Merkel's next move: Will Germany stick to its guns on austerity?

François Hollande steals the show at his first late-night EU summit but the ball remains firmly in Angela Merkel’s court. Her constituents remain torn between paying for pain they don’t (yet) feel and shouldering the blame for an eventual collapse of the euro.

Is Mali’s freshly-signed agreement to restore democracy in doubt? Malians express shock after the beating of their interim president by supporters of the junta that could have been stopped, say François Picard’s guests.

Debate with Francois Picard

I have to confess that I am not sure of the show, but am sure that Francois knows. Here is what happened: Francois asked a question and the panel member, a man, said he had checked with the WHO for the facts and something related to 98% female mutilation in some countries. I am not sure what Francois did, but I could find the remote and get the hell away in seconds. If I am willing to listen to female mutilation discussed, a painful subject even if you are not the victim, it will not be by some guy who called the WHO that morning on a hunch, it will by someone like Axelle Red, who has gone to Africa and stood up for women and actually knows what the hell she is talking about. Get her if you want that discussion and get rid of that guy that went nuts on Francois. Seriously, I have not watched that show again. If Francois strangled him, I will testify that it was justifiable.
