Bernd Riegert
Foreign correspondent for over 15 years in Europe and the US with a focus on migration, security policies and financial policies.
Germany's role in Europe and its unique union is Bernd's passion. What is Germany's role in the world? How are people affected by German and European policies? And what does the rest of the world say?
Bernd Riegert covered the fall of the wall in Berlin, witnessed 9/11 in Washington, D.C. and the enlargement of the EU in 2004. From the Conclave in Rom, to a refugee camp in Greece, from the summit of the presidents with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, to terror attacks in Brussels: To be where people talk and major things happen, is Bernd's main journalistic goal. As a correspondent in Berlin, he explains abstract policies and debunks myths about German and European policies. His new focus, due to the threat from Russia, is defence and security.
