We are live with Alexander McCurris in London. And with us today, we are very happy to have on the show. Once again, the fantastic professor Jeffrey Sachs. Mr. Sachs, how are you doing today? Great to be with you guys, as always. And amazing times. Absolutely amazing times. Yep. and we are going to get right into it.

So a quick hello to everyone that is watching us.

A big shout out to our fantastic moderators.

Alexander, Professor Sacks, we have quite a lot of news to discuss.

By the way, I have all of Professor Sacks' information in the description box down below,

and I will add it as a pinned comment as well so you can follow all of his amazing work' information in the description box down below, and I will add it as a

Vladimir Putin. There has been a meeting in Riyadh. Apparently, the meeting went well.

There have been discussions on many topics, not just the conflict in Ukraine. And I have to say, to my own incredulity, I mean, in spite of everything,
