Intro

The conservative Christian Democratic Union of Germany has won the majority in the country’s elections. What does this mean for the nation’s future? And how significant is the AfD’s surge in popularity? Also on the programme: as the war in Ukraine reaches the three-year mark, we look at how the EU is continuing to pressure Russia with fresh sanctions. Then: we examine the reasons behind an uptick in post-Brexit Irish citizenship applications from Britain. Plus: a new app in the US allows you to hire personalised bodyguards at the touch of a button.
