Wednesday 9 August

Panellists Alex von Tunzelmann and Somnath Batabyal join Monocle’s Andrew Mueller to discuss Russia’s influence in Niger and whether the US should wade in – and ask if there’s a new global order on the horizon. They also debate the issue of domestic air travel, after it emerged that 72 per cent of flights at Antwerp airport last year were internal, and ponder whether social media is dead. Plus: an interview with former Syrian political prisoner Omar Alshogre. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
