Hello and welcome to the Curator on Monocle Radio with me, Laura Kramer.
Over the next 60 minutes, we'll be bringing you some of the very best interviews and reports from the past week of coverage on Monocle Radio with highlights from our studios here at Midori House and from around the world.
Coming up this week, a year after Hamas militants launched an unprecedented cross border attack on Israel, we we discuss how October 7th changed the middle east forever.
Then Vladimir Putin signs a decree for tens of thousands to join Russia's military.
We'll ask how many will answer his call.
Also ahead in the next 60 minutes.
She might be prone to have weapons inside the apartment right now, we just don't know.
We'll go for a ride along with the Dallas PD as we turn our attention to the role of policing in the US presidential campaign.
Then our goal is 2028 for the mammoth.
We have not set a timeline for the dodo externally, I should say.
But what I will say is that it is highly likely we will see an animal before the mammoth.
We'll decode the past as we meet the co founder of a company using ancient DNA to bring back extinct species.
All that and much, much more over the next hour here on the CURATOR with me, Laura Kramer.
On October 7th, Israel will observe the first anniversary of the worst day of its 76 year history.
On that day last year, Hamas broke out of the confines of Gaza and embarked on a killing spree that left nearly 1200 dead and thousands injured.
251 people were kidnapped and taken hostage, of whom several dozen remain captive on the foreign desk.
This Saturday, our host Andrew Mueller spoke with Mina Al Oyraibi, editor in chief at the national in Abu Dhabi.
She began by describing how the Hamas attack first landed in her own newsroom as they started to understand what had happened on October 7.
Of course, it happened over a weekend and so many newsrooms were half staffed.
And very quickly we realized, no, this is going to be a major moment.
