- A song racks up millions of streams. Radio stations love it. Audiences can't stop listening. But what if much of it wasn't made by a human? Australia's music charts have drawn a line in the sand, ruling that songs must be substantially human-made to qualify. But as technology rapidly evolves, for how long? We ask if rules like this protect musicians, copyright, identity, or something even more fundamental: the human connection behind a song. DW’s Brent Goff speaks to Hayleigh Bosher, Associate Professor in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel University of London, and Mark Mulligan, founder of MIDiA Research, which tracks the global music and entertainment business.

- Electric vehicle sales are surging. But Europe is still struggling to produce their most valuable component: the battery. Instead, it remains heavily dependent on Asian suppliers.
After a string of spectacular failures, the EU now is betting billions on a battery comeback. Its goal: reduce Europe’s reliance on China and build an industry of its own.
But factories alone won’t be enough. Europe also needs the critical raw materials that go into batteries—and still relies heavily on China to process many of them.
DW gained rare access to one of Europe’s newest battery gigafactories and travelled to the continent’s biggest lithium deposit to find out: Can Europe’s battery gamble pay off?

- What happens when we stop talking to each other? New research suggests we’re speaking hundreds of words less every day than we were just a few years ago. The decline may have profound consequences for how we form relationships and build communities. DW host Jared Reed speaks with author Dr Valeria Pfeifer, whose research shows we’re speaking around 338 fewer words per person per day, every year. Evolutionary psychologist Professor Robin Dunbar explains why conversation may be about much more than exchanging information – it’s one of the ways humans create community. And as face-to-face interaction gives way to texting, social media and video calls, they explore what we might lose when conversation becomes less common. Could fewer everyday conversations mean weaker relationships, greater loneliness and more divided communities? And if talking to other people is a skill, what happens when we stop practicing it?

How serious are the risks facing Germany today? What lessons have been learned from recent threats and emergencies? And is Germany – and its people - truly prepared for a worst-case scenario?
