Austria turns right, Venice bids for freedom, and France stamps on sex pests

The Local's journalists look at the stories Europe needs to know about.


This week: Austrian wunderkind Sebastian Kurz looks set to join forces with an ex-Nazi party – so how right-wing is he? Is northern Italy really following Catalonia's lead? And after the Harvey Weinstein sex allegations, how France is planning to deal with men who assault women.


Presenters: James Savage and Emma Löfgren.


With: Paul O'Mahony, Jessica Phelan and Evie Burrows-Taylor.
