Monday evening. A new edition of the program “Viertel nach Acht – the talk that makes the headlines”. New topics, new exciters, new arguments!
The guests on Monday:
FDP member of the Bundestag and digital expert Mario Brandenburg, Publicist Hans-Ulrich Jörges, ex-government spokesman Béla Anda, BILD deputy Paul Ronzheimer and BILD presenter Nena Schink.
What is special about the “Viertel nach Acht” format: The guests determine the topics themselves – everyone brings a “excitement” with them, which is then discussed by everyone.
Tougher action against Lukashenko
BILD Vice-Vice President Paul Ronzheimer starts and calls for tougher sanctions against the Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko, the “last dictator in Europe”. Lukashenko provokes the European Union, said Ronzheimer, by allowing refugees to be flown in and then sent back to Poland.
“What makes me really angry: That we didn’t care about Lukashenko.” Because: Only when the refugees are at the border will the topic come back. His conclusion: “We have to act much tougher, much more severely, with much larger sanctions against Lukashenko.”
Dare to do more digitization
FDP member of the Bundestag Mario Brandenburg denounces the lack of understanding for digitization. The fact that Union politicians are calling for a cell phone ban at meetings results from a lack of understanding of digitization, according to Brandenburg.
▶ ︎ “The problem is not the technology, the problem is the people.”
The same twist can be seen in artificial intelligence. It is often said that it discriminates against people, which is wrong. Because: “People discriminate, not technology.” However, this is often used as an opportunity to regulate or even ban technology.
“I wonder how we want to get on in this country if we throw technology on the stake at every little thing,” by interpreting our own mistakes into them. It scares him if the CDU in particular comes up with such “brief solutions”.
Put an end to the 2-G rule
Nena Schink is upset about the 2-G rule in Düsseldorf. The city recently decided that from November 1st, unvaccinated people will no longer be able to go to theaters, operas and museums.
“This is complete madness,” said Schink. In Holland you can spend the weekend without a mask “and here we want to continue teasing the unvaccinated.” And: “I don’t want a two-class society. And today I have to say: Shame on the city of Düsseldorf for the two-G rule. “
