Hello, there it is, the 15th of February 2025.
It's Emma Nelson here broadcasting to you.
Welcome to Monocle on Saturday.
Coming up on today's program,
I'll be delighted to welcome Yasmin Abdelmejid to the studio to go through the week's news
and culture.
A very good morning.
Yasmeen, what have you spotted?
Well,
we've got more from the fallout of the US Aid cuts
and the kind of response from African nations looking
at Saudi leading Arab states in discussions for a new Gaza plan.
And also the Austrian businessman trying to take over the name and trademark of James Bond.
Thank you very much indeed for that y.
Then we'll be hearing from Georgina Godwin.
She's still on her travels.
And we'll hear from Di Speers from the BBC National Short Story Award.
That's all coming up on Monocle on Saturday.
