After a memorable trip to Milan the team regroup in London and are joined by Jon Boone, fresh off the plane from Afghanistan where he is correspondent for The Guardian, to hear what life is like in Kabul. We also bring you a special report from the Defence Systems & Equipment International exhibition (DSEi) in London, and our security correspondent Ben Soames gives us his views on the state of the global defence industry. Culture editor Robert Bound keeps editor in chief Tyler Brûlé and editor Andrew Tuck guessing with a wine-themed quiz in the culture section and finally they get frothy with Ben Townsend, owner of London’s new boutique coffee house, The Espresso Room.

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.
