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.

Newz of the World

NEWZ095 Anti-Vaxxers are Anti-Tourists

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.

NEWZ094 He’s great with flies

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.

NEWZ093 Lawn and Order

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.

NEWZ092 He’s definitely going for the silver

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.

NEWZ091 Boring is back

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.

NEWZ090 He’s just a poor boy from a poor family

So we're back! After a super long break of almost four years we decided to continue this podcast in one way or another. Certainly not on a weekly basis but the upcoming US elections are going to be something we want to comment on at least in the coming months to get a grip on what the world is going to face and what the implications are going to be for all of us.

NEWZ089 Torches and pitchforks

After ages we have met in Berlin to at least give a few impressions of this crazy year. So we go through a list of countries that made newz this year eventually ending with the USA where we try to find words for something where it seems impossible to find words for.

NEWZ088 We’re gonna miss him when he’s gone

Still not on a weekly schedule but steadily improving, that's us: another newz show focuses on the world's events and we have again collected a lot of interesting stories this week.

NEWZ087 Archives of Repressive Bodies

After having summarised the events in the time we couldn't bring you the NEWZ in our last show, today we are back on track, covering the most recent events and tragedies. Though the tragedies are numerous, there are also good news to report. Have a listen!

NEWZ086 Enough Reason To Go Postal

So it's been a while and we're sorry to have let you waited so long, dear listeners. But here we are again with season 2 of the Newz of the World. We browse Wikipedia's history records to summarise what has happened since we left you and try to get a grip on what was important, interesting and noteworthy.

NEWZ085 Cuba invented the podcast

As the summer sun warms Europe, US air strikes hit northern Iraq. Israel and Gaza continue to be unable to reach a cease fire.

NEWZ084 Passing Gas

This is the first time Newz of the World is inviting a correspondent to the show to get a better look at things. We are welcoming Daniel González from Bogota to join us for the first time to talk about all things Columbia and other South American aspects. In addition to this focus, we are touching the tragic end of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 and the developing story of the war between Israel and the Gaza strip. Unfortunately, our connection with Daniel was quite flaky so that the show might lack a certain flow as we had to deal with dropouts and breaks, but the managed to produce a proper result that leaves out most of the interruptions.

NEWZ083 Colombia Special

This week Mark reports from beyond the ring of Moscow. We look at that state of the city, infrastructure, and more. In Eastern Ukraine clashes and an air strike have left governments pointing fingers at each other. Over in Iraq the Kurdish Army has taken several key oil fields. More death and destruction surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict. Doctors Without Borders, meanwhile, have released a rare critical report about global relief organizations. Lastly today, the EU Commission says goodbye to Barroso and hello to President Juncker.

NEWZ082 Beyond The Ring

As the World Cup heads towards the quarter final round, another infrastructure collapse occurs in Belo Horizonte. Meanwhile a new investigative report shows the Brazilian weapons industry is booming thanks to big domestic security spending. Over in Norway the government has announced it will close its online voting experiment. Down in Papua New Guinea a court has ruled that Palm Oil Companies must get out of town. A prestigious human rights award goes to an Egyptian lawyer who has been jailed by the last three presidents. Visualizations using NASA satellite information show how in many US cities the air has gotten cleaner over the past 10 years. A run on the banks in Bulgaria has led to EU Commission intervention. And finally this week's NEWZ Source: Science Magazine's Weekly Podcast.
