This article is really sparse on the backstory. Are they specifically banning Turkish officials from political speech in Germany, or is it a broad measure against foreign officials?

Two Turkish government ministers tried to hold politicial rallies in Germany. They were denied by the municipalities - federal government claims to have nothing to do with it - because they allegedly mischaracterized the size and nature of the rallies when applying for the permit. There is a bit of a mess going on rn because Turkey detained a high-profile Turko-German journalist for "promoting terrorism", i.e. reporting from Turkey, and there has been a bit of a scandal with DITIB officials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish-Islamic_Union_for_Religious_Affairs) spying on Kurds and dissidents etc. in Germany.

Turkish government influencing Turkish heritage people in Germany is a thorny issue, the Turkish government has at times made statements to the tune of them not being supposed to feel German etc., and Germans are unthrilled by the occasional clashes between Turks and Kurds here etc. There's a Turkish fascist organization, the Grey Wolves, that also pops up every once in a while. There are a bunch of people who have both Turkish and German, or only Turkish, passports in Germany, and they are apparently an important voting bloc for Turkish elections.

In 2000 about 10% of the prison population had active Tb. The vast majority of cases of Tb are latent. Prisoners are 58 times more likely to die of Tb than the general population.

Percentage of Latent Tb in Various Russian Professions:
Primary health care providers: 39.1%
Medical students: 8.7%
TB hospital health providers: 46.9%
TB laboratory workers: 61.1%

The WHO recognized this as a serious problem and began addressing it in the 2000s and the rates have gone down since then but still remain astronomical compared to here.

How, just how, does a nominally industrialized country get 60% of their lab techs infected with the organism they're working on. Are they diagnosing TB by sputum taste??

A fugitive murderer in Germany apparently posted on 4chan while on the run. So I went there to check it out or whatever, god knows what I thought I was doing, and less than a minute in I see a video of someone getting murdered. What a shithole.

Doesn't that ignore the missiles the Russians have driving around in those huge trucks? Or was that a Cold War thing they don't do anymore?

Without your immune system you're a sack of highly concentrated nutrients that conveniently keep themselves moist and warm. Everyfuckingthing will come and take a bite.
