“Tagesthemen” presenter Aline Abboud is taking maternity leave
The presenter soon swaps the “Daily Topics” table with the changing table. She is represented by a “Tagesschau” colleague.
In addition to Abboud, the “Tagesthemen” moderator team consists of Ingo Zamperoni and Jessy Wellmer (Caren Miosga’s successor). According to the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), which is responsible for ARD, Abboud will be represented by “Tagesschau” spokeswoman Julia-Niharika Sen. The second editor-in-chief of ARD-aktuell, Helge Fuhst, will also step in.
Sen was quoted by NDR as saying: “I think it’s great to soon be able to look more often at the exciting stories behind the current – often complicated and sometimes cumbersome – news. And I’m looking forward to discussing the topics we cover in the “Tagesschau “We can often only briefly outline, to go into more depth, to make it even more understandable and, where things get difficult, to follow up.”
