Briefed - Your Daily European Podcast25 Jul 2025

France’s recognition of Palestine and Europe’s tough talk come a little too late

Today’s episode is brought to you in partnership with The Observer and Tortoise, who just released a brand new investigative podcast series, called “The Lab Detective”.

“The Lab Detective" deals with the story of Kathleen Folbigg, who experienced unimaginable loss. All four of her infant children died suddenly, over a 10-year period. Their deaths were unexplained. Until a police detective turned up at her door, and arrested Kathleen on suspicion of murder.

Kathleen was labelled ‘Australia's worst female serial killer’, convicted, and was destined to spend most of the rest of her life in jail.

Until a different type of detective entered her life. A scientist working in a lab who uncovered the truth behind the deaths.

This is the story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, but as journalist Rachel Sylvester starts to investigate how this happened, she learns that Kathleen is not alone – other mothers have endured the same fate, and may also be in prison.

The Lab Detective is a story about the power of science, and the determination of those searching for the truth.

About today's episode on Long Story Short:

Today, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting an emergency call with his E3 counterparts, France and Germany, to address what’s now being widely described as a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. “The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible,” said Starmer, in what was, frankly, a long-overdue acknowledgment of the scale of the crisis. He also called Palestinian statehood “an inalienable right.”

But as European leaders speak louder than ever, is this a turning point for EU foreign policy, or just another round of moral posturing?

Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.

Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.
