Economic crisis, political turmoil: what is happening in France?
Why has France just lost its fourth prime minister in two years? Why is its debt spiralling out of control? Is the EU going to have to bail it out? Yalda is in Paris answering all these questions as she covers the fall of Emmanuel Macron's latest prime minister. Thousands say they will descend on the streets, while opposition politicians call for Mr Macron to stand down. But will he go? Richard is still in the Middle East, where he visited the scene of the bus depot attack in Jerusalem and tells Yalda what he saw. He has also been in the West Bank where settler violence is increasing, and the Israeli government has decided whether it will annexe parts of it. What does this all mean if France and Britain choose to recognise a state of Palestine later this month? To get in touch or to share questions, email [email protected]

Has China humiliated Trump?
Has Vladimir Putin traded Donald Trump for Xi Jinping? Yalda and Richard are back from their summer break and unpack the summit in Beijing. The leaders of Russia, India and North Korea are all there - but what is going on? And what will President Trump make of it? Richard is recording from Israel where hundreds of thousands of people have been out on the streets protesting against the war in Gaza. He has spoken to the family member of a hostage killed by Hamas, who tells him why the military campaign must now end. The two also reflect on the latest killing of journalists by Israel, with the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza now reaching 189. International media is not allowed to freely report in the territory. And Yalda gives an update on the devastating earthquake in Afghanistan and explains why it is women and girls who could suffer the most in the days and weeks to come.
