Meloni, Salvini and Italy's future, in and out of the EU

ECFR Director Mark Leonard discusses his new book "Age of Unpeace" and why having an open, globalized, "one-world" of connectivity is actually the source of problems today and how issues that bring us together (e.g. internet, migration, economy, health, climate) are being weaponized and providing new platforms for countries to hurt each other. The three empires of connectivity (U.S., China, EU) will define the new global order which in turn will impact the "fourth world". He examines the U.S.-China relationship and how they are becoming 'mimetic doubles' of each other and converging, with the threat of the West becoming more like Beijing. He gives his thoughts on U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and reveals his "nightmare scenario" in the age of unpeace.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss UK Prime Minister Theresa May's announcement that if her deal or a no-deal Brexit is rejected by MPs in the House of Commons, then her government will propose delaying the UK’s exit from the European Union.

In a similar retreat, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced that his party will either table or support an amendment backing a second Brexit referendum this week.

Corbyn said that Labour would support a second referendum in order to avoid a “damaging Tory Brexit”.  Corbyn went on to accuse Theresa May of “recklessly running down the clock” in an attempt to force MPs to choose between her “botched deal” or a “disastrous no deal” scenario.
