    Leadership crisis in France and Germany / Devastating cyclone in the French territory of Mayotte

    On Friday’s Global Focus, we’re looking at the latest developments in the European Union.

    From the collapse of the French government earlier this month to the dismantling of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition over a no-confidence vote, the two largest EU economies are facing an unprecedented leadership crisis, plunging the 27-member bloc into rising socio-economic uncertainty.
    French President Emmanuel Macron is currently struggling on with a seemingly weak administration and without any budget for 2025, forcing lawmakers to roll over this year’s financial blueprint instead.
    Meanwhile in Germany, early snap elections in February could significantly weaken the pro-EU camp, as the rising far-right AfD campaigns to reassess the country’s EU membership.
    Are the European Union’s institutions strong enough to withstand this growing uncertainty? We’ll find out.
    After 9:50, we’re talking about the devastating cyclone which ripped through the Comoros archipelago of Mayotte, France’s most impoverished territory.

    GLOBAL FOCUS - Democrat vs Republican debate on Radio 3

    Presenters:Jenny Lam and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Global Focus, we talked about US politics, ahead of the Presidential elections in November.
    Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump took to the stage for their first ever TV debate on Tuesday, two months after President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race to endorse Vice-President Harris.
    Despite a collected beginning, the debate quickly turned into a war of words as the two rivals laid out their deep divisions in matters ranging from gun control, abortion rights, healthcare, immigration and tax. Both candidates claimed the mantle of change, hoping to gain the hearts and minds of American voters who will be called to the ballot boxes in less than two months.
    We were joined by James Lockett, Chair of Democrats Abroad (Hong Kong) and Alan Seigrist, Head of Republicans Overseas (Hong Kong) who debated live from our studio here in Hong Kong.
