Inside Europe

An exclusive DW interview with Albanian PM Edi Rama, a crackdown on Turkey's opposition ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, and a spat about who gets to lead the Czech delegation. The US celebrates 250 years of independence: two journalists detained at an event in Brussels and Glyn Morgan on the "Rise and Fall of American Europe". Plus: Ireland takes over the rotating Council presidency.

Keir Starmer resigns, 10 years of Brexit, postcards from a heatwave. Plus: Spanish corruption, DW's Freedom of Speech Award, Czech media strike and a banned Russian ballet.

The removal of German citizenship and its history, the UK's Palestine Action ban, and an exclusive interview with the EU's Culture Commissioner. Then: a dark week for Norwegian royalty, Albania's flamingo protests, a check-in with post-election Hungary, Italy's depopulation issue, and Vienna's social housing. ++ Archive credits: Deulig Woche 370, Bundesarchiv, 79343.

Switzerland's knife-edge referendum, Kosovo's former president on the country's post-election malaise, and questions over Irish exports to Russia. Then: a night and dream special featuring a Berlin-based sleep doctor, Amsterdam’s night mayor, DW's sleep-deprived Kyiv correspondent, and a whole load of Norwegians drunk on the midnight sun. ++ https://tinyurl.com/4jswz8zs ++?maca=en-podcast_inside-europe-949-xml-mrss
