France's Marine Le Pen Acquitted in Case Over Violating Hate Speech Laws

Our main topics will obviously be the war in Ukraine following the Trump-Putin call and the catastrophic situation in the Middle East.

However I would like to say some things about the situation in the UK. I don't think outsiders understand quite how bad things are here. The fact that Starmer is now overwhelmingly focusing on foreign affairs, delusional though that is, is symptomatic of this, and is by the way an attitude broadly shared by the UK's entire political class. Governments that fail - and this one is failing badly - often retreat into foreign policy as they give up dealing with the mounting problems at home. I have seen this happen many times, though not in the UK, or at least not as badly as is now the case.

Please remember that because of the earlier shift in clocks in the US our programme will be 1 hour earlier than usual in Europe.

Speak to you all then!
