Inside the AfD - How Germany's far-right populist party operates

Lars used to be a police officer. Together with his wife Sandy and their young son, he moved from Germany to a remote Scottish island in the Atlantic. Colonsay has only 120 inhabitants, a shop and a café - and not much else. Lars was keen to escape big city life and pitched the idea to his Scottish wife, Sandy. She agreed to relocate their family and move to Colonsay. The remote island is where she grew up; she and Lars even got married there a few years ago. Lars is a lively, sociable type. Will the solitude and almost eerie tranquility on the island in winter suit him? Lars’ father-in-law runs an oyster farm on Colonsay. He’d been looking for someone to take over the business and now Lars is there to help. It’s a tough business. In summer, life feels like a holiday. But in winter, ‘the demons come’, as the islanders say. Lars, too, is struggling with his past. It’s only light for a few hours a day in winter, and the island is often battered by

Could Germany become a hotspot for the global markets of the future? Young startup founders are using cutting-edge innovations to tackle tomorrow's biggest challenges. They're not just dreaming about the future — they're building it. With humanoid robots, climate-friendly chocolate and next-generation semiconductors, they just might transform entire industries. David Reger, founder of NEURA Robotics, is developing intelligent humanoid robots with his team in Metzingen, Germany — not to replace people, but to assist them: in the home, in caregiving and in dangerous situations. Speed and efficiency are the focus for brothers Sebastian and Daniel Schall, the minds behind Black Semiconductor. Their chip technology combines electrical and optical data transmission — a small revolution in the semiconductor market. In a purpose-built high-tech production facility in Aachen, Germany, international experts are laying the foundations for tomorrow's energy efficiency — creating a cornerstone for artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and the digital transformation. Twins Sara and Max Marquart, founders of Planet A Foods, are exploring the future of what we eat. Their goal: to complement cocoa and coffee — crops increasingly affected by

Why do people in Europe refer to them as "Arabic numerals" when they were invented in India? How could ten tiny symbols conquer the world? And how did zero change the course of history? The Western world calls them "Arabic numerals," while in the Arab world, today's European notation is thought of as being Western. What is "Arabic" about the symbols that traveled from India to Europe and on to the rest of the world? Following the trail of our numbers leads us to Baghdad.

That had emerged from the so-called "dust tables" used by Maghrebi merchants around the Mediterranean. From Europe to America, and from the dawn of modern science to the computer age — the fascinating history of these ten small digits is
