Terrorism strikes both Germany and Russia - with Ian Bond
Germany is in mourning after twelve people were killed at a Christmas market in Berlin in what Chancellor Angela Merkel described as a "probable terrorist attack". A man drove a lorry into crowds who had gathered at the market near the city's main shopping street. Meanwhile, Russia says it will boost security at all its embassies after the country's ambassador to Turkey was assassinated by an off duty policeman hours before the Berlin attack. Ian Bond is Director of Foreign Policy at the Centre for European Reform, and joined Share Radio's Juliette Foster on the line for more on these stories.

EU wary of cherry-picking as May demands early expat deal
The Prime Minister Theresa May has told EU leaders she wants an early deal on the status of migrants living in Britain as well as Britons living in Europe. Her comments came during a summit of European leaders where she updated them on the UK's plans for leaving the EU. European Union leaders have promised to stick together to ensure that Britain doesn't cherry pick a deal that might encourage other Eurosceptic states to leave the bloc.

May heads to Brussels, Germany dashes hopes of quick trade turnaround, & more - with Michael Hewson
A senior German government official says it's unlikely that a trade deal between Britain and Europe could be agreed in two years, alongside Brexit negotiations. Stephen Meyer's remarks came as the Prime Minister Theresa May was in Brussels attending a meeting of EU leaders. During the summit Mrs May said she wanted an early deal on the status of Britons living in Europe and EU citizens in the UK. In the meantime Chancellor Philip Hammond waded in by downplaying claims from Britain's EU ambassador that it could take up to ten years to reach a trade deal. So who's right? And what's the City's take on a Brexit saga that's about as clear as a bout of smog? Share Radio's Juliette Foster was joined on the line by Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets.
