  • You're listening to Monocle on Saturday, first broadcast on 5th October 2024 on Monocle Radio.

  • Hello there, it's Emma Nelson broadcasting to you live from Midori house in London.

  • This is Monocle on Saturday.

  • Welcome.

  • And coming up on today's program, we'll have a look through the week's news and culture with Yossi Meckelberg, associate fellow, Middle east and North Africa program.

  • Yossi, obviously huge developments in the Middle east, but what have you spotted in particular?

  • Good morning, Emma.

  • I think we see that it's a very tense, tense moment in the Middle east to see Israel retaliation to Iran's attack.

  • Only a few days ago we talked about the decision of cabinet to let the debate in parliament over assisted dying, the debate between the vice president that was not as fierce as we expected it to be.

  • It was actually duller than expected.

  • Talk about the new Nintendo museum and went with the Israeli movie that one Israeli Academy and will represent the country in the Oscars.

  • It just so happens to be your brothers.

  • Thank you for that, Yossi.

  • Then coming up, reaching a height of 5 meters, the statue of Haviz Amanda stands on Helsinki shore near the market square in one of the city's most prominent and visible locations.

  • Monocle's Petri bursts off there, telling the story of a recently restored icon of the Finnish capital.

  • And then we'll explore the future of digital art with the global art network Lumen Studios.

  • Lots to pack in to Monocle on Saturday.

  • Then with me, Emma Nelson.

  • And a very good morning to you.

  • And good morning to you, Yossi.
