The Debate
War at what price? Russia, NATO weigh cost of Ukraine showdown
25-01-2022
The West still doesn't know why war in Ukraine might happen, but it increasingly seems like it's happening. Kiev is trying to keep calm and rally support while being surrounded on three sides and being the recent victim of a cyberattack that feels like a dry run.
The Debate
Coup in Burkina Faso: What next after ouster of President Kaboré?
24-01-2022
Saying they feel exposed in the face of an Islamist insurgency rampant across the Sahel region, soldiers in Burkina Faso have taken to national television to confirm the ousting of President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré...

Final countdown: Anxious, divided America votes
03-11-2020
It's November 3 and a divided nation is going to the polls in the middle of a pandemic. With record early voting, there will be an anxious wait for results from the US presidential election. Will the loser concede gracefully, or could the United States face a constitutional crisis?
The Debate
Can the party last? Johnson defies calls for leadership challenge
20-01-2022
Is he living on borrowed time, or does Boris Johnson's brand of populism make the British PM scandal-proof? It's certainly not great optics when a Tory MP crosses the aisle to join the Labour opposition benches during Prime Minister's Questions...
The Debate
Powerless Europe? Soaring prices expose EU's energy dependence
19-01-2022
With prices at the pump surging and a showdown looming with major gas supplier Russia, the French president addressed the European Parliament to mark France's rotating presidency of the bloc. We ask about what Emmanuel Macron said and didn't say about the highest fuel prices in seven years..
The Debate
If Russia did invade: How far would the West go to support Ukraine?
18-01-2022
How strong is the West's resolve when it comes to Ukraine? A steady diet of diplomacy is so far failing to lift the uncertainty over Vladimir Putin's true intentions when it comes to those 100,000 troops amassed at the border.
The Debate
China in a bubble: Can Winter Olympics keep out Omicron?
17-01-2022
Call it an Olympic-sized gamble. Ahead of Chinese New Year holiday travel and the Winter Games, authorities there are sticking to their zero-Covid policy. As Omicron tears through much of the rest of the world, can the coronavirus really be barred from the Beijing Olympics?
The Debate
All about the unvaccinated? How to manage the Omicron wave
13-01-2022
Authorities in Europe are being very cautious, but it seems the record-breaking infection rate of the Omicron variant could soon be followed by a sharp decline in Covid-19 cases. This scenario still leaves the most vulnerable at risk, such as the elderly..
The Debate
Kazakhstan's changing of the guard: What next for former Soviet republic after crackdown?
12-01-2022
Order has been restored in Kazakhstan after protests turned to open revolt in clashes last week. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev calls it an attempted coup, blaming foreign terror networks, but he's also arrested the former head of security left over from his once all-powerful predecessor...
The Debate
Mali under embargo: Why is regional bloc ECOWAS coming down hard on junta?
11-01-2022
Why are Mali's neighbours coming down hard? A harsh embargo has been decided after coup leaders in that landlocked West African state reneged on their promise of a quick return to civilian rule. How harsh? We talk border closures and trade embargoes.
The Debate
On Putin's terms? From Ukraine escalation to US-Russia talks
10-01-2022
Is it better than Putin bargained for? Critics of Geneva talks between Cold War rivals say they reward the Kremlin for its massive troop build-up on the Ukrainian border. Would the United States be sitting down with Russia without the threat of an invasion? Is it better to talk or not to talk?
The Debate
The shadow of January 6: Which way for democracy in America?
07-01-2022
On the first anniversary of the US Capitol assault, the arrests and revelations keep coming over a planned insurrection, encouraged and never denounced by an outgoing president who was trying to stop the certification of an election he had lost...
The Debate
European campaign? Macron mounts re-election bid amid French EU presidency
05-01-2022
When Emmanuel Macron first ran for president five years ago, he touted himself as a disruptor; a leader who could reform France from outside the box of the traditional political parties. It turns out the reformer can sometimes be a loose cannon.
The Debate
Erdogan's gamble: What's behind Turkey's soaring inflation?
04-01-2022
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is defying the standard prescriptions for inflation – the country's worst in nearly two decades – by burning through currency reserves and central bank governors to keep interest rates low. As those reserves dwindle and lines lengthen at subsidised bakeries..
The Debate
Post-coup showdown in Sudan: No room for compromise after PM Hamdok's resignation?
03-01-2022
Resignation of the Sudanese civilian PM Hamdok deprives coup leaders of their face of being the natural continuity between the revolution that toppled longtime strongman Omar el-Bachir in 2019 and a junta that's since scrapped power sharing and jailed key architects of the transition to democracy.
The Debate
Inside the new Afghanistan: FRANCE 24's exclusive look at life under the Taliban
16-12-2021
What's it really like inside the new Afghanistan? Four months after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, FRANCE 24 went to the capital and beyond to speak to citizens from all walks of life. What they heard was a mix: relief that the guns have gone quiet but worry over the prospect of a bleak winter.
The Debate
Leaving Timbuktu: What next as France redeploys in northern Mali?
15-12-2021
Nine years after Timbuktu welcomed them as liberators, French troops are withdrawing from their final outpost in Mali's north. There are no cries of mission accomplished: the jihadist radicals who scattered when French-led forces intervened in 2013..
The Debate
What's the alternative? Time running out to rescue Iran nuclear deal
14-12-2021
With Tehran feared to be weeks away from a point of no return on nuclear weapons, are we looking down the barrel of an arms race in the Middle East? With little optimism in the air for the current round of talks in Vienna, where might this leave the Biden administration?
The Debate
Boris Johnson on the edge: Is the UK PM the problem or just a symptom?
01-01-2022
Are Boris Johnson's days numbered as British prime minister? If you had been reading the usually supportive British tabloids over the past few days, you would probably conclude that it's just a question of time, given the controversy over last year's Covid-rule-breaking Christmas party...
The Debate
Pressure on the Olympics: Will Peng Shuai case overshadow Beijing Winter Games?
02-12-2021
A video distributed by the International Olympic Committee is not enough to reassure the tennis world. The Women's Tennis Association is suspending all tournaments in China until it is sure that doubles star Peng Shuai is safe and sound...
The Debate
How far will it go? Mali summons French ambassador as row deepens
06-10-2021
Bamako has summoned the former colonial power's ambassador after Emmanuel Macron again blasted the junta for deflecting from what he sees as its own lack of governance...
The Debate
Coup in Guinea: What next after the overthrow of Alpha Condé?
06-09-2021
The optics play to old stereotypes about Africa: men in fatigues holding the deposed president who has outlasted his stay. In 2010, Alpha Condé became Guinea's first civilian president to win through the ballot box.
The Debate
Return of the Taliban: What next for Afghanistan?
08-07-2021
A question of not if but when? The Taliban are continuing to gain ground ahead of the final withdrawal of US-led forces from Afghanistan, so much so that former military commanders predict the fall of Kabul within months.

"It's Coming Home" is a pop song written for England's hosting of the Euros back in 1996. There is a petition up before parliament to make next Monday a bank holiday if England win the tournament. It must be tempting to get carried away, especially when there is political mileage to be gained.

After Bibi: What next for Israel?
14-06-2021

The Debate
Changing of the guard: Northern Ireland status quo upended by Brexit?
05-05-2021
Which way do the political winds blow in Northern Ireland? The centennial of the decision to remain in the United Kingdom has been overshadowed by the infighting within the Democratic Unionist Party of the now outgoing First Minister Arlene Foster, pushed out by her own rank and file.

Breaking the silence on incest: How France is facing up to the unspeakable
28-01-2021
France is reeling from claims and revelations of incest. It began with a book of Camille Kouchner, the sister of an alleged victim – her own twin brother – abused sexually throughout his teens by his stepfather, political scientist Olivier Duhamel. It has blown the lid off a massive social problem.

The Debate - Covid-19 vaccine race: Are the jabs becoming political?
27-01-2021

07-01-2021
Is America's legacy in doubt? The world's most powerful nation has been a stable democracy for most of the better part of two centuries. As the planet awakens to images of the first storming of the US Capitol since the British did it in 1812, there are those who will focus on security lapses...

The Debate - US election certification: Unprecedented bid to overturn presidential result
06-01-2021
Is it all just a bit of political theater by Trump loyalists or is it a coup attempt? Welcome to a special edition as we cover what is up to now always been a ceremonial formality. The U.S. Congress' certification of the presidential winner. Some Republicans vow to contest Joe Biden's victory.
The Debate
The Debate - All over soon? New Covid-19 strains raise uncertainty
05-01-2021
With vaccines comes the promise of light at the end of tunnel. That said, it is always safer to manage expectations. The UK returns to its strictest lockdown since the spring, Germany and France extend confinement measures. Will vaccines be enough?
The Debate
The Debate - Not fast enough: How to speed up rollout of Covid-19 vaccine?
04-01-2021
If 2020 was the year of the pandemic, may 2021 be the year we won the race to save lives. Every vulnerable person inoculated against the coronavirus is a small victory en route to the day when herd immunity will get the better of Covid-19. So why are the French so slow out of the starting blocks?

Is there an end for redhead’s discrimination?
14-03-2018
All over the world, people who are different from us are seen as ‘weirdo’s’. A red hair person is, from time immemorial, susceptible to be prejudiced or event more, bullied at school or in her workplace. And this discrimination does not only happen to random people, but also to famous one.
