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.

Hello and welcome to the Sophiey Ridge on Sunday podcast,

ahead of the government spending review

and with the Prime Minister set to announce a plan

for how restrictions will change for Christmas,

we were joined this week by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak.

Thank you. We're joined as usual on the podcast by Matt Lavender.

Hello.

And Toby Scolfo.

Good morning.

Full contingent today.

Yeah.

Are relations within the team better than they were for last week's podcast? Very good. There's never been an issue between me and Sophie.
