The team are back in London for this week's edition of The Monocle Weekly and welcome a champion of the Lebanese slow food movement, Kamal Mouzawak, to the studio to talk culture, politics and of course cuisine. Picking up on recent events in the aviation industry, we throw some light on air safety and speak to former pilot Donat Etienne in Brussels. We also hear from our correspondents Ivan Carvalho and Steve Bloomfield who tackle the issues of luxury watches and the African economy respectively. In culture this week Rob Bound plays us his choice track and Alain de Botton reads a sneak preview from his new book. All this, and the usual studio discussion from host Tyler Brûlé and our editor Andrew Tuck.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far-flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
