Welcome to episode 207 of the FAZ objection podcast.

After much hesitation, the federal government has decided to now also supply heavy weapons to Ukraine.

Germany also wants to train the Ukrainian soldiers on the Gepard tanks.

Will this drag us into the war?

And if so, could Russia then drop bombs on Berlin?

International law expert Alexander Wentker explains where the line to war is drawn and what the consequences of being a war party are.

So much for international law – which, as is well known, plays no role in Putin's world.

We also discuss the BSI's warning about virus software from the Russian manufacturer Kaspersky, which had repercussions before the administrative courts.

The conversation with the Berlin criminal defense lawyer Ali B. Norouzi is about the documentation of the main criminal hearing: Until now, the judges have had to take notes themselves when hearing witnesses, the traffic light now wants to introduce audio and video recordings.

We also talk about the investigations into the ex-transport minister Andreas Scheuer (CSU), who concluded the contracts on the car toll without waiting for the judgment of the European Court of Justice.

The question now is whether he gave false information to the Bundestag investigative committee.
