The ripples set off by Donald Trump’s election across the Atlantic are feeding into Europe’s election cycle. We talk to Lara Marlowe in Paris and Derek Scally in Berlin about what this means for France’s presidential election next year and the rerun of Austria’s presidential election in December. In both cases, candidates of the far-right are expected to benefit from the tide of anti-politics sweeping the world.
And we talk to Hugh Linehan, Irish Times Culture Editor, about the seemingly irresistible rise of the far-right Breitbart news site and its former boss Steven Bannon, who has been appointed as Trump's chief adviser. Hugh explains the genesis of sites like Breitbart and the emergence of Bannon as the most effective practitioner of "alt-right" "journalism".
