Europe is far from stepping up on defence, top diplomat Pierre Vimont says

Vimont argues that the EU needs to develop much longer-term strategic thinking, whether on Ukraine and Russia, or China, or the Middle East, or the EU’s own near neighbourhood.

Crunch time for new European Commission: European Parliament grills candidates
It’s a ritual that happens every five years, and also a test for two of the EU’s key institutions. Once all the European Commission’s new members have been designated, they go through confirmation hearings before the European Parliament. The parliament gets to flex its muscles vis-à-vis the EU executive and probe beyond the niceties of designates saying the right things about their commitment to European values. Getting through these grillings is not a foregone conclusion: last time, in 2019, three commissioner-designates were rejected. We ask our apnel of MEPs what they look for in a hearing, and if they see any of the current candidates as being particularly problematic.

The gender gap in the US election: Will abortion rights tip the result or not?
In a special edition, we’re focusing on the US presidential election, which is no doubt the most momentous election ever for American women in the nation’s history with the demise of Roe v. Wade in 2022. We are also witnessing a particularly large gender voting gap, with more men leaning towards the Republicans’ Donald Trump, while the Democrats’ Kamala Harris is attracting a greater number of female voters. So how will this gender gap impact voting? Is America going to have its first-ever woman president and a woman of colour at that? Or is Donald Trump and his hardline conservative views on gender equality going to get a second term in the White House with all of its implications for the future of democracy? Annette Young is joined by author, Ellen Kountz; Dan Hazelwood, a Republican strategist and Carter Sherman, the reproductive health reporter for The Guardian US.
