Censuur
In this first episode of season eight, Arjen examines current developments in the field of censorship in Europe, in response to the EU vs. Disinfo website. Furthermore, the AIVD (General Intelligence and Security Service) got the hack of the century, we support Klaas Dijkhoff and we explain the statements of Pete Hoekstra about the Netherlands.
Groene stroom
According to recent statistics, two-thirds of the Dutch population uses green electricity, but when we look into how sustainable Dutch energy really is, it appears that we still have a long way to go. We also send out a donor alarm every month, Nieuwsuur says sorry and many temp agencies turn out to discriminate.
Olympische Winterspelen
Live from the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Tex de Wit presents a concept to organize the money-wasting Olympic Games more efficiently. Also, it is cold, the norovirus has broken out, sports coaches are starting to working with comms and in the Netherlands fraud with dairy cows is being committed on a large scale.
Boeddhisme
Two million Dutch people have a Buddha statue in their house and attach spiritual value to it, but do we actually know what Buddhism exactly means? Furthermore, it is the week in which Halbe Zijlstra resigned and in which Oxfam lost hundreds of donors.
Referendum
The consultative referendum has been abolished and the municipal elections are on their way. Because everyone deserves a nice election poster, we are launching an app with which you can create one: PosterToaster. Furthermore, Sven Kramer was angry, the Netherlands is a narcostate and Transavia pilots strike.
Gemeenteraadsleden
The municipal elections are coming, but many municipal councilors are overloaded by work. We also look at the Berlaymont monster, the excavations at the North / South line, the character by Stef Blok and a sneezing Thierry Baudet.
De wiv
This week is the referendum on the Wiv, the new Intelligence and Security Services Act. The government is prepared to use all means to convince voters of the importance of the law.
China
Chinese president Xi Jinping is seen as a new world leader. Who is this man? He will remain president for the rest of his life and is working on a credit system where everything about everyone in China is recorded. Furthermore: election results, everyone is angry with Russia and Fashion House Rutte.
Rashonden
Many pedigree dogs suffer from their breed. On Rashondenwijzer.nl you can see per breed which defects occur most often. These dog breeds were not created by evolution, but by man. That "fashion" of variety keeps on developing. Furthermore: Groningen, presidential elections in Egypt and Sunday with Lubach ft. Famke Louise.
Bye bye Facebook

Married at First Sight
Married at First Sight, the extreme social experiment where four couples will meet for the very first time on their wedding day. Three top relationship experts are controlling this radical experiment involving eight Aussie singles, using a mix of neuroscience and psychology to try to create four perfect matches. Relationship psychologist John Aiken has interviewed single applicants across the nation and built a detailed personal profile for each one. Neuropsychotherapist Dr Trisha Stratford compiled the detailed neurological profiles. And psychologist Sabina Read met the applicants in their own environment to prepare to pair them with the most suitable partners. These four extremely brave and hopeful couples will face the most terrifying wedding imaginable – tying the knot with someone they have never laid eyes on.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
Poppa's House
Poppa's House revolves around a legendary talk radio host and happily divorced "Poppa" who has his point of view challenged at work when a new female co-host is hired, and at home where he finds himself still parenting his adult son, a brilliant dreamer who is trying to pursue his passion while being a responsible father and husband.
