First: Putin has set a trap for Europe and Ukraine ‘Though you wouldn't know from the smiles in the White House this week… a trap has been set by Vladimir Putin to split the United States from its European allies,' warns Owen Matthews. The Russian President wants to make a deal with Donald Trump, but he ‘wants to make it on his own terms'. ‘Putin would like nothing more than for Europe to encourage Ukraine to fight on… and lose even more of their land'. But, as Owen writes, those who count themselves among the country's friends must ask ‘whether it's time to choose an unjust peace over a just but never-ending war'. Have European leaders walked into Putin's trap? Owen joins the podcast alongside Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times. Next: Lionel Shriver, Toby Young & Igor Toronyi-Lalic on the decline of shame in society A rise in brazen shoplifting, attempts to police public spaces and moralising over ‘Art' – these are all topics touched on by columnists Lionel Shriver and Toby Young and Arts editor Igor Toronyi-Lalic in the magazine this week. Are these individual problems in their own right, or could they be symptomatic of wider failings in British society? Lionel, Toby and Igor joined the podcast to try to make sense of why guilt and shame seem to have disappeared in modern Britain.And finally: the hell of owning a holiday rentalWilliam Cash writes in the magazine this week about the trials and tribulations of running a holiday let. He complains that the lines between hotels and holiday lets have become blurred, and people of all ages are now becoming guests from hell. He writes: ‘it has become increasingly evident that middle class families have no idea how to behave on holiday… basic guest decorum seems to belong to a different summer holiday age'. So how did things get so bad? William joined the podcast alongside Spectator columnist Melissa Kite – who runs her own B&B in Ireland.Plus: ahead of the long weekend, Mark Mason reveals who we can thank for bank holidays. Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

President Trump's promise to stop the war in Ukraine may be more tricky to pull off than he hoped. Ukraine has agreed to pause the fighting and sit at the negotiating table but so far there's little sign that the Russian President is willing to even entertain a ceasefire. Is there any chance Trump can pull off this peace deal?Writer: Chloe HadjimatheouProducer: Ada BaruméHost: Claudia Williams Executive producer: Rebecca Moore Hosted on Acast.

President Zelenskyy has signed up to Donald Trump's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia and in return American arms and intelligence have started flowing into Ukraine again, but the question now is whether Vladimir Putin will agree to a pause in hostilities. The Russian President knows every KGB trick in the book and is likely to resist giving up territory and prisoners. How does Donald Trump get him on board for a peace deal that lasts longer than the time it will take Russia to regroup and rearm? So far the main Russian response has been another barrage of missiles targeting cities across Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv. For this episode of the Fourcast Krishan Guru-Murthy is joined by Channel 4 News International Editor Lindsey Hilsum who is in the city. Produced by Calum Fraser, Ka Yee Mak and Rob Thomson.

On Friday, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had an intense (like...historically intense) conversation in the Oval Office — when a potential mineral deal signing turned into President Trump kicking President Zelenskyy out of the office.  Many news outlets were quick to criticize this meeting, accusing the President of sucking up to Russian President Vladimir Putin by asking the Ukrainian President some tough questions. So when did asking other foreign leaders tough questions at the White House become a bad thing? Kennedy and Jimmy Failla remind everyone about the nuance and key historical context that lies behind the Russia-Ukraine War. Together, they debunk blind partisanship and explain how people can hate the Russian President while also having reservations about the war in Ukraine. Learn more about your ad choices.
