You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 14th March 2025 on Monocle Radio.
Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.
I'm Georgina Godwin.
Coming up on today's programme terminations, Tesla, Trump and tariffs.
Our US Editor Chr Lord is here to discuss the latest from Washington.
Our foreign editor Alexis Self joins me to look through the papers.
What do you have for us, Lex?
Hi, Georgina.
I've got a story about next week's ballot to elect the upcoming President of the IOC
and what that means for the future of the Games.
Well, stay right there because we'll be back with you in just a moment.
We're also going to look at the maritime agreement signed between Indonesia
and Vietnam and what it means for unrest in the South China Sea.
Plus the topical issue that some countries are facing because they've got rising populations,
they've got a will to modernize and they want to achieve ambitious development.
We'll bring you more content from Cannes
and we'll dive into the spring issue of Confect with editor Sophie Grove.
All that right here on the Briefing with me, Georgina Godwin.
It's not been a great week for the world's richest man,
Elon Musk, architect of the huge cost cutting exercise across US government departments.
