We discuss George Soros' new open letter to Europe, which calls for greater centralisation of powers at the EU level to push back against populism; how Martin Selmayr became one of the most powerful people in the EU, and the world, through 'coup like actions' and what that means for the EU; and news that a man has received a sentence of only 18 months after stabbing a taxi driver 6 times in the chest - we explain the story and what it tells us about sentencing and bail in this country.
