Katya Adler and James Landale drop by to explain how America is trying to rewrite the global order… and get Europe to sign on and Joe Pike explains why spending more on defence is never politically straightforward.
Plus, Joe and Adam discuss the government’s decision to scrap it’s plans to postpone elections for 30 councils after recieving “legal advice”. They also review the government’s latest proposals to crack down on online safety for children and Starmer’s response to claims that a Labour Think Tank paid a private investigator to look into journalists.

Targeted curfews across France contributed to a quiet night after a weekend of riots and looting across the country, the Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has said.
Curfews were introduced across parts of central Paris, including Place de la République, where protesters had gathered over the weekend, and the Les Halles shopping area.
Earlier Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez admitted police had “lost control” in some cities.
Protests first began last month with students demanding better school conditions escalated to take in a broader range of concerns with numbers at demonstrations bolstered by trade unions and various protest groups.

A £3.6bn proposal to stop sewage being discharged into Windermere, England’s largest lake, has been unveiled.
The plans, which are backed by the local water company United Utilities and clean water campaigners, would see a tunnel up to 12 miles (19km) long built to transport sewage away from the lake.
At the moment both raw sewage and treated effluent are discharged into Windermere and campaigners say that is why parts of the lake have been turning green each summer, so-called algal blooming.
It is now up to the government to decide if the plan can be further developed, and if the £3.6bn price-tag is acceptable.

Israel’s election is taking place next Tuesday, to elect a new government, in the first election since the 7 October Hamas attacks three years ago.
More than half a million first-time voters are among those due to cast their ballots.
The vote is seen by many voters as an existential decision on the country’s future identity and security.
Surveys suggest that around three quarters of new voters see themselves as “right or centre right” – and that Israel’s far-right parties are among those benefitting.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson has been speaking with Gen Z voters in Israel.

Police have charged a man over the alleged vehicle attack on Australian MP Helen Haines, who is in critical but stable condition and has reportedly lost a leg.
Brendan Nugent, 43, has been charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury; intentionally causing serious injury; and causing harm to a Commonwealth public official.
Police allege the incident, which occurred outside Haines’s electoral office in Wangaratta, was targeted.
A barber who was at the scene also recounts how bystanders responded “immediately” and helped disarm the alleged attacker.
