0:50 - The government's persistent attempts to revive the Belene NPP project - What are the latest news? What is the idea behind the Prime Minister's proposal that the Belene NPP be a "pan-Balkan" project? Do we need the Belene NPP? Is it possible to implement it on a fully market basis? What will be the consequences of restarting the project?

21:50 - The poisoning of a secret agent and his daughter in London (most likely by Russia) - Who was the agent in question and what is the connection to Russia? Is there any connection to the elections in Russia?

33:20 - Russian election results - What do the election results show about the mentality of the Russian voter? What is a state structure in terms of social mentality and public structure? How is Vladimir Putin using confrontations with the West to consolidate his power? Is there hope for change and reform in Russia?

45:36 - The scandal with Cambridge Analytica, the company that supposedly won Trump the election - What type of company is this and what does it do? Is it really scandalous that Trump used the services of such a company or is it standard practice in elections?

52:31 - The internal conflicts in the Democratic Party and the successes of the "right" of recent years put into context - Will we see a long-term shift of the political center to the right in the long term or is the recent right-wing populist reactions against the establishment in the US and Europe just a temporary phenomenon?
