We received a wide range of questions from our users: some were highly technical, such as whether Lenovo might release a PC running Linux instead of Windows in the future, or how loud the take-off of a Boeing 747-400 is in decibels. Others asked who is responsible for traffic lights in Luxembourg, or even whether Jean Asselborn might be an extraterrestrial.
The first topic of the day focused on missing persons reports and how procedures work. There is no single general answer, however. “When a person is reported missing and how quickly a public appeal is issued depends on many factors”, the article explains.
Another user wanted to know what happens to money or items seized, for example, from a drug dealer. Once confiscated, items may be sold, provided they are legal. The money can either be returned to the owner or transferred to the state, where it is used for various purposes. Full details are outlined in the article.
In the final piece, the team looked into what drivers are legally allowed to tow. The specific question was whether a car permitted to tow two tonnes can pull a trailer registered for 3.5 tonnes. The ministry’s answer is clear: yes, this is allowed, as long as the vehicle’s maximum towing capacity is not exceeded and the driver holds the appropriate licence for that class of trailer.
RTL is a partner of EDMO Belux, a project aimed at combating misinformation and fake news online. RTL collaborates with partners from Luxembourg, including the University of Luxembourg and the Centre for Political Education (ZpB), as well as organisations in Belgium and across Europe.
The Belux project also includes organisations such as Lie Detectors, which train journalists and school staff to help students better identify misinformation online.
Part of the Luxembourg initiative is the Safety First campaign, which uses short video clips to raise awareness about online risks. These videos are available on a dedicated Safety First page and are also regularly broadcast on television.
The EDMO project is co-funded by the European Union. Responsibility for the content lies with the independent consortium itself.
