Hello, I'm Katja Adler, host of the Global Story podcast from the BBC.
Each weekday we break down one big news story
with fresh perspectives from journalists around the world.
From artificial intelligence to divisive politics tearing our societies apart
from the movements of money
and markets to the human stories that touch our lives,
we bring you in depth insights from across the BBC and beyond.
Listen to the Global story wherever you get your BBC podcasts, BBC Sounds Music Radio podcasts.
It's very good to see Adam Fleming on a weekend and it's very good.
To see Paddy O'Connell.
And it's nice to think about Laura Kuenberg, who will be back very soon.
And Victoria Derbyshire is going to be popping into the newscast studio on Sunday as well.
Paddy, this.
I mean, if ever there was a time for newscast to be on every single day from Monday to Sunday,
it is this era.
I don't remember a news cycle like it.
It's volcanic.
One week ago, we did not expect another Hamas hostage release.
That's happened today.
