Key speakers include Herman Van Rompuy, former Prime Minister of Belgium and first President of the European Council, and the Economics Editor of The Times of London—offering dual lenses on EU and global market drivers. Pourcelot will host a panel on “The Power of an Open, Best-of-Breed Ecosystem,” spotlighting how platforms and vertical integrations can unlock end-user value. Panelists will include leaders from CloudCTI, Akixi, Mitric, and other innovators in analytics, CRM, and AI-powered services. “Innovation thrives when there's openness, orchestration, and true partnership,” Pourcelot said.

Last week, President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on nearly all countries, including ones that don't have any human inhabitants. In the process, Trump remade the global economy in a single press conference. But the economic theory that Trump is basing this new world order on might be entirely false.This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

 The Three Old Hacks look at the relationship between Nigel Farage and the Conservative Party. We are seeing a reshaping of the right in British politics, says Mihir. Nigel Farage is out to destroy the Conservative Party in his mission to become prime minister.He is making a tactical shift towards the centre, says David Smith, to take over the Conservatives' ground. While Tory Party members may be drifting towards Reform, that "is not easy for Tory MPs to contemplate", says David Smith. He thinks the Tories have repeated the mistake they made when they elected William Hague in 1997, in electing a leader who is too young to lead the party (he was then 26). Kemi Badenoch is 44, but is "not", says David, "a very good parliamentary performer."Mihir is prepared to put money on Farage becoming prime minister one day, but Nigel Dudley thinks the Tory Party will survive its current difficulties and will not be ousted by Reform as the rightful home of right-leaning voters.Turning to consider Rachel Reeves' performance as Chancellor and the measures she outlined in the Spring Budget, "it has been many decades since we have had an economist in the job of Chancellor," says David, "and she definitely is an economist," whatever her political enemies may say to the contrary. Whether or not she will survive as Chancellor has more to do with the number of enemies she has made in such a short time than it does with her abilities as an economist - pensioners who have lost their winter fuel payments, parents of children in private education, farmers, and now disabled people."She expected to be swept along on a tide of goodwill," says David, but that has not been the case.Is the Labour government's lack of popularity down to the mismatch in expectations between what they can afford and what people want from an incoming Labour government? Is it down to their lack of preparedness when they took office.The Three Old Hacks compare and contrast with governments past and consider the Trump effect on the UK's relations with Europe.Former Sports editor of BBC News Mihir Bose, political analyst Nigel Dudley and Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith, aka the Three Old Hacks, bring their decades of experience to bear on the most pressing political developments. Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

Supporters of Donald Trump such as Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage tend to brush off his more outrageous statements, saying we shouldn't take his outpourings too literally. Shouldn't we? In a week in which he has declared that President Zelensky of Ukraine is a 'dictator' and tariffs on Mexico and Canada "will go forward", the Three Old Hacks, aka Sports editor of BBC News Mihir Bose, political analyst Nigel Dudley and Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith, discuss how seriously we should take the President of the United States.Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

Why are materials like lithium and copper so critical to achieving net-zero?

 As The Three Old Hacks gather for their latest episode, they dive into the state of UK politics and economic growth. David Smith offers a measured analysis of Britain's growth prospects, suggesting that while some improvement is expected, it may fall short of historical averages.

The conversation weaves through Brexit's curious absence from political discourse, despite declining public support.The trio then tackles the worrying decline in faith in mainstream political parties, with David highlighting the troubling shift away from centrist politics. They share their perspectives on recent political developments in both the UK and US, with particular attention to the challenges facing the Tory party and Labour. The conversation takes on a sombre tone as they discuss how the political system is increasingly perceived as being run by elites, disconnected from ordinary voters.Former Sports editor of BBC News Mihir Bose, political analyst Nigel Dudley and Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith share their decades of experience in this engaging discussion of current affairs. Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

Ukraine Must Win: pre-election panel conversation with the participation of: - Edward Lucas - Paul Mason - Macer Gifford and moderated by Jonathan Fink (Silicon Curtain) ---------- Organiser: SupportUkraine.UK (Instagram @supportukraine.uk). Thanks to the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB) London Branch for hosting the event. All funds raised from this event will be directed to help frontline medics in Ukraine. Date: Friday, June 28 · 7 - 9pm (GMT+1) Host: Ukrainian Cultural Centre, AUGB London Location: 154 Holland Park Avenue London W11 4UH ---------- If the West provides Ukraine with support to win the war, this victory will secure peace not only for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe. A pre-election discussion with representatives from three main political parties. Support Ukraine looks forward to a night of captivating conversation about what's needed for a Ukrainian victory. The panel will be quizzed by the host of the Silicon Curtain podcast Jonathan Fink. He'll be joined by Edward Lucas, Paul Mason and Macer Gifford. ---------- Welcome to the pre-election debate. The election outcome may seem to be broadly predictable, but what will Day one for the new UK government look like? How prominent will Ukraine be in the priority list of a new cabinet? Will there be a continuation of foreign policy, and will it be aligned behind a Ukrainian victory – not simply the vaguely worded and non-committal phrase “as long as it takes”. The devil will be on the detail, ranging from issue such as rearming Britain for a dangerous world to our commitment to international law and cracking down on the laundering of oligarch money and finding our place in a fracturing global economy. But tonight, we will be discussing whether the war in Ukraine, which was initiated by Russia, should be at the top of the list. The longer it drags on, the higher the cost for Ukraine in human and economic terms, and the more malign and toxic Russia seem to be becoming. Despite Escalation management, prolonging the war seems to be compounding risks of a wider conflagration, rather than mitigating risk. We desperately need leadership to resolve the war, and align around a Ukrainian victory, but will we get it through the result of this election? ---------- Edward Lucas was one of the first journalists to raise the alarm about Putin's actions and motivations. While most of the world still thought of Putin as ‘someone we could do business with', Edward published a prescient and insightful book in 2008 called “The New Cold War – Putin's threat to Russia and the West”. Edward Lucas is now a full-time Liberal Democrat is a Prospective candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency, on a platform that includes defending democracy against dirty money and corruption. ---------- Paul Mason is a British commentator and radio personality. He was Culture and Digital Editor of Channel 4 News, becoming the programme's Economics Editor in 2014. He is the author of several books, and a visiting professor at the University of Wolverhampton. Allegedly Mason was a member of the Workers' Power group, as a Leftie activist, but he now explains that “What his politics are is very complicated.” Mason was considered as a candidate by the Labour Party to run in the constituency of Islington North at this election but was not selected for the final shortlist. ---------- Macer Gifford is a British veteran of the Ukrainian Army – who is well known to members of NAFO (North Atlantic Fellas Organization), and those who follow the Ukraine war in detail. As he says on his Twitter profile, he is channelling the spirit of George Orwell, and his dispatches from the frontlines of the war in Ukraine have been highly engaging, informative, eloquent, and full of humanity. Macer has an MSc in Security & Diplomacy and has followed Conservative politics for many years. ----------

While most of the world still thought of Putin as ‘someone we could do business with', Edward published a prescient and insightful book in 2008 called “The New Cold War – Putin's threat to Russia and the West”. Edward Lucas is now a full-time Liberal Democrat is a Prospective candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency, on a platform that includes defending democracy against dirty money and corruption. ---------- Paul Mason is a British commentator and radio personality. He was Culture and Digital Editor of Channel 4 News, becoming the programme's Economics Editor in 2014. He is the author of several books, and a visiting professor at the University of Wolverhampton. Allegedly Mason was a member of the Workers' Power group, as a Leftie activist, but he now explains that “What his politics are is very complicated.” Mason was considered as a candidate by the Labour Party to run in the constituency of Islington North at this election but was not selected for the final shortlist. ---------- Macer Gifford is a British veteran of the Ukrainian Army – who is well known to members of NAFO (North Atlantic Fellas Organization), and those who follow the Ukraine war in detail. As he says on his Twitter profile, he is channelling the spirit of George Orwell, and his dispatches from the frontlines of the war in Ukraine have been highly engaging, informative, eloquent, and full of humanity. Macer has an MSc in Security & Diplomacy and has followed Conservative politics for many years. ----------

This episode of All Points North was presented by Egan Richardson and Zena Iovino. The sound engineer was Panu Willman. This week we ask why the left surged in Finland, while the far-right made gains elsewhere in the European Parliament election. What did the Left Alliance do right to secure a record result for leader Li Andersson? Why did the Finns Party record less than half their score in last year's parliamentary election? And what does the far-right surge in France mean for the rest of the EU? Populism researcher Emilia Palonen looked at the Finns Party and the Left Alliance performance, we caught up with outgoing Left Alliance leader Andersson, and Economics Editor and former Brussels correspondent Mehreen Khan gave us an insight into the European context of rising far-right sentiment.

Nabila Ramdani is a French-Algerian writer, broadcaster and academic, whose recent book is Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic. Historically, France is a country with ideals that strive for liberty, equality and fraternity but the reality in recent years is something different. Its leader President Macron has cultivated a political landscape with no clear successor ready to carry liberal or centre-ground politics forward. Instead, the next president might come from the far right and inherit a country consumed by polarised politics, institutionalised rioting, economic injustice and paramilitary policing. Can France be fixed? Joining Ramdani in conversation for this episode is Mehreen Khan, former Brussels-based EU Correspondent for the Financial Times and currently Economics Editor for The Times.
