Last but not least: Daily news in Arabic
In Germany, ARD is launching a compact news format for refugees—in English and Arabic. It is available online and updated twice a day.
Since Tuesday, Tagesschau has also been offering its short format "Tagesschau in 100 seconds" in English and Arabic. All of the reports in the foreign-language version are accompanied by English or Arabic picture panels. German opponents of asylum are furious about this. ARD is responding to the wave of refugees with this format and wants to offer more "service for immigrants in Germany".
It is also exciting to see what the channel presents as important news for refugees: The foreign-language short program shows different content than the "Tagesschau in 100" seconds in German. For refugees, the first day of broadcasting included reports on Pegida demonstrations, terror suspects arrested in Alsdorf and the joint fight between France and the USA against the Islamic State.
