This week we're turning our attention (with Tom off to Liverpool for the Labour party's first conference in power) to Sri Lanka. Raisa Wickrematunge, deputy editor of Himal Southasian magazine, joins Rohan and Emily to discuss this month's election and how Anura Kumara Dissanayake (aka AKD) has re-aligned Sir Lanka's political compass. What has happened to the United National Party and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to allow this outsider to romp home? And what should global politics watchers make of his party, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, whose symbol is a hammer and sickle? For this, and more, hop on the Political Cycle as we take a trip to South Asia.

Last week, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump took to the stage for the first – and, increasingly likely, the only – Presidential debate. In it, Trump propounded a conspiracy theory about Haitian migrants eating the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio. What was going on there? And why does the Trump campaign want to keep talking about immigration in this campaign? Emily Tamkin gives the full debate low-down, while Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat look at the similarities across Europe and Asia.

On today's episode of The Political Cycle, with Emily Tamkin away and American politics on hold until last night's debate (more on that next week), we've decided to peddle over to France where Emmanuel Macron has named Michel Barnier as his new Prime Minister. Barnier is well known to British audiences as the EU's chief negotiator on Brexit, but what does his appointment as PM mean for the political instability in France? To discuss this, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton are joined from Washington DC by Tara Varma, Visiting Fellow at The Brookings Institution.

This week, for the first time since the Second World War, elections in Germany provided significant victories for the far-right. In Thuringia, candidate Björn Höcke of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) hailed an "historic victory". But what does this mean for German and European politics? And what broader trends might we look at in terms of increasing far-right success at the ballot box? To discuss this – and with Tom Hamilton on holiday – the Cyclists are joined from Berlin by Rachel Rizzo, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

In the weeks since the announcement that Joe Biden would no longer be the Democratic candidate in the 2024 Presidential election, the narrative has shifted from one of senile intransigence to graceful benevolence. As Biden appeared – tearful – on-stage at the DNC, Emily Tamkin asks whether the reframing of this decision to hand the baton to Kamala Harris could be a masterstroke? And could it also, she asks Rohan Venkat, offer Prime Minister Narendra Modi a prototype for how to secure your legacy when the time comes?

Recent polling shows that the Democrat's shiny new candidate – Kamala Harris – is ahead in almost all the swing states. Meanwhile, the British far-right, who seemed so potent last week, have bee repelled by anti-fascist campaigners and the criminal justice system. Is the tide beginning to turn in favour of reasoned debate? Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton report back, while Rohan Venkat, back from vacation, picks up on the turbulence in Bangladesh.

They call it 'midsummer madness', the fit of rash and often violent behaviour that seems to strike in the long, hot days. In the UK, right-wing thuggery has descended on a number of cities following the tragic murder of three young girls. What is motivating these riots? And who is stoking the flames of this racially-motivated disorder? Tom Hamilton reports back from a broiling, roiling London. Meanwhile, on the campaign trail in the US, Emily Tamkin talks us through Kamala Harris's VP pick: Tim Walz. Who is he? And what will he bring to the Harris campaign?

After months of growing pressure, Joe Biden has finally ditched his bid for a second term in the Oval Office, paving the way for his VP, Kamala Harris, to lead the Democratic ticket. But who really is Harris, the former California senator? What challenges will she face in the campaign crucible? And what does Team Trump make of all this toing and froing? Emily Tamkin reports on an historic week in American politics, while Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat provide the perspective from the rest of the world.

When secret service agents ushered Donald Trump offstage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, there was much confusion as to what had actually happened. The events, as they came to light over the next few hours, reshaped the narrative of the election, with Trump surviving a very real assassination attempt. Reshaped, sure, but has it changed the course of the election? Emily Tamkin reports on the fallout, as the RNC gathers in Milwaukee and Trump picks marine/lawyer/venture capitalist/author/politician JD Vance as his Vice-President pick. Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat contribute thoughts on the ways that political violence has changed the course of democratic moments in both the UK and India.
