Far-right National Rally’s Marine Le Pen has announced she’ll run in the 2027 French presidential election, following Tuesday’s shock court ruling which cleared the way for her to do so. But what does that mean for Europe? On Tuesday, a Paris appeals court upheld Le Pen’s guilty verdict but reduced the amount of time she’s banned from holding public office. That means she can run — but under house arrest, with electronic monitoring. On the show, we unpack what Brussels makes of all this. Also on the show, Europe’s cows now have a new job title: critical infrastructure. The Commission’s new livestock strategy…
US-Präsident Donald Trump beendet von der Türkei aus die Waffenruhe mit dem Iran und verhängt einen Handelsstopp gegen Spanien. Gleichzeitig sichern EU und NATO der Ukraine 140 Milliarden Euro an neuen Hilfen zu. Der so wichtige Tomahawk-Deal zwischen Deutschland und den USA findet hingegen noch keinen Abschluss. Gordon Repinski, zurück aus Ankara, zieht eine Bilanz des diesjährigen NATO-Gipfel. Die Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) steht bei ihrer Jahresbilanz massiv unter Druck.

Cooper — a veteran Labour politician who also served as a minister under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown — penned an extensive Chatham House essay on Monday giving her thesis of the global challenges facing Britain. She highlighted the “threats on the international stage,” and said Britain needs “not just to weather the storm but steer an active course” — is that code for stability at the Foreign Office?

Lithuania’s new Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius presented his government’s policy agenda to the Lithuanian parliament on Tuesday, setting out a programme focused on defence, civil resilience and recalibration of foreign policy towards China while maintaining a hard line on Russia, as the country seeks to respond to a deteriorating security environment on NATO’s eastern flank. Bordering both Russia and Belarus, the Baltic country of less than three million has faced a growing number of hybrid threats in recent years, including drone incursions, airspace violations, cyber-attacks and cross-border smuggling.

Burnham has campaigned on a “change” platform, and in the aftermath of the release of documents relating to former Labour peer Mandelson’s appointment as U.K. ambassador to the U.S. said: “People have lost faith in a Westminster system which puts private vested interests above the wider public interest and concentrates too much power in too few hands.” Under the current regime, only a small subsection of Britain’s lobbying shops are required to reveal their clients to the Office for the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists (ORCL) — and only when direct contact is made on behalf of those clients with government…
