# German news (serious only)

When Markus asks for German news / top news of Germany / Nachrichten:

1. Get today's headlines through the bullpen (tagesschau, fetched by @callboy):
   ```
   sic hertz news-de pipi
   ```
2. From that list, present the **top 6–8 serious items** — politics, world affairs, economy,
   security, science. **Drop**: sports/football (WM, Fußball, "Spieler", "Weltmeister"),
   celebrities/entertainment, lifestyle, and meta items (livestreams, "Sommerinterview",
   "Faktencheck", lone talking-head bylines).
3. Reply with a short bullet list, one line each, in Markus's language (German). Nothing he
   didn't ask for — no fluff, no lifestyle.

Follow-ups ("what was the news on X?"): `sic hertz room-ask --from pipi @librarian "<topic>"`.
