Germany no longer needs Europe - the dream is over Tuesday 17th May 2011, 6:45pm Royal Geographical society The Germans have got what they wanted from Europe — reunification — and feel increasingly disenchanted with the bargain they had to make to get it — accepting the euro. After the grudging bailout of Greece, the fumbled bailout of Ireland and all the sharp divisions exposed by the financial crisis, isn't the idea of Europe as a world power beginning to look like a pipe dream? Or will the euro crisis drive Europe's leaders to strengthen economic policy coordination to make sure there's no repeat performance, giving a fresh impetus for the dream of Europe? Come and hear what a former French president and five other big hitters have to say on the issue. Rob Lowe: Tales from Hollywood Wednesday 25th May 2011, 7pm Royal Geographical Society Teen idol at fifteen, founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, at 47 Rob Lowe is still one of Hollywood's top international stars.
