] There were six arson fires at centres for asylum seekers in 2014, 92 in 2015, 45 thus far this year. Holger Muench, head of the federal criminal police (BKA) said he did not have any knowledge of large-scale far-right groups being behind the fires, adding the majority were set by men from the areas near the torched shelters. Germany to spend $106 billion on refugees over 5 years: Report [AlAhram] Germany's federal government expects to spend 93.6 billion euros ($106.2 billion) to support refugees over the next five years, weekly Der Spiegel reported Saturday. The Hamburg-based magazine cited a finance ministry document that predicted the annual costs would rise from about 16.1 billion euros this year to 20.4 billion in 2020. Much of the money would go toward basic benefits, housing support and language lessons for asylum-seekers, but the overall amount also includes spending on efforts to fight the reasons why people flee their home countries and seek refuge in Germany.
