Now that America has stepped back, Europe is at last stepping up. We examine the bloc’s tactics (if not yet a strategy) and how steady its support is likely to be. With the coming public listings of SpaceX and Anthropic, we ask whether stockmarkets can handle a string of “giga-IPOs”. And our World Cup series looks at Iran’s side.


Guests and host:

  • Tom Nuttall, chief Germany correspondent
  • Joshua Roberts, capital markets correspondent
  • Jon Fasman, senior culture correspondent
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”

Topics covered: 

  • Europe, security, Ukraine war
  • IPOs, investment, stockmarkets, SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI
