Topic and Guests of the New Episode on Sunday - Europe's defence readiness under scrutiny after Munich Security Conference

This Sunday, ARD’s talk show hosted by Caren Miosga will focus on Europe’s defence readiness. The discussion comes just after the Munich Security Conference, where global security challenges took centre stage. Guests will include politicians, analysts, and journalists to examine the shifting international landscape.

The Munich Security Conference begins this weekend, bringing together leaders to address pressing security concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently declared that the existing international order has collapsed in its current form. His statement sets the tone for debates on Europe’s future defence strategy.

Miosga’s show, titled *Europe After the Security Conference—Conditionally Ready for Defense?*, will feature a panel of high-profile guests. Armin Laschet, CDU chair of the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee, will join the discussion. Alongside him will be Nicole Deitelhoff, a professor of political science and international relations expert. Christian Mölling, a political scientist and security analyst, will also contribute his insights. Gordon Repinski, editor-in-chief of *POLITICO Germany*, rounds out the panel. Together, they will explore Europe’s preparedness for emerging threats and the implications of a fractured global order.

The talk show will air as leaders and experts reflect on the outcomes of the Munich Security Conference. Viewers can expect a detailed examination of Europe’s defence capabilities and the challenges ahead. The discussion will highlight how political and security strategies may need to adapt in response to recent shifts.
