WELT Live

On WELT, German news never stops: bulletins throughout the day, special editions when big stories break, and live coverage of politics, business and the issues moving Germany, Europe and the world, such as the war in Ukraine.

Between bulletins come debate and opinion formats such as Duell des Tages and Meinungsfreiheit, and Deffner & Zschäpitz, the stock-market and economy talk with journalists Dietmar Deffner and Holger Zschäpitz. The schedule also offers reports, magazines and documentaries on science, finance and lifestyle, including space exploration, plus an on-screen ticker with stock-market indices in real time, handy for anyone who follows the markets.

WELT is the news channel of the Axel Springer group, publisher of the newspaper Die Welt, and is based in Berlin; until 2018 it was called N24. It is a good pick for anyone who wants to follow German news in German, with analysis and debate.
