Land lies the talks with the Ukrainian MP from Ukraine to France, which is caught in a migration dispute with its former colony of Algeria.
We'll also explore an interview with the administrator of the Panama Canal in Monocle's March magazine issue, hear about the first cargo only bullet train in Japan.
And after that, we are continuing to learn basically that satirizing current American politics has become pretty much a matter of merely reciting what actually happens.
Andrew Muller's what We Learned this week.
We'll also have a look at the today's newspapers and get an update of trade and economy news.
That's all up ahead here on the Globalist live from London.
First, a look at what else is happening in the news.
