Today, the government is considering accelerating planned increases to defence spending. The news comes after the PM dropped some heavy hints that he was ready to spend more on defence during his speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. Katya Adler and James Landale drop by to explain how America is trying to rewrite the global order… and get Europe to sign on and Joe Pike explains why spending more on defence is never politically straightforward. Plus, Joe and Adam discuss the government’s decision to scrap it’s plans to postpone elections for 30 councils after recieving “legal advice”. They also review the government’s latest proposals to crack down on online safety for children and Starmer’s response to claims that a Labour Think Tank paid a private investigator to look into journalists.

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,

  • the newsroom and the trading floor.

  • That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.

  • But even I've got questions.

  • Join me, Maren's Upset Web, every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,

  • where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,

  • strategists, and experts about how markets really work.

  • And join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

  • It's not the Winter Olympics It's the Olympic Winter Games,

  • which actually doesn't rule off the tongue as easily as a very fast slalom skier goes down the hill.

  • Right, while I was away, we got a message from newscaster Paul,

  • who says, Thanks for a great program, says Paul.

  • Well, we think Paul is referring to Olympic commentator Logan Gray, who sounds like this.
