摘要
Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.
The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus.
On this edition of the Friday Focus podcast, Janice and Rudyard start the show with a discussion of three international stories that captured public attention week. First, how should the world interpret the unceremonial departure of former Chinese leader Hu Jintao from the Peoples Congress midway through the final day of proceedings? Second, what does the West owe the women and girls bravely protesting the Iranian regime? Is it finally time to abandon the stalled nuclear deal with Tehran? And, finally, what should Canadians make of the Bank of Canada’s smaller than expected rate hike this week? Was it the right move or a forced error in the fight against continuing high inflation?
This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue.
