Day: December 27, 2025

Took the family today to the @IntlSpyMuseum , as I’ve rarely had time during my previous professional engagements there to actually visit, to see the exhibits and spend a couple hours just browsing and learning.  What a fantastic place!  Huge kudos to the staff (many of whom I know).  Also-the book shop still sells my book, big props for that 😉 🙏🕵️

So much went wrong this year, our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes. But “measured by child mortality, education, nutrition or women’s rights, we humans are probably in the best decade in the past 300,000 years.”  nyti.ms/492fqfy

In the coming hours, the people of Myanmar will get their first opportunity to vote in an election since the military seized power in a coup in 2021. The poll has been delayed several times by the ruling junta and many consider that a change is unlikely. We hear about the circumstances surrounding these elections in Myanmar and from a member of the Burmese resitance in exile. Also in the programme: President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is in Canada ahead of his meeting with Donald Trump on Sunday; China’s first documented case of a tiger having quintuplets in the wild; and a tribute to Perry Bamonte, guitarist and keyboardist of The Cure who has died aged 65.
