The world is becoming increasingly complex and volatile.

How can we make sense of it all?

I'm Richard Engelt.

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. Hello and welcome to the Sophie Ridge on Sunday podcast. As tensions

between the UK and Iran escalate, we were joined by Defence Minister

Tobias Elwood. Plus, with the Remain parties working together in the upcoming by-election in Brecon,

we spoke to the election strategist James Kanagosuriam about the impact a Remain Alliance could

have nationally. Well, as always on the podcast, we are joined by Matthew Lavender.

Hello.

And Toby Skolfo.

Good morning, Sophie.

It feels like we are poised and waiting this weekend.

Two days, in two days' time, we'll know who the next Prime Minister is.

And, I mean, it looks like the contest for Saber, doesn't it really?

Oh, who do you think it is?

I'm going to go for Jeremy Hunt.
