Episode Von der Leyen won't run for a third term. Or will she?
Ursula von der Leyen is only a year and a half into her second term, but Brussels is already whispering about a third. Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart examine what is fueling the speculation — from her sweeping overhaul of the European Commission to concerns that more power is being concentrated at the top.
Then, they explain why the U.S.-Iran peace deal has brought down oil and gas prices, but has not ended Europe’s energy worries.
And they take a first look at W, a new “made in Europe” social media platform hoping to challenge X with verified users, European data hosting and no bots.
