Do stay tuned to Monocle Radio throughout the day for more on those stories.

Well, finally on today's show, it is time for the Global Countdown with Fernando Augusto Pacheco, Monocle's senior correspondent.

And Fernando, we are heading to Egypt because you will literally be heading there yourself later today.

In about an hour I'm heading to the airport.

Well, I know we also have a fair amount of Egyptian music-

Yeah

... on our own Monocle playlist, so you've clear- you've clearly been on a sort of Egyptian binge listening.

Yes.

Cape Verde was among the Lusophone countries represented at our recent Quality of Life conference in Lisbon.

A very happy Tuesday to all of our listeners around the world.
