You are listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 11 March 2025 on Monocle Radio.
It is 2100 in Pyongyang, 1300 in Paris, midday here in London and 8am in New York City.
That is the time on Monocle Radio brought to you by Chanel Watches.
The briefing starts now.
Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Chris Chermack.
Coming up on today's program.
Hello,
I'm Monoclos Carlotta Rebelo
and I'll be explaining why Portugal's minority center right government is on the brink of collapse.
Looking forward to speaking with you, Carlotta, in just a moment.
After that, we'll speak to the man who wrote the book on Lazarus,
the group that has hacked $1.5 billion worth of cryptocurrency on behalf of the North Korean state.
From there to mipim, the world's largest real estate fair in Cannes.
And finally, we'll speak about the revival of rural bars in France.
All that right here on the Briefing with me, Chris Chermack.
We will start the show in Portugal,
where Prime Minister Luis Montenegro faces a no confidence vote after less
than a year at the helm of a minority government.
A collapse of the government today could lead to Portugal's third election in four years.
