Steven Erlanger, chief diplomatic correspondent in Europe for the New York Times

This week, after President Trump floated a plan for Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, Moscow launched its deadliest strike on Kyiv since last summer. While the attack drew rare criticism from Trump, the administration has offered Kyiv only vague assurances about the country's future security under the proposed plan that was presented as an ultimatum. Meanwhile, a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 tourists has sharply escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, with both nuclear-armed nations engaging in retaliatory diplomatic and economic measures amid fears of further conflict. And in Washington, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces growing scrutiny as reports of internal dysfunction, security leaks, rapid staff turnover, and impulsive decision-making rock the Pentagon. Ravi Agrawal, Steven Erlanger, and Carla Anne Robbins join Ivo Daalder to discuss the week's top global news stories on World Review.

Russia's biggest attack on Kyiv in months, after a day of chaotic diplomacy, ending with the US president accusing Ukraine of prolonging the war. Kyiv has rejected Washington's proposal it concede Crimea and other occupied territory to Moscow. So what's next? In this episode: Peter Zalmayev, Executive Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative. Pavel Felgenhauer, Russian foreign policy analyst.

Since stepping into office, President Trump has shown a willingness to fracture the trans-Atlantic alliance with his tariffs and demands for higher military spending. While tariffs top the agenda, we've also seen President Trump wade into European politics, weighing in on Marine Le Pen's conviction in France. Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times covering Europe, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss the challenges these tariffs present for Europe and the transatlantic partnership, look into the Le Pen conviction, and explore the links between the European right and the MAGA movement.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The Predatory Friend: Trump Treats Europe as Anything but an AllyTrump Weighs In, Making Marine Le Pen's Case Part of the Politics of Grievance‘FREE MARINE LE PEN!'

Turmoil in markets and the financial world as shock-waves from US president Donald Trump's tariffs continue. But despite the widespread alarm, Trump is sticking to his plans. So what's happening and what does it mean for people worldwide? In this episode: Ian Goldin, Professor, Globalisation and Development, University of Oxford.

The past week has thrown the Transatlantic relationship into turmoil, with the shocks for Europe coming one after the other. First Defense Secretary Hegseth said the US is no longer the “primary guarantor” of European security. This was followed up by President Trump's phone call with Russia's Vladimir Putin that seemed to sideline Ukraine and Europe. Then at the Munich Security Conference, Vice President J.D. Vance shocked attendees with a speech critiquing European democracy and effectively calling on Europeans to end the isolation of far-right parties. Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times covering Europe, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Donald Trump's assault on EuropeVance Tells Europeans to Stop Shunning Parties Deemed ExtremeAfter Munich, How Will Europe Handle Trump?European Leaders Meet in Paris as U.S. Pushes Ahead With Ukraine PlanEgypt, Cyprus sign gas export deals, boosting Eastern Mediterranean energy cooperationTop Greek scientist says the Santorini earthquake outlook remains uncertain

As world leaders gather in Munich this week for their annual security conference, Ukraine will once again take center stage – though mainly because of the two people who won't be there. Presidents Trump and Putin discussed the war and committed to work towards peace in a phone call, but didn't commit to involving Ukraine in the talks. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told his counterparts in Brussels that the U.S. had other interests and Europe needed to take care of its own security. A new Council report explains how Europe can do so. To discuss how these transatlantic tensions will play in Munich, Stefan Kornelius and Steven Erlanger join Ivo Daalder in Munich for a special episode of World Review, recording on the sidelines of the year's most important security conference.

Russia and Ukraine are still attacking each other's territory with no sign of a let-up on the battlefield. But the return of Donald Trump as US president is creating new pressure on both sides to end the war. Is that likely? In this Episode: Leonid Ragozin, Independent journalist.

In our final episode of 2024, we'll dig into the stories that are not only dominating the headlines this week but also will command attention well into 2025. First, how is the Syrian revolution already reshaping the Middle East and how will it affect the balance of power in the region? Then, European leaders, including Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO chief Mark Rutte, gathered in Brussels this week ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration to discuss support for Ukraine. What do Trump, Europe, and Zelensky want? Finally, we'll wrap up by addressing President Trump's renewed hostility toward the press and examine what it might mean for press freedom during his second term. Steven Erlanger, Bobby Ghosh, and Carla Anne Robbins join Ivo Daalder to discuss the week's top news stories on World Review.

Russia attacks Ukraine with a new hypersonic missile. Western leaders say it marks a dangerous new phase in the war. The Kremlin says it follows a decision by the White House to let Ukraine fire US missiles into Russian territory. So what could happen next?

Then, President Joe Biden is expected to visit Germany this week and Angola later this year (his first visit to Africa as president). In what are seen as farewell trips, President Biden will discuss conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and alliances and partnerships with President João Lourenço. Plus, what are Canada and India feuding over? Ravi Agrawal, Steven Erlanger, and Carla Anne Robbins join World Review with Ivo Daalder to analyze these issues.

Last weekend, Ukraine held its first peace summit with an aim of presenting a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia. More than 100 countries and international organizations were present, but despite strong support from the West, Russia and China were absent, and key global powers refused to sign the Ukraine peace document.

Over the past few weeks, a growing sense of alarm across Europe over the future of the continent's security has turned into outright panic.As Russia advances on the battlefield in Ukraine, the U.S. Congress has refused to pass billions of dollars in new funding for Ukraine's war effort and Donald Trump has warned European leaders that if they do not pay what he considers their fair share toward NATO, he would not protect them from Russian aggression.Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for The Times, discusses Europe's plans to defend itself against Russia without the help of the United States.Guest: Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times.Background reading: In Europe, there is a dawning recognition that the continent urgently needs to step up its own defense, especially as the U.S. wavers, but the commitments still are not coming.Europe wants to stand on its own militarily.

In this podcast, two old friends in and out of journalism talk about the Middle East war, which comes to feel more like a contest in war crimes. Steven Erlanger joins us—he’s the New York ...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming under increasing pressure for one of the worst security failures in Israel's history. With support dwindling, he issued a rare public apology but ultimately blamed Israeli defense and intelligence officials. Meanwhile, accusations that Israel and Hamas are violating international law prompted ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan to visit the Rafah crossing. Plus, UN Secretary-General António Guterres voiced his concern over the threat of a larger Middle East war. The Council's Ivo Daalder unpacks the unfolding conflict with Deborah Amos, Steven Erlanger, and Gideon Rachman on World Review.

After a very long summer break, “Is This Democracy” is back! We start with a reflection on the terrorist attack on Israel and the ensuing Israel-Hamas war, how it's being discussed in the U.S., and the moral, political, and intellectual obligations that shape our own perspective.   We then tackle the latest round of Speaker drama: It took Kevin McCarthy 15 tries to get elected – and just 269 days later, he is out. Can we learn anything new from this Republican chaos? Maybe not – but it is a crucial reminder of what defines and animates today's GOP. We talk about the dogma of rightwing politics that regards Democrats as not just a political opponent, but a fundamentally illegitimate, “Un-American” enemy that must not be allowed to govern; about the underlying dynamic that explains why moments of chaos almost inevitably result in a further radicalization of the Republican Party; about the GOP's structural weakness, that makes it so hard to discipline individual members like Matt Gaetz; and about the politics and ideology of Steve Scalise who, at the time of recording yesterday, looked like he might become the next Speaker, and what he meant when he described himself as “David Duke without the baggage.” He has now withdrawn - more chaos. Finally, we talk about recurring themes that shape mainstream media coverage of these events in predictably misleading fashion: There is the idea that only Democrats have agency – and therefore are ultimately to be blamed for the chaos; and the pervasive trope of government “dysfunction” that entirely obscures the actual issue, but allows the media to take a “neutral” position from which it can blame “both sides.”     Show notes – articles that have particularly shaped this week's discussion (not necessarily endorsements, mind you!):   Gideon Levi, Israel can't imprison 2 million Gazans without paying a cruel price, Haaretz, October 9, 2023 https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-10-09/ty-article-opinion/.premium/israel-cant-imprison-2-million-gazans-without-paying-a-cruel-price/0000018b-1476-d465-abbb-14f6262a0000   The Hamas Attacks and Israeli Response: An Explainer, Jewish Currents, October 10, 2023 https://jewishcurrents.org/the-hamas-attacks-and-israeli-response-an-explainer   Emily Tamkin, What Does It Mean to Stand with Israel?, Slate, October 10, 2023 https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/israel-hamas-war-palestine-stand-with-israel-netanyahu.html   Eric Levitz, A Left That Refuses to Condemn Mass Murder Is Doomed, New York Magazine, October 11, 2023 https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/a-left-that-refuses-to-condemn-mass-murder-is-doomed.html   Steven Erlanger, As War Rages, Netanyahu Battles for Reputation and Legacy, New York Times, October 10, 2023 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/10/world/europe/netanyahu-israel-gaza-war.html   Ronald Brownstein, The Only Sin that Republicans Can't Forgive, The Atlantic, October 3, 2023 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/10/the-only-sin-that-republicans-cant-forgive/675534/n     Moira Donegan, McCarthy ouster shows Republicans don't want to govern - and they don't want anyone else to either, The Guardian, October 4, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/04/republicans-freedom-caucus-kevin-maccarthy   Osita Nwanevu, The McCarthy debacle barely scrapes the surface of how dysfunctional Congress is, The Guardian, October 6, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/06/kevin-mccarthy-congress-corruption-ageing   What is Broken in American Politics Is the Republican Party, Politico, October 6, 2023 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/10/06/republican-leaders-mccarthy-expert-roundup-00120170 Follow The Show⁠ ⁠Follow Thomas⁠ ⁠Follow Lily⁠ This episode was produced by ⁠Connor Lynch

Chris, Zack, and Melanie talk about the massing of Russian troops near Ukraine's eastern border and the Biden administration's efforts to deter Putin from invading Ukraine. What is Putin's motivation for the actions of the last several months? Are the Biden team's threats of crippling economic sanctions in the case of an invasion credible? How will the different interests of individual NATO allies affect what President Joe Biden is able to promise in upcoming discussions? Could our handling of this potential crisis make it more likely that China will try to take Taiwan? Chris has some thoughts on media coverage of Omicron, Zack wishes Donald Trump would stop praising leaders with authoritarian tendencies, and Melanie laments that the Biden administration has still not developed an economic strategy for Asia.

The world's biggest leaders have been face-to-face in a series of meetings. But as always, nobody from the press was allowed in the room.
