Jauch makes efortless move to serious TV

ARD, one of Germany's two public broadcasting TV stations, featured this evening a new political talk show hosted by well-known TV personality Guenther Jauch.

The first show made for great viewing.

The panel included a former defence minister, the CEO of Springer publishing house, the mother of a Bundeswher soldier killed in Afghanistan, two opponents to the war in Afghanistan.

The programme dealt with the 9/11 attack and the role of German soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.

Earlier in the week the programme commissioned a survey on what Germans think of the Bundeswehr commitment in Afghanistan.

According to the survey two thirds of Germans would like to see an immediate withdrawal of their troops from Afghanistan.

Up to now Guenther Jauch has worked with RTL and been more associated with light entertainment.

The programme begins at 20.45 Irish time Sunday evenings.
