You are listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on the 18th of December, 2024 on Monocle Radio.
Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Chris Chermak.
Coming up on a packed program today, could Israel and Hamas finally be nearing a deal for a ceasefire?
We'll at why this round of negotiations just might be different than the ones before it.
After that, we hear about two world leaders in trouble for very different reasons.
First, Justin Trudeau facing calls to resign in Canada.
Thank you all for being here tonight.
It's obviously been an eventful day.
Some understatement there from Trudeau.
And Monaco's Fernando Augusto Pacheco is here because you have news faith from President Lula.
Absolutely, Chris.
Today we discuss how Lula's recent health scares might affect Brazil's next election.
Thank you very much.
Faye will also be joined on the show by Monocle's editorial director, Tyler Brulee, to discuss the 80th anniversary of France's Le Monde newspaper.
And finally, a look at tech gadgets, just in time to fill out your final Christmas shopping lists.
All that right here on the Briefing with me, Chris Chermak.
The war in Gaza has been at the center of pretty much everything going on in the Middle east over the past year, more than a year.
And though the sides have come close to ceasefire deals before, there are some signs that they could actually be nearing the finish line.
Well, Michael Binion is foreign affairs specialist and editorial writer for the Times and joins us right here in the studio.
