Everything you need to know about the polygraph
We dedicate this Labyrinth to the topic: detecting the lie. The two experienced polygraphists, Nikola Bozinovski and Mirjancho Atanasovski, explain everything we need to know about this device and, through simulation, show us what a polygraph test looks like. In addition, they brought the new Eye Lie Detect device to the studio with which we also did a simulation to show how it works. We also talked about other devices and ways to detect a lie, but also about the myth that we all believe that the polygraph can be faked. We also talked about whether and for which health conditions the device cannot be used, about the idea of testing the customs, as well as about the tricks that people used in an attempt to manipulate the results. The polygraphists explain in detail and scientifically why it is not possible to manipulate the device and say that the polygraph, apart from the security services and criminology, is more often used to clarify private and business issues.

Syria freed from dictator, but terrorism is still a threat
Interview with war reporter Bud Wichers
After 13 years of civil war, the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has fallen almost without a fight. The rebel HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) has taken power and is trying to make a peaceful transition. In the meantime, the US, Israel and Turkey are bombing places that are strongholds of ISIS, the Kurdish party or places that are suspected of having remnants of chemical weapons used by Assad. In this episode, we talk to war reporter Bud Wichers from the Netherlands who has been reporting from Syria since the very beginning of the uprising in 2011. Wichers has extensive experience reporting from the Middle East, and in Syria he reported from the biggest hot spots and was in contact with almost all the factions fighting in Syria. He says it is good that the regime has finally fallen, but he is still suspicious of possible terrorist hot spots, that is, he suspects that HTS has severed all ties with its previous “umbrella” Al Nusra Front, which was practically the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda.
