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.

French President Emmanuel Macron has begun a three-day state visit to Britain. The visit will see Macron address the British Parliament and attend several meetings with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

King Charles had hoped for an informal meeting with Donald Trump ahead of an historic second State visit. But the 45th and 47th US President will go straight to maximum with a full invitation with all the trappings for this September.  Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss the announcement, the diplomacy around it and what comes next, as well as the latest Windsor visit of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. They also look at the Wales' week, where Kate remains out of the spotlight after her Ascot withdrawal while birthday boy Prince William has turned his attention to Earthshot and London climate action week, with Homewards next in the calendar - and we've all gone doolally for the puppies.   Plus the team welcome the selection of the memorial for the late Queen, puzzle over passports and get thirsty for rosé.

At 91.2 proof, this bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat for a softer, more approachable profile while maintaining the distillery's signature character. Our side-by-side analysis reveals how oxygen exposure dramatically enhances this whiskey's profile over time.Our freshly-opened 2025 bottle immediately impressed with its long legs in the glass and a beautiful body that coated every corner of the mouth.

On the palate, it delivered a remarkable cherry transition that one taster described as a "cherry flavored cigar" with a lengthy finish that earned it high marks in our rating system.Meanwhile, the 2023 bottle that had breathed for a year showed the magic that happens with patience. Its nose had transformed to showcase significant caramel development, while the taste featured an intense "momentary butterscotch" explosion that transitioned beautifully to cherry notes. Though its finish was shorter than the fresh bottle, its evolved complexity earned it equal overall points through different strengths.Whether you're new to wheated bourbons or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into how these spirits develop over time.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine.
