The world is becoming increasingly complex and volatile.

How can we make sense of it all?

I'm Richard Engel.

And I'm Yalda Hekeem.

And we're the top international correspondents at NBC News and Sky News.

And we present Sky News's latest podcast, The World.

Each week will cut through the noise to guide you through the week's global events

and explain to you why, what happens out there

matters to you wherever you are.

Listen now to the world with Richard Engel and me Yalda Hakim, wherever you get your podcasts.
