Les Juifs de Bahreïn ont célébré lundi le 82e anniversaire de la Nuit de Cristal, également connue sous le nom de Nuit du verre brisé, pour la première fois depuis que la nation arabe a normalisé ses relations avec Israël le mois dernier.
Taking part in the project couldn’t be simpler. Starting today and until November 30, a small box will be visible on the web pages of France24.com and its European media partners that poses seven questions on current events being debated in Europe: Should public health always be the first priority during a pandemic, even if the economy suffers? Should wearing masks be compulsory in all public places in Europe? Should cars be banned from major city centres?
Once you have answered the seven questions and registered, the "Europe Talks" algorithm will put you in contact with another European who holds differing opinions.
In November we will introduce you to your discussion partner. After both of you have agreed to the debate, you can establish email contact and set up your video chat, scheduled for 3pm on December 13.
Virtual event on December 13
In mid-December, French, Italian, Greek, Slovakian, German and Swedish people who have never met before will gather to talk. For many of them, this will be a unique opportunity to discuss the major cross-border issues of our time.
How do we want to live with the pandemic in the long term? And what might a European response to this crisis look like? If the coronavirus crisis has prevented Europeans from circulating and meeting freely, December 13 will be an opportunity to recreate a space for dialogue and discussion.
Europe Talks was created three years ago by the prominent German news magazine Zeit Online. Last year's event was a great success, with more than 16,000 people registering for discussions on stricter border controls, climate protection and migration policy in Europe with other Europeans. At the time, thousands of Europeans travelled to meet their discussion partners. And more than 500 people gathered for a large event organised in Brussels.
Joanna Popiołekune, an employee at the University of Gdansk in Poland, travelled more than 1 000 kilometres to meet Christoph, a German account manager, to discuss migration policy and the EU's relations with Russia.
Britain's Tom Ross and Germany's Nils Nehring were also complete strangers before they met for Europe Talks. Both football lovers, they chose the historic Cambridge pitch, where the modern rules of football were invented. Their debate focused overwhelmingly on Brexit, and they later reported that their discussion had been "fantastic".
Other participating media include Die Zeit and Phoenix in Germany, Politiken in Denmark, La Repubblica in Italy, Der Standard in Austria, Gazeta Wyborcza in Poland, bTV Media Group in Bulgaria, Efimerida Ton Syntakton in Greece, Delfi in Latvia, lRT.lt in Lithuania, Volkskrant in the Netherlands, Expresso in Portugal, Republik in Switzerland, Kapital in Slovakia, HotNews and Calea Europeana in Romania, and the Mirror in the UK.

How will Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential election impact Europe? And can Europe find its place amid the rivalries between the United States and China? We put these questions and more to former World Trade Organization head Pascal Lamy.
Having Biden as president "will not change the world", the former WTO chief told FRANCE 24. "We still have a host of problems to cope with together... But I believe that addressing these problems, coping with them, trying to solve them together will be much easier with a Biden administration than with a Trump administration who spent a lot of time trying to simply demolish the multilateral cooperation system."
Lamy also cast doubt on the prospects for an EU-US trade deal. "This dream of a grand transatlantic trade agreement – that would totally open trade between Europe and the US – is dead, for a variety of reasons: some good, some in my view less good."
Asked about multilateralism, Lamy called for more European unity: "The Europeans have their say when they are united, they don't when they are divided. So if the Europeans want to properly defend and promote both our interests and our values, we have to be more united. We are united in trade and it works. We are sort-of united on environment and it works. And if Joe Biden goes back to the Paris agreement, this will be thanks to some sort of leadership in Europe."
Turning to the future of US-China relations, the former WTO chief sounded a note of caution: "With this US-China rivalry that is here to stay, Biden will manage it differently from Trump, but the rivalry is here to stay. We will probably have to make our own contribution more solid – and this necessitates more unity."

Finally, asked about Brexit and the possibility of the UK and the EU trading on so-called "Australia-style" terms, Lamy did not mince his words: "[The UK] trading on EU-Australia terms is just a joke. The EU and Australia have no agreement at all. They trade on WTO rules, which as I often said, are the third division, compared to the first league which is the internal market. So trading on Australian-EU terms means no trade deal at all, and I think this should not be the way to go."
