British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party have won the biggest Tory majority since the 1980s after voters handed him a resounding victory in the UK's general election on December 12. We bring you a special edition of the FRANCE 24 Debate, live from London.

From the Shetland Isles in the north to the Scilly Isles in the southwest, the UK is voting in what has been described as the most important general election since the Second World War. We bring you a special edition of the FRANCE 24 Debate, live from London.

Emmanuel Macron may have outlasted the Yellow Vest movement. Now he has got the unions against him. The French government's formal rollout of its pension reform plan has prompted a rolling over of strikes - already in their seventh day - and triggering calls for massive demonstrations next Tuesday. Has Macron, who stormed to power in 2017 by bringing together reformers from the left and the right, finally chosen his camp?

Too much or too little? Democrats in the US House of Representatives are drafting two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. Less is more, they say, in the hopes of a swift vote that would send charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress to a trial and a vote by the Republican-controlled Senate before the first presidential primaries in January.

The European Union is supporting the return of refugees and migrants to a war zone. FRANCE 24 went to Libya last month, where those hoping to reach Europe by sea now find themselves on the front line of a civil war... and where those desperate enough to try their luck on the Mediterranean are getting sent back.

This time, will Emmanuel Macron meet his match? Macron, who has managed to pass public rail reform and survive the Yellow Vest movement is now facing what could be the start of a long movement against pension reform that brings together hospital workers, teachers, students and even the staff at the Eiffel Tower.

While the president of the United States attends a summit that's got everyone pondering the future of the NATO alliance, back in Washington, the next phase of the impeachment inquiry has some wondering about the future of Western democracy.

As alliance members sit down for an anniversary summit in London, tensions are out in the open over US demands that fellow members pay more, over Donald Trump's nod to Turkey to cross into Syria to take on Kurdish militias, and over the same Turks threatening to veto support for Russia-wary Baltic states and Poland if they do not back Recep Tayyip Erdogan's offensive.

Two tributes, one in Paris and the other in London. The one in the French capital was for the 13 soldiers killed on patrol in Mali when their helicopters collided. A reminder that counter-terror and preventing jihadists from preying on weak states is part of an asymmetrical battle that crosses continents. Depending on your vantage point, it can be near or far. Like for those worshippers at a Catholic Church in Burkina Faso gunned down on Sunday morning.

Is it a matter of principle that highlights values essential to the United States and the foundations of its legitimacy as a superpower? Or did Donald Trump sign a bill backing Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement as part of an eventual grand bargain over trade with China?
