This is the Globalist with me, Emma Nelson.
A very warm welcome to today's program.
Coming up in the next 60 minutes.
We do not support Taiwan independence.
We remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side.
We continue to expect the peaceful resolution of cross strait differences.
The US May not have changed its stance, but Taiwan's president is looking to challenge this status quo with a visit to the Pacific islands and US Territories.
We'll look at what he hopes to gain and how much he'll anger China.
Also coming up, swimming in the Seine, bicycle lanes and a 15 minute city.
We examine the legacy of Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo as she says she won't run for office again.
We'll hear about the scandal of the faulty Ukrainian artillery shells.
Learn the latest aviation news and Andrew Muller will recap what we learned this week as well.
And hot dog Vienna's sausage stalls are awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.
That's all coming up on the Globalist.
Live from London.
First, a quick look at what else is happening in today's news.
