You're listening to Monocle On Saturday, first broadcast on the 8th of February, 2025 on Monocle Radio.
Hello there.
It's Emma Nelson here coming to you live from Midori House in London.
This is Monocle on Saturday.
A very warm welcome to the programme.
We'll be going through the week's news and culture with the author and political journalist Terry Stiasney.
She joins me now.
Good morning, Terry.
Good morning.
What have you spotted?
Well,
I'm afraid we're still going to be getting into what's going on in the United States
and the impact that is having on the rest of the world,
particularly looking at what's going on with foreign aid.
And meanwhile, of course, there's an election going on in Germany.
Voters there are a bit worried about outside interference.
And we'll look at how political debate in Italy has gone barking mad.
Thank you very much indeed for that.
Our traveler, Monocle's Georgina Godwin, is on her tour.
She'll bring us an update from where she is and what she's been working on, too.
