    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.

    75 years of China-Russia ties / Lebanon developments: on the verge of an all out war?

    Presenters:Brian Wong and Philip Wong

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about China-Russia relations, as the two countries mark 75 years of bilateral ties.

    In a congratulatory message sent to his counterpart Vladimir Putin, President Xi Jinping said that China stood ready to deepen "practical cooperation" with Russia, which was among the first countries to recognise the PRC.
    The bolstering of ties between the two neighbours comes amidst rising geopolitical tensions, with China expected to play a more prominent role in ceasefire talks surrounding the war in Ukraine.
    The two leaders are expected to meet later this month at the BRICS Summit in the southwestern Russian city of Kazan.
    In the second part of the programme, we talk about the latest developments in the Middle East, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's launch of over 100 missiles at Israel.

    9:05am-9:30am: Josef Gregory Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations, East China Normal University, Shanghai
