  • You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 31st October 2024 on Monocle Radio.

  • Hello and welcome to the Briefing.

  • Coming to you live from Studio 2 here at Midori House in London, I'm Andrew Muller.

  • Coming up on today's program, North Korea launches its highest, longest missile test yet.

  • Spain counts the cost of what may be its wor ever flooding disaster.

  • Also ahead, I think in equal measures there are similarities and then there are things that I've never seen before or things that are very much a first time experience.

  • More on the US Election countdown later in the show.

  • Also, Canada to join the high speed rail revolution.

  • The connection, the links between those cities would be totally transformed by high speed rails.

  • And come on, he's worked really hard on it this week.

  • Just stay focused and we can get him in and out in five minutes.

  • I've read that out loud again, haven't I?

  • I really did work hard, Andrew.

  • Today we're looking at some of the best number one songs during the US Presidential election.

  • Fernando's global countdown last on today's briefing.

  • And in fairness, probably least, that is all coming up on the Briefing on Monocle Radio.

  • Welcome to today's edition of the Briefing with Andrew Muller.

  • It is not North Korea's first missile test and nigh, certainly not North Korea's last, but as of this broadcast, it is North Korea's highest and longest.

  • What was probably an intercontinental ballistic missile launched earlier today from a site near Pyongyang, flew for 86 minutes and reached an altitude of 7,000 km before splashing down 300 km west of Japan, according to North Korean state media.

  • Like there is any other kind.
