This Sunday, Moldova's electorate faces a crucial decision with a presidential election and a referendum on EU membership. I travelled to Chișinău, Moldova's capital city, to explore the stakes and challenges.

There's certainly an element of cognitive dissonance here. Pros and cons to both approaches (following ritual of democratic transition vs. not normalising Trump) but no doubt these optics make their warnings about him appear like hollow campaign rhetoric.

Germany, France, Belgium and the EU should release the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets and give it to Ukraine, now. Don't wait.

The most unseemly thing about elections you lose is that everyone has theories about what you could/should have done.
The Harris campaign wasn't perfect but it, and she, did a lot of things well--debate; convention and more.
Reality is, they were facing tremendous headwinds--28% right track number; two-thirds negative on economy; @POTUS approval, just 40 percent.
No incumbent party has ever overcome such numbers.
And give Trump's team credit. They set out from the start to define her as the status quo by tying her to an unpopular president on economy/border issues, and they succeeded.

The US election can put to bed the idea that a candidate's pick for VP has any bearing at all on a presidential race. Walz was one of the best VP nominees I've ever seen in terms of campaigning. Vance was, hands down, the worst. Trump won anyway. #USElection2024 #Election2024

A grim moment for #Kyiv. A second Trump presidency means the probable end of US military assistance to Ukraine. The country's troops are already outgunned on the battlefield, with Russia advancing at the fastest rate since 2022. East - most of Donetsk oblast - may be lost in 2025

I spoke with Stuart Moyes on his recent trip to Chisinau. He does an excellent job capturing the stakes of the coming election and speaking to voters, politicians and activists about the events leading up to it.

Today is the presidential election in #Mozambique. With current president Filipe Nyusi unable to run again, the Mozambican electorate has the chance to choose a new leader.

Or does it?

Last week, I was in Chișinău, Moldova, producing work on the upcoming presidential election and EU referendum.

Stay tuned for my reporting on these pivotal votes in a nation caught in a tug-of-war between the European Union and Russia.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Bibi speech described a reality that doesn't exist. Lying about cutting off access to food. Lying about civilian casualties. Avoiding responsibility for 10/7 security failure and diplomatic failure to bring hostages home. Seeking applause for unachievable military objectives.

[Stuart Moyes @stuart_moyes]

It should be said that Kamala Harris (99% likely to be the Democrat nominee) is far more of a threat to Trump than Michael Dukakis was to Bush. But again, Vance has little influence in this matter.

[Stuart Moyes @stuart_moyes]

The widespread reporting of buyer's remorse is very revealing, and undoubtedly accurate. But we should remain sceptical of the importance of the VP candidate in winning an election. If George Bush was able to win convincingly in 1988 with Dan Quayle, Trump can win despite Vance.

[Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum]

"The Republican choice of J. D. Vance looks less like a masterstroke and more like the impulse purchase of a luxury good—an expensive handbag bought on a credit card the day before its owner gets fired. Trump should have kept the receipt." —@helenlewis

The far right gaining ground across Europe has been named as one of the reasons for #France's current parl. deadlock. I spoke to academic @NathalieBrack, specialist in EU politics and the far right, about this as part of #EuropeWhereNext. Full doc here>https://t.co/FqukNJXr8W

[Stuart Moyes @stuart_moyes]

An excellent documentary by @jsmithmaillet on the EU elections this year, focusing on the surge of support for the far right in France. Strongly recommended viewing!

[Jamie Smith-Maillet @jsmithmaillet]

#France has already had its fair share of sporting activity recently, not least on the political front. A good time to look back and take stock-to do just that, pleased to announce the release of my 20-minute video doc "Europe: Where Next?" available here: https://t.co/FqukNJXYYu

[Stuart Moyes @stuart_moyes]

Free of the baggage of Biden's age factor, Democrats are wasting no time in targeting Trump's age and signs of mental decline. The speed and abruptness with which the race has changed is quite striking.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

"We increasingly hear top Biden aides, including ones who initially urged him to fight on after his disastrous debate on June 27 — 21 days ago — are saying it's now when, not if, Biden announces he's not running."

[Leslie Vinjamuri @londonvinjamuri]

Be wary of any attempt to draw a straight line between the horrible attack on Donald Trump and the U.S. Presidential election result. U.S. politics today is as divided as it is unpredictable as it is dynamic. Leaders and voters are agents of change. What they do now matters.

As Labour takes Downing Street, and the majority of Edinburgh's constituencies, what must the Conservatives do now?

I spoke with some of Edinburgh's @ScotTories candidates in the aftermath for their view on what the party does next. @EdinReporter
