Introducing: The Mishal Husain Show

0:00Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made. And I'm Caroline Hepker in London with the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast. We're up early every weekday keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world. We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going. From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now. And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy. We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets you're hearing it while it happens It's smart, calm and to the point And it fits into your morning You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7am in Dublin or 8am in Brussels, Berlin and Paris On Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts

1:02Hello, I'm Michelle Hussain, and for more than 20 years, I was at the BBC, presiding over political debates. Welcome to the BBC Prime Ministerial debate. Covering international news. The United States has completed its military withdrawal from Afghanistan. And reporting on some pretty famous people. Your Royal Highness Meghan Markle, congratulations to you both. Thank you. It was thrilling to be in the front row, to watch history unfold, even if I did have to get up at 3am most mornings. But all the time I was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than the news of the day. I wanted to talk about the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the people shaping our world.

1:52And that's what I'm doing here on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like Elon Musk. In terms of political spending, I'm going to do a lot less in the future. And why is that? I think I've done enough. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Recognising a Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want to be the British prime minister who delivers that? I'm clear and our manifesto was clear about our position on recognition. Cultural figures like succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing about that world of the super rich again. and there's a... Sorry. Well, I wondered why.

2:30I believe I'm doing it because I'm interested in the power, not the money. And Shonda Rhimes. How did you feel about Bridgerton being described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke. The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. That's so cute. This is going to be a place where every weekend you'll hear one essential conversation. But I hope that it's also going to be a place with head, heart and soul. Personal, conversational. Yeah, exactly. You might even enjoy it. So please join me.
