- In the autumn of 1944, US forces advanced into the Hurtgen Forest, which was the last obstacle to crossing the Rhine River and into the heart of Germany. It turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles of the war, lasting until the winter of 1945. It was estimated that more than 30,000 US and German soldiers were killed, and tens of thousands more wounded, before the battle was over. The fighting was so fierce and bloody that the area became known to those who fought in it as "The Death Factory".

- Australia, California, Siberia, Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Amazonia...: for more than a decade, the litany of "megafires" has been in the news, so frequently now that one catastrophe chases the previous one in people's minds. Many have forgotten that in 2016, in the oil-rich city of Fort McMurray (Canada), uncontrollable forest fires reached the city, causing the evacuation of almost all of the 100,000 inhabitants and the destruction of thousands of homes. Each year, these fires destroy more than 350 million hectares of forest, six times the size of France, and are increasingly spreading to inhabited areas. In this global investigation, Cosima Dannoritzer meets firefighters, scientists and fire experts from Europe to Indonesia, including the United States and Canada.

- The Greater Tokyo Area is the world's most populous metropolitan region, and it is continuing to grow at a fast pace. The cost of housing is astronomical. This forces hundreds of thousands of people to commute long distances to work; their daily travel time can be several hours. Urban-planning solutions are urgently needed to prevent Tokyo from choking on its own growth. Strategies include raising density, promoting shared housing and micro-homes, and investing in 'urban villages', neighborhoods where people can live, work and spend their leisure time. That would reduce the number of commuters and improve the quality of life.

- The Russian war of aggression in the Ukraine is not only waged with bombs, rockets and rocket-propelled grenades, but also in the media. It is a "propaganda battle" internally and externally. Russia spreads targeted disinformation in order to systematically devalue news. At the same time, their own population should be convinced that they want to liberate the Ukraine from Nazis. The Ukraine's narrative wants to emotionally mobilize its own population and strengthen resistance to the aggressor. Spindoctors are of particular importance in the propaganda battle over the Ukraine. On the Ukrainian side, it's often influencers like Oleksiy Arestovych. On the Russian side, Vladimir Solovyov, Putin's snout, is supposed to sell the war to his own people with his daily TV talks.
