"De cara al mundo", the Onda Madrid programme directed and hosted by Javier Fernández Arribas, director of Atalayar, weekly addresses global current affairs and the political keys shaping the international agenda.
New diplomatic avenues are opening whilst fighting intensifies in Eastern Europe. Apparently, the presidents of Ukraine and Russia have shown their willingness to resume negotiations to end the war following the recent visit to Moscow by Donald Trump's special envoy.
Yet on the ground, the military reality remains brutal: Russian missiles and drones have once again destroyed strategic Ukrainian energy facilities, forcing the mandatory evacuation of all children in the town of Kramatorsk. Regarding communications, Trump has claimed that Elon Musk has fully restored Starlink service in support of Ukrainian defences.
Journalist and correspondent María Senovilla will provide details and frontline dispatch on "De cara al mundo".
In Western Europe, internal security and civil stability command utmost concern. The Government of France has adopted special measures ahead of fresh mass protest calls, seeking to prevent violent far-left factions from triggering severe riots and looting.
The retail sector is hardening its defences to fend off assaults perpetrated by violent groups that, it is alleged, operate organised and funded by spurious interests aimed at destabilising a key continental power—a dynamic finding worrying echoes in countries like Italy or Spain.
Meanwhile, the United Nations headquarters is hosting decisive breakthroughs regarding the Western Sahara dispute. The backing of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the sole viable solution and the operational restructuring of the MINURSO mission are emerging as the central axes of the new draft resolution debated in the UN Security Council.
In Latin America, attention turns towards the decisive electoral showdown in Brazil. The country reaches this weekend with extreme polarisation at the polls, where the latest poll shows an absolute technical tie between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and challenger Flavio Bolsonaro.
Expert international analyst Lucas Martín will break down the strategic implications and geopolitical risks marking these events.
As every week, the debate panel will feature Atalayar's regular contributors, notably Pedro González, journalist and founder of Euronews, coordinated by Javier Fernández Arribas. The analysts will discuss in depth the protests and riots in France, the real prospects for dialogue between Ukraine and Russia amid the energy offensive, the final straight of Trump's campaign ahead of the midterms, the electoral outcome in Brazil, and the keys to the UN resolution project for Sahara.
