You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on the 3rd of December, 2024 on Monocle Radio.
Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting to you live from Midori House in London.
I'm Georgina Godwin.
Coming up on today's program, we'll join Tyler Brulee live in Cannes at the luxury travel market to hear more details of the sumptuous event.
Then protests rock Tbilisi for the fifth night in a row.
We'll get the latest then.
Could that row that's been rumbling since the time of the Ottoman Empire be finally coming to an end?
The Greek and British prime ministers meet today.
Can they find a solution to the Parthenon marbles?
Plus, the idea that we must choose between our allies, that somehow we're with either America or Europe is plain wrong.
That's Sakir Starmer there.
We'll have analysis on his speech and discuss how, in spite of the talk of unity, the UK is trying to tighten protections around foreign interference in UK democracy.
And finally, we'll have a dispatch from fashion's most glamorous night of the year.
All that right here on the Briefing with me, Georgina Godwin.
We begin the show in the south of France at ILTM Cannes, the flagship luxury travel trade show, where last night our chairman and editorial director, Tyler Brulee, gave the keynote speech.
He joins us down the line now.
Tyler, I hear from Emma Nelson, who was on this morning, and also from Forbes magazine, that you absolutely brought the house down.
But have you also been tearing QR codes down?
Good afternoon, Georgina.
Yeah, it's been interesting because maybe I should sort of set the scene for you.
