From the transcript

Welcome back to the Briefing Room, our weekly subscriber only, thank you so much, show that looks at regular warfronts coverage and asks, "What if we did that?" Only even more obscure and more nerdy. I'm Simon Whistler, and this week we're returning to one of our perennial topics, Ways Europe Still refuses to get it together.

Beyond that, we're taking in the political crisis in Peru before traveling to Kenya, where our reporter got caught up in events when police opened fire on a crowd of borders in the capital killing four.

As always, thank you for subscribing and supporting fronts not only does your membership help fund exclusive content just like this, but it also allows us to cover important but less lucrative topics on the main channel. So thank you again, means a lot, and let's get into how Europe keeps f*cking up its own sh*t.
