This week's edition has a military theme. Tyler Brûlé checks in with Monocle's Asia defence correspondent Trefor Moss at the Singapore Air Show before interviewing the director general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Dr John Chipman, about its newly launched survey of the military capabilities of 169 nations. There's also an entertaining media debate with BBC World News correspondent Lyse Doucet on the changing role of the traditional news anchor and the issue of ageism in British television news broadcasting. Also in the studio are editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Rob Bound.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
