It has been another major week in global affairs. After 50 years, the Assad regime in Syria has fallen. This has major implications in the Middle East and beyond. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss that and then look to home. The government was hit by news that the economy had shrunk 0.1% in October. They have been talking a lot about housing and planning this week, something Charlotte and Emma largely agree on! We also discuss how poorly the news media have adjusted to reporting on stable government.
