Glenn van Zutphen on Saturday Mornings with Neil Humphreys (9am - 12pm)

Weekends: International News Review (5 February 2022)

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys unpack a fast‑moving and deeply unsettling set of global developments — from the widening Iran conflict to political shifs inside the Trump Administration and Singapore's global bagel standing! We begin with the Iran war, which has now spilled across Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait, the UAE and the wider Gulf, with hundreds of drones targeting military and civilian sites. The conflict is no longer contained — it’s regional, persistent, and increasingly shaped by cheap, mass‑produced drones that are redefining modern warfare. Steve explains why these low‑cost weapons are so destabilising and what their proliferation means for global security. We look at the political drama in Washington: Kristi Noem’s exit from the Department of Homeland Security and the rise of Markwayne Mullin, a little‑known but fast‑ascending figure now thrust into the national spotlight. Steve explains who he is, why he matters, and what his emergence signals about the shifting dynamics inside the Trump administration. Finally, is Singapore's world bagel standing on the rise?

Saturday Mornings International News Review: Iran’s Expanding War, Tariff Shock,  Shifting Dynamics in Trump's Administration and Singapore's Bagle Craze

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Jason Dasey — international TV and radio host, long‑time friend of the show, and the original “godfather” of Saturday Mornings — to the studio for a lively, wide‑ranging conversation on the week’s biggest stories. We begin with a look at Australian politics and the economy, where shifting voter sentiment, cost‑of‑living pressures, and regional dynamics continue to shape the national conversation. We also reflect on the passing of Neil Sedaka, the legendary singer‑songwriter behind classics like Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Calendar Girl, and Laughter in the Rain. Sedaka died at age 86, leaving behind a six‑decade career that produced multiple No. 1 hits and earned him a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Sedaka was a guest on the show in February 2019.

Saturday Mornings: Politics, Pop Legends & the State of Australia: Jason Dasey Returns to Saturday Mornings

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys mark the fourth anniversary of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine with a powerful conversation that blends diplomacy, documentary filmmaking, and frontline journalism. We welcome to the studio H.E. Kateryna Zelenko, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Singapore; Megumi Lim, director of the multi‑award‑winning documentary "Night Shift," and Thomas Peter, Pulitzer Prize‑winning Reuters senior reporter and war photographer who has spent years documenting the conflict.

Following the Singapore premiere of "Night Shift at the One Voice for Ukraine" – Team Europe event on 24 February 2026, our guests reflect on the human cost of a war that continues to reshape global security and the lives of millions. Ambassador Zelenko shares Ukraine’s ongoing fight for sovereignty and the resilience of its people. Megumi Lim discusses the making of "Night Shift," a film that captures the quiet heroism of ordinary Ukrainians working through the darkness of war. Thomas Peter offers a rare, unfiltered look at life on the frontlines and the responsibility of bearing witness through photography.
