1. Last night (Monday)....ARD/ZDF (the two public TV networks) did 2-to-3 minute updates/introductions of the Brit Cambridge professor....Jayson Arday....and his funeral.
Up to this point....they had simply not mentioned the guy or his falling-out over the thesis, or public negativity over the guy. If you asked Germans....I would imagine fewer than 2-percent of society had some idea of who the guy was.
The fact that Brits had been hearing the story for almost four weeks? Yeah....that was the odd part of the introduction.
So ARD and ZDF tried to be mixed/fair....over the guy, and his issues. The bulk of his fake stories? Never mentioned.
Germans trying to connect for/against the guy? Marginally there, and maybe ARD/ZDF are simply trying to tell a one-time story, and never engage upon this ever again.
2. E-scooter accidents getting hyped news-wise?
Yeah.....2025's accident rate was announced....16,496 accidents were noted (meaning folks had to go off to a hospital).
There's now talk of safety mandates possibly coming.....forcing folks to wear helmets, and maybe setting a age limit.
I sat and looked 2021 rates....near 5,535 folks going to a hospital.
If you walk around Wiesbaden now....you tend to notice a fair number of juveniles/young-adults....on E-scooters. Maybe one person out of forty....wearing a helmet.
