The World Next Week podcast is up. Bob McMahon and I sat down to discuss the G20 meeting in Paris; next week’s Republican presidential debate at Dartmouth College; and the start of the “underwear bomber’s” trial.

The highlights:

The New York Times reports on German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s move to protect vulnerable banks while the Economist considers just how much more capital shaky financial institutions may need. The Washington Post announces the details of the debate it will host with Bloomberg TV next week, and the New York Times has a feature article discussing the unique approach of one perhaps under-reported candidate, Herman Cain. The Los Angeles Times covers jury selection in Abdulmutallab’s trial and the Atlantic’s Andrew Cohen argues that the trial should be public.
