On today’s show:

Emma Rafowicz, French Socialist MEP, discusses the student protests that culminated in a mass gathering at the Place de la Bastille, after Jean-Luc Mélenchon declared “the Bastille has been retaken”, and whether France is heading for a debt crisis.

Helen Clark, former New Zealand prime minister and outgoing chair of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, joins the show as more than 1,000 delegates from over 50 countries gather in Brussels amid pressure on energy security and the scramble for critical raw materials.

Yulia Klymenko, member of the Ukrainian parliament, discusses Volodymyr Zelenskyy‘s criticism of US “unwillingness” to help Ukraine, ahead of talks in Miami with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and the Russian glide-bomb strike that killed at least 33 civilians in Kramatorsk.

Maia de la Baume speaks to Rima Hassan, the French MEP of Palestinian origin, about the flags row in Strasbourg and the European Parliament procedure that could follow.
