Indonesia ablaze: Riots test Prabowo

"The Intelligence" podcast presents a fresh perspective on global events. The episode begins with a discussion on the recent protests in Indonesia, sparked by lawmakers' increased spending allowances and growing economic inequality. Sue-Lin Wong, Asia correspondent, provides insights into the underlying issues, including a slowing economy and public perception of disconnected politicians. The episode then shifts to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its potential collapse due to climate change, which could lead to severe weather changes in Europe and beyond. Oliver Morton, planetary affairs editor, explains the science behind AMOC and the possible consequences of its disruption. Finally, the podcast explores the rising popularity of facekinis in China, driven by sun protection concerns and evolving fashion trends, with Don Wineland, China business and finance editor, discussing the market and cultural factors influencing this trend.
