The situation in North Korea

We look at what the UK’s European neighbours think about its upcoming election (if they are thinking about it at all). We also take stock of a brace of new emissions taxes and charges in Denmark and Germany and ask what Mark Rutte’s selection to be head of Nato means for the bloc.

UK election: the perspective from abroad

As EU accession talks for Ukraine and Moldova kick off in Luxembourg, we speak to Moldova’s secretary of state for European integration. We also take a closer look at the protests against tax rises in Kenya. Plus: an interview with Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko about his new book ‘I Will Show You How It Was: The Story of Wartime Kyiv’.

Ukraine and Moldova: EU accession talks commence

With the Kremlin blaming the US for a Ukrainian attack on Crimea which used US-supplied missiles, we consider the risk of escalation. We also ask if Ukraine and Moldova can hope for EU membership on the eve of accession talks. Plus: crows versus humans in Busan.
