German scribe gets visa

Germany鈥檚 foreign minister says Russia has granted entry to the World Cup for a German journalist who exposed systematic doping in Russian athletics, reversing a decision last week that angered German officials. German public broadcaster ARD said Hajo Seppelt鈥檚 visa to report on the World Cup was declared invalid last week on the grounds that he was on a list of people who are 鈥減ersona non grata鈥. Officials, including Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, publicly pressed Russia to reconsider. Yesterday, Maas tweeted: 鈥淩ussian side has just informed us that @hajoseppelt can enter the country at least for the World Cup.鈥
