We have asked the question before: does Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine put superpowers on a collision course? With the revelation that Iran is supplying Russia with not just drones but ballistic missiles, allies strongly suggest that a UK-US summit in Washington this Friday could, on the quiet, mean the end to the Biden administration's restrictions on Ukraine using the long-range missiles it provides for strikes deep inside Russia. Already Kyiv is growing bolder in response to the Kremlin's relentless targeting of its critical infrastructure, with Ukrainian drones this week hitting a military airport near Moscow and aiming for bases in Murmansk, all the way on the Arctic Sea. What would be legitimate targets for US-made ATACMs and Franco-British-made Storm Shadows? In view of Tehran's role, could war in the Middle East and tensions in eastern Europe conflate into one?On that score, we hear what the candidates for US president had to say in their Tuesday showdown. How is that electoral campaign weighing on the military campaign between Russia and Ukraine?Produced by Andrew Hilliar, Rebecca Gnignati and Ilayda Habip.

In episode #126 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar catches up with Franco-British pianist and composer RIOPY to discuss his new album, THRIVE. RIOPY came to music in an extraordinary and unusual way. Escaping to the UK following a childhood spent in an oppressive French cult, his fortunes changed when he was given an opportunity to study at Oxford Brookes University and then gifted a Steinway piano by Coldplay's Chris Martin, who recognised his need and potential. He has since channelled his troubled past – which included drug and alcohol abuse brought on by depression and anxiety – into his music, which now serves as a source of solace to millions around the world. RIOPY's preceding trilogy of albums, RIOPY (2018), Tree of Light (2019) and Bliss (2021), have accumulated 600 million streams worldwide and achieved significant chart success, with more than 120 weeks for Tree of Light on the US's Billboard classical chart. Lana Del Rey recently announced that she has adapted one of RIOPY's compositions. His meditative piano playing and melody will feature on a track on the American singer-songwriter's new album, Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd? When announcing the new album, the singer thanked RIOPY "for lending me your subtle piano compositions that are infused with melodies I only wish I could dream up". Details will be confirmed at a later date. THRIVE marks the beginning of a new chapter for RIOPY. It will be the first of his albums to include strings alongside his evocative and powerful pianism, which has earned him an ever-increasing international following. In this interview, RIOPY talks about writing and recording the album, Lana Del Rey using his music on her new album, live shows, meditation and lots more.

Despite it being a country that so famously chopped off the head of its own king, many people in France are enchanted by the British monarchy. This fascination was particularly visible when Queen Elizabeth II passed away last week. On top of the official expression of condolences by French President Emmanuel Macron, many ordinary French people were upset at the passing of the monarch. For many, the queen was a symbol of Franco-British friendship and the Entente cordiale. But will the mutual fascination between France and the British monarchy continue with King Charles III? We take a closer look in this episode of French Connections.
Joyce Carol Oates's latest novel, Babysitter, is the story of a woman caught in an abusive relationship with her lover, set against the background of the hunt for a serial killer in 70s Detroit. Its dark themes are not untypical of the subject matter of much of Oates's long list of successful books which have won her great critical acclaim over the years. Tom Sutcliffe talks to her about her work and her distinctive literary style. Following the first leg of a sold-out European tour, Riopy – the self-taught Franco-British pianist/composer with nearly half a billion streams to his name and an album which has been at the top of the US Billboard charts for nearly two years – is with us to discuss the release of his album [extended] Bliss.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Lise Bouissière (@lisebouissiere) Lise Bouissière is a Franco-British artist. She graduated from Central Saint Martins School (London) and Villa Arson (Nice, France). Bouissière is a Royal Society of Sculptors member. Over the past ten years, she has shown in solo and group shows across the United Kingdom and Italy, including at The Royal Society of Sculptors (2021), Aora Space (2021), Koppel Exchange Project (2020 and 2021), The Crypt Gallery (2021), Gerald Moore Gallery (2020), The Smallest Gallery in Soho (2019), Villa Arson (2014), Palais de Tokyo (2016). Bouissière also took part in Venice land Biennale (2019) and Monaco's music festival (2011). Bouissiere's practice focuses on the optimisation of space and the use of materials. Through a distinct construction of ideas, found materials are played with to create minimalist and honest compositions. Bouissière's structures reveal a memory, a current state or a hidden side of a place with the elements that surround it. In many cases, the place Bouissière constructs her art is transformed like a mental space, offering the viewer a large panel of interpretations. Lise Bouissière lives and works in London. Kensington + Chelsea Art Week (KCAW) is delighted to present its fifth annual Public Art Trail. West London will be brought to life with vibrant and immersive public art, free for all to enjoy for the duration of the summer.Opening on 18 June, the Public Art Trail will feature world-class sculpture, installations and exhibits throughout the borough.

The Napoleonic Wars are raging, Britain is on her heels, and His Majesty's Secret Service has just lost its best agent, Thomas Grey. Deeply depressed by his wife's untimely death, Grey resigns from the service and accepts an offer to join a lumber firm in Boston. But when a sea battle with a privateer forces the ship carrying him west to make port in neutral Portugal, Grey is approached with a counteroffer: become a wealthy man by selling out Britain's spy network to France. The French take Grey for a disgruntled ex–naval officer, blithely unaware that Grey had lost his wife to an unlucky shot from a French cannon. Now, after many years serving King and Country, Grey seizes the opportunity to fight a covert war of his own. He travels to Paris, and―playing the part of the invaluable turncoat the French believe him to be―proceeds to infiltrate the highest levels of Napoleon's government. If he can outwit his handlers, outmatch his French counterparts, and outrun Napoleon's secret police, Grey may just avenge his wife's death and turn the tide of war in England's favor. Bursting with action and intrigue, Hold Fast sends readers headlong into an unrelenting spy thriller

« Exit » est une pièce de Stéphane Laporte et Gaetan Borg, élégamment écrite. Marina Pangos est excellente dans le rôle de Sibylle, une jeune conceptrice de jeux vidéo. Son coeur balance entre un jeune homme français Antoine, un éternel adulescent (Simon Heulle) et Mark, un charmant britannique (Harold Savary), à l'image d'Alienor d'Aquitaine qui l'inspire pour son projet. Les moments musicaux apportent un vrai supplément d'âme, grâce au talent de Didier Bailly. « Exit », une pièce à découvrir au Théâtre de la Huchette
In an interview with FRANCE 24, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace condemned the killing of Chadian President Idriss Deby and said Britain would do everything it could to support its friends such as France, as well as countries in the Sahel that are facing instability and radicalisation. Wallace also touted Franco-British defence projects and underlined that such cooperation will be key for both countries in meeting challenges from Russia and China, as well as non-conventional threats.
Frances reads letters written by Edmund, Avice, Enid and Bernard in June 1908. Edmund's letter is mournful; he knows his siblings are going to miss him out of the next round of the Budget. As Bernard says, sixpenny fines don't work. Edmund draws a sketch, of himself, hanging on the gallows. “Let me be a warning to you all”, says Edmund's speech bubble. Check out his drawing on Twitter. @CoxLettersAvice is exhausted, exams are on, and she has also hosted an At Home Day, with many parents visiting Garfield House School.Enid's street in Liverpool is being renamed and renumbered. It was previously known as Lodge Lane, but is now being renamed Sefton Park Road. Enid also describes more of Edmund's wedding. Also incuded are two Derbyshire newspaper articles, from June 1908, describing the wedding.Bernard and Vera have been on a bicycling expedition and describe it in great detail.And the Franco- British exhibition, which was adjacent to the 1908 London Olympic stadium at White City in London is described, including a wonderful fairground ride called the Flip Flap. There are photos of it online and I will put some up on twitter.All content is subject to copyright, and belongs to Frances Thompson and the Bodleian Library - Why not check out - @CoxLetters - on Twitter, or email – machellcoxletters@gmail.comIntro - 00:00Edmund's letter, 12 June 1908 - 3:53Notes on Edmund's letter - 10:05Avice's letter, 19 June - 15:08Notes on Avice's letter - 17:13Enid's letter, 21 June - 20:30Notes on Enid's letter - 33:08Bernard's letter, 30 June - 41:50Notes on Bernard's letter - 55:48

Professor and author Alexander Mikaberidze offers an in-depth and informative discussion on the Napoleonic Wars. He explains how Napoleon was able to rise to prominence from relative obscurity during the French Revolution. The professor discusses the aspects of the Revolution that Napoleon embraced even after he became an "enlightened despot." Mikaberidze details the impact that the French invasion of Egypt had on the region we now refer to as the Middle East. He entertains the aspects of the Napoleonic Code that were progressive and how in way Napoleon was a progressive leader. He offers his insight into the Franco-British rivalry and how that helped shape the political, economic, and social aspects of the 19th century world. He explains the sale of Louisiana to the United States and Napoleon view of the American nation. The professor covers the failures and disasters that Napoleon encountered including the Continental System, the Peninsular War, and the Invasion of Russia. He finishes with a description of how Napoleon "escaped" from Elba and reestablished himself in France before he was defeated at Waterloo. The discussion includes the legacy of Napoleon and the impact of his policies, successes, and failures on the 20th century and today.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Li'l Napoleon IPA, Pensacola Bay Brewery, FloridaBOOK: The Napoleonic Wars: A Global Historyhttps://www.amazon.com/Napoleonic-Wars-Global-History/dp/0199951063MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/
“America is back”: In this episode, we detail the challenges the new White House faces to fully commit to the UN again, including rejoining all the UN entities and agreements it left, resigned from or defunded under the Trump administration, like the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization.

International editor Manori Ravindran, fresh off the plane from Israel, tells us what went down at Keshet’s INTV conference and what the US firms are looking to do over here.

The Germans attack at Verdun and wreak havoc on the Franco-British plans for the Somme offensive. As the Mill on the Meuse pulls ever more French soldiers into the fire, the British Expeditionary Force takes on a larger role in the coming battle. By the end of May GEN Sir Douglas Haig confirms the BEF will lead the Somme attack on 1 July 1916. The weeks go by and while stating their goals remain the same, the British and French leadership each plan different operations for the same battle. One army looks to carry out a battle of attrition. The other army plans to break through the German trench line and restart the war of movement.

As Winston Churchill watched the French army march past on Bastille Day, 1939, amid the tensions of Europe, he exclaimed "Thank God for the French army ..." and with good reason. France had the best equipped and largest army on the continent. Further bolstered by the virtually impregnable Maginot Line on its eastern border with Germany, a fleet second only to Britain's and a mighty air force, conventional thinking was that the Franco-British forces could and would defeat Germany's Wehrmacht if need be, or starve Germany to death by blockade. In this episode, we learn how a German general came up with the one plan that might succeed in winning the war and how the Battle of France was lost by the Allies, dooming the continent to five years of slaughter and destruction.
