On this programme, we preview a major fintech start up summit that kicks off in Hong Kong next Monday, bringing together more than 45,000 global leaders and a thousand speakers from the fields spanning finance and technology.
We then shift focus to Israel, where polls suggested no clear winner has emerged from the country’s election, with nearly 90 percent of ballots counted and both major political blocs falling short of the 61 seats needed to form a government. What comes next?
After the break, we look at another election over in Brazil as Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won an unprecedented fourth term, beating his right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro in a dramatic comeback. An expert will tell us what's the step forward for the re-elected president.
And finally, a Brazilian content creator known for documenting his journey of losing 120 kilograms, joins the show to tell us about his experience taking part in the Great Wall Marathon in Beijing.
