In this week's podcast Denis talks to Suzanne Lynch and Mark Hennessy in London about the now imminent election of Jean Claude Juncker and its consequences for the EU and David Cameron. He is also joined in studio by Irish Times columnist Paul Gillespie.

He then discusses Obama's response to the latest from Iraq with Simon Carswell in Washington before finishing in Rio de Janerio with Tom Hennigan to hear about a World Cup which has utterly defied the dire predictions of its critics.

Worldview is a foreign affairs podcast presented by the deputy editor of the Irish Times Denis Staunton and produced by Sinead O’Shea.
