About This Episode

Anti-French rhetoric fuels the coup in Niger as West African countries meet to discuss the crisis. Then, Saudi Arabia hosts senior officials from over 40 countries to discuss ending the war in Ukraine—without Russia at the table. Plus, China’s economy falls into deflation and the foreign minister remains missing. The Council’s Ivo Daalder dives in with Jamil Anderlini, Catherine Philp, and Peter Spiegel on World Review.
