Newshour - France in fresh political crisis as PM Lecornu quits after 26 days
France is facing further political chaos after the country's latest prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, resigned after just 26 days in the role. We'll hear from a French parliamentarian with the right-of centre party, Les Républicains - and we'll get the long view on French politics from veteran French journalist Christine Ockrent.
Also - as indirect talks begin between Hamas and Israeli delegations over the US-led peace plan for Gaza, we'll hear from an American go-between who knows the Hamas negotiators; and we look at what the appointment of Bari Weiss at CBS News says about the political weather surrounding journalism in the US.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Portland Sides With Antifa on the Wrong Side of History
Portland, Oregon, is under siege.
Antifa-style protesters have targeted federal ICE headquarters by blocking access, attacking officers, and daring Washington to respond. Now, President Trump wants to send federalized troops to restore order and uphold the law.
On Sunday, a federal judge blocked President Trump’s move to send National Guard troops to Portland. Asked about the judge’s order, Trump told press Monday his administration is going to “look at that.”
“Portland is burning to the ground. It’s insurrectionist all over the place,” the president said.
Victor Davis Hanson explains why this isn’t just about one city or one protest—it’s about whether states can defy federal law altogether on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“Trump's point, I think, is different. He is saying that the city of Portland, by its nonenforcement, by intent—not just capability, by intent—it is allowing an area of Portland to be free of, exempt from the law. Local law, state law, but more importantly, federal law, too.
“In other words, people can commit mayhem against federal personnel with impunity. And Donald Trump is saying that I have to protect the civil rights of those agents and that agency.”

Audio Mises Wire - Why Taxes Were So Hated in the Middle Ages
