And a very good morning to you.
If you've just tuned in, we're live in London this weekend.
You're with Monocle on Sunday with me, Emma Nelson.
Coming up on today's program, my guests Latika Book and Simon Brook are joining me around the table to share their views on the week's biggest stories.
Simon, welcome.
What for?
You spotted.
Well, the New York Times reports on how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are preparing for this week's presidential candidates debate.
There are riots in Paris following Emmanuel Macron's appointment of Michel Barnier as Prime Minister.
And watermelon pizza?
Could it be the next big thing, I wonder.
We had bananas last week.
It couldn't get much worse.
Well, until I heard that.
We'll also get the latest headlines from France.
Hello.
