‘Russia launches record number of drones’ & ‘French mass r**e trial concludes’ & ‘Merkel releases highly anticipated memoir' - Paper Talk Europe

Russia’s record bombing of Ukraine leads much of the bloc’s major news sites this morning as Ukraine’s air force says it has shot down 76 Russian drones in 17 regions, whilst another 95 were lost from their radars or downed by electronic jamming defensive systems in overnights attacks.

Former German chancellor Angela Merkel also dominates much of the European news. A formidable feature of European politics, Merkel served Germany for 16 years. Today, her memoir Freedom is released. The highly anticipated memoir confronts criticisms of her policies on Russia and migration, which some say left Germany overly dependent on Russian gas and has fueled the rise of the far right in the Deutschland.

The conclusion of the mass r**e trial in France finds plenty of space as prosecutors demand the maximum sentence for Gisèle Pelicot's ex-husband and women around the world protesting for an end to violence against women. Much of the European media - including the UK - are running various campaigns and stories around violence towards women, sexual assault and calls for governments to do better.
