An episode on a new and unexpected duo: President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam.
Covering the dramatically shifting security climate that brought about rapid political change, Joseph Aoun's leadership and the consensus that ushered in his presidency, Nawaf Salam's clean slate and the majority vote that guaranteed his prime minister-designation, and freeing local governance from the Doha Agreement's forced national unity paralysis.
With Sarah Yassine, architect and political activist.
