Lyrics

A street brawl in Lyon has sparked a bitter public row between Paris and Rome and it unmasks how lines of sovereign authority are starting to vanish.

More than 240 people jailed based partly on rap lyrics. Sixty senior legal figures now demand reform.

As Switzerland walks away from an American missile contract and the Netherlands floats hacking fighter jets, Europe's defence reboot is now an operational certainty.

Years of training. Seconds of video. Millions of views.

As rivals invest in their global reach Britain is letting its primary cultural bridge crumble under a mountain of debt that the government refuses to forgive.
