  • You are listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 25th March, 2025 on Monocle Radio.

  • Hello and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.

  • I'm Chris Chermac.

  • Coming up on today's program.

  • Hello.

  • I'm not a big fan of the Atlantic.

  • It's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it.

  • Trump's dismissal aside,

  • a major security breach has spilled into public view in the U.S. we'll look at the fallout from the Atlantic editor being texted the Trump administration's war plans and how European allies will respond.

  • After that,

  • we explore the threats journalists are facing during protests in Turkey with Reporters Without Borders.

  • And then even when someone has a good project, it's almost impossible to get the approvals to do it.

  • So people are frustrated.

  • The government seems not to be able to deliver.

  • We speak to author Mark Dunkelman about how the US Is reshaping government operations.

  • We'll also get some insights into Taiwan's hospitality industry and a roundup of food and drink stories with our very own host of the menu Chiara Mela.

  • All that right here on the Briefing with me, Chris Chermak.

  • It was a shocking security failure,

  • made all the more embarrassing by the fact that it included a journalist.

  • And not just any journalist, but the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine.
