The SPD only recently announced their candidate for Chancellor in the 2021 Federal Election: Olaf Scholz. Will he be able to catch up with the other candidates? What has his approach been so far? The heute-show can’t help but poke fun.

A candidate for the chancellorship who is somehow involved in the CumEx scandal and can't seem to remember anything... Maybe not the best choice after all?

In this video, the heute-show's Till Reiners takes aim at disposable cups — and shows how many resources are needed to produce them every year.

The latest climate report gives little hope for saving the Earth from global warming, but a renowned climate researcher still sees a small chance. Till gives a bit more info in this segment.

Big oil would prefer that consumers feel responsible for preventing global warming — specifically, through being “critical consumers.” But do we really know which groceries are good or bad for the environment?

Till wraps up his segment on climate change, emphasizing the importance of introducing new policies and regulations rather than so much responsibility being placed on each individual.

For this heute-show segment, Lutz van der Horst asks people whether they are already heating their homes despite the energy crisis. He then realizes that if he is going to judge them for wanting to stay warm, he will need to show that he can handle the cold.

A blast from the past: With his single „Was soll das?" ("What's This All About?"), German musician Herbert Grönemeyer reached number three on the charts in 1988. Viel Spaß!

Herbert Grönemeyer is a German musician, music producer, singer, and actor. Here is the single "Mensch" from his album of the same name, which remains the best selling album in the history of German pop music.

Herbert Grönemeyer's song "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" was the official anthem for the 2006 World Cup hosted by Germany.

This song tells the story of a deaf girl who plays music at high volume because she can only enjoy it when she feels it in her stomach and the floor trembles. Her neighbors are less enthusiastic.

Henning May from the band AnnenMayKantereit sings a revamped version of their song "Tommi" together with singer-songwriter Ina Müller.
