Two recent landmark reports on the European Union's economy paint an unforgiving picture of its vulnerabilities, suggesting the region faces the prospect of "slow agony". At current productivity and demographic trends, Europe's economic output is forecast to be the same in 2050 as it is today. With much of the power to correct course residing in national capitals, what will it take for leaders to rise to the challenge?

The biggest political story of the year - David Cameron's involvement with the failed financial company Greensill - began as a scoop in The Financial Times. The newspaper has gained a reputation lately for its long-form investigations into poverty, deprivation and capitalist excess. But is there something inherently odd about the stockbroker's paper of choice taking on crusading topics? And how hard is it to take over the editorship of a newspaper already in rude health? Guest: Roula Khalaf, editor of The Financial Times. Studio engineer: Duncan Hannant Producer: Hannah Sander Presenter: Amol Rajan

Gideon talks to Roula Khalaf, FT editor, and Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator, about the extraordinary events of 2020 - from Covid-19 to the US election and unexpected signs of reconciliation between Israel and Arab Gulf states.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Black Lives Matter protests inspired by the killing of George Floyd continued around the world over the weekend. Minneapolis City Council is now pledging to dismantle the police department, and replace it with community-based strategies, but not everyone agrees that abolishing the department is the right approach. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Thenjiwe McHarris, a strategist for The Movement for Black Lives, and Alex Vitale, coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College, to discuss what defunding the police could look like. And then, partisan politics has played a major role in conversations around police defunding, with only one Republican senator having come out in favor so far. U.S. House Republican Adam Kinzinger spent the weekend serving in the National Guard in Wisconsin and he joins Christiane to give his perspective on the defunding initiative and reflect on President Trump’s now infamous photo opportunity outside St John's Church, Washington. And Editor of the Financial Times, Roula Khalaf, speaks to our Walter Isaacson about how the Trump administration’s response to the current protests is impacting America’s moral authority and where the U.S. now stands in relation to the world’s autocracies.

This is a conversation with Lebanese-British journalist and editor Zahra Hankir. She's the editor of the award-winning, best-selling anthology Our Women on the Ground which features 19 women reporters from the Middle East and North Africa. The book includes essay by Donna Abu-Nasr, Aida Alami, Hannah Allam, Jane Arraf, Lina Attalah, Nada Bakri, Shamael Elnoor, Zaina Erhaim, Asmaa al-Ghoul, Hind Hassan, Eman Helal, Zeina Karam, Roula Khalaf, Nour Malas, Hwaida Saad, Amira Al-Sharif, Heba Shibani, Lina Sinjab, and Natacha Yazbeck. Zahra spoke to me about the formation of this book and how she started following some of these reporters in the context of the 2011 uprisings throughout the region. I also asked her about how women reporters in the region navigate gender-based discrimination to get the stories they want told as well as her reflections on the politics of representation in the Western world.

Peter Spiegel is US managing editor of the Financial Times. After studying at UPenn and the LSE, he spent five years as a staff writer for Forbes before moving into the defence and security brief for the FT, the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal. In 2010, he went back to the FT as bureau chief in Brussels, reporting on the Eurozone crisis and the origins of Brexit. In 2016, he was promoted to news editor. Last year Peter was promoted to US managing editor and moved to New York, where he runs the US bureau network and leads the news operation across all its platforms. In this in-depth interview, he talks about covering “money in politics” in a US presidential election year as the Democrats struggle to find a Trump-beater; maintaining a distinctive British voice under the ownership of Nikkei and Roula Khalaf’s new editorship; and developing the paper’s footprint in the US, described by former editor Lionel Barber as a “land of expansion”.[Editor’s note: this podcast was recorded in New York on 27th February 2020, before the onset of the coronavirus public health crisis.]

La nouvelle directrice de la rédaction du « Financial Times » s’appelle Roula Khalaf. Née au Liban, spécialiste du Proche-Orient, elle parle français et arabe. Elle est surtout la première femme à la tête de cette « bible des milieux financiers » qu’est le « FT » depuis sa création il y a plus de 130 ans. Fondé en 1888, le quotidien britannique est devenu depuis la référence du monde économique et financier. Qui est donc celle qui après avoir été pendant trois ans la numéro deux du Financial Times se retrouve aujourd'hui à sa tête ? Sa vocation de journaliste Cheveux couleur miel, les yeux noisette, Roula Khalaf est née au Liban où elle a grandi pendant la guerre civile. Elle en parle dans un court film My City : Beïrut qu’elle a réalisé pour le site internet du Financial Times : « La maison de mes grands-parents était sur ce petit lopin de terre situé au Mont Liban à 20 minutes de Beyrouth. On venait ici avec toute ma famille passer nos vacances. Mes plus vifs souvenirs d'enfance remontent à ce village, Souk El Gharb. C'était un lieu de villégiature. Mais pendant la guerre, il est devenu l'épicentre de plusieurs batailles. Dans les années quatre-vingt-dix il n'en restait plus rien. Cette première expérience directe de la politique devait me pousser, des années plus tard, à devenir journaliste. » Après la guerre civile comme bon nombre de ses jeunes compatriotes de l’époque, Roula Khalaf décide de partir. C'est à New York qu'elle étudie les affaires internationales. Diplômée de l'Université de Columbia, elle travaille pour le magazine Forbes avant d'intégrer en 1995 le Financial Times. Tour à tour correspondante, reporter et commentatrice de l'actualité internationale cette Libano-britannique qui manie le français, l'arabe et l'anglais commente notamment le Printemps arabe. Nommée rédactrice en chef à la tête d'un réseau de plus de 100 correspondants elle apporte au journal la diversité au sein de la rédaction, mais aussi un nouveau public plus féminin. Femme dans un milieu d’hommes Aujourd'hui, cette vision plus large de l'actualité consacre sa nomination. Tsuneo Kita, président du groupe japonais Nikkei qui possède le Financial Times, assure accorder à Roula Khalaf toute sa confiance. Après mûre réflexion, il aurait rejeté plusieurs candidats de poids, notent Jim Waterson et Mattha Busby dans l'éditorial consacré à la nouvelle patronne. Un changement de la direction qui est aussi un signal fort donné au milieu des affaires encore très masculin, estime Nadine Toussaint-Desmoulins, professeur-émérite de l'Université Paris 2, spécialiste en économie des médias : « Ça fait partie d’un mouvement plus général. On a nommé ainsi plusieurs femmes à la tête de grandes sociétés d’informatique ou d’organisations internationales. Prenons l’exemple de Christine Lagarde, la nouvelle patronne de la Banque centrale européenne, anciennement à la tête du Fonds monétaire international qui s’étonne parfois d’être la seule femme dans des réunions. » Les défis qui l’attendent Le Financial Times revendique un million de lecteurs payants, essentiellement en ligne, dont près d'un quart à l'étranger. La nouvelle cheffe devra poursuivre cette internationalisation face à ses concurrents, parmi lesquels l'agence Bloomberg ou le Wall Street Journal. Le Financial Times est parfois décrit comme la « Bible des milieux financiers ». Reconnaissable à ses pages saumon, c'est aussi un quotidien qui rapporte. Malgré une baisse de ventes papier, il enregistre 30 millions d'euros de bénéfices par an. Le quotidien britannique ne craint pas les contradictions. Défenseur de la mondialisation libérale, il a pris dernièrement position en faveur d'une plus grande régulation du secteur financier : « La force du Financial Times est incontestablement la qualité de ses informations. Le fait qu’il apporte un contenu qui correspond à un désir d’achat et donc à un abonnement payant. En France on s’intéresse beaucoup moins à l’économie, en tout cas jusqu’à une période récente. Cet intérêt est plus répandu dans les pays anglo-saxons. Les Echos,La Tribune n’ont jamais eu un million d’acheteurs. Ils ont été, pour certains, en difficulté ou ont même disparu », conclut Nadine Toussaint-Desmoulins. Maintenir la qualité de l'information pour attirer de nouveaux lecteurs prêts à payer accès aux articles du Financial Times, ce sera l'autre grand défi de la nouvelle directrice.

The original Forbes expose of Jordan Belfort - printed under the headline "Steaks, stocks - what's the difference?" by Roula Khalaf - sounds like the kind of thing that Shaun would offer as recommended reading at the end of an episode of NPMIAO, but it made its way to director Martin Scorsese first, acting as a piece of the puzzle that ended up becoming "The Wolf of Wall Street", the premier example of the financial crime biopic sub-genre. Flash-forward six years, the latest entry in the canon - Steven Soderbergh's "The Laundromat" - offers similar shades, making it ripe for comparison.

Roula Khalaf is deputy editor of the Financial Times. Described in 1991 as an “insolent reporter from Forbes magazine” by the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Jordan Belfort, she was subsequently fictionalised in the Oscar-winning film. Starting as their North Africa correspondent in 1995, her rise though the FT ranks has been consistent – as Middle East editor she launched their regional edition, and led their coverage of the Arab Spring. In this in-depth interview, she celebrates the “rebirth of fact checking” prompted by the Trump presidency, discusses the implications of Brexit through a global financial lens, and describes the role AI plays in their journalism – including the “Janet Bot” which alerts editors to the under-representation of women within its pages.
