A GERMAN leader will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph for the first time on Remembrance Sunday. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has been invited in a “historic act of reconciliation” to mark 100 years since the end of World War One. PM Theresa May said: “Remembrance Sunday gives all of us the chance to remember the immense sacrifices made in war. “I look forward to welcoming President Steinmeier to this year’s ceremony.” He will also join a service at Westminster Abbey. When The Sun revealed the plans last month, ex-Army chief Field Marshal Lord Guthrie insisted the ceremony was “peculiarly British”. He added: “For the Germans to be there wouldn’t be understood by a lot of people.” RAPE TORTURE Gang member who 'raped & killed student' has PEARLS in penis that inflict pain 'DON'T P*** ME OFF' Dad knocks out yob who goads him after 'weeing against garden fence' NEEDLE IN NAPPY Mum's horror after 'finding needle' in … [Read more...] about German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier will lay wreath at Cenotaph for first time on Remembrance Sunday

Migration deal knocks German Bunds, lifts Italian bonds
In contrast, Italian 10-year government bond yields fell to a one-week low at 2.71pc as the deal reached overnight lifted sentiment towards the euro zone's riskier assets. Tense negotiations ended in an agreement to set up joint asylum processing sites and restrict migrant moves within the bloc, but EU leaders made clear that virtually all their pledges would be carried out by member states on a "voluntary basis". "The outcome of the summit tells us something about the severity of the situation," said Jan von Gerich, chief analyst at Nordea in Helsinki.

Germany's 10-year bond yield rose 2.5 basis points to 0.34pc, off one-month lows hit this week around 0.3pc.
