From the transcript

Welcome back to The Briefing Room, the weekly show that rolls its eyes over the airlines before opening 50 different apps from specialist blogs and little-known trade publications to find out what's really happening in the world. And what's happening is all sorts of shenanigans.

Over at the border between Thailand and Cambodia, simmering tensions keep threatening to re-orrupt into another round of fighting.

In Libya, assassins took out the son of former Botox lover and all-around desp ot Muammar Gaddafi. And in Somalia, the latest moves were undertaken in the emerging, great game between a Saudi led alliance on one hand on an Emirati and Israeli one on the other. A game that could determine the future of the entire MENA region.
