Steph Curry delivered 20 points and assisted on draymond green's tiebreaking three point play late in the game. Jonathan comeing scored 22 points on 9 of 11 shooting off the bench for Golden State. For a great team to win, needs him out for he needs to move the ball. Everybody gotta have to fill the ball. And that's pretty much what we came out there and do. And that's what got us this win.

Life Through Death
"John chapter 12 versus 24 and 25. Truly, truly, I say to you. Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. There's so much we could talk about in these two versus, but just meditate on this principle. If you want to live, you must die. Jesus makes that very clear, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. The key to bearing fruit, the key to experiencing John ten ten abundant life is dying. And specific ways and dying to ourselves in our ways and our preferences, what we want, being crucified with Christ,

"Former vice president Mike Pence is still in the category of Republicans described as mulling a 2024 presidential bid, but he is laying out the policy approaches he'd like to see. I'm Ben Thomas, with this latest comments, common sense, and compassionate solutions. That's what Mike Pence says it'll take to reform entitlement programs in the nation's debt burden. Speaking to students at Washington and Lee university, the former vice president suggested changes are needed to social security and Medicare. As they closed in on projected and solvency dates. And while not offering specifics, he asserted, we can introduce common sense reforms that will never touch anyone who is in retirement or anyone who will retire in the next 25 years. The Pence said it will take courage to do it in the support of the current generation of young adults.

11 Big Banks Create $30 Billion Rescue Package for First Republic
"11 big banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and more announced last night that they would take these somewhat theatrical step of depositing $30 billion worth of uninsured deposits into the troubled first republic bank. But even that move, along with the introduction of the fed's latest bailout window, it might still not be enough to quiet concerns about just how stable and safe the U.S. banking system really is, just this morning as we go to air, even with yesterday's rescue still in the headlines, we're seeing first republic stock trading down nearly 25%. Zach, we've had a backstop, a lending facility that lets banks basically exchange their get their cash back for bad investments made and essentially the best terms. And now the big banks are throwing cash at the problem also. What do you think it will take for the regulators to restore confidence in the banking system or is that something that we're not even really expecting at this point? Well, you know at first republic bank doesn't have the taint of crypto attached to it. That's the thing that stands out to me as it relates to its ability to survive while we see signature be wound down. Obviously this crisis is one of confidence. If you look at people who are researching this issue, pretty much all midsize banks are having this issue, right? They bought bonds that are now worth far less than what they were marked as on their books, right? So clearly, I think people are worried that this could spread to other banks across the country, not just those in California who service, tech firms, but again, those who have customers who are looking to find yields and who are realizing that in this interest rate environment, they can go elsewhere to get yield and they can take that money out of a bank quickly in the palm of their hand and deposit it in a money market account, but they can deposit it with treasuries at their own will, right? So I think clearly what we're seeing is a response to sort of this systemic reality in which we now find ourselves in where money is moving as fast as it ever has. Faster than ever indeed. And all of a sudden, billions and billions of dollars are being drawn out of these banks in hours time. It's quite remarkable and I think that's why we're seeing these remarkable steps.

Military moves to cut suicides, but defers action on guns
"The Pentagon is taking action to cut military suicides, but holding off on endorsing some controversial recommendations. Among the steps spokesman pat rider says to fend chief Lloyd Austin is ordering, improvements in mental healthcare access, including hiring more behavioral health specialists and changes in scheduling appointments. We will exhaust every effort to promote the wellness health and morale of our total force, but in a memo Austin does not specifically refer to gun safety or gun proposals made by an independent panel that included raising two 25 the minimum age for troops to buy guns and ammunition. It also recommended requiring anyone living in military housing to register privately owned firearms. The omission of any gun safety and control measures underscores the likelihood they'd face strong resistance.

The Vicious Attacks Against Pregnancy Resource Centers
"Over the last several months, we have seen a number of vicious attacks, not just vandalism, but firebombing massive destruction of property against pregnancy resource centers. And what are the pregnancy resource centers? They're pro life organizations that not only counsel pregnant women and girls not to get abortions, but also provide them with alternatives, provide them with ways that they can carry the baby to term, put it up for adoption, or if they're if they like resources, provide them with the resources so that they can actually support the child that they want to have, but maybe we'll considering a boarding because I can't afford a third kid. That sort of thing. This is what these pregnancy resource centers do. And in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision, two things have been happening. The pregnancy resource centers have been getting attacked. And in some cases, attacked by groups that openly claim to be terrorist groups as a group called James revenge, which says quote we demand the disbanding of all anti choice establishments and they condone and take credit for attacks when they occur on pregnancy centers. So here you have a natural target for the FBI and the DoJ to go after. And yet it seems oddly enough that they that they don't. Now, I saw that Merrick Garland was before the it was testifying before Congress. And he was asked about this. And he goes, oh, no, no, no. We are completely equitable. He goes, we prosecute, to violations of the face act. Now, the face act is this act. It's called the freedom of access to clinic entrances. It was fast in the Clinton years in the 1990s. And for about 25 years nobody was even charged under the act, but then suddenly we saw that the Biden DoJ is hauling up pro lifers for violating the face act. And these are typically pro life protesters who are doing nothing more than standing outside these clinics and trying to get the attention of people going into them and saying in effect don't get an abortion.

The Language of Evangelicalism
"John, I think you'll probably know. I'm an evangelical Roman Catholic Presbyterian. That means I go to mass on Saturday night and I go to my Presbyterian Church on Sunday, one river two banks, but I speak evangelical very well. Rick Warren and Greg Laurie are friends, Al Muller is a weekly conversationalist with me. I know, you know, John piper I read desiring God years ago. I know most of the stuff you talk about. I've got to tell you at the beginning. I have never heard of CJ Mahoney or Lou engel until I read your book. Never heard and I've been covering religion since 1992. So first question, do you think your perspective in testimony might be jaded by that particular covenant life church experience and these particular pastures? Well, I guess, can I ask you what you mean by jaded, just that my experience might not reflect a more mainstream experience? Is that what you're kind of? Yeah, I think mainstream evangelicalism is not anti intellectual at all. But then again, I've had doctor Mark Roberts as a pastor for 25 years. He got his undergrad and PhD from Harvard. Doctor Larry is my current pastor in oldtown is a phenomenal scholar and preacher and archbishop who is listening right now in the author of three books is an intellectual giant in the Catholic world and I've written three books on evangelicalism and this, I just think testimony is a 100% accurate about 1% of the church. How's that sound? Yeah, I think my dad raised a similar objection. When I talked to him about the book, he does not feel like a lot of evangelical culture is anti intellectual. And I think it's a totally fair question to raise. I do think that even if you haven't heard of CJ Mahaney or Lou angle, you know, I did some reporting recently. Let me deal with CJ first. CJ is not a figure on the same level as somebody like Al molar. But until about, you know, 7, 9, ten years ago, he was of a similar stature to Al mohler, if not as nationally known. So never quite got to that level, but was kind of on his way there was working with Mueller quite closely in a group of other ministers who were organizing a conference every year called. I think together for the gospel. Danny Louisville.

Banks Fail While Bitcoin Rips
"It was a monumental weekend. We saw it today, one of the largest moves in rates we saw Bitcoin as well move back up to 25,000. We saw the USD C stablecoin D peg down to something like 80 7 cents or something at some point while I mean three or four crypto banks just got literally a sawed off shotgun blown to the back of the head. Sorry, but it was a brutal takedown in a very coordinated effort. And some were still here in Bitcoin's at 25 K so pizza mine, what do we make of all this? I just finished a podcast recording earlier with erbil karaman from cumul finance, and in that podcast I said the game is rigged. So while it looks like the American government is completely anti crypto. And they don't want innovation on their soil. The actual opposite is true. And they're doing everything in their power to hold their legs around this industry that is just running a million miles an hour. And we know freaking old people in the government just can't keep up and they're saying, we don't want this to get away from us. We want to be able to participate. We want to keep control of this. But we're not ready. And the crypto space is saying, we don't need you to be ready. And we don't care about you. In fact, we were invented to fix all the problems you have created. So screw you. And they're saying, no way. So, here's what I'm seeing happening right now. We're seeing a coordinated effort to try and crash as many young startups as possible.

"All around the world. It's time to talk business now with Isabel Hamilton, whose senior tech reporter at Business Insider good morning to you Isabel. Good morning. Now German tourists have been told to use colorful luggage. Why is this? Yeah, this is the head of Frankfurt airport. He's told people to use colorful luggage because he says that so many people have black wheelie suitcases and it makes it kind of slower to identify them and at the minute with all the travel chaos that's going on. He says that in like a time pressured situation it can help to have a more distinctive piece of luggage. But it's still going to get lost, whether it's pink or black. I'm not sure the comments have been met with a huge amount of credibility, especially because the reason they're getting lost isn't because they're black and he doesn't really make it clear in his statement whether or not the quickness of identifying suitcase is down to the person who owns it or the person who's sorting it. So yeah, I think it's safe to say this won't solve the problems with luggage getting lost. And there are mountains of it. I mean, they're saying thousands and thousands of cases. Yeah, The Guardian reported that Frankfurt had something like 2000 pieces of luggage stranded in its airport. So it is getting quite mountainous. So clearly the answer travel with hand luggage only. Yes, that would be the best advice is just to take hand luggage. Obviously not an option for everyone, but if you can, just are on the side of caution. Yeah. Now, let's have a look at this Google story because a little while ago, one of their engineers said that he thought that their AI chat bot was sentient. What happens since then? He has been fired as of Friday. So this is a man called Blake lemoyne, who was working in Google's ethical AI division and he became convinced that an AI chat bot had gained sentience. He characterized it as being on the level of about a 7 or 8 year old and that was in June and now he's been fired. So he's been sort of on leave for quite a while and he's been quite active talking to the press in that time and Google said in a statement that he has persistently broken company policy and that's why they've let them go. Company policy I was speaking to the press. They didn't say speaking to the press, it was to do with discussing internal products, but they didn't sort of put a label on it to be honest. They just said he was breaking persistently breaking companies policy. And they have also completely denied that this AI bot is sentient. Yes, and not just Google, pretty much every expert out there has said that this doesn't meet any threshold for determining sentence in any sort of framework that exists, not that there's a perfect one out there, but no one's convinced to be honest apart from lemoyne. Let's move on to Bill Gates, who is always on the rich list, but he's planning to exit it. He doesn't want to be on one of the world's richest people. Yes, he announced this, he announced, I think, last week that he plans to gradually slip down the list and eventually come off it. And he's given away 6 billion in shares as of yesterday, I believe. Which have gone to his charitable foundation, the bill and gates, the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So they're not sort of completely out of his reach, per se, but the idea being he moves the wealth out of his personal funds to his charitable foundation, which then spends billions over years. On what various yeah, I mean, famously vaccination programs, developing different medicines, trying to help develop logistics infrastructure and places, for example, in African countries where it's difficult to move around vaccines in things like refrigerated trucks.

"Kind of like sailing. And sometimes the winds are go with you and sometimes they're against you. The mood is very stoic. Within Ukrainian society, that it is very clear that Russia is the enemy, as far as the perceptions of Ukraine's partnerships and allied states, there we have a little bit of faltering, quite a bit of disappointment. But not surprisingly, disappointed individuals who really thought that the west would support Ukraine better and faster and stronger. The fact that we do have a significant defense industry support coming in is extremely important. We definitely need, but it's very slow. If we had the hirs and multiple rocket launching systems and really distance long-range missiles, this war would be ended much faster, but the allies didn't want to help Ukraine close their skies. They don't want their moving so slowly that as sort of bitterness is starting to form here in as a result of a lack of understanding why it's okay to be committing genocide in Ukraine with such little real strong reaction against the Russians and the people who run their country. There are reports of a big fight back being launched in the south of the country. Do you know much more about that? Well, of course, the word is that Ukraine is going to be pushing back. And really trying to get the Russians out of that the occupied territories. So on the one hand, it's positive everybody wants them out. Nobody wants them here. But that having been said, it really depends on the manpower and the weaponry that we have. So yes, the south is definitely a place to be watching, but let us be reminded once again that the Russians are having an enormous army, although it's very, very low in morale and there are numerous stories of them trying to escape Ukraine actually. But we do have the Belarusian threat and the Black Sea from which we are being bombed and targeted daily. And finally, do we know any accurate casualty numbers? No. I mean, even if we look at the United Nations official number, the claim that something over two and a half thousand people have died from the beginning of this war, civilians. In Mario, we have lost over 20,000 people. The Ukrainians assert that something like 38,000 Russians have been killed since they attacked Ukraine. We hear fluctuating even differences between numbers given by the British intelligence and the central intelligence Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. So the numbers in one hand, they need to be protected, but on the other hand, we have actually really know idea. And it is extremely upsetting to everybody that we know thousands of people have been killed. Many, many thousands. And finally, ladder, I understand that you were with our colleagues in Kyiv just a couple of days ago. Yes. It was lovely to see them. Well, let's hear from them next ladder. He found out of black trident. Thank you very much for talking to us.

Monaco's carlotta rubella and Chris turmeric sent us this dispatch. Good morning, Georgina. We are coming to you today from the town of Suva in Romania. We just crossed the border from Ukraine to Romania and I'm of course joined by Monaco's news editor Chris Sharma. Good morning Chris. Good morning, carlotta. Yes, what can we say? It's good to be out. I suppose of Ukraine in some ways, but it's been, well, an emotional and quite interesting, of course, trips for the last 9 days. So for the past 24 hours, we were in the south in the city of chernivtsi in western Ukraine, this is a city that has really become a hub for many people. It's one of the few that hasn't been hit by any missiles during the conflict so far. And because of its proximity to the Romanian border, it has become kind of a hub for people moving within Ukraine. The population has nearly doubled since February 24th, which is quite astonishing. So yesterday we were around the city seeing a few projects and meeting a few of the people who are living there, including someone from the city council who was working in their urbanism department to really bring some projects to make the city better. Some of the projects who were already ongoing before the conflict and others that have been sped up due to the amount of new residents that this city has.

What happens to her supporters now? Clearly, incredibly disappointed by their by their loss. And they're holding Macron to account. So what is the far right going to do now? She claimed victory. By the way, which was a strange way to lose. She said it was a brilliant victory. Okay, when you look at history, like her father, in 2002, had 5 million voters. Now she has more than 13 million. So in this sense, you can say, with each election, they get stronger. Now her main challenge is to get MPs in parliament because she has actually just a handful like 6 7 MPs when you think of her importance politically is a weird. So her challenge is to build not, I think it would be very difficult for her to build a majority from so few MPs, but to build to be elected locally to manage to have candidates elected locally, which did not happen so far in French politics. And when it comes to drawing the French political map for the next few years, we have so many young voters who have not gone for the political parties. I mean, when you look at the way that the traditional political parties, the left and the right, who dominated the field until Macron came along. They're all splintering and we're seeing a lot of young people who are going to absolute extremes. The far left had an enormous voice last night. It was quite a silent one but it was very powerful one as well. Where does where does France sort of come together? Whether it's meeting points that will actually create a bit more coherence within the country. Well, that will be the job of the prison to decide. What does he mean? But what does he need to start his work? It will certainly need to give a signal and I think that's what he has in mind on the cost of living, like he had in his program like some measures, whether he will add new ones, but I think that will be his first signal. You know, his first answer to this election, because he felt this was really the central point. And then he will have yes to what will be important is to see who we choose as prime minister, the kind of signal he will give, whether it will be somebody of the traditional right, like he did so far. Or somebody more socially minded, somebody else, that was interesting. During his speech, he said twice the word bien valance, like meaning kindness, goodwill, something like with a protective aspect, and it's a bit newer. In his talk, so he insisted on this. So you could think he will look for someone, maybe a woman, I'm only speculating, but who will be more open to more empathic to voters more socially minded, not only concentrating on figures and economics as he does himself brilliantly.

Douglas Redick always good Tiffany. Thanks for being with us, Doug's a non resident senior fellow in the global economy and development program at brookings. James Rogers though, just the last word on this. I know it seems in some ways it's sort of almost inappropriate to talk about what could happen in Russia in a post Putin environment when this is still in this terrible situation on the ground. In Ukraine. But nevertheless, it is instructive and you look at the stymie all of this progress that Doug was talking about there. Presumably it's not merely a personnel question. If we talk about what could fix that erosion of progress that he was talking about, it structural, it takes the amount of time it takes. It's generational. We've already seen these kind of shifts from the Soviet Union to the Russian Federation to Putin's Russia, et cetera. What could that even look like? It is something we still have to talk about, right? Yeah, we do. But I think it's also important to remember, I think it's very, very hard to overestimate the significance of what has happened in the last four weeks. You know, this is really, really a massive moment. But the people who I would completely agree with those people saying this is the beginning of the reversal of 1989. It is something which is going to affect the world as much as 9 11. This is not just a regional conflict. This is a massive, massive moment in global history. And talking about what might happen after Putin. Well, I don't see the post Putin era actually coming along really. I mean, certainly not in the short term. Of course I might be wrong, but firstly, there's no obvious alternative. Every indication as far as one can establish from outside the country is that many people do accept the official line about why this special military operation as it is termed in Russia is being prosecuted. And so I think for that reason, and let's not forget all these things which have been done so suddenly by the cutting off of international air travel, the closure of these international brands, the stopping of international trading agreements. These are not things which are that particularly rapidly reversed once done. You know, it does take a lot of time to reverse them. There is also, you know, if whatever happens to mister Putin, of course, he's due to stand for election again in a couple of years time, but whatever happens, there is absolutely no real prospect or certainly not a guarantee that the next administration that comes after him, however long way that might be, will be substantially different in its outlook. James fascinating insights, as always, that was our friend James Rogers, author of assignment Moscow, reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin and before that, we were joined by Doug Reddick from brookings, my thanks to them both.

Journalist for hertz, she joins us on the line now from Tel Aviv. Good afternoon to you, Allison. Thanks for joining us on the program. Just give us your sense and maybe a bit of the mood on the ground where you are, of the significance of this visit. Well, the significance actually just changed in the past few hours. We've known now for a few days that Secretary of State Anthony blinken was planning on this trip to Israel, Algeria, and Morocco, and it seems like rather unusual timing with the war raging in Europe. He said that he was coming to talk about the attempts to mediate by Israel's prime minister Natalie Bennet, who has been going back and forth between president zelensky and Ukraine and Vladimir Putin in.

"In Rome 7 22 here in London now for the EU's smallest member state Malta has some big issues. It is on the gray list of the international watchdog on money laundering. 5 years ago, the journalist Daphne caruana galizia was brutally murdered as well with her death later found to have involved government officials. She was investigating reports of links between the Maltese government and wealthy Russian oligarchs. While it is in this context that voters in Malta go to the polls this weekend to take part in parliamentary elections. And joining me now from baker in Malta is Matthew schwerer, whose assistant editor at the times of Malta. Good morning, Matthew. Good morning. Good morning, Emma and good morning for your listeners. It is an astonishing greater, have you? It is an astonishing catalog of problems that Malta faces at the moment, isn't it? Yes, it is. But ironically, it's none of these things that you mentioned will have any bearing on the election that is happening tomorrow. The polls show the surveys show that the Labor Party will win with another landslide majority because it seems that the people of Mozart are more interested in what's going into their pockets rather than what's happening to the country as a whole. So tell us how we have got to this situation then. It all started in 2013 and just for your listeners to understand more does a very polarized country. We have two main political parties. The labor policy and the nationalist party, known as the red and the blues, we have the Green Party and a lot of small parties, but they get very little votes in the elections. It all started in 2013 after 25 years of a national government promise to change things for the better. A lot of things were changed. But unfortunately, 2013, we started with this kind of there has been account of about a 150 scandals since labor return to governments in 2013. I mean, the first one just a few days after being elected to power, we had the chief of staff of the prime minister and one of the main ministers opening a secret bank account in Panama. Where they were where they were expected to file to receive to receive payments of some sort. That is when it started. And then it culminated with the assassination of the in 2017. During this legislature. Bringing us up to date now, Matthew, we have the situation with the current prime minister, lending his villa to rut wealthy Russian individuals and this idea of people being able to, well, in particular, wealthy Russians being able to use Malta as a way of sidestepping possibly use sanctions because it is comparatively easy dare I say it to get multi citizenship if you are very wealthy. Yes, that was one of the only economic sectors that labor governments created and these past 9 years. We started our golden golden passport scheme where wealthy wealthy people not only Russians but Chinese primarily as well would use more than to get one foot into the EU. They would buy the multi sports and with this supposed link to Malta, they should be here for an amount of time, but we all know when everyone knows, including the government, that's none of them come to mold. But they just use they just use their money to make the investments that they have to make to make the charitable donations that they have to make and that is it. And obviously more, that was criticized by other EU countries and even the European Commission about it. Even European parliaments calls this month. They called for it to stop. And it's reimposed. So at the moment, applications from Russians are in being processed finally because it took it took the government weeks to decide on this. What does this mean, therefore, for Malta's relationship within the European Union. You have to give us a list of the criticism coming from the EU. But the way it is being seen globally, the fact that it has issues with money laundering with gambling with goodness knows what, as well as this problem with the Russians, could make this very small place a very big problem for the rest of the world. Yes, that is how it's being seen. In fact, Malta has a case that is fighting in the European court of justice about this passport in where it's defending it to be fair. With the government, they changed it. They changed some of the rules. Around it. But it's still seen in across the EU, which has been as the back door for these wealthy people to get into the EU. And from all that I've seen as easy money because the money is being invested in social projects in roads infrastructure and several other projects that are being used even charitable projects. So helping NGOs and what's not. So people are looking at it as easy money as money that is coming falling out of the sky literally. But it does give us problems on a new level. Finally, Matthew, as assistant editor at the times of Malta, what is it like trying to cover your patch at the moment given the fact that you have stories that would dominate the headlines in much bigger countries? Yes. It's not easy. It's not easy, but the impression we've been getting is that none of these stories damage the government in any way. The surveys consistent surveys show that the majority is increasing is on the increase. And labor is set to win with another flight majority as it did in 2017 and in 2013 with a majority of around 39,000 votes, which for more doubts it's historic. It's quite a lot, yes. Well, I wish you wish you the best for everybody on your editorial floor. Matthew schreier, assistant editor at the times of Malta, thank you so much for joining us. On monocle 24. You're listening to the globalist a quick look at the headlines now. Ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has said Europe was a little too late to stop Russia's invasion and should have done more to sanction Moscow. Mister zelensky's comments follow an emergency summit of NATO members in Brussels. North Korea has confirmed that it has successfully launched its largest intercontinental ballistic missile. Yesterday's test marked the first time the country tested an ICBM since 2017. Yuan has banned North Korea from testing such weapons.

"Good deal on all the wheat that Russia wants to export. And Putin will have to figure out once he's sorted out what he wants to do in Ukraine. How the relationship with Beijing is going to work because under the Soviet Union that which he holds so dear, it was the big brother to China, but that relationship has completely changed now. So if Russia is a pariah and it only has China to rely upon that relationship is going to be very different to how it was under certain. Ruth, let's head to you in Istanbul. In a country which has a very, very complicated relationship with Russia and NATO. Let's look at first at the reaction that there's been to the Ukrainian request that turkey closes the Black Sea straits which are allowing Russian warships to head towards Ukraine. What's been the reaction to that? Well, as you say, turkey certainly has a complicated relationship in this situation. There's been lots of statements both from the foreign ministry from minister jaffe and also from Erdoğan himself talking about how turkey prizes its alliance with both countries and they want to continue to sort of remain, have remained neutral. And the montreux convention, which controls, as you say, the passage of ships through the Bosporus and the dardanelles straits which lead to the Black Sea is absolutely central to this. There's certainly been plenty of analysis that says that we're seeing this reflected in the statements that turkey prizes the neutrality, the exact wording of montreux above all things and that it has a sort of position as a sacred text because it gives them complete control over these straits and it regulates the passage of warships in particular. And so for example, there is pressure on turkey at the moment to potentially block the passage of Russian warships returning to the Black Sea. But the issue is that the montreux convention states that essentially warships belonging to nations around the Black Sea must always be able to pass through. And so we've seen statements this morning from the foreign minister who is basically saying that Turkish experts are looking at the wording of the montreux convention. He said, our experts are working on it and they are essentially trying to determine whether turkey considers this to be a state of war because if turkey officially recognizes this as a war, that impacts how they interpret the convention. And so we've seen that so far, Java solo, Erdoğan himself, they've been very careful with the wording of how they've spoken about Ukraine. They've called it a military operation, most of the time they haven't referred to it as a war, and it's because turkey is trying to figure out how it will react. At the same time, in trying to maintain their sort of sense of balance and neutrality, we have seen condemnation, including by Erdoğan and quite a strongly worded statement from the foreign ministry saying that this operation is a heavy blow to regional peace and stability. But also saying, we want to maintain relations with both parties. Finally, I mean, looking at the economic problems that this could lead for turkey. You're looking at a country at the moment, which has inflation at more than 48% the economy is on its knees. Russia has in turkey a very strong trading party partner. It supplies a lot of its natural gas. Wendy's sanctions start to bite, how much is there a worried that this is going to hit turkey particularly hard? I mean, I think it's probably fair to say that this could not have come at a worse time for turkey. The lira devalued by 50% last year. There were already strikes and protests over energy price hikes in turkey. And so, you know, there is already popular discontent over the exact commodities and issues that will be hit by sanctions on Russia and by the conflict in Ukraine. Turkey is a big buyer of both Russian and Ukrainian wheat. It gets 30% of its natural gas from Russia. And any potential sanctions on Russia globally, that will put more pressure on turkey to decide what it wants to do in reaction to those sanctions. We've already seen in the past that there's been criticism over turkey's dealings with Iran when Iran has been sanctioned, and so turkey will also be trying to figure out how does it react as the world turns away from Russia, economically, who is Michaels and thank you so much for joining us and before that James chambers in Hong Kong and Fiona Wilson are Tokyo bureau chief.

"Resident book lover and host of meet the writers, George and Godwin, who is, of course, at the event, good afternoon to you, Georgina. Hi, Marcus. It's lovely to talk to you. I want to take issue with your word book worm. Why? Well, you know, it sounds kind of negative, doesn't it? So I was wondering today where it came from. And there are actual insects that live in that love kind of eating the glue. But what I thought was really interesting was once I started looking at it in Indonesia, they call them book fleas in Romania. They call them library mouse in German. It's a redirect in French, it's an ink drinker and in Danish. It's a reading horse. I think I think compared to a read rat bookworm student anyway, but hey, let's talk about where you are now. So last year annual hey festival was partly held online and in person due to the pandemic, of course. So what is the situation over there? What does it look like? How has he recovered post COVID? It's bounce back so beautifully, of a pardon the dog. Did you bring your dog with you? Of course. Do you want to tell our listeners, what's happening over there? So it really has bounced back. It's absolutely brilliant. I mean, so last year, it was very, very kind of mostly online. There were very few events that happened actually in person. And so it's wonderful to see all of these people back in the room. I mean, people are masked, obviously. And I think that the rules in Wales are a little bit strict as it's been in England. But actually it's wonderful to see people there and actually to have people on the stage. Nothing can make up for that face to face experience. Now, how much can you tell us about the program of events lined up this time around? Show some wonderful things. The Oscar winner emerald fennel will be here the adventure of bear grilled broadcasters Anita Ronnie Claire balding feek lover Jane garvey also David hare who's talking about his essays and tone, lots of changes in culture and politics and he talks about all sorts of things from the photographer Lee Miller to Sarah Bernhardt to Jimmy Savile. All sorts of things very much kind of capturing the zeitgeist right now. A little bit later on today, I'm going to see Dan saladino who's exploring foods around the world that are threatened with extinction. And he looks at what this means for humanity and the future of the planet. Also Robin into the comedian writer and broadcaster is talking about one of the most popular science fit and science podcasts, the infinite monkey cage. And he talks about why science isn't just for professionals and why curiosity in the field really sparks humility. And I think possibly the biggest highlight for me is actually nothing to do with literature tomorrow night the actor Miriam margulies is switching on the town's Christmas lights and then she has an event. And of course that is really all about the community here. And the community is so strong. Not just locals and there is a wonderful local community, but also people coming in from all over the country, and indeed the world. And I think that's going to be a just like a massive street party. That sounds amazing. Tell me about how international that event is this time around obviously UK steel. It's a bit tricky to come to this country considering that you have to feel some forms and you have to book yourself a test. Do you think that has limited the number of participants from around the world? You know, I mean, there are a few people in terms of people who are actually speaking. There are a few people joining us on Zoom. So some of those are just, you know, digitally. But there are a lot of people. So for instance, the winner of the Bailey Gifford prize was here in person at the hear from the state and various others. And just looking at the members of the audience, it's clear that there are some people here from further fields who've taken that chance and book their tickets and luckily it's worked so that they've been able to be here. Now Georgina, what is their still about to take place you're looking forward to in particular? So much going on. And you know, it's really difficult when you look at a program and try and decide what it is that you're actually going to go and see. I think I'm really looking forward to Sarah hall, the author and also Elizabeth J and as I say, Miriam margulies will be wonderful. But there's also a lot of pop ups around the town. So there's a lot of food and drink, you know, you wouldn't think that Wales was a place for Mexican food, for instance, but there is a fantastic kind of mexicana pop up where you can go and get your tacos and things. And then as I say, the talent just comes alive and hey, of course, is known for its bookshops. And that, I think, is one of the key highlights for me because I'm not really working this time, not doing much on stage. So I'm going to have time to really root around in those bookshelves. Now, Marcus, I think you're aware of how much book post I guess at Monaco, probably around 15 books a week, but I'm afraid that doesn't stop me from buying more than I'm here. I hope you have got a big suitcase with you. Just finely chosen to paint a picture. What happens in the evening over there when the official programming ends for the days? They're much networking, mingling taking place, people eating tacos are the pups busy. Well, absolutely. As I said in French bookworm is drinker. Well, I think you could just put drinker in there. So there is a lot of socializing. And you know, it's just wonderful just to be able to catch up with members of the book community. And not just writers that were publishers, the PR and various other people. And of course, fellow book lovers or indeed book worms. More of course, Georgia Godwin, they're joining us from hey on why you are listening to the briefing on a monocle 24. And finally on today's program, it's time for our.

"Finally on today's program we're off to Japan now where the final preparations are being made for the wedding of princess macco and her non royal husband to be. The relationship has attracted years of media scrutiny in Japan, and much of it has been unfavorable. Well, for more on this, let's hear from monocles Tokyo bureau chief Fiona Wilson Fiona. Welcome to the program. Thanks very much. What is the latest here? What are these last minute preparations and how excited or upset are the Japanese? Well, I mean, it's been a roller coaster a few years. So much has been written about this engagement. And actually this couple of princess Marco komaro, they got engaged in 2017 if you can believe it. The engagement was halted 2018 princess Marco's father said sorry, we're putting a hold on these proceedings. And komaro left for America. And he only reappeared last month. So it's been a very bruising experience. There's been a lot of scoundrel along the way, his mother had a dispute with an ex-boyfriend, which is still unresolved financial dispute. And just the public mood really turned against this marriage. And it really has been a brutal few years for the couple. But finally, they get married tomorrow. It won't be one of these very elaborate weddings that the Japanese public is used to, these beautiful royal weddings. It will actually just be a matter of submitting papers tomorrow. So it's going to be very low key. There will be a press conference apparently afterwards later in the afternoon. But we're not going to see a very photogenic wedding will be very, very low key. How will the public react to that? Obviously, low key is probably good for the princess, but royal women are held to ruthless standards in Japan. So, in a sense, she's turning a page. Yeah, I mean, it's very difficult. So as a royal woman marrying a commoner, the rules are very straightforward. Royal woman marries a commoner, she must leave the royal family. So that's all sort of set out by tradition. So she will be leaving the royal family. She'll be moving to New York. She will become a commoner like her husband and she'll be starting her life. She's trained as an art curator. She trained in the UK actually. And she'll be asking this new life, he's starting out as a junior lawyer, a completely completely different life for princess Marco, who has brought up in the imperial palace in the middle of Tokyo. So it's going to be a big change. I think people feel quite sympathetic towards and they've had a really bruising experience, I think, with the press. But, you know, a lot of people really are not that supportive of this marriage, that there are question marks about komaro whether they're justified or not is irrelevant. This sort of feeling against him, you know, when he started out, he was this cheerful, young. You know, they'd met at university. He seemed like a very nice, you know, welcome addition to the family. And it's all gone very, very sour. So I think it's been absolutely horrific for these two. And yeah, you know, it's been widely reported that princess now has PTSD. So you can imagine how difficult it's been. So I don't know if we can honestly say there'll be massive support. There were protesters out at the weekend, complaining about the wedding and saying that he wasn't a suitable husband. So I think there will be a sigh of relief, probably when it's all over. I understand those that will have the more conservative mindset or royalists, a different relationship to the royal family in Japan than there would be here in the UK, let's say. But I wonder if this sparks a broader conversation about gender inequality in society? Yeah, I mean, it's a really good question. I think, you know, he's had very, very difficult time. Absolutely. But I think it's raising questions about, is it still appropriate for a royal woman in the royal family who marries a commoner? Should she have to leave the royal family? I mean, the royal family is shrinking as it is. Will there be enough people to carry out these engagements and princess Marcos beat a very popular public figure popular member of the royal family? She's 30 now. And so, you know, the public feel they know her rather well. So, you know, I think definitely it raises that question and the way she's being treated is, you know, in many quarters, is going down rather badly. And I think, of course, there's always this background issue about what is Japan going to do about will there be an Empress in the future? Is it going to go on forever the only a male can be emperor? And that's all up for discussion. And I think it does probably reflect the issues in the broader society. Fiona, thank you for this update. That is monocles Tokyo bureau chief Fiona Wilson, I personally am awaiting The Oprah interview that perhaps will come from the princess and her husband debate. That is it.

"Daniel thank you that is monocle producer. Emma searle now new polling from germany suggests that the center left social democrats could emerge as the largest party following next month's federal elections the data from four points to eight dramatic turnaround in fortunes for the sp and their candidate for chancellor ola scholtz. Let's get the latest now with regular monocle. Twenty four contributor quentin peel. Quinson spent a number of years in berlin as the f. correspondent in the german capital. And clinton for that reason. Very glad you're here to help us navigate the shifting sands of this incredible election campaign first of all. Are you surprised by this. Bump in the polls yes i i confess i am. I thought this was going to be a relatively predictable. Election and the end result was gained to see a christian democrat green coalition in power the christian democrats having topped the poll and the greens having come second and now suddenly. We've seen a steady slump in the christian democrats rating after angela merkel is going to be no longer the leader army national. The man who was supposed to succeed her as has had dreadful election and instead of running polling in this sort of mid to low thirties there down in the low twenties and the spd which has not been ahead. The social-democrats on the centre-left then not been ahead of the christian democrats for fifteen years. Suddenly they're the ones who are front runners. It's all incredibly close. But it's probably the most turbulent Elections in terms of polling figures. That i can remember. It's been that balint on the other hand on the streets now on the poor performance of lashes. And whether or not he's able to turn things around in the last month now it's a month ahead of the election. Gee you think at this point. Sholls has a good shot being chancellor. I think he does. I think the truth is that they're certainly two if not three people who could all end up. As chancellor in a month's time with the sawtooth movements and momentum in the polls the momentum seems at the moment to be with the social democrats and that's good for olaf scholz that candidates and almost entirely due to him as far as we can see is seen as a steady pair pans. He's had a good pandemic. Is the man who signed off on massive spending to keep the economy going and on the whole he's had a pretty good response to the floods that the terrible flats that germany saw In in recent weeks and again as the finance minister he's not been seen as the scrooge he's been seen as the man who to save the day so that's why i think he's figures are up and lashes on the other hand keeps making a bloomers in the in the floods. He was seemed to be laughing in the background. When the president was making a speech about that terrible the floods and that is really damaged him now going forward Depending on what the the final election results are. Do you see a scenario where there is some difficulty in forming a government. Yes i think said. i don't. Let's forget that was a lot of difficulty last time round. Angela merkel spent months trying to negotiate a coalition before. She finally got one together. So it's not new to say that a lot of difficulty for me government the mathematics of very difficult these days. You're likely to see six parties. All having a significant representation in the german under stag and at the same time to those parties nobody will do business with one. The alternative for jim gemini on the far right nobody wants to form a coalition with them and on the far left the lincoln. The left party the former communist party of eastern germany. Nobody wants to do a deal with them. Say you're left with only four parties trying to make coalitions and they're not natural bedfellows. You you you've got A christian democrat social democrats free democrats the liberals and the greens. All of them liked to really want to make a mark on any new coalition. And that's going to be very difficult to get everybody to be happy clinton. Thank you so much for this update that was former.

"Ago. And his name's me how conciliator and he doesn't have to knock on those doors anymore. Last years it's amazing. We don't methanol narcan on their doors anymore because we have so so many kids you can see today. How many how. Many riders are are now on the races. This is the chance to be that we had with today and pretty mush and the possibility that we got some new very good drivers are now much much bigger than it was in britain. I know we've sixty seven million people and we thrown a lot of money at ted. How have you managed to do this in. Slovenia always worked before very very very very good with the boys ended young cyclist but now today and pretty much they were burned. What an amazing man. So it's understandable. The possibly the looney household again to fall in the tour de france costs quite closely but we'll the whole slovenia based succumbing to this yellow jersey fever that that clearly seems you've got some good candidates for it. Are we do indeed. I think anybody in slovenia who isn't heading off for the holidays today. School ended yesterday. And a lot of people will be heading for the croatian coast but everybody else will be absolutely glued to the tour de france there supremely unbothered about the aura. Twenty two thousand and football here after all slovenia didn't qualify despite having the best kit in world football but porgy and rog la everywhere. Their advertising banks internet providers. You go into the to supermarket chain. You'll find a line of taddei pau gotcha sandwiches even amer The only downside of all of this i would say is you've had the predictable explosion of mammals.

Think the buying a featherweight carbon fiber bike for ten grand is a better idea than losing ten kilos and writing something on a bit more their level maybe they should cut out the teddy begetter sandwiches. I'm sure they're wonderful though delicious. Send me one guide alone. Le'veon thank you very much. Indeed for joining us on the globalist..

"Of which we learned further of the thinness of the skin. Which envelops hungary's caloric prime minister viktor orban. All bond bailed at the last minute on attending what turned out to be hungary's valley into old role with germany in munich.

Scheme after hungary's parliament occasioned justifiable outrage around europe bypassing an idiotic law forbidding any depiction of homosexuality that might be encountered by impressionable people eighteen and thereby betraying a complete lack of understanding of how this stuff works. And why yes. We all sound tracking a own. Viktor orban with mr ria. That childish sticking with the coming established themes off hungary and football. It may seem to the untrained observer like we just crank stuff out but we don't can we have some sort of doubtless cacophonous mash up of the hungarian and manian national anthems because we also learned to eastern european capital cities have perilously similar names. At least if by we we mean a party of french football finds. You should have paid more attention. In geography classes the hapless supporters secured tickets for francis recent european championship match against hungary and julie packed their accordions and pointlessly long bread and booked flights to book arrest. Well quite upon.
