Finished but cannot parse 2 clues :

7d (8) Dissent from dreadful leader in Europe, about to collapse
?I?A?R?E DISAGREE ?
19d (8) Picked up by chance, hitch-hiker finally leaving at a higher point
O?E?H?A? OVERHEAR ?

19 Overhead is 'at a higher point' and the 'r' comes from the end of 'hitch-hiker' ('hitch-hiker finally') -so Overhea r d, picked up by chance.

7 D. It's Dire, dreadful, Sag, collapse. Re, about and E, leader in (the word) Europe - Di sag re e. Disagree, dissent.
