32 分钟You are listening to the Globalist, first broadcast on the 1st of January, 2025 on Monocle Radio.
The Globalist in association with UBS, broadcasting from Midor House in London.
This is a New Year's Day special edition of the Globalist.
I'm Chris Chermak.
Coming up, we'll be joined by Monocle's foreign affairs editor to unpack some of the stories in Geopolitics that could define the next 12 months.
While we talk so much about a fractious world and a showdown perhaps coming between the US and China next year, at least I think it was a good sign that Trump invited Xi.
And then from heavy politics to our reasons for cheer and optimism, I started.
Almost jokingly initially saying I'm going to be an optimist.
You know, I have to believe that the future will be better than now.
How do you persuade yourself that you should think that the future will be bright if you don't have evidence to go by?
We speak to an author about the bright side of the year ahead.
Also up ahead, what 2025 in luxury travel may hold in store will review the COP 29 summit as well.
All that still to come on this very special edition of the Globalist.
From London, this is the Globalist.
I'm Chris Chermak.
If 2024 was the year of elections, then 2025 will be the year of.
Living with the consequences of those elections.
And here to talk us through some of what we can expect is Monocle's.
Own foreign editor, Alexis Sauf.
Lex, happy New Year to you.
