Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Chris Chermak.
Coming up on today's program, Gaza's ceasefire hangs in the balance before it begins.
We'll get the Palestinian perspective after.
Truth be told, the government has been not as focused on those issues as it could be.
We need to focus on them immediately.
That can happen now and that's what this election's gonna be.
Can I tell you something?
Canada's star central banker Mark Carney launches a political leadership bid.
We'll also explore the perilous state of Ecuador, one year after a national crime emergency.
We'll check in with Monocle's Nick Minise at Paris Design Week.
And finally, it is Global Countdown Thursday.
Can you give us a hint, Faye?
Where are we headed?
Absolutely.
Chris, show you the best of South African music.
All of that right here on the Briefing with me, Chris Chermack.
