Show Notes
Europe Editor Patrick Smyth looks ahead to the EU summit in Sibiru, Romania. It was billed as a Brexit-Free opportunity to plan for Europe's future, but the failure of the UK to leave on time means the meeting still takes place in Brexit's shadow.

Plus, David McNeill in Tokyo on the significance of the ascension of a new Emperor to Japan's Chrysanthemum Throne.
