Italy votes in EU poll

Four countries are voting today for their members of the European parliament, on the third of four voting days across the European Union. In Slovakia, opinion polls suggest last month's assassination attempt on the prime minister Robert Fico has propelled his populist party into the lead. In Italy, the prime minister Georgia Meloni's party is predicted to perform well, amid a wave of growing far-right support across Europe. We have an interview with the Polish foreign minister, Radek Sikorski.

The Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has been assaulted in the capital Copenhagen. Her office said a man had hit Ms Frederiksen while she was on a square in the centre of the city.

Also, with the gargantuan Taylor swift tour landing in the UK, we will go to the pub which fans have been oddly congregating in!

Joining the presenter Luke James, our guests are Alec Russell, Foreign Editor for the Financial Times, and Suzanne Lynch, associate editor of Politico, the US news website.
