UBS.
Banking is our craft.
You're listening to The Globalist, first broadcast on the 7th of August 2025 on Monocle Radio.
The Globalist, in association with UBS.
Hello, this is The Globalist broadcasting to you live from Midori House in London.
I'm Georgina Godwin.
On the show ahead... A tremendous number of Russian soldiers are being killed and likewise Ukraine,
a lower number, but still it's a lot of people being killed in that ridiculous war.
Trump's secondary tariffs on countries trading with Russia are meant to come into effect in a couple of days.
But will Turkey, which maintains relationships with both Kiev and Moscow, be on the list?
Spain has announced its halting plans to buy US-made F-35 fighter jets.
We'll ask why and if this reflects a broader trend away from American military hardware.
We'll have a look at what's making headlines internationally and then we'll turn to Lebanon,
where the cabinet is planning to disarm Hezbollah.
What does this mean for the fractured nation?
We'll take a deep dive into Japan's capsule toys and the exhibition that features the development of the industry over the last 60 years plus.
I'm Sheena Rossiter, a contributing editor in Canada.
And today I'll be giving an update on the wildfires burning in southern France.
And I'll be looking at a study that explains how chemical pollution is a threat that's comparable to climate change.
