In Germany, the former spy chief August Hanning has been arrested on suspicion of espionage, treason and obtaining classified information for a foreign power. It's described as "the biggest German spy scandal in recent history." Perfectly timed, Chris and I talked about another huge German spy scandal on Reichs and Republics last week: the Guillaume Affair. Listen/watch on all platforms.
