Why agents still meet in person and why the Russian secret service has reintroduced the good old typewriter, explains a secret service expert in “Today important”.
Espionage in the middle of Berlin: The Briton David S. is said to have sold explosive documents to the Russian secret service. Now the 57-year-old has been blown and is in custody. The secret service expert Prof. Wolfgang Krieger confirms in the podcast that such processes are quite normal and that agents still meet “in real life”. There is a high risk of data being intercepted online. But some documents don’t even end up on the web.
Blown up after a secret meeting?
Krieger also talks about how the Brit could have been exposed. According to this, there was probably a meeting with an employee of the Russian embassy. “The Berlin embassy of the Russian Federation is particularly large, it is estimated that perhaps 30 percent of them are actually secret service employees,” said Krieger.

Podcast “important today”
Sure, strong opinion, on the 12: “Today important” is not just a news podcast. We set topics and initiate debates – with poise and sometimes uncomfortably. This is what host Michel Abdollahi and his team speak out for stern– and RTL reporters: inside with the most exciting people from politics, society and entertainment. They let all voices have their say, the quiet and the loud. Anyone who hears “important today” starts the day well informed and can have a sound say.
Carbon neutral steel?
As part of the stern-In the series “Neustart Deutschland”, presenter Michel Abdollahi also talks to reporter Rolf-Herbert Peters about his research on the green restructuring of German industry. Using the example of the Thyssenkrupp company, Peters explains how heavy industry could also become climate-neutral – and what kind of political support is needed to achieve this.
Rethinking the economy
A rethinking in the industry is already taking place, said Peters. Companies know that they can neither induce climate-conscious consumers to buy their products if they are not green, nor can they attract them as specialists. “The Fridays for Future have already made up a lot,” says Peters: “These are the customers of the future.”
