On today's podcast:
(1) Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s ruling coalition was punished in two regional elections in eastern Germany on Sunday, with populist parties on the extreme right and left taking more than 60% of the vote in Thuringia and almost half in Saxony.
(2) President Emmanuel Macron will meet on Monday with Bernard Cazeneuve, a former Socialist Party official and ex-premier, as he heads toward naming France’s next prime minister.
(3) Inventories of key raw materials are piling up in China, evidence that economic activity remains too feeble to clear a surplus that’s crushing prices from steel to soybeans.
(4) Israel’s largest labor group is poised for a nationwide strike on Monday, the strongest push yet to force the government into a Gaza cease-fire and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
5) - Ernesto Bertarelli might be Switzerland’s wealthiest man, but a $135 million bet on a sailing race is a lot when it risks disappearing in day.
