Barbara Slavin's 'kabuki diplomacy' verdict fronts FRANCE 24's Monday

The Stimson Center fellow joined François Picard to unpick Washington's mixed signals toward Tehran, as Tigray filled much of the rest of the day.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Trump ‘flips & flops’ with Iran between making a deal and threats to attack in ‘devastating fashion’Trump ‘flips & flops’ with Iran between making a deal and threats to attack in ‘devastating fashion’

"Trump 'flips & flops' with Iran between making a deal and threats to attack in 'devastating fashion'" is an interview, not a bulletin. On FRANCE 24 English, François Picard sits down with Barbara Slavin of the Stimson Center, a longtime Iran watcher, and she calls the Qatar-mediated contacts between Washington and Tehran "kabuki diplomacy": both sides half engage while guarding against looking soft. Barely a day old, it is the channel's busiest video.

The week brought fifteen uploads, and Monday alone could pass for a world tour. Ethiopia is the second thread. The evening Africa edition reports the army's claim to have taken a key Tigray town, alongside two mass shootings in South Africa, and a separate report covers a Tigray TV station hit by a drone. Benedicte Paviot followed the five young Londoners arrested near a UK airbase used by US forces. A dead-heat Israeli poll, a month before the October 27 vote, and Ukrainian arms makers chafing at export rules round out the day.

The channel as a whole is running well above its usual daily pace. Among the larger news broadcasters, Associated Press is the busy one, while Guardian News is having a slower stretch.
