Corona Update — Trump vs. GOP — The Biden Cabinet — Senate Runoffs — China and the Uygurs
So it looks as if the US elections are finally decided and although Trump will still use the last days of his presidency to cause maximum harm to the institutions and continues to claim fraudulent elections in order to secure donations from his base, Joe Biden will in fact be the next president of the USA and the farce that the Trump presidency has been will finally be over end of next January. We discuss what the relationship of Trump and the GOP will be in the future, what the cabinet of Joe Biden will be like and if there is a chance the democrats get control of the US senate.

Election Aftermath — The Angry Duck — Supreme Court decisions — Poland and Hungary — Brexit
So here we are for another instalment of Newz of the World in which we again look at the fallout of the US elections at a stage where finally the president starts accepting the outcome without publicly conceding or changing tone. But we look at the upcoming cabinet appointments of the Biden administration, the candidates of the upcoming senate election runoffs in Georgia and the role the of the Supreme Court. We also widen our view a bit and talk about Poland and Hungary's role in the EU and the disaster that is going to be the final step of Brexit and the end of the year.

The US election is - kind of - over and we discuss the fallout and the implications
The curse is broken and Trump is defeated. At least that's what the numbers are telling us but everybody knows that this won't be the end of the process and we are looking for some weird and probably even entertaining or scary weeks until the new president of the United States will be sworn in. Tim and Mark discuss what happened, have a good time laughing about the weirdest press conference ever and wonder what the implications of this election will be on the US and the rest of the world.

The Eve of the Election that will define everything
So it's election time and Mark and Tim come together for a last view on what might happen in the coming days in terms of the US presidential and the Senate race and how we and what the aftermath might look like. No predictions because in the end we are just as scared as you and have no clue what will happen.

Trump gets COVID-19 — Mark sent his vote — A look at the polls — The Senate Race — Supreme Court Hearings — Kamala Harris — Workers Party of Korea turns 75 — Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict Nagorno-Karabakh
We are getting closer to the the US Presidential and Congress elections and so we are going to look at what Trumps COVID-19 infection might do to the race, what the state of the Senate race is and how the Supreme Court hearings might influence things. We also spend some time on looking at Kamala Harris' role as a vice presidential candidate and if she might be the successor to Joe Biden if he wins and now and refuses to do a second term. We also look at the North Korean Workers Party and the new and old conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg — The US Senate Race — Electoral College — Moria Camp — Covid Situation
Here we go again and we continue to look at US policitics primarily. The US is mourning the loss of Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg which was also an icon of the left. And of course the Republicans are now trying to fill the open seat ahead of the elections. We explain what's going on and what this is important (or not). We briefly discuss the embaressing situation of the refugees on Lesbos and how we deal with the Corona reality.
