Radio Schuman spoke with water and drought expert Niko Wanders as much of Europe is buckling under a prolonged period of drought. He voiced “serious” concerns regarding water scarcity in Europe in the longer term, and discussed what people can do to mitigate the problem.

We also look at a meeting between European foreign ministers and those from the African Union as the EU seeks partners elsewhere in the face of the uncertain transatlantic relationship. And finally, how do Western Europeans feel about their countries developing independent nuclear weapons?
