On today’s show:

EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič has arrived in Beijing for a crucial two-day visit seeking to rebalance EU-China trade relations, which have become increasingly lopsided in the past decade. Jorge Liboreiro explains the high stakes of this trip, which comes just days before the October EU summit.

Estelle Nilsson-Julien reports from Paris on the student protests in France, as they brace for another major day on the streets after trade unions joined demonstrations that drew more than 250,000 people across the country on Tuesday.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been in Athens for the sixth round of the US–Greece Strategic Dialogue, to discuss security, defence and energy. Speaking last night, he said Europe needs to awaken from its “long slumber”. Fay Doulgkeri breaks it all down from Athens.

Mared Gwyn interviews the UK Minister for European Relations, Hamish Falconer, after UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would weigh a “range of options” for the future relationship with the EU, including the possibility of rejoining the bloc.

We also speak to Belgian MEP Marc Botenga (The Left) about a new proposal to halve MEPs’ net salaries, from €8,800 to €4,400. Critics call it a populist move to grab the public’s attention.
