This week our podcast takes us to Berlin, where a spying deal between Denmark and the US is shaking German politics ahead of elections in September. To find out more we spoke with Oliver Noyan and Niko Krumayer from EURACTIV Germany.

Back in Brussels we are talking about what the EU ban on airlines entering Belarusian airspace means in practice, from pilot safety concerns, to the isolated Belarusians and unintended environmental and economic impacts. To hear more on this story, I spoke with Sean Golding Carrol, EURACTIV's transport editor.
