Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots,
from the bell towers of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral to the streets of Pompeii.
to the gladiators' coliseum in Rome.
We'll walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London.
We will unravel the mysteries of the Minoans on the island of Crete.
Let me narrate your historic summer on Dan Snow's History wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to The World in Ten.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

he's already imposed the first of the threatened penalties on buyers of Russian oil.
India becoming the first target,
facing huge 50% tariffs that some are calling a de facto trade embargo.
The White House announcement came despite positive news of a potential meeting between Trump and Putin next week.
And it's cratered the once close relationship between Trump and India's Prime Minister,
Narendra Modi.
To unpack it all, our guest today is Dr. Chittij Bajpayee from Chatham House's Asia Pacific program.
