Corona in India, 100 days of US President Joe Biden and the Greens soaring – quite a few topics for a short talk.
Berlin – Sandra Maischberger’s talk show begins this week with an inventory of the United States after 100 days under Joe Biden’s presidency. Guests in the short opening round are taz journalist Ulrike Herrmann, Nena Schink from Bild-Zeitung and Thomas Gottschalk. The entertainer has the role of analyzing the psyche of the American population, while Hermann Biden’s efforts in social policy emphasize. Schink likes the role of neoliberals and criticizes Biden’s higher taxation of the rich, which would slow down the economy.
“Maischberger. die week “(ARD): No levers in the Navalny case
Sigmar Gabriel will then be responsible for a more in-depth analysis of the US President’s tenure to date. Compared to Donald Trump, Gabriel rates Biden as “quiet” and at the same time experienced in foreign policy. In foreign policy in particular, however, Europe has to adjust to a change in attention from the USA, because “the United States will become significantly less European; significantly stronger pacific ”. With this new formation of fronts, the Europeans should not push Russia further in the direction of China, despite the human rights violations. With regard to the situation of the opposition member Navalny, Gabriel sees Germany’s ability to act only to a limited extent: “Our levers are damn small”.
“Maischberger. die week “(ARD): Sigmar Gabriel speaks of” marriage market “
Next at “maischberger. die woche “(ARD) the decisions on the candidate for chancellor: discussed inside. “Actually we do something like that”, says Gabriel about the quarrels at the Union and speaks of a “marriage market” with regard to the election for the SPD chairmanship two years ago. The two chairmen Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans were only elected because half of the party members did not vote and half of the rest did not want Olaf Scholz. Gabriel couldn’t make his displeasure any clearer and in the current election campaign the statements of the former SPD chairman are unlikely to be of any help to the party.
The round of three from the beginning can then comment on the decision of the Greens. Ulrike Hermann calls Annalena Baerbock’s qualities the quick absorption of facts and her “very steep learning curve”. Nina Schink counters this by saying that the description is like that of a “good student” and speaks of her fear of the Greens, which could lead to left-wing participation in a green-red-red coalition. Arguments for what the problem would be with this “total failure for Germany”, however, remains the picture reporter guilty of.
“Maischberger. die woche “(ARD): Thomas Gottschalk has an opinion on #allesdichtmachen
The show continues to race through the topics. Next comes the debate about the #makeup all campaign. Thomas Gottschalk says he would probably have taken part in the action and then rowed back in shock if he had been asked. In addition, in Germany “any ability to discourse has been lost”. Hermann counters this by saying that no discussion was initiated here because the videos themselves did not provide any arguments and instead linked the corona measures with the mechanisms of a dictatorship.
“Maischberger. die week “(ARD): Drastic pictures from India
With a report by ARD correspondent Peter Hornung from India, the actors’ campaign is contrasted with drastic images. In Delhi, a metropolis of 20 million people, where there are only 18 vacant intensive care beds, people are dying in front of the hospitals. In a one-on-one conversation with Maischberger, the virologist Helga Rübsamen-Schaeff made it clear that not only the Indian mutant could be held responsible for the conditions, but above all the life situation of the people and the neglect of the contact restrictions.
In the end, it remains to be seen when easing can be expected in Germany and what the rights of vaccinated people could look like. Likewise, the question of whether the comeback broadcast of “Wetten dass ..?” Can take place in November, but at least Thomas Gottschalk remains “at a loss but hopeful”. (Jendrik Walendy)
