Can Andy Burnham DEFEAT Nigel Farage?

Andy Burnham is the favourite to replace Keir Starmer as the new UK Prime Minister after he resigned. Despite winning a landslide victory less than two years ago, Labour has been trailing Nigel Farage's Reform UK in the polls for months. Starmer's policy U-turns, falling popularity and decision to appoint Epstein-linked Peter Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US all contributed to his downfall. Labour MPs are putting their faith in former Mayor of Manchester Burnham to turn the party around. He could be in place in a matter of weeks as no other candidate has come forward to challenge him for the leadership. Will Burnham be able to solve the UK’s problems and beat Nigel Farage at the next general election?

Brexit: Were there ANY benefits to the UK leaving the EU?

Why are Poland and Ukraine locked in a diplomatic row?

Relations between Poland and Ukraine have become strained after President Zelenskyy named a military unit after controversial World War Two fighters, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Although regarded as heroes in some parts of Ukraine, in Poland they are remembered for massacring one hundred thousand ethnic Poles in what is now Ukraine. The UPA also collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. Poland’s president Karol Nawrocki says the move by President Zelenskyy amounts to the ‘glorification’ of bandits and killers by Ukraine.

‘Super’ El Nino set to bring extreme weather and record heat

El Nino weather patterns have officially begun and scientists warn it could unleash a new wave of record extreme heat across the globe. Forecasters suggest this could be one of the strongest El Nino events on record, raising concerns over the impact on food production and economies. Climate change means the world is significantly hotter since the last 'super' El Nino case in 1998 - so how is this El Nino likely to hit - and is the world prepared? Joining Enda Brady for this discussion: Kamal Kishore Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction Jim Dale Founder and Senior Meteorological Consultant at British Weather Services John Harding Director of the Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems at the World Meteorological Organization Marc Alessi Climate Science Fellow at the Union of Concerned Scientists Follow the podcast to keep up to date and access the back catalogue of Roundtable discussions at https://www.youtube.com/@RoundtableTRTWorld Hosted on Acast.

Will Macron's nuclear defence plan work?

France is expanding its nuclear deterrence strategy to protect Europe against Russian aggression amid doubts over the United States' commitment to the continent. Nine European allies, including the UK, Germany and Poland have agreed to join the plan, signalling a major shift in Europe's defence strategy. With Norway the latest country to sign up, France is positioning itself as a central pillar of European security - but will this plan work or is it a 'high-risk gamble'?

Is Finland's economy emerging from a two-decade rut?

Finland's economy has lagged behind other EU countries in recent years weighed down by high unemployment, a housing downturn and rising public debt. Real GDP has still not fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis with further setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine. But the first quarter of this year has seen signs of its economy improving. Could Finland now be emerging from decades of stagnation?

Is Poland’s Nawrocki Trump’s new ‘man in Europe’?

The United States is sending an additional 5,000 troops to Poland after President Trump overruled the Pentagon and his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who had announced plans to ditch the deployment. President Trump cited his strong relationship with the Polish President Karol Nawrocki who he endorsed when he ran for office last May. The move to send more troops to Poland comes as the US reduces its military presence in Germany, pulling out 5,000 troops after Chancellor Merz angered Trump over the Iran war. It highlights Poland’s growing role as a key US ally, driven by its strong defence spending, alignment with Trump policies, and increasingly strained relations between Washington and other European partners. But the country’s pro-EU and left-liberal PM, Donald Tusk, is playing the other side of the transatlantic alliance, by pushing for further defence cooperation with the EU. Can Poland have its cake and eat it?
