| 6/24/26 | ![]() Albania's flamingo revolution: Will protests stop Trump family luxury resort plan? | Can citizens of Albania, population 2-point-4 million, push back against their own government and the pull of the U-S president’s family whom they accuse of capitalizing on their connections to privatize protected coastline on the Adriatic Sea? Introducing what activists have dubbed the Flamingo Revolution of 2026, an unprecedented leaderless movement against Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s bid to build a 4-billion dollar luxury resort project on land purchased by Qatari contacts of the Kushners. From no-bid contracts and allegations of fraudulent sales of land by organized crime-related figures posing as the real land owners to the diplomatic row sparked over the manhandling of ethnic Greeks in the area, we’ll ask about the case and the prime minister’s promise that the project will propel Albania into the quote “Champions League” of tourist destinations. In this David versus Goliath style-tale, there’s that blurring of lines between the personal business interests of the Trump family and the power of a sitting U-S president. The current one’s sent his son-in-law to mediate peace with Iran and Russia, pardoned his convicted real estate mogul father and appointed him ambassador to France. Why does the outrage seem stronger in Albania than in the United States or here in France, where the president just this week quietly welcomed four-term leader Edi Rama? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Piera Rocco, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | ![]() Air conditioning for all? France divided over response to record-breaking heatwave | The heat is on: enough to make Parisians take the plunge into the once notoriously polluted Canal Saint-Martin. France this Tuesday awakened from its hottest night on record, testing the tempers of Paris city dwellers as they sizzle under the zinc roofs of top-floor apartments built for a bygone age. This is the second heat dome to settle over Western Europe in less than a month. Watch moreHow can France adapt to recurrent heatwaves? France's political class is scrambling to prove it's prepared to do what's necessary. Enter that burning question: should there be air conditioning for all? Emphatic yeses are arising from more than just home appliance salespeople: the far-right is all in with A/C, framing as constraining and elitist those who fret that cooling systems add to the warming outside temperatures. Unquestionably, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and social housing need to adapt to the new normal, with more than half of France's heatwaves occurring since 2010. So what measures should be taken? How to help those who can't afford expensive geothermal pumps or new shutters for their homes? What's fair and what's sustainable? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Piera Rocco, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | ![]() Labour's last chance? Burnham set to replace Starmer as UK faces far-right surge | Another post-Brexit prime minister bites the dust. Keir Starmer has owned up to the obvious: that he's too unpopular to lead the Labour Party into the next general election. After replacing the hard left's Jeremy Corbyn, the same Starmer won a landslide election victory two years ago on the promise of stability after all the chaos of Tory rule. So where did it all go wrong? Can the heavy favourite to replace him win back disgruntled Labour voters who first flocked to the Conservatives and now to the far-right Reform UK party? Read moreAndy Burnham, ‘King of the North’ and frontrunner to replace Starmer as PM We ask about the politics of popular Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, and reflect – on the eve of Tuesday's tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum – if the same Britain that took a punt on leaving the European Union can rally behind any leader or any party to end a decade of turmoil. Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Piera Rocco, Juliette Brown, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Signing off? Trump rushes to turn page on Iran war | Surprise! A stroke of a pen over dinner at Versailles has pre-empted plans for that big Friday signing in Switzerland of an interim agreement between the United States and Iran. Coming off the G7 in France, we ask why Donald Trump suddenly decided to get it over with and whether the region and the world can breathe a sigh of relief. Read moreMore than 12 million oil barrels transited the Strait of Hormuz overnight, Vance says Oil markets certainly believe. They're down again as the Strait of Hormuz gets set to reopen. But it's only a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding. And while Gulf neighbours will cheer the lifting of the blockade on what's the world's biggest maritime choke point for oil and gas, we take a second look at the agreement brokered by Pakistan and Qatar – most notably, the inclusion of a cessation of fighting in Lebanon. What happens if Israel or Hezbollah don't like the way negotiations unfold? Would Washington and Tehran be able to rein them in? How does the US president's plan compare with the 2015 UN nuclear agreement that he constantly belittles? Are we headed for closure or a whole new level of uncertainty? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Juliette Brown, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() At the mercy of Silicon Valley? Europe exposed by Trump AI export ban | Is it better to persuade or to confront? French leader Emmanuel Macron is opting for the royal treatment with Donald Trump at Versailles, what with a dinner to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the King of France's support for the birth of a new nation. It's all about keeping the US president on board: on Ukraine, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and more. But will flattery work when it comes to the AI revolution? Lunch preceded dinner with tech titans the guests of honour on the closing day of the G7 summit in the French Alps. There, the elephant in the room was Trump's sudden decision last Friday to give Anthropic 90 minutes to shut down foreign access to its latest artificial intelligence models. The reason cited: national security. How exposed are both governments and major corporations like French banking giant BNP Paribas, which recently announced it was partnering with Anthropic for its security needs? Can a stroke of the pen from the Oval Office suddenly expose the rest of the world to hackers? Read moreAnthropic disables access to top-tier AI models after US ban on foreign use For years, the same Europeans who counted on the US defence shield to protect them also banked on its big tech: everything from Visa credit cards and Google searches to Amazon deliveries and cloud storage. Amazon boss Jeff Bezos is the star attraction at this week's VivaTech trade fair in Paris. Silicon Valley's dominance has grown to the point where it draws the planet's money and data. Its billionaire bosses dictate their terms and oligarchs like Elon Musk peddle pro-Kremlin, far-right messaging on their platforms. So how does the rest of the world defend its own national security and sovereignty? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | ![]() Ukraine back in favour? At G7, Trump threatens return of Russia oil sanctions | Before he left Washington, there were reports that Volodymyr Zelensky wasn't even on Donald Trump's G7 bilateral meeting list. But in the end, the US president took the meeting, and more. In the French Alps resort of Evian, Trump is putting the onus on Vladimir Putin to come to the bargaining table and even suggesting a rapid return to full sanctions on Russian oil. Why the sudden turn-for-the-better in relations between Washington and Kyiv? Watch moreTrump suggests US can swiftly reimpose sanctions on Russian oil How much of it is down to facts on the ground? Overnight, a Moscow-area refinery was hit by a long-range drone, illustrating Kyiv's growing capacity to cripple Russia's oil and gas exports with long-range strikes. Already, Europeans are tapping into that Ukrainian military upscaling in what's a race against time, with the US drawing down its NATO presence on the continent, making allies pay for Ukraine-bound US hardware and pulling rank on the use of AI by traditional allies who know that true strategic autonomy is years away. So at summits like this one, even after an Iran war they didn't ask for, G7 members' primary job, critics say, is to placate the president of the United States. Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() 'Let the oil flow!' Can US and Iran actually strike a lasting deal? | If Donald Trump calls it a peace deal, does that make it so? '"Let the oil flow," trumpeted the US president after agreeing on the day of his 80th birthday to a memorandum of understanding with Iran. Trump was quick to schedule a signing ceremony for this coming Friday in Switzerland, across from where he's flown in for a G7 summit on the French side of Lake Geneva. We ask what's actually in the memorandum of understanding brokered by Pakistan and Qatar, and whether the uncertainty is well and truly lifted for the world's biggest maritime choke point, the Strait of Hormuz. Will Iran continue to charge for passage? Will the Gulf states pay the US protection money, as Trump insinuated in a New York Times interview? Read moreWhat we know about the US-Iran memorandum of understanding Are Europeans right to volunteer naval patrols? And what should those signatories of the 2015 UN-brokered nuclear agreement make of vague US promises of a new deal with Iran? Everything was done to accommodate the US. Hosts France even pushed back the G7 summit by a day so Trump could enjoy his birthday festivities in Washington. How accommodating should allies be going forward? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||

| 5/27/26 | ![]() Hotter than July: Can electrification save humanity from soaring heat? | Europe's in meltdown, and it's not even June yet. We're seeing a not-so merry month of May as record highs explode under a heat dome that's drifted north from the Sahara. After the frying pan of an energy crisis, the fire of a heatwave is forcing a reset by the same politicians who pandered to those who complained about the cost and red tape of recent energy transition policy. Enter Emmanuel Macron. France's president was precisely one of those politicians who had segued from summits to make the planet great again to cuts in subsidies for homeowners and moratoriums on going green. Flanked by captains of industry, Macron on Tuesday unveiled plans to turbocharge what almost sounds like the electrification of everything. We hear about heat pumps, charging stations and electric vehicle factories here in the land of nuclear power. Read moreWhy is Europe heating up faster than the rest of the world? More broadly, can industry and technology come to the rescue of humanity? If blocking the Strait of Hormuz is all it takes to threaten livelihoods the world over, it's worth asking about the sustainability of the alternative: one that features a scramble for copper, cobalt, uranium and whatever else can be extracted in the name of growth. Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Guillaume Gougeon, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | ![]() End in sight? Hormuz, nukes at the heart of US-Iran sticking points | Three months into what was originally billed as four-week war, is an end really in sight? Donald Trump's messaging on bargaining with Iran was enough to push Brent crude oil below $100 a barrel for the first time in two weeks. Both Washington and Tehran are managing expectations of a final deal or "memorandum of understanding". Time is not on Trump's side, what with a World Cup to host in less than three weeks and inflation that's fast erasing the sweetener of tax breaks for voters ahead of the November midterm elections. But if inflation's bad in the US, Iran has economic ruin to contend with. So again, who blinks first? Read morePossible Iran-US deal: What we know about the key issues on both sides And how do regional players align? Gulf states are divided between hawks – led by the United Arab Emirates, who've drawn closer to Israel in this conflict – and doves, led by the Strait of Hormuz's other frontline state Oman. So which is it: a deal, a return to war or permanent state of limbo over the world's biggest choke point for oil and gas? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Jean-Vincent Russo, Guillaume Gougeon, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | ![]() Tipping point? The scramble to contain global energy crisis | It's easy to lecture world leaders about how fuel subsidies ruin the environment and bleed state coffers dry, but try telling that to beleaguered Bolivians and cornered Kenyans, two of the many nations where the energy crisis has reached breaking point with citizens unable to keep up with prices at the pump. It's not just in the Americas, Africa and Asia where the Iran war is destroying livelihoods and derailing fiscal roadmaps. France – which at the outset of an election year is already running the biggest budget deficit of the eurozone at 5.1 percent of GDP – is further loosening the purse strings, with the prime minister announcing fresh measures. Watch moreFrance announces €710 million in new energy aid So, to subsidise or not to subsidise? On that score, what lessons have been learned from the last energy crisis in 2022? Oil and gas prices are notoriously volatile. What if the Strait of Hormuz is never the same again? And how much fuel is left before the entire global economy's running on empty? Produced by François Picard, Antonia Cimini, Juliette Laffont, Juliette Brown, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | ![]() Ebola returns: How to fight outbreak amid defunding of global health? | Can border walls keep out pandemics? The World Health Organization is officially branding the Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo a "public health emergency of international concern". As the death toll from the rare strain climbs, so does the number of contact cases. Ituri province may seem remote on a map, but nowhere's very far in a globalised world. Watch moreEbola in DR Congo: 'This could be a very bad outbreak,' MSF health worker says We ask about the outbreak and the lessons learned from previous pandemics. Since Covid, the United States has quit the UN's health body. Public aid and science budgets are trending down among all G7 nations. What does that mean for the WHO and for global health? Why is it that despite Covid and despite globalisation, there's such a backlash against vaccines, cross-border cooperation and more broadly, against science itself? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Juliette Brown, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | ![]() Putin on the back foot? Russian president in China as Ukraine campaign stalls | Days after Donald Trump left Beijing, it's Vladimir Putin's turn in the Chinese capital, where the Russian president can boast that unlike his US counterpart, he'll be signing actual business deals. But the biggest one may have to wait. Xi Jinping is in no hurry to agree to the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, which would double Russia's exports to China. We ask why, particularly during a global energy crisis. Since 2022, Russia's dependence on China has grown as it remains bogged down in its war in Ukraine. Of late, the enemy's drones have been hitting key infrastructure further and further inside Russian territory. For its part, the Kremlin is publicly flexing its muscles with three days of joint military drills with Belarus to practice the deployment of nuclear weapons. A show of strength or a show of weakness? Who's really got the momentum at the outset of yet another summer of war in Europe? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Margot Loizillon. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | ![]() Cuba instead? Trump ups pressure on Havana as Iran campaign stalls | If Venezuela proved easier than Iran – where Donald Trump's still looking for a win – could that explain why the attention seems to be turning to Cuba? The United States last week dispatched its CIA director to Havana and offered aid, all the while its crippling blockade is plunging the Communist island nation in the dark. We talk about carrots and sticks in the latest of a long, very long list of US pressure campaigns. History is littered by failed US attempts at regime change in Cuba, dating all the way back to 1959 and the revolution led by Fidel Castro – who would have turned 100 this year. We ask our panel if this time is any different for a regime that has survived embargoes and the end of the Cold War, the decline of agriculture and sugar cane exports, as well as successive waves of mass emigration. In this standoff, Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, has been front and center. Just how much does the US secretary of state's push jibe with what citizens of Cuba want or need? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Juliette Brown, Charles Wente. | — | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | ![]() China's Xi woos Trump with state banquet: Taiwan on the table? | From the Temple of Heaven to the Forbidden City, plenty of great power pageantry was on display as the leaders of the world's two mightiest nations toasted each other at an official state banquet. The US president was flanked by the likes of Elon Musk, Tim Cook of Apple and Jensen Huang of chipmaking leader Nvidia – tech titans keen to see trade tensions smoothed over. Hardly surprising, then, that the laudatory toasts between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump were not what you might call straight talk. But behind the scenes, critics worry if instead of straight talk, it's a straight swap and a tale of two Straits: our panel reacts to Trump's softer messaging on Taiwan – separated only from the mainland by the Strait of Formosa – and ask if Washington instead wants Beijing more involved in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. China is the largest importer of Iranian oil. Whether it's Taiwan or artificial intelligence, is the course of history and global security being decided on a cocktail napkin at the Great Hall of the People? What do both countries – and leaders – have to gain? What do they have to lose? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Daniel Whittington, Guillaume Gougeon, Margot Loizillon. | — | ||||||
