  • You're listening to the Globalist, first broadcast on 21st October, 2024 on Monocle Radio, the globalist in association with UBS.

  • Hello, this is the Globalist Broad broadcasting to you live from Midori House in London.

  • I'm Georgina Godwin.

  • On the show today is about Moldova.

  • And it's about voting for a peaceful and free country.

  • Maya Sandhu, speaking after she cast her vote in the Moldovan elections, will examine the consequential polls that took place in the country over the weekend and whether she's held onto her position as president of the country.

  • As Israel bombs Beirut and Netanyahu alleges an assassination attempt will catch up with the latest developments in the Middle East.

  • And we'll have analysis of Jokowit Widodo's rule in Indonesia, which came to an end yesterday.

  • And ask what the future holds for the country of 280 million people.

  • We'll flick through the international papers, have a roundup of art news.

  • And then so the coffee, culture, the piazza that were very influential back in the day now are maybe less important.

  • We'll hear from the organizer of Utopian Hours, Europe's leading festival on city making and innovation.

  • That's all ahead here on THE Globalist.

  • Live from London.

  • First, a look at what else is happening in the news.

  • Pennsylvania's Democratic governor Josh Shapiro has called on law enforcement to investigate billionaire Elon Musk for his promise at a weekend pro Trump rally to give away $1 million each day until the election.

  • Tens of thousands of pro EU demonstrators staged a rally in Tbilisi, Georgia, on Sunday, a week before parliamentary elections that will decide the country's future path in Europe.

  • And Cuba's electrical grid collapsed again yesterday, the fourth such failure in 48 hours, with Hurricane making a hurricane making landfall to compound the island's misery and threaten further havoc on its decrepit infrastructure.

  • Do stay tuned to Monocle Radio throughout the day for more on those stories.

  • Now, yesterday, Moldova conducted two polls, one to elect a president and the second, a referendum on whether the country should join the European Union or not.
