Three years after Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of a sovereign state, what has he gained? A path to normalisation with the United States and negotiations on Ukraine—without the Ukrainians. Without the Europeans, either. Instead, Donald Trump is sending his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to Saudi Arabia, along with fellow New York real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, who has swiftly pivoted into a Middle East envoy role. Meanwhile, Brussels is a long way from Riyadh. So why is retired General Keith Kellogg—touted as Trump’s steady hand on Ukraine—meeting with EU leaders instead of leading the negotiations? We’ll examine what lies at the heart of this potential deal with Putin. We’ll also assess how far European powers progressed at Monday’s emergency summit in Paris, hastily convened after JD Vance delivered a stark warning to allies at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend. How much leverage do Europe and the Ukrainians have when the continent’s main security guarantor seems more inclined to talk to Moscow?…

Actress and author Julianne Moore says it was a « great shock » to hear that her children’s book was among those removed from American public schools, after an executive order from president Trump saw a long list of titles confiscated for review. Olivia Salazar-Winspear explains what the current US administration sees as cause for concern in children’s literature. We take a look at a new exhibition recreating the « Degenerate Art » scene of the 1930s, when the Nazi party sought to demonize avant-garde painters like Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso, as the Picasso museum in Paris presents these major works of modern art in a contemporary context. And we hear from debut filmmaker and actress Ariane Labed, as she explores the complex dynamic between two sisters who are a little too close for comfort in her gothic-tinged feature « September says ».…

This week, France in Focus returns to the rural Tarn et Garonne department in the southwestern Occitania region, where unrest in the French agricultural sector first took root in early 2024. For months, protesters, tractors and hay bales blocked motorways leading to the capital, calling out low food prices, unfair foreign competition and government red tape. Although the protest movement has since fizzled out, the frustration remains palpable in the French countryside. FRANCE 24's Jon Walsh and Jennifer Ben Brahim met local farmers who are still fighting to keep their family businesses alive.…
