Investigative Journalism
On March 10, we reported on the case of six-year-old deaf boy Joseph Rodriguez, who was deported to Colombia together with his mother Lesly Ramirez Gutierrez and his younger brother from the United States. Now the case is moving. The chances that Joseph and his family will be allowed to return to the United States ...
Tehran, March 21, 2026. Iranians are celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year. People are praying in the streets, children run through the morning rain, Eid al-Fitr hangs over the country like a final greeting. And while the faithful roll out their carpets, bombs are again falling somewhere over Khuzestan.
There are moments when, as a journalist, you pause. Not out of uncertainty, but because what you are reading is so open and so brazen that you wonder whether the world has simply stopped feeling shame. Brooks Potteiger is a pastor. Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, Nashville. And he is the spiritual advisor to Pete Hegseth ...
In the White House, there is talk of ongoing discussions, of productive contacts, of movement, of a process that has supposedly not reached an end. In Tehran, at the same time, it sounds like open mockery. An Iranian military spokesperson publicly declares that the Americans are now negotiating only with themselves. That, on this Wednesday ...
As an investigative journalist, you sometimes ask yourself why you put yourself through all of this. The long nights, bucks - what is that? -, the constant feeling of writing against a wall while smiling, you are fighting alone out there. And then Trump sits in front of the cameras and delivers more contradictions in a few minutes than an entire news archive.
Russia is shifting its export route. Not openly, not directly, but through transfers at sea. Tankers meet off coasts, transfer cargo, and then part ways again. What arrives afterward has a different origin, at least on paper. The sanctions remain, the trade continues. The pressure comes from multiple directions. The European Union has enforced its embargoes, ...
Inside the Pentagon, a system is taking shape that stands out not because of its missiles, but because of what controls them. Anduril Industries and Palantir Technologies are working on the software for the planned Golden Dome, a missile defense shield worth around 185 billion dollars. What is being built here is not a traditional defense project. It is a digital control center for military decisions.
Hungary’s anti-terror unit stops two armored vehicles, seven men are detained, millions in cash and gold are seized. What looks like an operation against organized crime falls apart upon closer inspection. Documents in order, transports authorized, no weapons. And yet an operation follows that holds neither legally nor was it cleanly prepared operationally.
Ruslan Lavryk was 51 years old when Russian troops took over the largest nuclear power plant in Europe in the spring of 2022. A place that was supposed to stand for stability became a military base within a few days. Ukrainian defense had been broken, Russian soldiers moved between reactor blocks, laid mines and searched buildings. Many employees fled Enerhodar ...
While oil prices surged in March 2026 because of the American-Israeli attacks on Iran, a spectacular claim spread across the internet: Barron Trump, the 19 year old son of US President Donald Trump, had bought oil worth 30 million dollars only two days before the war began. Shortly afterward he allegedly made around 20 million dollars ...
Robert Swan Mueller III was born on August 7, 1944 in Manhattan, grew up on the Main Line of Philadelphia, went to Princeton, to Vietnam, to Quantico, to Washington. He died Friday evening at the age of 81 from complications of Parkinson’s, which had been diagnosed in 2021. His wife Ann, by his side since 1966, ...
Nearly ten years after the protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline, the legal reckoning has struck the environmental organization Greenpeace with full force. A judge in North Dakota has announced that he will order Greenpeace to pay an estimated 345 million dollars in damages - a sum that, according to the organization, it cannot possibly raise.
War is not the opposite of peace. It is its condition. Peace is only war resting - holding its breath, counting its shots, searching for its next pretext. We call it stability. We call it normality. We call it everything except what it is: a pause in killing. Fadi stands ...
You would have to be blind not to see it: the headline writes itself while it lies to you. Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution loses - that sounds like a final defeat, a legal collapse, a game that is over. But an emergency ruling is not a game. An emergency ruling is a pause in the game. The confusion is no accident. It is ...
The Pentagon is drawing consequences from a defeat in court – but not in the way many had expected. Instead of fully restoring journalists’ access, the Department of Defense is moving them out of the building. The so-called “Correspondents’ Corridor,” for decades the workplace of the press inside the Pentagon, is closed. In the future, journalists are to work in an external facility on the premises.
Maximilian Krah has spoken. Trump offers Germany more than it has received since 1813. Anyone who does not recognize that is stupid. Anyone who rejects it is anti German. The political elite is both. It must be replaced. You read that twice. Not because it is complex.
