News Meeting: the UK hands the Chagos Islands back to Mauritius and the anniversary of October 7

Tortoise’s editor James Harding is joined by three journalists all vying to pitch the top story of the weekend. This week they are in the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London as part of the KITE festival. They discuss Chappell Roan’s fight against toxic celebrity culture, an end to the longstanding dispute over Britain's final African colony and one year on after Hamas attacked Israel.
