Show Notes

This week's podcast features Europe Editor Patrick Smyth and Berlin Correspondent Derek Scally. The Brexit negotiations look painful from here. How do they look from Brussels? Can negotiations get back on track? Is the problem of the Irish border still high on the agenda? Plus, what are the E.U. institutions' attitudes to political unrest in Catalonia? And today Chancellor Merkel returns to a larger and more disjointed Bundestag than she has become used to. Some are beginning to question her longevity.
