The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is holding its annual summit this week in San Francisco, the first time the United States has hosted since 2011. The main event will be on the sidelines: a tête-à-tête between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his American counterpart Joe Biden. The two haven't spoken since they met last November, and a lot has happened since then to sour trade relations.

Over the course of two weeks, starting on September 19, some 100,000 Armenians fled the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in an exodus prompted by Azerbaijan’s invasion of the contested region, which had been governed by ethnic Armenians for some three decades. In Perspective, we spoke to Richard Giragosian, the founding director of the Regional Studies Center – an independent think-tank in Yerevan – to discuss Azerbaijan’s recent takeover.

French papers focus on the nationwide demonstrations against anti-Semitism that took place on Sunday. While the massive turnout suggests some degree of unity on the matter, the presence of the far-right National Rally party divided opinions. We also take a look at the Al-Shifa hospital which is taking centre stage in the Israel-Hamas war and finish with a look at why dozens of bird species in the US and Canada are getting new names.

It's not often that an EU member state decides to hold a national election just as it takes over the rotating presidency of the European Union.

In this second part of the show, we focus on Spain's scientific research and the importance of EU funds to the country.

In Canada, the opioid crisis is so widespread that even the neighbourhood around parliament is overrun with drugs. Ottawa, the federal capital, has been hard hit by an increase in drug trafficking and with it, overdoses and crime. Just like in the US, authorities are blaming the high addictive painkiller fentanyl, an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine. Nearly 40,000 Canadians have died from overdoses since 2016 and in 75 percent of cases, fentanyl was to blame, according to Health Canada.

Georgia has erupted in protest once again, as the ruling Georgian Dream party pursues a "foreign agents" bill in parliament – something that has left a question mark hanging over the country’s European ambitions. The EU granted the ex-Soviet nation candidate status to join the bloc last December. We speak to Georgia's President Salomé Zourabichvili, who plans to veto the final draft of the law, but admits that parliament can still override her veto. That makes the October 26 election even more crucial for re-asserting the country’s European path, she says.

Women make up nearly half the active population in Germany, but the arrival of a baby completely changes their position in the labour market. More than 70 percent of mothers of children under the age of six work part time. Mothers – particularly in the west of Germany – are still encouraged to stay at home for a few years after giving birth, but a mediocre childcare system also plays a part. The lack of nursery places is glaring, with more than 400,000 children on waiting lists. In response, the state is investing billions and even guarantees childcare places for all children up to the age of 10. But the problem persists.
