Camille Cottin

It’s fair to say that Camille Cottin does NOT need you to call her agent. She played the brilliant Andrea Martel, a glamorous, ruthless rep for France’s A-list actors in the razor-sharp French series Call My Agent! The comedy, following a celebrity talent agency in Paris, featured a string of cameos including Juliette Binoche, Isabelle Huppert and Sigourney Weaver. It originally aired on the public France 2 channel before finding huge global success on Netflix. We saw Camille grace the silver screen in 2021's House of Gucci, starring Lady Gaga, and Stillwater, a dramatic thriller alongside Matt Damon. More recently, we’ve seen her return to our screens as assassin recruiter Hélène in Killing Eve.

The Times' Giles Coren and Times Radio's Ayesha Hazarika join Stig Abell and Aasmah Mir to discuss Cop, the government's victory on its Rwanda bill and if ultra-processed foods really are "hijacking children's taste buds".

Israel strikes back

Israel is reported to have conducted airstrikes inside Iran early on Friday morning, hitting targets in several cities. Officials in Tehran quickly denied that it had been attacked, but have also said there are no plans for immediate retaliation. So have we just avoided World War III? Or are we just about to begin? Chloe Tilley and Dermot Murnaghan ask Baroness Morgan, Nicky Morgan, former Education Secretary and Lord McConnell, Jack McConnell, former First Minister of Scotland. Plus, Rishi Sunak could strip GPs of the right to sign people off sick, Keir Starmer could stip the "grey belt" of its building protections and Ofcom say a quarter of children aged 5-7 are using smartphones.
