Ode to dread: Europe after Trump

This week European leaders have lined up to charm Donald Trump. But the broad smiles belie a bigger fear: what would it mean for the continent’s security if America forsakes its security guarantees? What the pull-out of French forces will mean for Africa (10:56). And the Maha Kumbh Mela shows how piety became political in India (18:55).

Putin on the Ritz: Trump and Europe

On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, American-European relations are hanging on by a thread. Donald Trump seems willing to make major concessions to end the war in Ukraine. European leaders are preparing for a post-NATO world. What really are Trump’s plans for Ukraine and the rest of Europe? And how will America’s allies on the other side of the Atlantic respond? John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. They’re joined by Kori Schake of the American Enterprise Institute, and The Economist’s David Rennie.

The Weekend Intelligence: Athens Confidential

Athens. Home of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Well spring of democracy and philosophy. More recently famed for its graffiti, riots and the longest recession in modern history. But in this episode of The Weekend Intelligence, Fani Papageorgiou argues that her home city is much more than the sum of these parts. What defines Athens for those who love it, like Fani, is something even more uniquely Greek.

Triple threat: the European economy has a Trump problem

Europe’s economy is in trouble. Growth has been moribund for a decade and a half. Worries about the continent's shaky fiscal foundations and its heavy regulatory burden are only growing. Now, governments across the continent have a third economic threat to worry about: Donald Trump. The US president has threatened tariffs on European exports and told Nato allies they should spend 5% of GDP on defence—an unaffordable expense for most of the region. So how much trouble is Europe in? Hosts: Mike Bird and Ethan Wu. Guests: The Economist’s Christian Odendahl and Stanley Pignal; and Luis Garicano, an economist and former member of the European Parliament.

Phase transition? Gaza’s shaky peace

The first phase of Gaza’s ceasefire is near its end, but planning for the even more fraught second phase has hardly begun. What chance for near-term peace? We examine the harmful outcomes from the Trump administration’s slashing funding for America’s science institutions (9:45). And “I’m Still Here”, an Oscar-tipped film, confronts Brazilians with a dark past many had chosen to forget (18:35). Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

Designing babies: is there any future for gene-edited embryos?

The world was shocked in 2018 when He Jiankui, a Chinese biophysicist, announced that he had helped to produce two girls whose genetic code he had edited when they had been embryos. His aim had been to tweak a gene that sometimes confers protection against HIV infections. No one had ever used the CRISPR gene-editing tool in reproduction before and it was completely untested in embryos. Scientists around the world condemned the work as wildly premature and possibly dangerous—the Chinese authorities agreed and Dr He was imprisoned for three years. Now, more than six years later, Dr He is back. And he still wants to prevent medical conditions by editing human embryos. But will the world ever be ready for this use of gene editing? Or will newer methods of editing human genes prove more promising? Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor. Contributors: Emilie Steinmark, science correspondent at The Economist; Chinese researcher He Jiankui; Henry (Hank) Greely of the Stanford Centre for Biomedical Ethics; Panicos Shangaris of King's College Hospital.

Emmanuel dexterity: Trump and Macron chat

The meeting between France’s and America’s presidents had a familiarly chummy feel. We ask whether Emmanuel Macron’s charm offensive might have changed Donald Trump’s mind on security matters. Norway’s stocks of wild salmon are in trouble—owing in part to their farmed brethren (9:42). And how the Michelin Guide is trying to maintain its tastemaking primacy (17:20).

How are the next generations going to make business plans for a shrinking world population? About 2 podcast interviews per month are needed, I think.
Excelent to leave Trump behind

Luis Mario León

Once you stop talking everyday about Trump, you have improved the quality of the topics, there are so much broader themes to cover.

Excellent podcast, but I don’t understand the need to add 3 ads to the podcast. I don’t mind listening at the beginning, but at the middle!?
