World Briefing: Europe

The June EU Parliament elections hold immense significance, shaping the continent's political landscape amid geopolitical tensions and war. Projections suggest a notable rightward shift, potentially impacting EU and national policies, particularly on migration and climate change. We ask our speakers to assess this shift's significance and the impact it may have on the rest of the world.

The Human Cost of Russia's War
Jun 27th, 6pm
When Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, millions of lives changed in an instant.
Millions of people were suddenly on the move. In this great flow of people was a reporter from the north of Scotland. Jen Stout left Moscow abruptly, ending up on a border post in southeast Romania, from where she began to cover the human cost of Russian aggression. Stories from the night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers: stories from the ground, from a writer with a deep sense of empathy, always seeking to understand the bigger picture, the big questions of identity, history, hopes and fears in this war in Europe.

About
us
On Front Line is a new platform bringing together journalists and experts to discuss world events with a global perspective.
Our mission is clear - with world events moving at unprecedented speed, we inform and empower you to navigate the new frontline.
On Front Line began as an initiative to keep audiences informed and connected during national lockdowns. Our platform rapidly attracted global audiences and has now evolved into an independent collaborative organisation delivering live events series worldwide.
The topics are global issues that affect us all and the speakers are chosen to reflect that global perspective. International trailblazers, leading figures and field expert speakers.
Founded by Pranvera Shema Smith.
