Then I walked past the EBU stand and there it was in the programme.

ORF Innovation, leading a partnership with the ARD Cloud Unit, EBU Technology and Innovation, and Schwartz Digits on a sovereign AI platform for public service media, with locally hosted language models, speech-to-text, text-to-speech and generative services.

NVIDIA and the EBU announcing hybrid cloud architectures built to European public media standards.

ATME, Scaleway and Qvest showing a full streaming workflow in jest to playback on European infrastructure.

Jahrhunderts.

Du kannst, du merkst es aber nicht, wenn du dich damit ja nicht auseinandersetzt, sondern, äh, wenn du also einfach nur noch damit gefüttert wirst, was bei ARD 20 Uhr Gong, ja, dir erzählt wird, dann hast du ja auch gar keine andere Perspektivmöglichkeit auf die Dinge, außer das, was dir das Staatsfernsehen ins Ohr brüllt.

Aber das ist ja, das ist ja noch nicht mal mehr nur die Tagesshow.

But the chancellor, who is fighting for his political survival amid dismal approval ratings, is confronting the limits of his ability to bring German society along in making sacrifices to defend against Russia.

Assessing the Saxony Anhalt returns this week, Mr. Merz invoked Mr. Putin, declaring that, "Twenty-five hundred kilometers east of here, there is particularly great joy over this election result, and that is surely no surprise when you see who has tried to promote and help bring about this election result." Most Germans, some fifty-six percent according to a poll released last week by the public broadcaster ARD, remain worried about Russia and support efforts to rebuild their military.

Support for Ukraine and acting against Russia is lower in the former East Germany, where many residents look back to the stability afforded by the communist system with nostalgia.

In ARD exit polls, only thirty-one percent of AfD voters in Saxony Anhalt called Russia a threat.

Mr. Putin, a German speaker and former KGB lieutenant colonel in East Germany, is particularly attuned to which divisive messages will resonate in Western societies.

Germany is not his first target.

The result shows how the AfD's growing electoral strength is testing Germany's established political barriers at both state and federal level.
