7. After An Attempted Coup

What can the UK learn from Germany?

What can the UK learn from Germany? In Berlin, 大象传媒 disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring meets a whistleblower who stopped writing for a conspiracy theory newspaper in his country because he feared it was becoming more radical.
