Vienna (OTS) – Christoph Feurstein will present the following contributions in “Thema” on Monday, March 11, 2024, at 9:10 p.m. on ORF 2:
Car confiscation – what does the speeding penalty mean?
“The greatest property we have is our life, not our car,” says Sabine Peterbauer. The Salzburg woman lost her daughter Kati in a car accident four years ago because a speeding car crashed into her vehicle without braking. For years, Ms. Peterbauer has called for harsher penalties for speeding. Since March 1st, speeders can have their cars confiscated and confiscated. A controversial measure. Pia Bichara and Gerhard Janser ask whether this punishment can save lives. They also look for answers on well-known speeding routes.
70 years of show business – Peter Kraus turns 85
“As I get older, I’m a bit of a coward, I don’t let the old man in,” says Peter Kraus, the icon of German-speaking rock ‘n’ roll. With hits like “Sugar Baby” and “When Teenagers Dream,” he is the German Elvis of the 1950s and the idol of an entire generation. In a few days the singer and actor will celebrate his 85th birthday, his 70th stage anniversary and his 55th wedding anniversary. He is going on tour with his new album “Idole”. Susanne Kainberger visited the man with the most famous hip swing in the country in his weekend house in Styria and spoke to him about the ups and downs of his career and the secret of his “eternal youth”.
Women in men’s jobs
“Better put on make-up and do what other real women do.” 29-year-old bodywork technician Michelle Hinterkörner hears sentences like this often. But she prefers to get her hands dirty in a car repair shop in Linz. As a woman, she still belongs to a minority, as 90 percent of people who complete such an apprenticeship are men. Why is it that women are still a rarity in men’s jobs? Is it because of the rigid structures, the lack of female role models, or are women still given less credit than men? “Thema” also interviewed a civil engineer and women in the armed forces about their experiences.
Reconstructions after cancer – the difficult path to a new nose
“It was a tough diagnosis: my nose has to be cut off!” Karin Hofmeister is one of around 40 people in Austria every year whose nose has to be amputated. Mostly because of cancer, but accidents, infections or dog bites can also destroy the nose. In such cases, younger patients in particular opt for nasal reconstruction, one of the most difficult surgical challenges. “We show the patients mercilessly what torture they will face, but 90 to 95 percent of patients still want the reconstruction,” says Sebastian Haack, head of facial plastic surgery at the Marienhospital in Stuttgart. It is one of the few centers that specializes in nasal reconstruction. Sylvia Unterdorfer accompanied those affected there for “Thema”.
