    It can now be revealed that a Ministry of Defence data leak has cost the UK some £7 billion and put thousands of Afghans at risk of death. A dataset containing the details of nearly 19,000 people who applied to move to the UK following the Taliban takeover was released in error by a British defence official in February 2022. Ministers were informed of the debacle in August 2023; since then, an unprecedented super-injunction has been in place to stop the press from reporting details. What does this mean for successive governments?Also on the podcast, Donald Trump gave a surprise interview to the BBC overnight in which he changed his position on Nato and on Ukraine – this comes after the President threw the full weight of America's military supplies behind Ukraine and warned Putin of 100 per cent tariffs if he doesn't end the war in 50 days. What he hasn't changed his tune on is Keir Starmer, whom he gushed is a ‘liberal' doing his best to navigate a ‘sloppy' Brexit.

    Emmanuel Macron made his state visit to the UK this week – the first EU leader to do so since Brexit. It heralded a reset between France and Britain, dubbed the ‘entente amicale' by King Charles. Macron and Starmer announced a joint crackdown on migration with a ‘one-in one-out policy' for asylum seekers and closer cooperation on defence. But it wasn't all hard talk, with much of the limelight focused on a soft-power push: the announcement that the Bayeux Tapestry will be returning to the UK for the first time in more than 900 years. Host George Parker is joined by Stephen Bush, Anna Gross and the FT's Europe editor Ben Hall to discuss what this ‘entente amicable' might mean for the UK.Follow George on Bluesky or X: @georgewparker.bsky.social, @GeorgeWParker; Stephen @stephenkb.bsky.social‬, @stephenkb; Anna @annasophiegross.bsky.social What did you think of this episode?

    It's been a grim, record-breaking week for Ukraine, with Russia unleashing an unprecedented wave of missiles and drones, including decoys to overwhelm air defences. Amid the chaos, Trump seemed equally thrown—confused by Putin, then reversing course to reinstate military aid to Kyiv after pausing it just last week. Washington is now dangling sanctions as the carrot turns to stick in ceasefire efforts. Meanwhile, it's been pageantry over politics as the Macrons embarked on a three-day state visit to the UK. Kicking off with cocktails at Windsor Castle—“The Entente”, a symbolic mix of British gin and French pastis—the visit marked a reset in post-Brexit ties. There were toasts with the King and Keir, a nuclear cooperation deal, and a plan to stop migrant crossings. Macron couldn't resist a little “I told you so” on Brexit. And in tech: Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok sparked outrage after it began imitating Hitler and promoting anti-Semitic views. Just days after Musk hailed its progress, Grok called itself “MechaHitler.” Musk blamed manipulation and removed the posts. The fallout continued with the sudden resignation of X CEO Linda Yaccarino—met with a cold, two-line farewell.

    C dans l'air du 10 juillet 2025 : Nucléaire, immigration : l'axe Paris-LondresAlors que les attaques russes redoublent d'intensité en Ukraine et que le continent s'est lancé dans une course à l'armement, Paris et Londres ont annoncé être prêts à "coordonner" leurs dissuasions nucléaires pour protéger l'Europe de toute "menace extrême". Un "groupe de supervision nucléaire", coprésidé par l'Élysée et le Cabinet Office britannique, va être créé. Cette évolution majeure de leur doctrine a été officialisée par Emmanuel Macron et Keir Starmer, alors que le président de la République effectue une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis plusieurs jours.Depuis plusieurs semaines, les deux dirigeants avaient promis de muscler la défense européenne face au désengagement des États-Unis. C'est chose faite. Mais qu'est-ce que cela signifie concrètement ? S'agit-il d'un tournant historique en matière de dissuasion nucléaire ? Le rapprochement franco-britannique signe-t-il le retour de "l'Entente cordiale" ?Invité par le roi Charles III, Emmanuel Macron est le premier chef d'État de l'Union européenne à se rendre outre-Manche depuis le Brexit, et le premier président français à effectuer une visite d'État au Royaume-Uni depuis Nicolas Sarkozy en 2008. Entre procession en calèche et dîner royal à Windsor, le couple présidentiel ont eu droit à tous les honneurs du protocole royal. Emmanuel Macron s'est également adressé au Parlement britannique, a coprésidé une réunion de la "coalition des volontaires" avec Keir Starmer, et a participé à un sommet qualifié par certains de… réconciliation.Au-delà de la défense, Londres et Paris s'apprêtent à annoncer de nouvelles mesures pour lutter contre l'immigration clandestine dans la Manche, un dossier qui empoisonne les relations bilatérales depuis plusieurs années.Autre point de friction : Donald Trump. Le président américain, revenu sur le devant de la scène, menace d'imposer de nouveaux droits de douane. Une inquiétude partagée des deux côtés de la Manche. Tandis que Keir Starmer s'est dit prêt à satisfaire les exigences de Washington pour conclure rapidement un accord, Paris et Bruxelles ont jusqu'au 1er août 2025 pour tenter, à leur tour, de négocier un compromis.LES EXPERTS :- ANTHONY BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- JOSEPHINE STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales – Synopia- CATHERINE NORRIS TRENT - Grand reporter -France 24- PATRICK DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chassePRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

    His post may be largely ceremonial, but his messaging is crystal clear. The first state dinner at the palace of King Charles's reign goes to France's Emmanuel Macron, not the United States' Donald Trump. At a time when the United Kingdom is forced to rethink its role in an uncertain world, is it turning its back this time on Winston Churchill's adage that "if Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea"? On that point, Macron was even handed the microphone at Westminster as the first European leader honored with a state visit since Brexit. We ask about his message and the symbiotic ties that bind the continent's only nuclear powers. On one of the highlights of the three-day visit, the French president and the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will on Thursday jointly host a virtual summit of the "coalition of the willing" on Ukraine from the NATO base at Northwood, England. Will it be a symbolic show or a new chapter? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Alessandro Xenos.

    Emmanuel Macron is in London this week, meeting the Royal Family - and Keir Starmer isn't missing the chance to cosy up to the French President. The Prime Minister is hosting a summit in central London with Macron, bringing in French and British business bosses to talk trade and tech. Starmer is talking once again of strengthening ties with Europe, but is this yet another Brexit surrender deal after his ‘EU reset' that gave away access to British fishing waters for twelve years?Starmer and Macron are also expected to announce plans for French police to do more to stop the endless flow of small boats crossing the Channel. But with no sign of a proper returns deal for illegal migrants, Tim and Cleo Watson ask The Daily Telegraph's Europe Editor James Crisp what Britain really gets from this relationship. And we remember Tory grandee Norman Tebbit, who has died aged 94. A towering figure in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet, he helped take on the unions, oversaw privatisation and famously survived the IRA's Brighton bomb of 1984. Lord Charles Moore, Thatcher's biographer, reflects on Tebbit's legacy and the era he helped shape.Read:Victorious Macron arrives at summit to accept Starmer's Brexit surrender - James CrispLord Tebbit, pugnacious Tory who articulated the Iron Lady's views to the man on the streetProducer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

    It is just over a year since Keir Starmer's Labour Party won a huge majority and took power in London, but Starmer's political capital is already at a low ebb. It hasn't all been bad: most noticeably here, he has managed to repair the UK's relationship with Ireland after the fractious Brexit years. But he has also handled the Trump administration and the EU with skill. It's at home where he hasn't done so well. Some notable successes - on reducing NHS waiting times - have been overshadowed by a series of u-turns, mishaps and political miscalculations. So what does the electorate make of him, and where does he go from here? London correspondent Mark Paul talks to Hugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    New proposals to improve water quality in Northern Ireland could prove fatal for pig farming there according to the Ulster Farmers Union. The Nutrients Action Programme aims to reduce agricultural pollution in loughs and rivers and would involve limiting the amount of phosporus and nitrogen that can by spread on the land in slurry. The consultation on the programme has already been extended once and now the UFU says pigs numbers would need to be reduced by as much as 80% if the plans get the go-ahead. Craftsmen are building a new four and half mile dry stone wall in the Cotswolds. Part of one England's biggest road construction projects, the wall will run alongside the new road near Cheltenham. Work started last year and won't be completed until next summer.  All week we're looking at shellfish from lobsters and oysters to mussels. The Shellfish Association describes it as an industry with huge untapped potential but producers are still suffering from the loss of trade to Europe since Brexit as exports account for most of their business.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

    C'est l'un des personnages les plus singuliers de la politique britannique : Nigel Farage, 61 ans, ancien banquier et ex-député européen. Tout à droite de l'échiquier politique, il a largement œuvré en faveur du Brexit, puis a pris une pause, pour animer des émissions de radio et participer à des télé-réalités. Mais depuis 2024, il a réussi à se faire élire député, pour le parti nationaliste Reform, sur un programme en large partie tourné sur l'immigration. Un an après les législatives qui l'ont vu entrer au Parlement, reportage à Clacton-on-Sea, là où Nigel Farage s'est fait parachuter. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Clacton-on-Sea, Les 25 canards, des alpagas, neuf cochons gambadent dans les champs de la « ferme de Sandy », au nord de Clacton, un espace de zoothérapie pour enfants. L'année dernière, la ferme a failli fermer « C'était très dur. Avant que Nigel Farage ne nous rende visite, nous avions plus de 35 000 euros de dettes. Il a lancé une cagnotte et en un jour, il a récolté près de 22 000 euros pour nous. » Gary et Sandy, les fondateurs : « C'est difficile de savoir vers qui se tourner, et vous ne parvenez jamais jusqu'aux décideurs… à part Farage. » Le couple, qui travaille sept jours sur sept, n'avait jamais voté jusqu'alors : « Je n'avais pas une bonne opinion de lui, jusqu'à ce que je le rencontre. Il m'a fait changer d'avis en nous rendant visite. Il a certaines idées qui ne me plaisent pas, mais tout ça, ce n'est que de la politique. En 40 ans, je n'ai jamais voté, mais il a eu ma voix. » Un « personnage Marmite » Nigel Farage, c'est un « personnage Marmite », du nom de cette pâte de légumes fermentés : on adore ou on déteste. Début 2024, Farage a lancé sa campagne devant le symbole de Clacton, une ville balnéaire délaissée des touristes : le casino sur la jetée. Nigel Brown, directeur de la communication : « Farage, comme Donald Trump, est très bon pour dire aux gens ce qu'ils veulent entendre. À nous, il nous a dit : " je suis une célébrité, n'hésitez pas à m'exploiter ", et il a fait de la publicité à la jetée. Tout ce qu'il nous a promis, il l'a fait : maintenant, l'avenir nous dira si cela porte ses fruits. » Les opposants de Nigel Farage, eux, critiquent ses emplois secondaires, ses voyages à l'étranger et ses positions : eurosceptiques, anti-immigration, anti-islam. Le communicant souligne le paradoxe Farage : « Je n'aime pas ses méthodes, et je pense qu'il désinhibe certains discours problématiques. Mais il bouscule l'ordre établi. » Après un an au pouvoir, les Travaillistes n'ont pas encore réussi à relancer l'économie ni les services publics, alors Reform UK, le parti de Farage mise sur le dégagisme. À Clacton, Dan Casey, élu local de gauche, tente de dissuader les électeurs : « On l'a bien vu quand il était élu au Parlement européen : c'était un véritable clown. Il ne porte aucun intérêt aux gens d'ici. » Mais Nigel Farage semble s'être fixé un objectif : Downing Street, comme un autre « personnage marmite » avant lui, un certain Boris Johnson.  À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: Nigel Farage, figure emblématique du Brexit, entre au Parlement

Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere. We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer's emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story's emotional core. We also dig into the film's political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war. With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy, kicking off with this sequel and promising next entries like The Bone Temple (2026). Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage?

    Nick Cohen and historian James Hawes discuss wide range of political topics, focusing primarily on British politics, Brexit, and the rise of right-wing populism. Discussions included the historical context and current state of the Conservative Party, the challenges faced by Labour and the SNP, and the potential long-term implications of demographic changes on political landscapes. James Hawes argues that only liberal populists can counter the threat posed by Nigel Farage and Reform.Brexit's Long-Term Consequences and FailuresJames and Nick discusses the long-term implications and failures of Brexit, highlighting how Farage and other Brexit advocates had been promoting the idea for decades. Both criticise the lack of accountability and the continued influence of Brexit supporters despite the project's evident failures. James expressed optimism for a pro-remain populist leader to challenge Brexit advocates directly, rather than relying on complex economic arguments. He also shared a conversation with a top UK insider predicting the UK's collapse by 2029 due to Keir Starmer's inability to address the mess left by the Tories & BrexitThe Tory Party pickleJames & Nick discuss the historical and current dire state of the Conservative Party, highlighting its long history of populism and sectarianism. They argue that the party's true nature is being revealed through its alignment with Farage and its anti-migrant stance, which James compares to 19th-century Tory behaviour.Farage's Rise and threat to the UKThe discussion focuses on British politics, particularly Farage's rise and the potential for a shift towards far-right governance. James argues that Farage success in England will re-energise the SNP & inevitably speed up the UK's break-up. Both express concern about the working-class appeal of Farage's populism and discuss the perception of left-wing politicians as communists by some conservatives.Demographic Shifts and Political ImplicationsThe discussion focused on demographic challenges and political implications, with Nick and James exploring how an aging population and ironically more financially secure voters are more likely to vote for Farage and his brand of nut-job populist extremism, while younger generations face difficulties accessing housing and other opportunities. James argues that a more liberal -leftist brand of populism - with policies such as I.D. cards and German-like tests for trades people - might help counter the poison and certain chaos of Farageism.Read all about it!James Hawes @jameshawes2 is a historian and author of a novel and books such as including The Shortest History of Germany and The Shortest History on EnglandNick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.
