#WTF - Putins Gasfalle

Our hunger for energy is enormous. The decision has been made to phase out coal and nuclear power. The solution: natural gas - especially from Russia. For decades, Germany has maneuvered itself into the dependency of an autocracy. A look at history shows that Russia uses its energy resources as political leverage. "#WTF" - What the Fact? - explores the question: How deep is Germany in the gas trap?

#WTF - Corona aus dem Labor?

Is the new SARS CoV 2 coronavirus man-made or is it of natural origin? Even three years after the outbreak of the pandemic, there is no final proof for one or the other theory. Even though a natural jump is considered highly likely, there remains room for speculation.

The laboratory hypothesis in particular has had a steep career in the last three years: From the shallows of the Internet to the White House press briefing. ZDFinfo's "#What the Fact: Corona from the Lab?" explores the development of the lab theory and traces its political reach.
