In our special year-end edition show, we look back at just a few of the major events that marked 2016: the election of Donald Trump, the Brexit referendum vote in the UK, the terrorist attacks in Brussels and Berlin, the failed military coup in Turkey, demonetization in India and Venezuela, and finally the great public figures we lost throughout the year.
In today’s Debate, we turn the clocks back 100 years. In the 1917, the British pound ruled the markets, World War I brought Europe to its knees and the US embarked on the road to global superpower. Tsarist Russia was on the edge of a Bolshevik Revolution and the Ottoman Empire was the “sick man of Europe”. A changing world order then, and perhaps a changing world order now too. ‘Make America Great Again’ and Brexit: new cries for the nation-state of old?
From the U.S. elections to the Olympics in Rio, from France's state of emergency to the Pope's next big pronouncement, François Picard's panel of journalists looks at what lies ahead in 2016.
Our panel of international journalists take a look at President Trump's first foreign tour, looking at the ups and the downs and analysing what has been achieved. They also discuss this week's attacks in both Manchester and Egypt, and the international reactions that followed. And finally the panel look back at the life of the actor who played James Bond in seven films, Sir Roger Moore, who died on Tuesday at the age of 89.
It was clear from the outset that this campaign would upend French politics. Then with a little more than 24 hours of campaigning left a 39-year old convict targeted police on Paris' Champs-Elysées, killing an officer, injuring three, dying in a hail of bullets and stealing everyone's attention. How will this impact the election? With the top four candidates still neck-and-and neck, our panel of international journalists try to make sense of an election unlike any France has seen before.
