Who was the Russian spy working under Oppenheimer to build the atomic bomb? Why was it so dangerous to be a communist in Nazi Germany? And how did a young science prodigy become one of the most notorious spies in history?
Klaus Fuchs was born into a left-wing family at the beginning of the 20th century. Vehemently opposed to the fascist politics of his German homeland during the 1930s, Fuchs flees Hitler's repressive state and finds himself caught up in the horrors of World War Two. When a group of ambitious communists reach out to save him, his life is changed forever. This is the story of the communist spy who infiltrated the Manhattan Project.
Listen as Gordon and David begin to tell the fascinating tale of Klaus Fuchs, the atomic spy.

“From this place and from this day forth commences a new era in the world’s history, and you can all say you were present at its birth!”
By September 1792, the Prussians, under the leadership of the formidable Duke of Brunswick, were closing in on revolutionary Paris. There, the streets roiled with the clanging of church bells, thousands of volunteers, patriotic songs and slogans, and of course; the dead bodies of all those killed during the September Massacres. It was against this feverish backdrop that on the 20th, the new National Convention - the most democratic of the assemblies yet, with unlimited powers to remake the nation - met at the famous Riding School. And though it was riven by internal rivalries under the contentious three headed triumvirate of Danton, Marat and Robespierre, remake the nation it did. Voting to abolish the monarchy once and for all, the Convention declared the institution of a new world and a new beginning for France, with all state documents from that day forth bearing the immortal words, ‘Year One’. But, with their Prussian enemies baying at the gates, would revolutionary France survive to see more than one year? A great military reckoning was approaching, which would decide the fate of the new Republic and perhaps, universal liberty. As the armies of France and Prussia met for what would prove to be one of the most ideologically significant battles of all time, political tensions were mounting in Paris…
Join Dominic and Tom for this crucial, tremulous episode of the French Revolution. With Prussia closing in, bodies littering the streets, and the revolutionary leaders hungry for each other's blood, would the Revolution survive?

Une page se tourne au Canada, celle des deux mandats de Justin Trudeau à la tête du pays. Celui qui s’était fait connaître comme le fils de Pierre Elliott Trudeau, lui aussi premier ministre (de 1968 à 1979 et de 1980 à 1984), avait finalement réussi à se tailler un prénom et à convaincre ses compatriotes, au point de devenir une icône, en 2015. Cette « Trudeaumania » semble bien lointaine. Depuis plusieurs mois, en effet, le chef du gouvernement essuie de vives critiques au sein de son parti et sa popularité dans l’opinion a chuté de manière spectaculaire.
En réponse, Justin Trudeau a décidé de démissionner à compter de dimanche 9 mars, date à laquelle un vote interne à son parti désignera son successeur. La passation des pouvoirs survient dans un contexte géopolitique tendu : lundi 3 mars, le président des Etats-Unis, Donald Trump, a annoncé l’entrée en vigueur de tarifs douaniers de 25 % sur l’ensemble des produits venant du Canada et du Mexique, ouvrant la voie à une guerre commerciale avec ces deux pays.
Alors, pourquoi Justin Trudeau cède-t-il sa place à un moment si critique pour son pays ? Que lui est-il reproché exactement ? Et quel bilan peut-on dresser de sa carrière politique et de ses deux mandats en tant que premier ministre ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L’Heure du Monde », Alexandre Lepoutre, correspondant du Monde au Canada, retrace son parcours.
Un épisode de Cyrielle Bedu, réalisé par Thomas Zeng. Présentation et suivi éditorial : Claire Leys. Dans cet épisode : extrait de l’intervention de Justin Trudeau, le 6 janvier 2025 ; du clip de Jagmeet Singh, publié le 4 septembre 2024 ; de l’annonce de la démission de Chrystia Freeland sur Radio-Canada Info, le 16 décembre 2024 ; d’une archive de Justin Trudeau, en 1995, sur CT News ; du discours de Justin Trudeau aux funérailles de Pierre Elliott Trudeau, le 30 septembre 2000 ; du combat de boxe entre Justin Trudeau et Patrick Brazeau, le 31 mars 2012 ; du discours victorieux de Justin Trudeau aux élections législatives, le 20 octobre 2015.
Cet épisode a été publié le 7 mars 2025.

In the summer and Autumn of 1792 - with the Prussians bearing down on Paris, the streets thronged with the stirring swell of the Marseillaise, but also the rotting bodies of those brutally killed during the September Massacres - the French Revolution bore a new symbol of optimism and hope: Liberty. Embodied by a female figure, later known as Marianne, and famously enshrined in Eugène Delacroix’s iconic painting, she was an important reminder that the revolution was about more than just violence, but also the dream of a brighter future, in which all the people of France would have a steak. Marianne was the new Republic personified, and manifested all those virtues most desired by the new order; freedom, equality and reason. But, did this new symbol have any resonance for the actual women of the revolution? Certainly, they had played a major role in bringing the King and Queen back to Paris from Versailles in 1789, helping patriots who stormed Tuileries in 1792, and were keen spectators to the febrile politics of the revolution. For this, women were enshrined as ‘mothers of the nation’, a vital mass of humanity thought to be inspired by an animating emotional power. And yet, unlike their male counterparts, few women save Marie Antoinette, at whom sexualised misogyny was constantly hurled, have stood the test of time. So who were the women at the very heart of the French Revolution? And what did they do to change the course of history?
Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the evolving ideology of the French Revolution - one of the most decisive moments of world history - and some of the women at the centre of it all from the very start.

Dans cet épisode de TED en français, Diana Filippova partage avec Michel Levy Provençal son regard aigu et profondément humain sur les grandes transformations à l'œuvre dans notre société. À la croisée de ses identités française, russe et européenne, Diana puise dans son histoire personnelle et son parcours professionnel éclectique—de Sciences Po à Microsoft, en passant par ses engagements politiques et littéraires—pour décrypter les défis complexes qui nous attendent.
En s'appuyant sur les prévisions de Keynes, elle éclaire la réalité de l'emploi à l'ère de l'automatisation et de l'intelligence artificielle. Elle alerte sur les dangers d'un modèle sociétal centré uniquement sur le travail et le plein emploi. Pour elle, il est essentiel d'opérer un changement radical de perspective socio-politique, en repensant collectivement notre relation au travail, à l'éducation et au sens même de la prospérité.
Autre point central de cet entretien : le technopouvoir exercé par les géants numériques. À partir de son essai paru en 2019, elle décrit en détail comment les plateformes technologiques redéfinissent les enjeux politiques et sociaux, mettant en garde contre l'emprise croissante du secteur privé sur la gouvernance mondiale. Dans ce contexte, elle plaide pour une intégration obligatoire des questions technologiques dans le débat politique au plus haut niveau.
Enfin, face à l'évolution géopolitique actuelle et au conflit russo-ukrainien, Diana apporte une réflexion intime sur l'identité multiple des personnes issues du métissage culturel et sur la fragilité démocratique en Europe. Forte de sa propre expérience d'exil, elle invite chacun à s'engager activement pour préserver nos valeurs démocratiques menacées par l'extrême droite et les populismes.
Un entretien articulé entre récit personnel, analyse critique et vision prospective, ponctué également par la voix littéraire de Diana. En effet, c'est par la fiction qu'elle trouve une échappée constructive aux questionnements actuels et invite les auditeurs à considérer autrement leurs propres doutes face à l'incertitude du futur.

When the CIA is forced to downsize, who gets cut? What happens to the intelligence left behind? And how does political control change the way spies operate?
In the late 1970s, Jimmy Carter’s CIA director launched a brutal purge, firing hundreds of intelligence officers in what became known as the Halloween Massacre. Now, with Trump taking his own axe to Langley, David and Gordon ask: is history repeating itself? And what happens when America’s spies become the target?

‘Still more traitors, still more treason…"
It is 1792 and France has been at war since April; it is not going well. In Paris, the Tuileries Palace has been stormed, and the royal family imprisoned. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between the main political factions of the Revolution, the Girondins and the Montagnard, led by the icy Maximilien Robespierre. The streets of Paris teem with armed young men - the Federes and the Sans-Culottes - responsible for the brutal slaughtering of the Swiss Guard earlier that year. They have arrested and imprisoned thousands of people. It is into this progressively febrile atmosphere of paranoia and fear that terrible news arrives: the Prussians, hungry for vengeance, have taken the fortress of Verdin. Rumours swirl of treason and betrayal from deep within Paris itself, and a new, chilling idea is raised to wash the city of counter revolutionaries once and for all: cleanse the prisons. So it is that on the 2nd of September, a group of Prisoners being escorted from one prison to another is stopped, and methodically hacked to death. The survivors face an impromptu tribunal before receiving the same treatment. Over the next few days, all prisoners across Paris are likewise judged, and many similarly damned and mutilated. A tide of bloodshed is rising, which will soon flood the streets of Paris, taking thousands of lives with it. Who will survive the massacre?
Join Dominic and Tom for the next series of the French Revolution, as they pick up this epic story - one of the most resounding and complex historical events of all time - with arguably the most horrific episode of the whole revolution: the September massacres…
