🎈On the night of June 23rd, 2016, Brexit marked the first-ever breakup in European Union history. After more than 40 years together in an emotional and dramatic turn, the UK dumped 27 member states all at once. Ouch. 🎤Even Michel Barnier, former Brexit negotiator and now the French Prime Minister, has likened it to a painful breakup. But this wasn’t just about a fractured relationship—it set off a cascade of complex geopolitical negotiations, reshaping international dynamics and affecting lives on both sides of the Channel. 🎧 Tune in as we explore with you the tensions, the deals, and the lasting impact of that historic night.Our guests (in order of appearances): Maxime Calligaro -  Married to an English woman, Maxime is a Renew Policy adviser at the EU Parliament by day and a co-screenwriter of the TV show Parliament, depicting the life of an EU parliamentary assistant during Brexit, by night. After rarely agreeing with the UK on the job, he became pro-Brexit even if of course he could not vote. Chloé Linklater was a fresh-faced 18-year-old at the time of the vote and was casting her first ever ballot. She was a staunch remain voter and she and her friends were shocked and upset when they discovered their country had voted to leave the European Union instead.Rob Murray - Rob worked as a polling clerk the night of the referendum and was right in the centre of the action as he ensured all was well at his local ballot station. He was also a supporter of remaining in the EU and campaigned for some time after the Leave vote, advocating for rejoining the EU or calling for a second referendum.Brian Reynolds is a union representative from Scotland who campaigned for LEXIT, the exit of the Left from the EU. Dubbing the union a ‘neoliberal capitalist’ institution, he wanted to leave to protect UK public services, and to promote all workers’ rights in the country. Catherine Bennett is a Franco-British journalist. For her, Brexit meant more than just extra steps when travelling between the two countries, she also had to apply for French nationality in order to stay and work in Paris. Jonathan Smith is a Brexit-voting farmer from West Oxfordshire. For him, voting Brexit was about standing against the EU’s policies on agriculture which he felt were unfairly distributed across member states and had a negative impact on agriculture in the UK.Pr. Anand Menon - Teaching European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King's College London, he is also the director of the think tank ‘UK in a Changing Europe’ which provides information about UK-EU relations. Always invited as a third guest, he acted as a referee in the media during Brexit and still does. Nicolas Galudec was a member of the European Commission’s task force negotiating Brexit under Michel Barnier. He was specially mandated to ensure the respect of EVERY 27 member states’ interests within the process.  Ambassador Christopher Prentice - An EU believer forever! Former UK Ambassador to Italy from 2011 to 2016, Christopher foreshadowed what was about to unfold and has thrived to exorcise his Brexit ghosts ever since. 🎙️ This episode was written, recorded, edited and produced by Candice Fleurance, Gabrielle Nadler and Lorna Petty, under the supervision of Lorraine Besse. 💡 #upatnight is #ScPodcast based on an original idea by Alice Antheaume 🎵 Music : @theo.boulenger🎨 Illustration : @marinecoutroutsiosHosted on Ausha.

On June 9, 2024, the European Parliament saw a significant shift to the far right. This unprecedented gain was felt across the continent, but in France, the situation intensified. After the National Rally won more than 30% of the vote, President Macron made a decision that would significantly impact French political life—he dissolved the National Assembly. An unprecedented opportunity for the “Rassemblement National” to govern France, and a symbol of its entry into the political mainstream. In this episode, a diverse group of stakeholders from across the political spectrum come together to discuss their roles at a pivotal moment in French politics, when the announcement of snap elections sent shockwaves through the country.Tune in as we look back on the night that shook France and Europe, as the far right teetered on the brink of power.Our Guests : Gilles Ivaldi, researcher specialized in far right parties at SciencesPoAdam Soussana, environmental activist Parliamentary assistant for the Renaissance presidential party Directed, written and produced by Philippine Masson, Anne Sandager and Selma Sisbane.

What would you do if you were witnessing one of the worst earthquakes of the century? Or worse, if you got the news that your family was stuck in it while you were a nine-hour flight away with no means of contacting them? This episode starts at 4:17am in Turkiye on the 6th of February, when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the southern part of the country.

In the weeks that followed, Elias el haber, a researcher with the French Association of Earthquake Engineering, visited the worst-hit sites and shares his findings with us in this podcast. Could 55,000 people who died, have a chance at being saved? We explain. Directed, written and produced by Nick Heubeck, Paridhi Bhanot and Ruzgar Mehmet Akgun.

On April 21, 2002, an earthquake shook France. The far right made it to the second round of the presidential election. It was a first in the Fifth Republic's history and the surprise was total. It triggered an unprecedented mobilization.

Almost two years ago Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which destroyed tens of cities and killed thousands of civilians. But the war didn’t start on February 24th 2022 — it started 9 years ago. In November 2013, a popular uprising known as the Euromaidan revolution erupted after Ukraine’s government traded an EU agreement for closer ties with Russia. Two pivotal bloody nights in February 2014 changed Ukraine's future. One night protesters clashed with security forces in the streets in hopes to change course by force. The second night, European negotiators mediated peace talks in hopes to change course by peace. The outcome was different to what anyone could have imagined. Our guests:Jan Tombinski, then EU ambassador to Ukraine; Serhiy Kibnovskyi, a retired veteran who defended the Maidan square against security forces; Olexiy Haran, one of the members of the Council of Maidan, who represented the protestors; Olga Salo, a Euromaidan activist who lost a friend on one of the two pivotal bloody nights. This episode was produced by Margaux Farran, Agatha Gorski, Katarzyna Skiba and Bilge Kotan, under the supervision of Lorraine Besse.Photo credits : Viacheslav  RatynskyiHosted on Ausha.
