Saturday Mornings International News Review: New US Ambassador, Cancelled Flights & Rising Storms - Global Risk This Week

This week, “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys sit down with Angela Mancini, Partner and Head of Global Risk Analysis at Control Risks, joins us to unpack three major developments reshaping the global risk landscape. First, the arrival of Dr. Anjani Sinha, the new U.S. Ambassador to Singapore. With a background in medicine and a mandate to deepen cooperation in technology, energy, and security, what does his appointment signal for the future of U.S.-Singapore relations? Next, the escalating impact of the U.S. government shutdown. Thousands of flights have been cancelled and delayed across 40 major airports, stranding travelers and disrupting global supply chains. Angela breaks down the implications for foreign travelers, business continuity, and investor confidence.  Finally, the aftermath of Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left over 200 dead in the Philippines and caused widespread damage in Vietnam. As climate-driven disasters grow more frequent and severe, Angela shares how businesses and governments must rethink resilience and risk management strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
