And a very good morning to you.
We're live in London.
You're listening to Monocle on Sunday with me, Emma Nelson.
Coming up today here at Midori House in London, my guests Tina Fordham and Stephen DL share their views on the week's biggest stories.
Tina, good morning.
What have you spotted?
Good morning.
Well, as a political analyst, I'm always reading the news, so the question is more what's interesting about the news?
I think the announcement last night about national service was an interesting one.
It wasn't on my list, but Stephen and I corresponded about it.
Thank you.
And Stephen, what for?
You spotted.
You spotted the national service thing as well, didn't you?
I did spot the national service and there's a tenuous link that one could make with the war in Ukraine.
And indeed, my top story of the week has been more arrests amongst senior military officers in the Russian armed forces as Putin becomes ever more Stalin like.
Thank you for that.
Looking forward to it.
We'll also head to Nairobi for the latest.
This is Monocles correspondent in Nairobi.
