      <title>Iran talks, Apple CEO, Warsh and Starmer</title>
      <description>Uncertainty grows over a second round of Iran talks in Pakistan, as the clock ticks down on the ceasefire. Kevin Warsh, U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee for Fed chair, testifies before the Senate Banking Committee. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure over his appointment of Peter Mandelson, who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as U.S. ambassador. And after a quarter-century designing Apple’s most iconic hardware, John Ternus takes the helm as CEO.

      <title>Iran ship seized, Tesla’s tax tactics, tariff refunds and Machado</title>
      <description>Tensions flare as the U.S. seizes an Iranian cargo ship, threatening a fragile ceasefire. Elon Musk has scorned “shady” loopholes, but offshore tax tricks likely saved Tesla hundreds of millions of dollars. Companies scramble to claw back cash using the tariff refund system. And Reuters sits down with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.

      <title>Trump's Iran ultimatum, Bulgaria votes and robots race ahead  </title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump accuses Iran of a "total violation" of the ceasefire, threatens to wipe out Iran's bridges and power plants, and says his envoys will arrive in Pakistan on Monday for more talks. Bulgarians head to the polls with a pro-Russia candidate leading the race. Europe's right-wing parties, including Germany's AfD, are distancing themselves from Trump's MAGA movement as his popularity dips. And in Beijing, a humanoid robot wins a half-marathon-beating the human world record.

      <title>Hormuz gunfire, enriched uranium and chimp violence</title>
      <description>Vessels report being hit by gunfire attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran reimposed strict military controls on the vital waterway. Tehran publicly rejects Trump's claim that the U.S. would remove its enriched uranium stockpiles — putting the two sides directly at odds. And decades of observing chimpanzees in Uganda reveal what happens when a group tears itself apart.

      <title>Iran talks, Lebanon-Israel and Amazon's Globalstar deal</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump says a second round of talks with Tehran could resume this week even as CENTCOM says it’s completely halted sea trade going in and out of Iran. Israel and Lebanon sit down for the first direct talks in decades. Amazon plays satellite catchup with its $11.6 billion acquisition of Globalstar to compete with Starlink. Plus, a fifth Eric Swalwell accuser comes forward, more than 30 deportees will head to the Democratic Republic of Congo from the U.S. this week and next week the system for issuing tariff refunds to American importers launches.

      <title>Trump vs. Pope, Hormuz, House exits and Maradona</title>
      <description>The U.S. blocks the Strait of Hormuz, as a rift opens between Pope Leo and President Trump over the war. Dual resignations from Congress as Representatives Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales step down amid allegations of sexual misconduct. In Washington, Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors begin direct talks. And in Argentina a high-stakes new trial kicks off to determine who’s responsible for the 2020 death of Diego Maradona.

*This episode has been corrected to remove a line saying two members of the House face sexual assault allegations. Representative Tony Gonzales is accused of sexual misconduct, which he denies.

      <title>Orban out, Hormuz and Pope Leo</title>
      <description>After 16 years of rule, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is out after a landslide election victory for the opposition. The U.S. military says it will begin a naval blockade of all Iranian port traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. The move sends global oil prices surging past $100 a barrel. And Pope Leo arrives in Algeria to launch his four-country tour of Africa after President Donald Trump calls him “terrible.”

      <title>Hormuz blockade, Supreme Court retirements and powering AI with coal</title>

Trump says the U.S. will blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Russia and Ukraine trade accusations of Orthodox Easter ceasefire violations. How looming U.S. midterms could reshape the Supreme Court, and why Washington is turning back to coal to power the AI revolution.

      <title>Ceasefire, Hormuz and Alcatraz</title>
      <description>The U.S. and Iran receive a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire proposal that could go into effect as early as Monday, but Tehran says it won't immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Details emerge of the U.S. mission to rescue a downed airman in Iran. Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Easter Sunday mark the deadliest day of the recent hostilities between the two countries. Plus, Trump pushes to privatize the TSA and asks for funding to reopen Alcatraz.

      <title>Trump threatens Iran after US rescues airman</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been corrected to remove an incorrect reference to the date as March 5.



The United States rescues a wounded American airman from after Iran shot down his F‑15 behind enemy lines. President Trump threatens to attack Iranian power plants and bridges on Tuesday if Tehran doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte heads to the White House next week, as Trump’s anger over Iran has pushed the alliance into a crisis. Troops from Chad arrive in Haiti as part of the first U.N.-backed Gang Suppression Force. A look at why an unusual primary election in California could put a Republican in the Governor’s seat. Plus, scientists fashion a handbag out of collagen derived from T-rex fossils.

      <title>Artemis II takes off, Trump’s primetime speech and SpaceX IPO</title>
      <description>NASA’s Artemis II rocket blasts off for its historic moon mission. U.S. President Donald Trump uses a primetime address to tout gains in the Iran war but gives no timeline for its end – and threatens to bomb the country back into the "Stone Ages." We go inside the U.S. Supreme Court as a skeptical bench weighs Trump’s executive order to dismantle birthright citizenship. And Elon Musk’s SpaceX files to go public in what could be the biggest stock market listing.

      <title>Iran ‘finish line,’ US-NATO rift, birthright citizenship, White House ballroom and 401ks </title>
      <description>Editor’s note: This podcast was delayed in publishing due to technical problems with our host platform.

U.S. President Donald Trump says the end of the war in Iran could be in two to three weeks. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to NATO’s collective defense. The Supreme Court weighs a challenge to birthright citizenship. A judge orders Trump to stop his $400 million White House ballroom build. And the U.S. paves the way for private assets to be included in 401(k) retirement plans.

      <title>TSA delays, LaGuardia and Iran talks contradictions</title>
      <description>Investigators say they want to interview a LaGuardia air traffic controller who was juggling another emergency in the leadup to a deadly Air Canada jet-firetruck crash. Iran dismisses U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of talks between Washington and Tehran as "fake news."  ICE agents are deployed to more than a dozen U.S. airports to fill staffing gaps. And the polls open in Denmark to elect a new parliament in an election clouded by President Trump’s Greenland ambitions.

      <title>Trump postpones Iran energy strikes, LaGuardia and France elections</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump postpones military strikes on Iranian power plants for five days. The move pause comes after what he calls productive weekend talks between Washington and Tehran. Both pilots have died after an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck while landing at New York's LaGuardia airport.  And France's far-right National Rally suffers a setback as it fails to win control of any major city in nationwide municipal elections.

      <title>UPDATE - US Marines deploy to Middle East, Europe under pressure and BTS</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been updated to include news of the U.S. sending Marines and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East. 



Attacks on Middle Eastern energy infrastructure threaten the world economy. Europe puts on a united front, but the bloc is under pressure to help the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz. A new poll shows Americans think President Donald Trump will send troops into a ground war in Iran, and they don't support the idea. And K-pop fans descend on Seoul for the BTS comeback concert.

      <title>Cluster munitions, Larijani, Joe Kent and Trump-Takaichi</title>
      <description>* This episode has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi being on Wednesday. It is scheduled for Thursday, March 19.


Iran hits Tel Aviv with cluster warheads. It’s retaliation for the killing of Tehran’s security chief and powerbroker, Ali Larijani, whose death leaves a vacuum that will make de-escalation efforts tricky. The head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, quits over the Iran war blaming Israel’s influence. And Japan’s Sanae Takaichi will have a tightrope to walk in her meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.

      <title>Iran security chief, US Iraq embassy, Gulf attacks and Cuba</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as president

Israel says Iran's security ​chief Ali Larijani has been killed. Rockets and drones were launched at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad as Iranian-backed militias target U.S. interests in Iraq. Sources say U.S. President Donald Trump was warned that attacking Iran could trigger retaliation against Gulf allies, despite his claims that Tehran's reaction came as a surprise. Afghanistan says 400 people have been killed in a Pakistan air strike on a Kabul hospital. Plus, Cuba’s national electric grid collapses.

      <title>Hormuz security, Cuba, TSA workers and the Oscars</title>
      <description>Calls by U.S. President Donald Trump for help to reopen the Strait of Hormuz appear to fall on deaf ears. Tehran's ambassador to Saudi Arabia tells Reuters that Iran's relations with Gulf states require a "serious review." Trump says a deal with Cuba is close but hints action is possible. Airline bosses urge Congress to end the partial government shutdown. And One Battle After Another wins best picture at the Oscars.

      <title>Trump pressures allies, Iran arrests, fuel shock and F1 cancellations</title>
      <description>Iran arrests dozens of people it accuses of aiding Israeli strikes, as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to hit Kharg Island “a few more times just for fun.” As oil prices rise, Trump wants allies' warships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping snarls and drone attacks deepen a push Japan to release a record chunk of its oil reserves. India scrambles to support stranded sailors and calm protests over cooking‑gas shortages. Plus, Formula One wipes April off its calendar as conflict spreads across the Gulf.

Shipping snarls and drone attacks deepen a push Japan to release a record chunk of its oil reserves. India scrambles to support stranded sailors and calm protests over cooking‑gas shortages. Plus, Formula One wipes April off its calendar as conflict spreads across the Gulf.</p>

European leaders push back as Washington issues a sanctions waiver on Russian crude. Global conflicts increase the risks for airline pilots and airports. Kenya reports its latest arrest in a widening ant‑smuggling crackdown. Plus, we look at the standout trends expected on the Oscars red carpet.

      <title>US military crash, Trump's Iran exit plan, Cuba-US talks</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been updated to include the latest news on a federal judge blocking subpoenas issued by the U.S. Justice Department against Federal Reserve Chair ‌Jerome Powell. The update also includes the latest details on a U.S. military aircraft that crashed in western Iraq, killing six US service members. Plus, Cuba's president confirms he is in direct talks with the United States. 



Four crew members on a U.S. military aircraft that crashed in western Iraq are dead. With no obvious off-ramp, President Donald Trump’s aides vie to influence his exit plan in the war with Iran. We hear from people on the ground in Tehran. Iran’s new supreme leader vows to keep fighting and to keep the Strait of Hormuz shut. Even with a U.S. 30-day sanctions waiver on buying up Russian crude, some countries take steps to secure their own energy. And the U.S. Senate passes an affordable housing bill in a rare moment of bipartisanship.

      <title>Iran's $200 oil warning, trade probes, school strike and Lebanon</title>
      <description>Tankers burn and Iran says the world should be prepared for oil prices to soar, as major economies release barrels from their strategic reserves. Investigators think the U.S. military may have been responsible for a strike on a girls’ school on the first day of the war. Around 800,000 people in Lebanon have left their homes as the Israeli campaign against Iran-backed Hezbollah widens. Plus, a train from Pyongyang to Beijing sets off for the first time in six years.

      <title>Middle East bombardment, Iranian soccer squad and SAVE America</title>
      <description>The U.S. and Israel pound Iran with what is described as the most intense airstrikes of the war. One member of the Iranian soccer squad who chose to stay in Australia has now changed her mind – we look at how the offer of asylum for the group came about. Some Iranians flee across the border into Turkey– while others are crossing the other way back home. Plus, U.S. President Donald Trump looks to the SAVE America Act for midterm success.

      <title>Iran's new hardline supreme leader and oil price surge</title>
      <description>The late Ayatollah’s hardline son, Mojtaba Khamenei, is Iran’s new supreme leader. It’s a choice which could lead to an escalation with Washington. The Iran war drives oil prices above $100 a barrel. Gas prices soar too, after Qatar stops LNG exports. Republican voters say they stand by Trump’s war for now, but they’ve got a red line: American boots on the ground. And campaigners urge Australia to give the Iranian women’s soccer team refuge.

      <title>War powers vote, Iran ship, NATO and Anthropic</title>
      <description>The U.S. Senate votes down a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s authority over the Iran war.

The Pentagon threatens to label Anthropic a “supply chain risk” amid a widening fight over military use of AI. Plus, the U.S. wants to accelerate weapons production.

      <title>UPDATE – The Iran war: NATO, warship torpedoed and Khamenei’s son</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been updated for the latest news on the US-Israeli war with details of the U.S. sinking an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka’s coast, and NATO downing an Iranian missile headed into Turkish airspace. 



Ayatollah Ali Khamanei’s son Mojtaba has survived U.S. and Israeli strikes and is seen as a possible successor to his father. The Pentagon identifies the first U.S. soldiers killed in the Iran war. Hezbollah faces an uncertain future in Lebanon after its Shi’ite support base grows weary of being dragged into the Iran crisis. Plus, the most expensive Senate primary in history heads to a runoff in Texas.

      <title>Iran conflict widens as midterms approach</title>
      <description>The Iran conflict widens as Israel strikes Lebanon following attacks by Hezbollah, and the risk of a regional war with Iranian proxies ramps up. U.S. officials are skeptical of the likelihood of regime change in Tehran. Only one in four Americans support U.S. strikes on Iran, signalling possible trouble for the Republicans ahead of the November midterms. Plus, a safe Republican Senate seat in Texas suddenly looks fragile as primary season kicks off.

      <title>Iran’s leadership, retaliation, travel and oil disruption and Trump’s plan</title>
      <description>Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran after killing Iran's supreme leader and leaving the Islamic Republic grappling to rebuild its leadership. The U.S. and Israeli strikes, and Iranian retaliation, have sent shockwaves through sectors from shipping to air travel to oil. Inside Iran, some grieved for Khamenei while others have celebrated his death. Protests against the military action have also erupted across Pakistan and Iraq.

      <title>A historic day in Iran: Ayatollah Khamenei is dead</title>
      <description>Listen to our correspondents discuss the latest developments in Iran, including the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. With Khamenei gone, Iran faces a major power vacuum, leaving the country at a crossroads not seen since the 1979 revolution. 
The ambitious strikes by the US and Israel against their arch enemy are President Donald Trump's riskiest move yet. Our Pentagon reporter discusses how the president was briefed on a high-risk, high-reward scenario. Yes, Iran could strike back with mass casualties. But Trump also saw a chance to reshape Middle East geopolitics and secure his legacy.
Then there's the big question - how capable is Iran of fighting back?

      <title>UPDATE - Trump drops Anthropic, Cuba "friendly takeover" and Bill Clinton</title>
      <description>*This podcast has been updated for the latest news on President Donald Trump's statement that he is directing federal agencies to stop using AI company Anthropic's technology. The update also includes details of Bill Clinton's closed door hearing on his relationship with Epstein, and suggestions of a "friendly takeover" of Cuba by the U.S. administration.



Pakistan bombs Taliban targets in Afghanistan. Netflix walks away from the Warner Bros deal paving the way for a Paramount Skydance win. And U.S. Border patrol is under scrutiny after releasing a near-blind, Rohingya refugee in Buffalo who was later found dead. Plus, the latest Reuters/Ipsos
poll shows Americans on both sides of the political aisle are souring on the
economy.

      <title>Cuba boat shooting, Nvidia and Pentagon v Anthropic</title>
      <description>Cuba says it’s killed four heavily armed exiles who attacked a patrol boat from a Florida-registered speedboat. Nvidia's quarterly earnings beat Wall Street expectations again. The Pentagon is pressuring Anthropic to bend its rules over what the military can do with its AI model, Claude. And Trump’s pick for U.S. surgeon general sidesteps vaccine questions.

      <description>The U.S. Secret Service says its agents shot and killed a man in his 20s after he tried to unlawfully enter a secure perimeter at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Blizzard warnings hit New York and the Northeast with up to 18 inches of snow expected. Trump says he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland. Students in Iran stage fresh protests. Thousands march in Lyon, France after the killing of far-right activist Quentin Deranque. Plus, the USA men's Olympic ice hockey team beats Canada in overtime for Olympic gold.

      <title>Jesse Jackson, Iran, Ukraine talks, and Lunar New Year</title>
      <description>*This podcast contains an error. Barack Obama was elected in 2008, not 2018.

The U.S. and Iran are set to hold high-stakes nuclear talks in Geneva – which will also host a separate trilateral meeting on ending the war in Ukraine. New Mexico has approved a comprehensive probe ofJeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. Reported health difficulties for jailed Pakistani former Prime Minister Imran Khan could lead to political fallout. Plus, the first day of the Year of the Horse.

      <title>Canadian shooter, Bondi grilling, and Olympic helmet ban</title>
      <description>Police identify an 18-year-old as the suspect in the Canadian school shooting. A Ukrainian skeleton racer is disqualified from the Olympic Winter Games over his "helmet of remembrance". U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi came under fire on the Hill for her handling of the Epstein files.  Newly-released bodycam footage shows the moments before a Chicago woman is shot by a border patrol agent. And there’s a high turnout as Bangladeshis vote in a landmark, Gen Z-inspired election.

      <title>Canada shooting, Guthrie, Trump-Netanyahu and greenhouse gases</title>
      <description>Ten people are dead, including the assailant, after a shooting at a Canadian high school.  New developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie as authorities release images of an armed person in a ski mask tampering with her  door camera.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to press U.S. President Donald Trump over Iran at the White House. The Trump administration plans to undo the government’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. And a busy day on Capitol Hill as lawmakers grilled officials on ICE tactics and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended his 2012 lunch with Jeffrey Epstein. Plus, a stunning confession broadcast from the Winter Olympics.

      <title>Iran, Grok, Nancy Guthrie and Disney</title>
      <description>The U.S. shoots down an Iranian drone that approached its aircraft carrier. French police raid X offices in Paris and order Elon Musk to face questions. A Reuters investigation shows that Musk’s Grok produces sexualized images, even when told subjects didn’t consent. Spain and Greece weigh teen social media bans as social media companies face backlash in Europe. And Arizona police believe Savannah Guthrie’s mother has been abducted. Plus, Disney names Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO.

      <title>ICE in Italy, Ilhan Omar, TikTok and Hamas police</title>
      <description>Italians are outraged that U.S. ICE agents will be deployed to their Winter Olympics. A man attacks Congresswoman Ilhan Omar during a townhall. The administration scrambles to contain the fallout of Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting, as President Trump says he shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. And Hamas seeks a role for its police force in Gaza. Plus, TikTok settles before a social media addiction lawsuit goes to trial.

      <title>Storm Fern, ICE protests and ex-Olympian alleged drug kingpin arrested</title>
      <description>Storm Fern barrels across two‑thirds of the U.S., disrupting travel and triggering emergency alerts, while Minnesota’s “ICE OUT!” protests escalate with clergy arrests over Trump‑era immigration raids. In Kyiv, thousands lose heat in sub‑zero temperatures as US-brokered peace talks continue in Abu Dhabi. Plus, Ryan Wedding, a Canadian former Olympic snowboarder suspected of becoming a cocaine smuggling kingpin, has been arrested and brought to the U.S. to face charges.

      <title>Tariffs, troops and tanneries</title>
      <description>EU ambassadors hold an emergency meeting in Brussels after U.S. President Donald Trump threatens a new wave of tariffs on eight European allies, unless the U.S. is allowed to buy Greenland. The Pentagon places approximately 1,500 soldiers on standby for potential deployment to Minnesota, according to U.S. media reports. President Trump’s Gaza peace board charter seeks $1 billion for extended membership. Plus, a look inside Morocco's Chouara tannery, where artisans hand-dye leather using traditional methods.

      <title>Trump’s oil push, ICE shooting and Iran's protests</title>
      <description>President Donald Trump urges U.S. oil giants to pour $100 billion into Venezuela’s energy sector. Protests expected across the U.S. over fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Swiss prosecutors detain the co‑owner of a ski resort bar where a New Year’s Eve fire killed 40 people. Plus, soaring gold prices spark a gold rush for a new generation of fortune hunters in Australia.

      <title>US strikes Nigeria, 1MDB ruling and Israeli settler violence</title>
      <description>The U.S. carries out airstrikes against Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria. American companies sell rights to potential tariff refunds to hedge funds for pennies on the dollar awaiting a Supreme Court ruling. Bedouin farmers say Israeli West Bank settlers have driven them from Palestinian-owned land using molotov cocktails. Plus, food makers introduce smaller portions and high-protein offerings as weight-loss medications grow more popular.

      <title>Epstein, Coast Guard tanker chase, Aussie gun laws and US growth</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet eight time in the 1990s, according to a document in the latest file release. The Coast Guard requests backup in pursuit of a third Venezuelan-linked oil tanker. Australia's New South Wales passes tougher gun laws after the Bondi Beach shooting. And consumer spending and exports fuel U.S. economic growth in the third quarter. Plus, Thailand and Cambodia hold talks to try and restart their Trump-brokered truce.

      <title>Tanker seizure, BP's new CEO and Japan's nuclear restart</title>
      <description>The U.S. seizes a second vessel off the coast of Venezuela. Big oil’s first female CEO marks a further move away from renewables at BP. Japan prepares to restart the world's biggest nuclear power plant. And how to score FIFA’s affordable World Cup tickets. Plus, U.S.-Russia talks continue in Florida.

*This episode has been corrected to remove an incorrect line stating that discounted seats make up 10% of tickets available for fans to attend any game. The correct figure is about 1.6% as our correspondent later says.

      <title>Brown shooter dead, EU-Ukraine and NY’s new cardinal</title>
      <description>The suspect in the Brown University shooting has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage unit and linked to an MIT killing. European Union leaders will provide a $105 billion dollar loan to Ukraine -after failing to agree on an initial plan to use money from frozen Russian assets. Plus, Pope Leo XIV has replaced New York's conservative Archbishop Timothy Dolan with relatively unknown Bishop Ronald Hicks from Illinois.

      <title>EU-Russia, Epstein photos and a slightly drier holiday</title>

Trump appears in newly released Epstein photos. Plus, Americans say they’re drinking less, but new data shows the drop is only about one drink per week.

      <title>Venezuela tanker, Fed, SpaceX and World Cup Pride</title>
      <description>The U.S.has seized a sanctioned tanker off Venezuela, escalating tensions with Caracas. The Fed cuts rates but signals a pause. U.S. bombers fly over the Sea of Japan after Chinese and Russian drills near Taiwan. Elon Musk hints at possible SpaceX IPO. Plus, Pride plans for during an Egypt–Iran World Cup match spark a backlash.

*This episode has been corrected to remove a line saying an IPO above a trillion dollars would be the biggest in the world. Saudi Aramco had a $1.7 trillion listing in 2019.

      <title>The Fed cuts rates - and signals a pause</title>
      <description>The Federal Reserve delivered a quarter point cut as expected, but signaled a pause in what was widely predicted to be one of the divisive meetings of the central bank in years. The forecast for 2026 remains unclear. Plus, President Trump's focus on affordability, campaign spending limits, and a wave of cigarette-smuggler balloons from Belarus disrupts Lithuania's airspace.

      <title>Trump critic cases dropped, Novo Nordisk and Obamacare </title>
      <description>A judge has thrown out the criminal charges against ex FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trials of Novo Nordisk’s pill version of its semaglutide drug have failed to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. And Americans relying on subsidies to afford Obamacare health insurance are delaying enrolling or not signing up at all as they face massive premium hikes.

      <title>US-Ukraine, midterms, Chauncey Billups and DOGE</title>
      <description>The U.S. and Ukraine continue to hammer out the details of a peace plan after Kyiv said the initial proposal was too much of a capitulation to Moscow. We look at President Trump's frenetic 2026 midterm strategy. And Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups is due in court, accused of conspiring with the mafia to rig illicit poker games. Plus, with eight months left to go on its charter, DOGE ‘doesn’t exist’ anymore.

      <title>Shutdown, BBC and Syria’s president in DC</title>
      <description>A breakthrough in talks over the 40-day U.S. shutdown, with the Senate passing a deal aimed at ending the deadlock. The boss of the BBC and its head of news have quit following accusations of bias, including the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. Syria’s president Ahmed al-Sharaa is meeting Donald Trump for his first-ever talks in Washington, with tackling sanctions a key focus for the rebel-turned-ruler.

      <title>Super Typhoon, Myanmar shipwreck and West Bank attack</title>
      <description>Super Typhoon Fung-wong batters the Philippines with 140 mph winds, forcing nearly a million to evacuate just weeks after another storm killed more than 200. Hundreds are missing after a boat carrying 300 people from Myanmar sinks near the Thailand-Malaysia border. Israeli settlers reportedly attack Palestinians, journalists, and activists during a West Bank olive harvest, injuring a Reuters photographer and security advisor. World leaders gather in Belem, Brazil for COP30climate talks, with the original 1.5-degree warming target now out of reach. Plus the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame inducts a new class including Cyndi Lauper, Outkast and the White Stripes.

      <title>SNAP, Portland, Brazil's weapons and Japan’s bears</title>
      <description>The Supreme Court temporarily allows the Trump administration to withhold $4 billion in SNAP food aid affecting millions of Americans. Airlines cut thousands of flights during the shutdown, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warning reductions could hit 20%. Host Jonah Green discusses how Reuters exclusively reveals the U.S. government approved sniper rifle sales to BOPE, the Brazilian police unit central to Rio’s deadly raid. Plus Japan deploys military troops after more than 100 bear attacks kill a record 12 people since April.

      <title>Flight cuts, tariffs and Musk’s paycheck</title>
      <description>Airlines are scrambling and passengers panicking as the U.S. orders 10% of flights to be cut at 40 major airports. Host Kim Vinnell discusses how the cuts will be phased in over the weekend as Democrats say this is an attempt to force their hand into ending the longest shutdown in history. A government lawyer warns a tariff defeat in the Supreme Court will add more trade chaos, as the justices appear skeptical over their legality. And Tesla shareholders could vote to make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire.

      <title>SNAP cuts, nukes and Halloween</title>
      <description>Nearly 42 million Americans are about to lose their SNAP food benefits as the government shutdown enters its second month. President Donald Trump orders the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, and the order causes confusion. And King Charles strips Prince Andrew of his royal title. Plus, trick-or-treating in Washington, D.C. means politically charged Halloween decorations.

      <title>Trump-Xi, Rio bodies, Melissa and Fed</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump shaves China tariffs after an “amazing” meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Hurricane Melissa tears through the Caribbean, as the extent of its devastation begins to emerge. Brazil’s deadliest police raid leaves over 100 dead, with corpses lying on the street just days ahead of COP30. And the Dutch centrist party makes huge election gains, delivering a blow to the far-right. Plus, the Fed says not to assume another interest rate cut is on the cards for 2025.

      <title>Louvre arrests, Canada tariffs, Trump in Asia and shutdown hot dogs </title>
      <description>French police arrest two Louvre heist suspects, including one at the airport attempting to flee the country. U.S. President Donald Trump announces a 10% tariff hike on Canadaafter Ontario Premier Doug Ford aired a controversial ad featuring Ronald Reagan during the World Series. Trump has begun a five-day Asia trip with Thailand and Cambodian leaders signing a ceasefire deal, as he hopes for progress on trade talks with China. And a furloughed IRS attorney sells hot dogs from his cart named "Shysters" as the government shutdown drags on.

      <title>US warships deployed, Canada talks, World Series and love after war in Ivory Coast </title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump departs on an Asia trip, hoping for a deal with China. The U.S. escalates its military presence in the Caribbean. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's ready to resume trade talks, but Trump refuses to meet - while the Toronto Blue Jays face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. And as Ivory Coast voters head to the polls, peace activists are hoping "reconciliation marriages" can bring divided communities together.

Listen to our latest episode of On Assignment, where our reporters uncover a secret mass grave in Syria and the operation to move thousands of bodies across the desert to cover up years of atrocities.

A brazen heist of priceless jewels from Paris’ Louvre raises tricky questions about the museum’s security. And Meta researchers found that teens who report that Instagram regularly made them feel bad about their bodies saw significantly more “eating disorder adjacent content” than those who did not.

A judge blocks mass layoffs as the U.S. shutdown enters its third week. And Kyiv’s long-range drone strike strategy targeting Russian energy infrastructure appears to be paying off.

      <title>Syrian mass grave, U.S. data darkness and French pensions</title>
      <description>Bashar al-Assad's government secretly relocated a mass grave to cover up evidence of tens of thousands of killings in Syria, a Reuters investigation has found. The U.S. government shutdown has switched off the flow of economic data and that spells trouble for the countries which depend on it. And the newly-reinstated French prime minister hopes that putting pension reform on the backburner will help him live to fight another day.

      <title>National Guard, October 7, Thunberg and France crisis</title>

Last-ditch talks begin in France to try and resolve the country's political crisis. And Greta Thunberg is greeted by cheering crowds as she arrives in Greece after an aid flotilla was released by Israel.

      <title>Shutdown starts, 'fat generals', Silicon Valley at the Pentagon and Pfizer</title>
      <description>The U.S. government has shut down most of its operations setting off what could be a long standoff. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slams "fat generals" as President Donald Trump touts cities as troop "training grounds." From tech bro to battle bro – how a Silicon Valley "warlord" got the Pentagon's attention. Trump cuts a deal with Pfizer to sell cheap drugs direct to consumers. And Labubu-maker Pop Mart takes a leaf from the Disney playbook.

      <title>Shutdown looms, Trump’s Gaza deal, EA Sports and Hollywood tariffs</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponents appear to make little progress in talks aimed at heading off a government shutdown.  Trump secures Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's backing for a Gaza peace proposal. Videogame developer Electronic Arts agrees to sell to a group of private investors in a $55 billion deal. And a 100% tariff has been imposed on all films produced overseas that are then sent into the U.S.

      <title>Michigan shooting, Portland, Kyiv and Moldova’s election result</title>
      <description>In Michigan, four people are dead after a man drove into a Mormon church and then opened fire. Reuters has learned the callup of National Guard troops to Portland came as a surprise to the Pentagon. Kyiv residents and emergency services have been cleaning up in the wake of one of the most sustained attacks on the capital since the war began. And in Moldova, the pro-EU ruling party has won a clear victory in parliamentary elections, beating its Russia-supporting rival.

      <title>Kirk backlash, UK anti-migrant protest, EVs, Emmys and Life on Mars?</title>
      <description>Republicans have launched online campaigns against people mocking Charlie Kirk’s death. Over 100,000 people joined a right-wing anti-migrant protest in London. European and Chinese automakers explore electric vehicle partnerships at the Munich car show. Oracle founder Larry Ellison re-emerges with major AI infrastructure deals and a $400 billion fortune, while his son bids for Warner Bros Discovery. What to expect from the Emmys, and NASA’s rover has found minerals on Mars that may be signs of ancient life.

      <title>Charlie Kirk, UN vote, NATO-Poland, Chicago and Premier League</title>
      <description>Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, vows his movement will continue after suspect Tyler Robinson is arrested for Kirk’s fatal shooting at a campus event. The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly backs a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, drawing sharp criticism from Israel and the U.S. NATO pledges stronger defence of its eastern flank as Poland's army grows. In Chicago, an ICE officer kills a man during an arrest after he allegedly dragged an officer with his car. And the English Premier League returns with record signings.

The Israeli strike on Qatar tests the limits of the Trump-Netanyahu alliance. And some South Korean workers are decamping home from more of LG Energy Solution’s U.S. production sites.

      <title>Hyundai, Venezuela, labor data and NFL</title>
      <description>A massive immigration raid at Hyundai’s battery plant in Georgia has halted operations and sparked diplomatic tension with South Korea. The U.S. has sent stealth fighter jets to the Caribbean, raising pressure on Venezuela. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to link Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, sending shares of its maker, Kenvue, tumbling. Investors expect the Fed to start cutting rates soon after weak jobs data. And the NFL is finally back, kicking off a packed sports weekend.

      <title>Venezuela, Ukraine, Thailand and RFK Jr</title>
      <description>* This podcast has been republished to correct a technical error which removed part of Andrew Gray's answer on Europe and Ukraine

As tensions rise in the Caribbean, we look at the legal authority for the fatal U.S. military attack on a boat President Trump said was carrying illegal drugs. Twenty-six nations pledge postwar security guarantees to Ukraine and wait to hear what the U.S. will contribute. Thailand elects a new prime minister, ditching the candidate of the Shinawatra family's once-dominant ruling party. And U.S. senators pit Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against Trump on vaccine policy in a heated Senate hearing.

      <title>Trump tariffs, Abbas, Meta chatbots, UK migration and Tony Hawk </title>
      <description>A U.S. court rules most Trump-era tariffs illegal but leaves them in place for now. The U.S. blocks Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas from attending the UN General Assembly. Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission. A UK asylum hotel ruling comes amid anti-migration unrest and as national flags appear across British streets. And Tony Hawk’s legendary skateboard heads to auction - with a price tag that could hit $700,000.

      <title>Chicago, Ukraine, redistricting, Pakistan and Africa’s luxury tourism </title>
      <description>The Pentagon is working on plans to deploy the U.S. military to Chicago, the Washington Post has reported.

Ukraine marks its independence from the Soviet Union, as children in Russia take part in military-style training. A lake in Pakistan formed by a mountain mudslide threatens 'catastrophic' floods. And why a new luxury resort in Kenya’s Maasai Mara has faced objections.

      <title>Famine in Gaza, Putin's demands, Russia’s economy and Jackson Hole</title>
      <description>* Updated to include details of Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole, and the FBI raid on the home of former Trump adviser John Bolton.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell prepares for a pivotal Jackson Hole speech and Russia’s economic strain deepens.

      <title>Putin's offer, Kaepernick docuseries, Air Canada, Bolivia and screwworm</title>
      <description>An outline of Putin's peace offer to end his war in Ukraine has emerged, suggesting that Russia relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine and Kyiv cede swathes of its eastern land. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington Monday. Voters go to the polls in Bolivia with inflation top of mind and waning support for the left. The Canadian government moves to resolve Air Canada's cabin crew strike by pressing for binding arbitration. And why Texas ranchers fear the flesh-eating screwworm.

      <title> Trump-Putin, Haiti, PPI and Israeli settlements</title>

Erik Prince, an ally of President Donald Trump, says he has a 10-year deal with Haiti to fight the country's criminal gangs. U.S. producer prices
increased more than expected in July. And an Israeli far-right minister
announces a construction plan in the West Bank which his office says will

      <title>Trump's labor firing, Fed resignation, Russia-US and Witkoff in Gaza</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump fires a Labor Department official over jobs data he disputes. Fed Governor Adriana Kugler has unexpectedly resigned, giving Trump an early chance to reshape the Federal Reserve. Trump orders U.S. nuclear submarines to be repositioned after a war of words with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. And envoy Steve Witkoff visits a controversial U.S.-backed aid site in Gaza. 

This episode has been corrected to refer to Adriana Kugler as Fed Governor, not Federal Governor.

      <title>Putin unfazed, Patriots, Afghan data leak and Emmys</title>
      <description>Russia’s President Vladimir Putin intends to keep fighting in Ukraine until the West engages on his terms for peace. U.S. President Donald Trump says weapons are already being shipped to Ukraine as NATO countries in Europe work out the details of a scheme to supply Kyiv. The details of a secret British plan to bring thousands of Afghans to the UK because of a government data breach have emerged after an unprecedented court order was lifted. And who are the winners and losers in the Emmy nominations?

      <title>DOJ departures, Air India, trade war windfall and Club World Cup</title>
      <description>Large numbers of staff are leaving the DOJ department that is leading the fight in U.S. courts for President Donald Trump’s controversial policies. The fuel switch locks are now the focus of the investigation into last month's Air India Dreamliner crash, but the full investigation could take a year. Trump plans a 30 percent tariff on most imports from Mexico and the EU, as figures show how much the trade war is bringing into the U.S. economy. And Chelsea lift soccer’s Club World Cup in New Jersey, but what has the U.S. learned from the tournament ahead of hosting games at the 2026 World Cup?

      <title>Texas flooding, Trump-Musk, Netanyahu in Washington and Ukraine landmines</title>
      <description>Rescue teams are searching flood-stricken central Texas for a fourth day, looking for dozens of people still missing after catastrophic flooding.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he believes his discussions with Trump will help advance talks on a Gaza hostage release and ceasefire deal. Plus, Kyiv is quitting a treaty banning anti-personnel landmines.

      <title>Big Beautiful Bill's Senate pass, heat domes and Dalai Lama</title>

Tiny Tuvalu, threatened by rising sea levels, seeks assurance from the US that its citizens won't be barred. Plus, how the next Dalai Lama is chosen.

      <title>Canada U-turn, vote-a-rama, ICE raids and birthright</title>
      <description>Canada has scrapped its digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms in a bid to advance stalled trade negotiations with the United States. Senate Republicans pushed President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill forward in a marathon weekend session. Farmers and workers say ICE raids are leaving crops unharvested in California. And immigrants scramble for clarity after the Supreme Court's birthright ruling.

      <title>Iran crackdown, NATO promises, Mamdani and vaccines</title>
      <description>Updated to include: Iran's stance on renewing talks with the U.S., Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's public appearance, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on South Carolina's effort to defund Planned Parenthood and Israel stopping aid deliveries from entering northern Gaza.

Iran looks inward and intensifies an internal security crackdown with mass arrests, executions and military deployments. NATO’s European members promise to spend 5% on defense to appease Trump, but can they afford it? U.S. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s newly reorganized vaccine advisory panel threatens to upend vaccine policy, and possibly coverage. And Zohran Mamdani’s stunning upset in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary has excited both sides of the political aisle.

      <title>Iran’s nuclear sites, Gaza aid, Netanyahu and NYC mayoral primary</title>
      <description>Updated to include the latest announcement that the US and Iran will meet next week.



A fragile ceasefire appears to be holding between Iran and Israel as an intelligence report says the U.S. failed to destroy Iran's nuclear sites. The strikes are still being seen as a boost for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The U.S. is set to give millions of dollars to a controversial group delivering aid in Gaza. Plus, progressive Zohran Mamdani declares victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.

      <itunes:summary>Updated to include the latest announcement that the US and Iran will meet next week.



A fragile ceasefire appears to be holding between Iran and Israel as an intelligence report says the U.S. failed to destroy Iran's nuclear sites. The strikes are still being seen as a boost for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The U.S. is set to give millions of dollars to a controversial group delivering aid in Gaza. Plus, progressive Zohran Mamdani declares victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.

      <title>Israel-Iran ceasefire, escalation fears and NATO</title>
      <description>Israel says Iran has violated a ceasefire announced by U.S. President Trump and has ordered new strikes. A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken before the ceasefire shows Americans are anxious about conflict. And leaders at this week’s NATO summit hope to impress Trump with a big new defense spending goal. Plus, the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own.

      <title>The future of Iran</title>
      <description> For decades, Iran was able to project power across the Middle East using its network of proxies. That meant any strikes against it could threaten to trigger a formidable response. But Israel's recent attacks have exposed just how vulnerable Tehran is. In this special episode of Reuters World News, we look at how Iran went from monarchy to Islamic Republic - and what its future could look like.

      <title>Trump’s Iran decision, MAGA and visa vetting</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump keeps everyone guessing if he’s decided whether to join Israel’s strikes against Iran. The prospect of U.S. involvement in Iran has laid bare a divide in Trump’s MAGA base. And the administration resumes student visa appointments but will scrutinize
applications’ online presence for any hostility towards the U.S.



*Note: This episode has been corrected to remove a reference to this being the sixth day of Israel-Iran attacks. It is the seventh.

applications’ online presence for any hostility towards the U.S.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>*Note: This episode has been corrected to remove a reference to this being the sixth day of Israel-Iran attacks. It is the seventh.</p>

      <title>Air India crash, US Middle East evacuations, Islamic State and ICE raids</title>
      <description>A London-bound Air India plane with more than 200 on board has crashed in Ahmedabad. The U.S. is pulling personnel out of the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran. Middle Eastern leaders and Western allies warn that Islamic State could exploit the fall of the Assad regime to stage a comeback in Syria and Iraq. An immigration raid at a meat production plant in Omaha fuels fears among undocumented workers. And the Marines will join the National Guard on the streets of Los Angeles within two days, with the authority to detain civilians.

      <title>Curfew in LA, World Cup countdown and vaccine confidence</title>
      <description>Hundreds of U.S. Marines arrive in Los Angeles as California’s Governor Gavin Newsom warns “democracy is under assault” and a downtown curfew takes hold. With one year to go until the 2026 World Cup, we look at how the immigration crackdown may complicate travel plans for soccer fans. And experts say that RFK Jr’s firing of independent CDC advisers undermines vaccine confidence.

      <title>Trump-Musk spat, SpaceX’s Dragon and travel ban</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off government contracts to Elon Musk’s companies after he suggested the President should be impeached. Elon Musk threatens – and then rolls it back – a decommission of SpaceX’s Dragon – the only U.S. spacecraft capable of sending astronauts to the ISS. And we look at Trump’s travel ban as the administration intensifies its immigration crackdown.

* This pod has been updated to remove references to a potential telephone call between President Trump and Elon Musk. A White House official said on Friday that no phone call between the two men is planned for the day.

      <title>China’s critical minerals, metal tariffs, Dutch immigration and Spain’s ghost towns</title>
      <description>Global automakers have joined their U.S. counterparts to warn about the impact of China's restrictions on critical minerals. The U.S. tariff rate on most imported steel and aluminum has doubled, as President Donald Trump ratchets up a global trade war. Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders is gambling that his hardline immigration stance will propel him to power in a snap election. And how Madrid’s so-called "ghost towns" are being revitalized in an attempt to solve the Spanish capital’s housing crisis.

      <title>Ukraine-Russia, Colorado, Poland and tax bill</title>
      <description>Russian and Ukrainian officials are due to meet in Istanbul for a second round of direct peace talks, a day after Ukraine launched one of its most ambitious attacks of the war. Eight people have been injured after a man yelled "Free Palestine" and threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, Colorado. Nationalist opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki has narrowly won Poland's presidential election, delivering a major blow to the centrist government. The Senate returns today with one of its first priorities to tackle U.S. President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill.

administration caps a turbulent tenure. The U.S. says it will start revoking
visas for Chinese students. And the hit film ‘Sinners’ heads to the cinema-less Mississippi city where it’s set.

      <title>Student visas, Germany-Israel, King Charles in Canada</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has ordered its missions abroad to stop scheduling new appointments for student and exchange visitor visa applicants, as the State Department prepares to expand social media vetting of foreign students. Germany's foreign minister has threatened unspecified measures against Israel over its actions in Gaza. And King Charles has expressed his love for a "strong and free" Canada during a brief symbolic visit after it faced annexation threats from Trump. 

*This episode has been corrected to reflect the fact that Buckingham Palace has not disclosed what form of cancer King Charles has been diagnosed with, except to say that it is not prostate cancer.

      <title>Harvard, tax bill, DC shooting charge and Gaza</title>
      <description>The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students - forcing existing students to transfer to other schools or lose their status. A suspect has been charged with murder in the DC shooting of two Israel embassy aides, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has linked the shooting to hostility over his Gaza military offensive. And Trump’s "big, beautiful" tax bill heads to the Senate.

U.S. President Donald Trump confronts South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with false claims of white genocide. A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. government violated his court order by attempting to deport migrants to South Sudan.

Friedrich Merz has been confirmed as Germany’s new chancellor but his unprecedented failure to succeed on the first round has thrown into question the stability of his coalition.

      <title>U.S. economy shrinks, deported Cuban mother and Europe's mystery blackout</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump touts his economic policies as he marks 100 days in office. But for the first time in three years the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter. Polling shows Americans growing more skeptical of his hardline approaches on trade and immigration. We look at the case of a woman deported to Cuba while her one-year-old daughter remains in the United States. Plus, the cause of a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal is still a mystery. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: This episode was updated to include details of the GDP report.

      <title>Canada election, Yemen and Trump’s immigration crackdown</title>
      <description>Mark Carney’s Liberal party makes a comeback, winning the Canadian election but falling short of the majority he sought to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. Nearly 70 people are dead in Yemen after
a U.S. airstrike, according to Houthi-run TV, but the Pentagon has been largely silent on civilian casualties. And Trump touts his immigration crackdown as he approaches 100 days in the White House.

      <title>Canada attack and election, Trump-Zelenskiy and India-Pakistan water</title>
      <description>Canadian prosecutors have charged a man with murder for killing at least 11 people in Vancouver when an SUV was rammed into a crowd. As Canada reels from the attack, they head out to vote in the country's election. The U.S. says it might walk away from Ukraine peace efforts if it does not see progress, as Donald Trump says his Vatican meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskiy went well. Farmers in Pakistan worried over India’s withdrawal from a key water sharing treaty after last week's attack on tourists in Kashmir.

      <title>China exemptions, India-Pakistan, DOGE and "Vladimir, STOP!"</title>
      <description>Beijing has exempted some U.S. imports from its 125% tariffs. U.S. President Donald Trump says a Ukraine peace deal is 'close' as he calls on Russia's President Vladimir Putin to 'STOP'. India's army chief is in Kashmir after a deadly attack on tourists has ratcheted up tensions with Pakistan. Q1 earnings show that corporations around the world ran into a wall of
uncertainty over Trump’s shifting stance on trade. And 100 days of DOGE turns up lots of chaos and not so much efficiency.

      <title>El Salvador ruling, townhall anger, Fed and UK women</title>
      <description>Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt charges for violating a U.S. federal judge's order halting El Salvador deportations. Congressional Republicans hear from angry voters at townhalls. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says they'll wait for more data on the economy's direction before changing interest rates. And the UK’s top court rules that the term ‘woman’ refers only to biological women under equality laws.

*This episode has been corrected. The ruling that finds administration officials could be in contempt of court over deportations to El Salvador is a separate case from the Abrego Garcia deportation matter.

      <title>China’s economy, deportation, Pentagon, French prisons and millennial saint</title>
      <description>China Q1 GDP has outstripped expectations, but analysts fear momentum could shift sharply lower as U.S. tariffs hit. One of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leading advisers has been escorted from the Pentagon as part of an investigation into leaks. A judge has demanded officials provide answers under oath about the return of a man wrongly deported from the U.S. to El Salvador. Prisons in France have been targeted with arson and gun attacks. And the boy about to be proclaimed the Catholic Church's first saint of the millennial generation.

      <title>Trump's tariff 'medicine', market spasms, Netanyahu and measles</title>
      <description>Donald Trump has warned foreign governments they would have to pay "a lot of money" to lift sweeping tariffs, delivering more pain for global financial markets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he hopes Trump will ease tariffs imposed on Israel when the two meet in Washington. A second child with measles has died in Texas, in an outbreak that has resulted in nearly 500 cases and has spread across 22 states.

      <title>RFK Jr's cuts to US health</title>
      <description>Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised to streamline what he calls a bloated health bureaucracy.

On this episode of Reuters World News, health editors Michele Gershberg and Caroline Humer explain what we know about the cuts, and how the industry is reacting to moves by Trump’s health czar.

      <title>Trump vs the Universities</title>

Critics see this effort as a way for the White House to clamp down on freedom of speech, and to punish left-leaning institutions. On this weekend episode, our reporters Helen Coster and Julia Harte unpack the fight over higher education in America.

      <title>Trump's auto tariffs, Hegseth’s denial and Kursk</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump announces his latest trade war salvo – a 25% tariff on imported vehicles.

And Reuters is one of the first international news outlets to gain access to Kursk – hear from the ground as Russian troops are close to driving out the last Ukrainian forces.

      <title>Istanbul mayor, US-Russia talks and veterans</title>
      <description>A Turkish court has jailed Istanbul’s Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu – President Tayyip Erdogan’s main political rival – triggering huge protests. U.S. and Russian officials begin talks in Saudi Arabia aiming for a Black Sea deal ahead of a broad Ukraine ceasefire.

      <title>Venezuelan deportations, US Houthi strikes and North Macedonia fire</title>
      <description>The Trump administration has deported alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the U.S. despite a court order forbidding it from doing so. The United States says it will keep attacking Yemen's Houthis until they end attacks on shipping, after the biggest military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office. Government officials are among a number of people arrested after fire ripped through a packed and unlicensed nightclub in North Macedonia, killing 59 people.

      <title>Elbows up in Canada</title>
      <description>Canada's anger at Donald Trump has prompted a wave of protest, consumer backlash and a ‘Saturday Night Live’ call out from Mike Myers. It's also helped usher in political newcomer Mark Carney as the new Canadian prime minister and opened a window for Ontario's premier Doug Ford to step into the global conversation. Our editors in Ottawa and Toronto explore how this reaction to Trump is affecting everyday Canadian life and reshaping politics.

      <title>Poll on Trump's economy, shutdown and 'the menswear guy' on tariffs</title>
      <description>Many Americans think Trump’s actions on the economy are too "erratic", according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. Senate Democrats are fuming over a Trump-backed stopgap bill with less than two days to go until a partial government shutdown. And Derek Guy, also known as "the menswear guy", tells the Reuters World News podcast what Made in America means for garments.  

*This podcast includes an interview in a segment about Made in America. Jonah Green, a Reuters World News podcast producer, conducted this interview. Due to a technical problem, Reuters subsequently needed to re-tape the questions he posed. In this podcast, Tara Oakes, senior podcast producer, asks the same questions originally put to menswear writer Derek Guy.

      <title>Ukraine ceasefire, metal tariffs and Columbia student</title>
      <description>The United States has agreed to resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after Kyiv said it was ready to support Washington's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. Donald Trump's increased tariffs on steel and aluminum imports have taken effect, with Europe vowing to hit back with counter measures. A legal battle over a detained Columbia University student will play out in federal court, with the U.S. government indicating it would oppose the Palestinian activist's bid for release.

      <title>Canada, Ukraine talks and Tesla’s stock fall</title>
      <description>Mark Carney will succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister after winning the race to become leader of the ruling Liberal Party - and has vowed to fight U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. U.S. officials are preparing to meet Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with Trump expressing optimism about the talks. And we look at why investors are worried after Tesla’s stocks have fallen for seven straight weeks.

      <title>Greenland</title>
      <description>In this special episode of the Reuters World News podcast, we visit Greenland – the Arctic island that usually flies under the radar. But since U.S. President Donald Trump recently revived his desire to buy, or take, the autonomous Danish territory, Greenland is taking center stage. His interest and growing Inuit pride have led some locals to view an upcoming vote as a historic chance to free Greenland from Danish influence. We talk to Denmark Senior Correspondent Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen and White House Reporter Trevor Hunnicutt about Greenland’s strategic importance militarily and economically. Plus, as Greenlanders head to the polls, we take a look at the election that needs to thread a needle between Copenhagen and Washington DC.

Plus, as Greenlanders head to the polls, we take a look at the election that needs to thread a needle between Copenhagen and Washington DC. </p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter <a href="https://www.reuters.com/newsletters/reuters-econ-world/">here</a>. </p><p>Listen to the Reuters Econ World podcast <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.chtbl.com%2FAbxd8GDx&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGayle.Issa%40thomsonreuters.com%7C22043c115f5c46b09f9c08dcf3464d32%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C638652730474292284%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=jtNN%2BMKMQ3W6WrxdwmC7fTor0g1hgnW5mgoS%2FBJGPDE%3D&amp;reserved=0">here</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Visit the <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/privacy-statement.html">Thomson Reuters Privacy Statement</a> for information on our privacy and data protection practices. </p><p>You may also visit <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmegaphone.spotify.com%2Fabout-advertisements&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGayle.Issa%40thomsonreuters.com%7C22043c115f5c46b09f9c08dcf3464d32%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C638652730474312366%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=QZMsnaAB3i%2BvJs%2FDC9EyZbPfywT6vxtyiJ1dSFVTXTs%3D&amp;reserved=0">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a> to opt out of targeted advertising.</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Tariff whiplash, Trump’s legal cases and Romania treason plot</title>
      <description>President Trump’s fluctuating trade policy has caused market whiplash after Mexican and Canadian goods landed a month-long reprieve from the U.S. tariffs. Trump’s agenda has partially stalled in court as judges pause major policy rollouts. A SpaceX failure scatters debris over parts of the Caribbean. And in Romania, multiple arrests over an alleged Russia-backed attempt to overthrow the state.

      <title>Ukrainians in US, pickup politics, Mexico’s judicial elections and DEI</title>
      <description>The Trump administration plans to revoke the legal status of some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. during the war - and Washington hits pause on intelligence sharing with Kyiv. The White House threw the Big 3 automakers a lifeline, allowing them to dodge the tariffs for a month - the politics of pickup trucks may explain why. Cartels loom large over Mexico’s new
system of electing judges. And some U.S. retailers which have publicly scrapped DEI programs are keeping some of their efforts going behind the scenes.

      <title>Trump’s speech, Trudeau hits back and China’s economic plan </title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump touted the relentless start to his term as evidence that "America is back" in a marathon speech to Congress. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hits back against Trump’s "dumb" trade war, slapping retaliatory tariffs on American goods. And China unlocks fiscal stimulus to cushion the blow of the escalating trade war on its economy, which Beijing is determined to grow by another 5% this year.

      <title>Trade wars, Ukraine aid, Russia sanctions and Gaza alternative</title>
      <description>President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China have taken effect, launching new trade conflicts with the top three U.S. trading partners. The White House has paused military aid to Ukraine, deepening the fissure that has opened between the two countries after Friday’s aborted talks. The U.S. is drawing up a plan to potentially give Russia sanctions relief as Trump seeks to restore ties with Moscow and stop the war in Ukraine. And Arab leaders meet in Cairo to discuss a plan for Gaza that would sideline Hamas and create interim bodies run by Arab, Muslim and Western states.

      <description>President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy meet at the White House with the critical minerals deal high on the agenda.

Kennedy Junior – a vaccine
skeptic – an early test. And Apple shareholders vote to keep the tech giant’s DEI policies in place despite pressure from Trump.

      <title>Germany election, Musk’s email and Ukraine anniversary</title>
      <description>Friedrich Merz is set to be Germany’s next leader after his conservative bloc won a national election that saw far-right and far-left parties hoover up support from disaffected voters - how will he navigate relations with US President Donald Trump? Multiple U.S. agencies have told employees not to respond immediately to a demand by Elon Musk to list their accomplishments in the past week or be fired. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he is willing to give up his position if it means peace in Ukraine, as the war with Russia enters a fourth year.

      <title>Gaza body, Trump's grip, Kenya workers and quantum computing</title>
      <description>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will make Hamas pay for failing to release the body of hostage Shiri Bibas as agreed. U.S. President Donald Trump this week tightens his grip on U.S. government agencies that for years have taken pride in their independence, overseeing such matters as elections, stock markets and labor relations. Kenya aims to send 1 million workers abroad annually to countries with aging populations. And Microsoft says quantum computing is "years, not decades" away.

      <title>Trump-Zelenskiy feud, Gaza hostage bodies, Musk poll and Brazil judge</title>
      <description>Donald Trump has denounced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as a "dictator", deepening a feud between the two leaders. Hamas has handed over the bodies of the two youngest captives taken in their October 7, 2023 attack. The judge in Brazil who is overseeing the coup plot case against former president Jair Bolsonaro is accused of illegal censorship in a U.S. lawsuit. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a majority of Americans are worried that Elon Musk's efforts to reduce the federal government could hurt services.

      <title>Trump’s Ukraine message, DOGE, Milei crypto scandal and NY’s Adams</title>
      <description>Donald Trump says he might meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this month and has dismissed Ukraine's concern about being left out of talks in Saudi Arabia. A legal bid to temporary block Elon Musk's government efficiency department from directing firings of federal workers or accessing databases, has been blocked. In Argentina, President Javier Milei's role in promoting a cryptocurrency that then crashed is being investigated. And a federal judge has ordered U.S. prosecutors to appear in court this week to address why they are seeking to dismiss criminal charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

      <title>Germany's election tests a far-right firewall</title>
      <description>Germany is holding snap elections on February 23. A stagnating economy and tensions over migration have fueled the rise of a far-right party, which is polling in second place. This resurgence of political extremism was once considered impossible - but the firewalls put in place after World War Two are now being tested. On this weekend episode, our correspondents lay out the stakes in this election.

      <title>Zelenskiy-Vance meet in Munich, Musk friction, RFK Jr and Eric Adams</title>
      <description>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy meets Vice President J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference as he tries to convince the U.S. to provide a strong backing for Kyiv’s war effort. As Elon Musk expands his influence over more than a dozen U.S. federal agencies, frustration is growing among some of Donald Trump’s top aides. Robert F. Kennedy Jr has clinched the top U.S. health job despite his anti-vaccine views. And Trump’s Department
of Justice order to drop the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams triggers mass resignations.

      <title>Musk’s cuts, Trump’s trade squeeze, Powell and China space race</title>

      <title>Ceasefire ultimatum, Musk and OpenAI and US consumer watchdog</title>
      <description>U.S. President Donald Trump says Hamas should free all hostages by midday Saturday or "let hell break out." An Elon Musk-led group has made a $97.4 billion bid to buy the non-profit that controls OpenAI. And protesters gathered outside the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the watchdog’s newly installed boss told staff to stop work.

      <title>Tariffs, court battles, research limbo and agritourism</title>
      <description>Donald Trump says he will introduce new 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the U.S.  Federal judges have delivered a string of decisions blocking Trump policies over the last week, at the start of a looming showdown with the rule of law for the White House. Scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they are struggling to review papers already submitted for publication, to check for content that is now banned by the federal government after an executive order recognizing only two sexes. And how U.S. farmers are turning to tourism to combat an agricultural downturn.

      <title>Buyout block, Indian deportees, January jobs report and the Super Bowl</title>
      <description>A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s proposed buyout for federal workers after labor unions sued to stop it. U.S. jobs growth likely slowed in January on the back of the California wildfires and cold weather. And the Kansas City Chiefs aim for an unprecedented ‘three-peat’ against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl, with Trump in attendance at the New Orleans Superdome. Plus, a look at the first U.S. military flight to fly to India carrying 104 undocumented Indian immigrants.

      <title>Trump’s Gaza proposal, Mideast reaction and El Salvador’s prison offer</title>
      <description>President Donald Trump says the U.S. would take over war-ravaged Gaza and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere - a proposal rejected by many Gazans returning home and by regional power Saudi Arabia. El Salvador has offered to house in its jails "dangerous criminals" from anywhere in the world deported by the United States. Plus, a shooting at an adult education center in Sweden leaves at least 11 people dead.

      <title>China tariffs, Canada and Mexico pause, Netanyahu-Trump and DOGE v. USAID</title>
      <description>China has slapped tariffs on some U.S. imports in response to new U.S. duties on Chinese goods, raising the stakes in a showdown between the world's top two economies even as President Donald Trump offered reprieves to Mexico and Canada. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet for pivotal talks on the Middle East agenda. And the Trump administration said it would lock USAID workers out of their DC headquarters for a second day as it moves to shutter the agency completely.  Plus, an indigenous community in Brazil welcomes its first movie theatre.

      <title>Trump’s tariffs, Rubio in Panama, Grammys and a reservation’s fentanyl crisis</title>
      <description>President Donald Trump says sweeping tariffs that he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause "short term" pain for Americans, with global stock markets tumbling over concerns of a damaging trade war. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Panama to reduce what Trump says is China's influence over the canal or face action. Overdose deaths on a New Mexico reservation have increased by 306% in a year, to over six times the national average. And Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar take the big awards at the Grammys.

      <title>Crash black boxes, Trump's diversity claim, hostage swap chaos and Canadian tariff fears</title>
      <description>Investigators have recovered the black boxes after a deadly crash in Washington DC - which President Trump suggested, without evidence, was linked to diversity policies. Chaotic scenes from a tense hostage handover in Gaza signal a tricky path ahead for the phased ceasefire deal. In Canada, food growers are bracing for the impact of U.S. tariffs. And in Europe, the interest rate cuts keep coming.

      <title>Trump aid freeze, India stampede, immigration raids and Congo violence</title>
      <description>A federal judge has paused President Donald Trump's attempt to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in federal aid, minutes before it was due to take effect. At least seven people have died after a stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela festival in northern India. Trump's top homeland security official has joined officers for an immigration arrest in New York City, the latest effort to promote the president’s nationwide crackdown. And Rwandan-backed M23 rebels look to have consolidated their control over Goma in eastern Congo, after marching into the city on Monday.

      <title>DeepSeek, Trump and Hegseth’s Pentagon and USAID</title>
      <description>Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models threatens to upset the tech apple cart - and the stock market. Newly confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrives at the Pentagon with DEI initiatives in his crosshairs. And the Trump administration has benched around 60 senior career officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development. 

*Please note this description has been corrected to refer to Hegseth as Defense Secretary, not Secretary of State.

      <title>Colombia deportations, Gaza returns, Trump’s tax cuts and Auschwitz liberation anniversary</title>
      <description>The U.S. and Colombia have pulled back from the brink of a trade war after Bogota agreed to accept deported migrants, the White House says. Gaza residents have started to return north as Israel removed roadblocks after a hostage breakthrough. Ahead of a three-day policy retreat in Miami, Republicans are trying to overcome internal differences on how to pay for President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cuts. Auschwitz survivors are being joined by world leaders to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German death camp by Soviet troops.

      <title>Hamas’ grip on Gaza</title>
      <description>Hours after the ceasefire was declared, Hamas fighters were back on the streets of Gaza.

Listen to this special episode of the Reuters World News podcast with Palestinian Territories Senior Correspondent Nidal al-Mughrabi and Senior Israel Correspondent Mayaan Lubell as they discuss just how tight Hamas’ hold on Gaza is - and what that grip means for the future of the ceasefire.

      <description>A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from denying automatic birthright U.S. citizenship. The Trump team has acted with stunning speed to start firing or sidelining hundreds of government workers. The International Criminal Court chief prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants for two Taliban leaders in Afghanistan for persecution of women and girls. The Netflix musical ‘Emilia Perez’ piles up 13 Oscar nominations. And the Bank of Japan raises interest rates to their highest in 17 years.

      <title>New LA fire, Davos and DEI, Trump's immigration threats, tariffs-for-tax cuts and Syria’s police</title>
      <description>A new wildfire north of Los Angeles has exploded to 9,400 acres, forcing evacuations. The global business elite at the World Economic Forum in Davos brace for Trump’s video address and recalibrate in the face of his DEI rollbacks. Trump steps up his immigration crackdown, warning city and state officials not to interfere, while his push to use tariffs to pay for tax
cuts faces opposition in Congress. And Syria's new authorities are using Islamic teachings to train a fledgling police force, a move officers say aims to instil a sense of morality as they race to fill a security vacuum.

      <title>A new American chapter, Trump’s pardons and executive orders, and border crackdown</title>
      <description>Donald Trump’s inaugural speech promised a new golden age and mirrored his address from eight years ago describing a faltering United States. After taking office Trump pardoned 1,500 January 6 defendants and signed a raft of executive orders. And on the U.S.-Mexico border, a sweeping immigration crackdown means even migrants who showed up for their asylum appointments were turned away.

But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of making last-minute demands, possibly delaying the deal. And dozens of bodies have been pulled from a closed gold mine in South Africa where police cut off food and water supplies for months as part of a crackdown on illegal mining.

Germans to vote for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) during a broadcast with the party's leader on X. And how a backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion policies by some conservative activists has sapped corporate enthusiasm.

      <title>Hollywood scorched, UK bond pain, Lebanon’s election, and Mali’s gold fight</title>
      <description>Raging wildfires in Los Angeles have spread to the Hollywood Hills after multiple blazes killed at least five and stretched firefighting resources to the limit. Lebanon’s parliament looks set to elect its army chief, ending a two-year presidential vacuum and showing the diminished influence of Hezbollah. Canada’s gold miner Barrick threatens to freeze operations in Mali if the country does not lift restrictions on shipments. And turmoil in UK bond markets is piling
pressure on Finance Minister Rachel Reeves.

      <title>South Korea, New Orleans and ISIS, Biden's Nippon Steel block and the Golden Globes</title>
      <description>South Korea's presidential guards and military troops have prevented authorities from arresting impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. A U.S. Army veteran who killed 14 people in New Orleans had pledged allegiance to Islamic State - what do we know about the group? U.S. President Joe Biden has decided to officially block Nippon Steel's proposed purchase of U.S. Steel. And Hollywood kicks off its 2025 awards festivities on Sunday at the Golden Globes.

      <title>New Orleans, Tesla truck explosion, Gazprom and the debt ceiling</title>
      <description>A U.S. Army veteran flying an ISIS flag from his truck plowed into New Orleans' crowded French Quarter on New Year's Day, killing 15 people. President Joe Biden says investigators are looking into possible links between that attack and the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Russian gas exports via Ukraine have come to an end, but where does it leave gas giant Gazprom? And just what is the U.S. debt ceiling and how does it work?

      <title>US Treasury hack, Trump and Musk on visas and Syria's Ukraine overtures</title>
      <description>The U.S. Treasury says Chinese state-sponsored hackers stole documents in what it has described as a 'major incident', which China denies. President-elect Donald Trump has sided with Elon Musk in a public dispute over the use of the H-1B visa. Syria’s new foreign minister has told Ukraine that it hopes for strategic partnerships with Kyiv, as Russia's influence wanes and the U.S. watches developments closely.

This episode has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to JD Vance as President-elect.

      <title>Azerbaijan plane crash, Indian Ocean tsunami remembered and LA homelessness</title>
      <description>Russian air defences downed an Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people, four sources have told Reuters. South Korea has plunged deeper into political chaos after its parliament impeached acting President Han Duck-soo. We hear from a mother who lost her son in the Indian Ocean tsunami, 20 years since the disaster killed 230,000 people. And in Los Angeles, the city is taking a different approach to the issue of homelessness, moving thousands of people into hotel rooms or shelters.

This episode has been updated to remove a reference to the Photo of the Year weekend special which will be published on a later date than Saturday, December 28.

      <title>Biden’s commutations, Matt Gaetz and Christmas in Syria</title>
      <description>President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences for 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row – converting them to life in prison without parole.

      <title>Government shutdown, Putin, $10 holiday shopping and Hollywood’s pivot</title>

      <title>Pelicot verdict, government shutdown, the Fed and Iran’s oil</title>
      <description>Dominique Pelicot has been found guilty of all charges and sentenced to 20 years. The mass rape trial in France has transformed the victim, Gisele Pelicot, into a stirring symbol of courage and resilience. Donald Trump has disrupted bipartisan efforts to dodge a government shutdown, pressuring Republicans to reject a stopgap bill. The Fed’s rate cut lands as expected, but policymakers are starting to price in expectations of economic changes under the incoming administration. And Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have tightened their grip on
the country’s oil.

      <title>Syrian mass graves, Mayotte, Trump’s defamation claims and Tulsi Gabbard</title>
      <description>Syrian mass graves expose “machinery of death” under toppled Bashar al-Assad, according to a top international war crimes prosecutor. Mayotte authorities fear hunger and disease after a devastating cyclone. President-elect Donald Trump sues the Des Moines Register newspaper and its former top pollster and threatens more news outlet lawsuits. And Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to become the Director of National Intelligence might be on shaky ground as eight Republican senators are on the fence about supporting her.

      <title>Moscow assassination, Canada crisis, RFK and drone mystery</title>
      <description>Ukraine says it was behind the assassination of a top Russian general in a bomb blast in Moscow. The sudden resignation of Canada's finance minister has left Justin Trudeau’s government on the brink. An expanding coalition of health and consumer advocates is campaigning against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to the top U.S. health job. And President-elect Donald Trump has weighed into the mystery of increased drone sightings that have plagued the East Coast in the last few weeks.

      <title>UnitedHealth shooting, France in crisis, Bitcoin, Hegseth and transgender care</title>
      <description>A manhunt is underway for the gunman who shot and killed United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. As the French government collapsed, several thousand people lined up outside a Paris cafe for a chance to meet a rising star of the French far right. Bitcoin hits a new milestone over $100,000. Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Defense faces a rocky road to the
Pentagon. And the U.S. Supreme Court looks likely to leave a youth transgender care ban in place.

      <title>Hunter Biden, Syria, Panama Canal and space junk</title>
      <description>U.S. President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, having previously said he would stay out of legal proceedings against him. The Syrian government and Russia have carried out air strikes in northwestern Syria as President Bashar al-Assad vowed to crush insurgents who swept into the city of Aleppo.

      <title>Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, Gaza fears, fentanyl vs. tariffs and obesity drugs</title>
      <description>As a ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah in Lebanon takes effect, Palestinians in Gaza feel increasingly abandoned without a similar deal for a truce with Hamas. We look at how President-elect Donald Trump might use tariffs on its three top trading partners as an economic weapon in the fight against the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. And President Joe Biden has proposed expanding coverage of anti-obesity drugs - but how might that work under Trump’s choice for health secretary?

      <title>Trump’s tariffs, Lebanon ceasefire and Thanksgiving dinner price tag</title>
      <description>President-elect Donald Trump has pledged big tariffs on the United States' three largest trading partners - Canada, Mexico and China. Israel’s security cabinet is to set to approve a U.S. plan for a ceasefire with the Iran-backed Hezbollah. Inflation-weary Americans should see the cost of a classic Thanksgiving dinner gobble less of their paychecks this year, as consumers buy less of the meal's centerpiece dish, turkey.

      <title>Trump's Treasury pick, COP backlash and Australia’s teen social media ban</title>
      <description>Markets have reacted positively to President-elect Donald Trump selecting Scott Bessent as his pick for U.S. Treasury secretary. Three people have been arrested in the UAE in connection with the alleged murder of an Israeli citizen. Countries at the COP29 summit in Baku adopted a $300 billion a year global finance target to help poorer nations cope with impacts of climate change but the deal has been described as “woefully insufficient” by its intended recipients. Australia’s push to ban social media for teenagers is facing a critical week as it looks to introduce some of the toughest controls imposed by any country to date.

At a victory speech, he told supporters in Florida that "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate". Republicans have won control of the Senate but neither party appears to have an edge in the fight for control of the House.

      <title>Last election push, Democrat plan for Trump declaration and China’s tariffs tactics</title>
      <description>Kamala Harris and Donald Trump make last-minute appeals to swing state voters with opinion polls continuing to show the pair locked in a tight race. Democrats are readying a response should Donald Trump try to prematurely claim election victory, as he did in 2020. Some of the biggest Chinese-owned solar factories in Vietnam are cutting production and laying off workers, spurred on by the expansion of U.S. trade tariffs - but new plants are popping up in Laos and Indonesia.

      <title>Harris and Trump on women and healthcare, plus Native Americans and China EVs</title>
      <description>Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has warned voters that Republican Donald Trump and his allies would scale back healthcare programs if he wins the White House. In response, Trump said he never wanted to get rid of the program.  As the countdown to polling day continues, we look at why turnout is so low amongst the estimated 8 million voting-age Native Americans. And China has told its automakers to halt big investment in European countries that support extra tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles, a move likely to further divide Europe.

      <description>The U.S. economy grew solidly in the third quarter, continuing to defy forecasts of a recession and outperforming its global peers ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election. Officials in the most competitive battleground states are bracing for threats and possible violence. Plus, bringing the face of a woman buried in Poland as a ‘vampire’ 400 years ago back to life.

      <title>Puerto Rican Americans, Michigan's economy and Ukraine on North Korean troops</title>
      <description>Republican and Democratic leaders and Puerto Rican celebrities have criticized comments made by a comedian at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, as the election candidates target the swing states with a week to go. The U.S. says it will not impose new limits on Ukraine's use of American weapons, if North Korea joins Russia's war. NATO has said North Korean military units have been deployed to the Kursk region in Russia.

      <title>Trump at Madison Square Garden, Japan’s political flux, Gaza ceasefire push, Uruguay election</title>
      <description>Donald Trump has headlined a rally at New York's Madison Square Garden but there has been criticism of a series of vulgar and racist remarks by allies of the Republican candidate at the event. The make-up of Japan's future government is uncertain after voters punished Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's scandal-tainted ruling coalition in a weekend election. Egypt has proposed an initial two-day ceasefire in Gaza. Plus, Uruguay's voters take two centrist candidates through to the second round and reject pension reforms.

      <title>Campaign star power, North Carolina's vote scramble and Cuba</title>

And Cuba says it will keep schools closed and non-essential workers at home through Sunday as the island struggles to recover from the collapse of its power grid.

      <title>Legal split over Musk giveaway, US overseas voters and Georgia’s shark-owning billionaire </title>
      <description>Legal experts are divided over Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway for voters who sign his free-speech and gun-rights petition. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Israel in his latest push for an elusive ceasefire. Republicans and Democrats are reaching out to US voters abroad in the tight election race, with only a small fraction of eligible overseas voters returning a ballot. And how a shark-owning billionaire looms large over Georgia’s election, with the small European country caught between Russia and the West.

      <title>Musk’s $1 million giveaway, Nebraska’s Senate race and Cuba’s outages</title>
      <description>Pennsylvania's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, has called on law enforcement to investigate Elon Musk for his promise to give away $1 million each day until Election Day. In Nebraska, the Senate election is being watched closely with Independent candidate Dan Osborn running stronger than expected. Cuba's electrical grid collapses again, the fourth failure in 48 hours. Plus, finance chiefs gather in Washington with the election adding even more uncertainty to the global economic outlook.

      <title>Harris on Fox, Liam Payne, pagers and Zelenskiy's plan </title>
      <description>Former One Direction singer Liam Payne has been found dead after he fell from his third-floor hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires. Vice President Kamala Harris is grilled on Fox News and could sit down for an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan as she works to shore up support from male voters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy takes his ‘victory plan’ to the EU and NATO, pitching for a NATO membership invite and a boost in military support for Kyiv’s campaign against Russia. And how a deceptive battery, a plastic explosive and an elaborate cover story laid the groundwork for the Hezbollah pagers attack in Lebanon.

And how a deceptive battery, a plastic explosive and an elaborate cover story laid the groundwork for the Hezbollah pagers attack in Lebanon.  </p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter <a href="https://www.reuters.com/newsletters/reuters-econ-world/">here</a>. </p><p>Listen to the Reuters Econ World podcast <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.chtbl.com%2FAbxd8GDx&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGayle.Issa%40thomsonreuters.com%7Cae4ed3d411de46404e2b08dcc8043c2e%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C638605167737534715%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=PiiItCchWOjWcTFvsHEsFl76K%2BAZux7HSu2WXIJbzUI%3D&amp;reserved=0">here</a>.</p><p>Find the Recommended Read <a href="https://www.reuters.com/pictures/baboon-wars-homeowners-cape-town-face-wild-new-nuisance-2024-10-14/?user_email=4fde14683b0863a67def25cc7e802b719e07163cf2a4b88379f0334a71c1db54">here</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Visit the Thomson Reuters Privacy Statement for information on our privacy and data protection practices. </p><p>You may also visit megaphone.fm/adchoices to opt out of targeted advertising.</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>US-Israel military aid warning, Lebanon’s sectarian tensions, Boeing’s turmoil and Georgia early voting</title>
      <description>The U.S. tells Israel to take steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza or face potential restrictions on military aid. The mass displacement in Lebanon war has revived sectarian tensions as Christian and Sunni communities grow uneasy over hosting displaced Shi’ite neighbours. Boeing factory workers held a large rally in Seattle to demand a better wage and pension deal even as the company announced 17,000 job cuts. And in Georgia, voters turn out in record numbers as the battleground state opens early voting for the November 5th presidential election.

      <title>India-Canada row, UN in Lebanon, Pennsylvania rallies and NASA’s Jupiter mission</title>
      <description>Canada has expelled six Indian diplomats, linking them to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in a major deterioration of relations between the two countries. The UN Security Council has expressed strong concern after several peacekeeping positions in southern Lebanon came under fire amid clashes between the Israeli military and Hezbollah. With just three weeks to go until election day, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat rival Kamala Harris have been in the must-win state of Pennsylvania holding rallies. NASA has launched a spacecraft from Florida on a mission to examine whether Jupiter's moon Europa has conditions suitable to support life.

      <title>The legal fights shaping the US election</title>
      <description>In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, both sides are fighting for votes in a handful of battleground states. But another fight is going on in courtrooms around the country to determine how those votes are cast and how they're counted. Our legal correspondents Luc Cohen and Jack Queen lay out the state of this legal fight and where it goes next - whether that's a local election board or the US Supreme Court.

      <title>Nobel peace prize, Beirut strike, Milton clean-up and Tesla’s Cybercab</title>
      <description>The Nobel Peace Prize goes to Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo – a grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Israel strikes the heart of Beirut but fails to assassinate the Hezbollah figure they targeted. Hurricane Milton did not trigger the catastrophic surge of seawater feared in Florida, but the clean-up could take months. And Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils ‘Cybercab’ - the automaker’s robotaxi. Plus, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has erased Republican rival Donald Trump’s advantage in suburban America, an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polling shows.

Plus, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has erased Republican rival Donald Trump’s advantage in suburban America, an analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polling shows. </p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter <a href="https://www.reuters.com/newsletters/reuters-econ-world/">here</a>. </p><p>Listen to the Reuters Econ World podcast <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flink.chtbl.com%2FAbxd8GDx&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGayle.Issa%40thomsonreuters.com%7Cae4ed3d411de46404e2b08dcc8043c2e%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C638605167737534715%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=PiiItCchWOjWcTFvsHEsFl76K%2BAZux7HSu2WXIJbzUI%3D&amp;reserved=0">here</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Visit the Thomson Reuters Privacy Statement for information on our privacy and data protection practices. </p><p>You may also visit <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmegaphone.spotify.com%2Fabout-advertisements&amp;data=05%7C02%7CGayle.Issa%40thomsonreuters.com%7Cae4ed3d411de46404e2b08dcc8043c2e%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C638605167737549803%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2FzaFzJ97V0SNWp%2B4ATE4i4eyTRolyxJfo5As9I0kyEE%3D&amp;reserved=0">megaphone.fm/adchoices</a> to opt out of targeted advertising.</p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Milton's devastation, Pennsylvania's key boomerang county and Ukraine's forests</title>
      <description>Hurricane Milton whipped up deadly tornadoes, destroying homes and triggering flash floods and power outages in Florida. We head to Erie County – a historically must-win county in the battleground state of Pennsylvania and look at the candidates’ ground games there ahead of the U.S. election. And we talk to a Donetsk ranger about Ukraine’s devastated forests. Plus, Israel says it’s eliminated a Hezbollah member in Syria while Defense Minister Yoav Gallant threatens a hefty retaliation against Iran following Tehran’s missile attack last week.

      <title>Milton evacuations, EU-China brandy and EV spat, AI dangers and debates</title>
      <description>Floridians evacuate or hunker down ahead of Hurricane Milton. China imposes temporary anti-dumping measures on imports of European brandy, after the EU's tariffs on Chinese EVs. Hezbollah officials drop a Gaza truce condition for reaching a ceasefire in Lebanon. And a Virginia congressional candidate keen to debate has created an AI chatbot to stand in for the incumbent - as a Nobel prize winner for physics cautions of the dangers possible from the artificial intelligence he helped create.

      <title>Hurricane Milton, Mexico mayor’s murder and US election certifiers</title>
      <description>Hurricane Milton threatens a battered Florida still reeling from Helene. Israel begins ground operations in southwest Lebanon. The mayor of the capital of Mexico’s violence-plagued state of Guerrero was killed on Sunday, less than a week after he took office. And Reuters has found that nearly half of the election boards in the five largest counties in each of the seven must-win states has at least one member who has expressed pro-Trump skepticism about the electoral process.

      <title>One year since October 7, Iran’s proxy war and Kushner’s Saudi talks</title>
      <description>Israel commemorates the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage. Hezbollah rockets hit Haifa in the first direct hit to the city, while Israel continues its bombardment of Beirut’s southern suburbs. We delve inside Iran’s proxy war with Israel in the West amid a rise in alleged Iran-linked murder and kidnapping plots. And we hear about the talks between Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia's crown prince.

      <title>Freed Yazidi captive, Lebanon’s Syria crossing, early US concerns on Gaza and Houthi emails</title>
      <description>A 21-year-old Yazidi woman kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Iraq a decade ago has been freed from Gaza in a secret operation. Israeli strikes cut off Lebanon's main border crossing with Syria as intense Israeli attacks on Beirut's southern suburbs are thought to be targeting Hezbollah’s heir apparent. Reuters has reviewed email exchanges between senior U.S. administration officials in the days after the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel which show alarm that a rising death toll in Gaza could violate international law. And a Houthi email campaign indicates the group is casting their net wider and targeting Greek merchant ships in the Red Sea, despite a lack of connection to Israel.

      <title>Israel bombs Beirut, Iran's Hezbollah infiltration warning, UN head barred and Helene water shortage</title>
      <description>Israel strikes the heart of Beirut killing at least six people, according to Lebanese officials. A Reuters exclusive reveals that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei warned Hezbollah leader Syyed Hassan Nasrallah to flee Lebanon before he was killed in an Israeli strike. The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has been declared persona non grata in Israel. And North Carolina residents may be without clean running water for weeks after Hurricane Helene flooded the region and damaged water treatment systems.

      <title>Israeli bombardment, Hezbollah's future, US port strike and Austria far-right win</title>
      <description>Israel has ramped up strikes on Iran-allied groups in the Middle East after Friday's killing of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Hamas has said an Israeli strike killed its leader in Lebanon, while another Palestinian militant group said three of its leaders were killed in a strike on Beirut. Israel has also launched attacks on Houthis in Yemen. A port strike on the US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico is set to go ahead on Tuesday, signaling action that could cause delays and snarl supply chains. Plus, a snap election in Japan and the far-right's historic win in Austria.

      <title>Hezbollah targets Mossad, Russia and Houthis talk missiles in Iran, US national polls and Tuvalu’s maritime fight</title>
      <description>Hezbollah fires a rocket at the Mossad spy agency headquarters in Israel ahead of UN Security Council talks. Iran has brokered secret talks between Russia and the Houthis about Moscow potentially supplying the rebel group with missiles. We look at why national polls matter when the U.S. election hinges on voters in a handful of battleground states. And the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu will ask UN members to support its push for permanent statehood and maritime borders even as rising sea levels engulf its land.

      <title>Israel and Hezbollah, US troop deployment, Biden at UN and China stimulus</title>
      <description>Note: This podcast has been corrected. A line incorrectly referring to a predecessor instead of a successor was removed.

Israel's military says it has struck more Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, a day after it launched a wave of airstrikes. The United States is sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East as tensions escalate, but the Pentagon has declined to specify the precise number or mission of the deployed forces. Joe Biden is set to deliver his final address as US president to the UN General Assembly later. China has announced a broad range of stimulus measures to support its faltering economy. The Commerce Department has proposed prohibiting key Chinese software and hardware in connected vehicles on American roads due to national security concerns.

      <title>Israel increases Lebanon strikes, Iran's devices ban and Sri Lanka's new president</title>
      <description>The Israeli army says airstrikes on houses in Lebanon in which "Hezbollah hid weapons" are imminent, as it warned attacks on the armed group would deepen. Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps has ordered all members to stop using any type of communication devices after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its Hezbollah allies in Lebanon blew up in deadly attacks. Sri Lanka's Marxist-leaning leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake has taken office as president, promising change and to oversee a “cleaner” politics.

      <title>New wave of blasts in Lebanon, Israel’s cyber warfare unit and Fed’s big rate cut</title>
      <description>Israel bombs southern Lebanon and said it had thwarted an Iran-backed assassination plot. A second round of attacks in Lebanon saw hand-held radios used by Hezbollah detonated after similar explosions of the group’s pagers a day earlier. We look at the Israeli military’s secretive, cyber warfare group – Unit 8200. And what the U.S. Federal Reserve’s big rate cut will mean for you, and for the U.S. election.

      <title>Hezbollah pager explosions, France rape trial and Trump suspect’s disputed Ukraine links</title>
      <description>This podcast has been updated to refer to former soldier Evelyn Aschenbrenner by their preferred pronouns.

An unprecedented Hezbollah security breach has seen thousands of pagers detonate across Lebanon, killing at least nine people and wounding nearly 3,000 others. In France, a man has admitted to drugging his wife and recruiting dozens of strangers to rape her over nearly a decade, in a trial that has shocked the country. A former soldier tells Reuters the suspect in an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump was seen as a liability by some soldiers and volunteers in Ukraine, where he offered to recruit Afghans into the Ukrainian military.

      <title>Trump suspect charge, Trudeau’s troubles and Chipotle’s automation</title>
      <description>The suspect in an apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump has been charged with two gun-related crimes, a day after authorities say he was spotted in the bushes with a rifle as the former U.S. president played golf nearby. Canada's ruling Liberal party has lost a once-safe seat in a Montreal parliamentary constituency, preliminary results show, a result likely to put more pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to quit. Chipotle is testing an automated bowl-and-salad maker and an avocado-processing robot at a couple of locations in California.

      <title>Harris v Trump debate, undecided voters, Taylor Swift’s endorsement and Russia’s Iranian missiles</title>
      <description>Note: This episode has been updated to improve sound quality. 

Vice President Kamala Harris put former president Donald Trump on the defensive in a combative presidential debate. Some undecided voters remain unconvinced that Harris is the better candidate. The vice president snaps up pop megastar Taylor Swift’s endorsement. And Russia has received ballistic missiles from Iran for its war in Ukraine, leading to a round of fresh sanctions on chips and companies the U.S. says were involved in supplying Moscow with the weapons.

      <title>Debate countdown, Ukraine drone attack, Nippon’s undoing, Apple v Huawei and Germany’s borders</title>
      <description>The countdown is on as Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump make their final preps ahead of their first presidential debate. An Israeli missile attack set fire to a tent camp for displaced Palestinians killing more than 40 people. Ukraine strikes Moscow in its biggest drone attack to date. We take a look at how Nippon Steel’s bid to buy U.S. Steel unraveled. The German government announces plans to crack down on immigration and impose tighter controls at all its land borders. And Huawei takes the gloves off, unveiling a $2,800 tri-foldable phone as it seeks to eclipse Apple’s new iPhone.

      <title>Jordan’s balancing act, Google’s court date and Black voters in Georgia</title>
      <description>A gunman from Jordan killed three Israeli civilians at a border crossing in the occupied West Bank before security forces shot him dead. Google is back in a U.S. District court today, facing antitrust charges that the company tried to monopolize the online advertising market.

      <title>Georgia father's arrest, Nippon block, Kenya violence and Starlink's climbdown</title>
      <description>Georgia officials have arrested the father of the 14-year-old suspect in a school shooting that killed four, saying he knowingly allowed his son to have a gun. US President Joe Biden is close to blocking the $14.9 billion Nippon Steel deal to buy U.S. Steel, citing national security concerns. The death of Olympic marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei in Kenya has highlighted the country’s epidemic of violence against women and particularly female athletes. Elon Musk’s broadband satellite company Starlink has backtracked and agreed to comply with Brazil’s law banning his social media site X in the country.

      <title>Olympian death, Georgia shooting, Canada’s border, VW closures and ‘safe AI’</title>
      <description>Ugandan marathon runner and Paris Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei dies after being set on fire in a weekend attack. A 14-year-old Georgia high school student kills four and injures nine in campus shooting. Canada has been rejecting visa applications and turning away visitors in a border crackdown. Volkswagen’s announcement that the car maker is mulling German factory closures for the first time in its history could prove to be a risky move. And OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever’s new startup pledges to focus on safe AI and has already raised $1 billion.

      <title>Ukraine weapons, Mexico’s judges, Nvidia’s selloff and China’s African sales pitch</title>
      <description>Officials say that the US is close to an agreement to give Ukraine long-range cruise missiles that could reach deep into Russia. Constitutional reforms would make more than 7,000 Mexican judges elected officials, rather than appointed. Nvidia suffers a record $279 billion loss in market value. And China makes a tough sales pitch to African leaders.

      <title>Trump indictment, Silicon Valley’s Harris wish-list, West Bank raid and Nvidia</title>
      <description>Special Counsel Jack Smith announced a revised federal indictment against former president Donald Trump. Silicon Valley supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris’ White House bid want her to prioritize abortion rights. Israel’s military raids the West Bank in a major operation. Plus, as investors await Nvidia’s results, Intel struggles with how to compete.

* This podcast has been updated. An earlier version had an August 2023 soundbite from Special Counsel Jack Smith which incorrectly suggested he had said it in August 2024. That soundbite has been removed.

      <title>Russian attacks in Ukraine, Middle East tensions, Telegram and Oasis</title>
      <description>Russia pounds Ukraine with missiles and drones for the second day in a row. America’s top general says the near-term risk of a broader war in the Middle East has eased somewhat, but Iran still poses a significant danger. Telegram boss Pavel Durov could be held in police custody until Wednesday as French prosecutors question him as part of a probe into child pornography, drug trafficking and fraudulent transactions on the platform. And British band Oasis will reunite for a 2025 tour.

      <title>Biden’s peace push, Walz at DNC, Canada rail strike and Jackson Hole</title>
      <description>U.S. President Joe Biden has pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the urgency of sealing a deal for a truce in Gaza. Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has vowed that he and presidential running mate Kamala Harris would triumph over Republican Donald Trump in November's U.S. election. Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City have shut down their rail networks and locked out nearly 10,000 workers, after unsuccessful negotiations with a major labor union. The Jackson Hole symposium gets underway later, but attention is on the hotly anticipated speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Friday.

      <title>Obamas at the DNC, Trump’s policy focus and India cricket rights</title>
      <description>Former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama have urged Americans to back Kamala Harris in her presidential bid against Republican Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump says he would open "dozens and dozens more" U.S. power plants, ending what he called the "anti-American energy crusade." In the biggest setback so far to Disney and Reliance's plans to strike a $8.5 billion India merger, the country's antitrust body has reached an initial assessment that the deal harms competition due to their power over cricket rights.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted a "bridging proposal" to tackle disagreements blocking a ceasefire deal in Gaza, and has urged Hamas to do the same.

      <title>US arms policy in Russia, Trump and Harris' econ policy, Medicare and India protests</title>
      <description>An influential aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the West and the U.S.-led NATO alliance was directly involved in planning Ukraine's surprise attack on Russia’s Kursk region. The US has negotiated down the prices of 10 top-selling prescription drugs used by Medicare by as much as 79%, hoping to save $6 billion in the first year. It is part of Democrat attempts to ease anger about high prices ahead of November elections as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump go head-to-head over the economy. In India, doctors have called for more than a million colleagues to provide only essential services on Saturday, in a protest over the brutal rape and murder of a medic.

      <title>Russian evacuations, mpox warning, Swift security and crypto’s Democratic appeal</title>
      <description>Russia is evacuating thousands more people from its border regions after Ukraine said it was advancing deeper into the country in a lightning incursion. The World Health Organization has declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years, following an outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo. Taylor Swift will take to the stage in London on Thursday, resuming the world's biggest ever concert tour amid tightened security after a foiled attack forced the cancellation of her Vienna dates.

      <title>Japan’s PM, Ukraine-Russia, US inflation and Iran’s ceasefire demand</title>
      <description>Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida says he will step down next month, succumbing to public disaffection over political scandals and rising living costs. Ukraine has pounded Russian regions with missiles and drones as Kyiv says it is advancing deeper into Russian territory. Only a ceasefire deal in Gaza would hold Iran back from direct retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil, three senior Iranian officials have said.

Hundreds of people have been forced to flee after Greece's worst wildfire this year spread into the Athens suburbs.

      <title>Ukraine’s incursion, Khan Younis evacuation and France’s political hangover</title>
      <description>Russia has evacuated parts of a second region next to Ukraine after Kyiv sharply increased military activity near the border.

Israel has expanded evacuation orders in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, forcing tens of thousands of Palestinian residents and displaced families to leave.

      <title>Tumbling markets, Bangladesh violence, UK disorder and life after wrongful detention</title>
      <description>Stock markets have fallen as fears of a US recession send investors fleeing from risk while wagering that rate cuts will be needed to rescue growth. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding an emergency meeting with police chiefs after days of violent anti-immigration protests intensified. Jason Rezaian, a journalist who was released from Iran in 2016 after being wrongfully detained, tell us the mental and bureaucratic challenges facing the prisoners released in an exchange with Russia last week.

      <title>Coffee and politics at the 'traitors club' in a divided Cyprus </title>
      <description>The ethnically split island of Cyprus is a persistent source of tension between Greece and Turkey, which are both partners in NATO but are at odds over numerous issues. Their differences are laid bare in Nicosia, the world's last remaining divided capital city with a buffer zone controlled by the United Nations. Agreement between Turkey and Greece is seemingly a long way off, but that hasn't stopped residents from forming friendships.

      <title>Prisoner exchange, Israel retaliation fears and Olympic boxing controversy</title>
      <description>Journalist Evan Gershkovich and ex-US Marine Paul Whelan have returned to the United States, hours after being freed from Russian detention in the biggest prisoner exchange between the two countries since the Cold War. President Joe Biden says the killing of Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh is not helpful for reaching a ceasefire in Gaza. Italian boxer Angela Carini has pulled out of the Paris Olympics mid-fight after she sustained a series of crunching blows from her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, who last year failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships.

      <title>Deif death, Harris’ response to Trump, and watered-down alcohol sales</title>
      <description>Donald Trump has falsely suggested that his Democratic rival Kamala Harris had previously downplayed her Black heritage. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has moved to the top of a short list of running mates for Harris, after she confirmed her first rally with her new VP nominee will be in Philadelphia. Drinks firms face challenges as younger consumers change habits, with more people consuming alcohol at home.

      <title>Hamas assassination, UK stabbing and Trump’s Vance dilemma</title>
      <description>The Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been assassinated in Iran, the Palestinian militant group says, drawing fears of wider escalation in the region. That followed Israel’s claim it had killed Lebanon's Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Japan has raised interest rates as the Federal Reserve meets to discuss future cuts in US rates. Vice President Kamala Harris is to hold her first rally with her new vice presidential nominee on Tuesday, her campaign has confirmed. That's as some Republican donors raise concerns over Donald Trump's choice of JD Vance. And the UK in shock after mass stabbing.

      <title>Ukraine's dire shell shortage after years of miscalculations by the West</title>
      <description>Since Russia seized Crimea in 2014, policymakers in America and Europe repeatedly failed to address warnings about the sorry condition of the West’s munitions industry. The result: an inability to adequately supply Ukraine with a key weapon, and a shift of the war in Russia’s favor. Stephen Grey and John Shiffman talk through their reporting on a special episode of Reuters World News.

      <title>Trump's attempted assassination, Biden’s message and the race for the White House</title>
      <description>Donald Trump is in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention just two days after an attempt on his life.

      <title>Biden’s polling pressure, UK election countdown and Lebanese farmers’ white phosphorous worries</title>
      <description>One in three Democrats think US President Joe Biden should end his reelection bid following last week's poor debate performance against Donald Trump. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer have kicked off the last day of campaigning before polls open in the UK election. And farmers in southern Lebanon are testing soil in their fields amid fears it has been compromised by the Israeli military's use of white phosphorous in cross border clashes.

In this special edition of Reuters World News podcast, we look at how youth support has bolstered the far right – and how a shaky leftist alliance is the main force taking them on.

      <description>An Israeli strike on a Gaza school and Hamas leader’s bottom line deliver setbacks to president Joe Biden’s ceasefire proposal. The most downloaded US news app has Chinese roots and ‘writes fiction’ using AI. And the unlikely circle of advisers Kenya’s William Ruto turned to for guidance on his country’s upcoming mission to Haiti. Plus we take you to a beach in Normandy, France as veterans and world leaders gather to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings ushering in the beginning of the end of World War Two.

      <title>Immigration, Syrians in Lebanon and Starliner's third attempt</title>
      <description>Following President Joe Biden’s order stopping asylum seekers from crossing the US-Mexico border, UK immigration policy comes into focus during the first debate ahead of the July 4th election. Lebanon is home to around 1.5 million Syrian refugees and they're facing increasing hostility as they fear deportations.

      <title>Trump guilty, Biden’s Ukraine weapons shift and India heatwave</title>
      <description>Donald Trump has become the first US president to be convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election. President Joe Biden has for the first time authorized Kyiv to launch U.S.-supplied weapons at military targets inside Russia. At least 15 people have died of suspected heatstroke in India as parts of the country continue to be gripped by a debilitating heatwave.

      <title>South Africa election, Biden’s nuclear push and Latin America climate case</title>
      <description>Early projections from South Africa indicate the governing African National Congress will fall short of a majority for the first time since coming to power after the end of apartheid. Fourteen Hong Kong pro-democracy activists have been found guilty in a landmark subversion trial that critics say could deal another blow to the city's rule of law. The White House is looking at ways to support the development of new US nuclear power plants in a bid to meet climate targets. Latin America's human rights court has held a final hearing in a case looking at what countries must do to combat climate change.

      <title>Debt - Paul Krugman joins our new economics podcast  </title>
      <description>US government debt isn't a crisis to Paul Krugman. The Nobel laureate has long argued that history and arithmetic suggest a crisis is unlikely. But does that hold true in other countries around the world? Can they live with the levels of debt that have become the norm, or is there a nasty shock or full-blown crisis in the offing? Krugman joins host Carmel Crimmins to talk global debt, spending and the politics driving decision-making. Plus, we take a ride on a Berlin commuter train for a real world look at the downside of balancing the books.

      <title>Rafah camp strike, Papua New Guinea landslide and elephant greetings</title>
      <description>An Israeli airstrike has triggered a fire that has killed 45 people in a tent camp in the Gazan city of Rafah, prompting an outcry from global leaders. Thousands of residents have been ordered to evacuate from the path of a still-active landslide in Papua New Guinea, after parts of a mountain collapsed with more than 2,000 people buried. A study of African savannah elephants shows how their greetings to each other can be as complex as humans. Also, closing arguments are due to take place in Donald Trump's criminal trial.

And Argentinian president Javier Milei’s spending cuts take a toll.
*This episode was corrected. An incorrect reference to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas was removed. The shooting happened in an elementary school not a high school.

      <title>Gazans’ shattered IVF dreams, a Nazi slogan and coral reef stress</title>
      <description>An Israeli strike on a Gaza IVF clinic destroyed 4,000 frozen embryos along with the dreams of Gazan families. A far-right German politician is on trial, accused of using a banned Nazi slogan. And global warming means the world’s coral reefs are under massive stress from bleaching.

      <title>Middle East on high alert, independent voters and US rate cut timing</title>
      <description>The Middle East is on high alert for a possible Iranian attack. Who are the independent voters at the heart of the US presidential race and what do they want? Stubborn inflation is delaying a potential cut to US interest rates and making it a campaign issue ahead of the November election. Plus, Germany’s dearth of soldiers is putting conscription back on the political agenda.

      <title>Biden on Gaza ‘mistake’, Sudan’s Iran drones, US bullet train and landmark climate ruling</title>
      <description>Joe Biden says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach to the war in Gaza is a "mistake" as Eid al-Fitr celebrations begin. A year into Sudan's civil war, Iranian-made armed drones have helped the army turn the tide of the conflict, a senior army source has told Reuters. How a plan to build the first high-speed rail in the U. S. using Japanese bullet trains is on the agenda and what is the global impact of a landmark climate ruling in Europe?

      <description>US President Joe Biden delivers an ultimatum to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Israel prepares for a possible retaliation from Iran. The March US jobs report is likely to show further gains, but some sectors are not benefiting from the strong hiring trend. And a seasoned eclipse chaser readies for a rare phenomenon.

      <title>World Central Kitchen’s Israel accusation, Democrats’ Florida opportunity and bird flu in cows</title>
      <description>Celebrity chef and World Central Kitchen’s founder, Jose Andres, says Israel deliberately targeted an aid convoy killing seven of his workers, in an interview with Reuters. Democrats see room for maneuver in Florida after the state’s top court approved a six-week abortion ban and cleared the way for abortion rights to be on the ballot in the November election. And this year’s strain of Avian flu is spreading across dairy cattle herds in the US.

      <title>Taiwan quake, Israel-DC balancing act, Ukraine’s drones and reindeer herders’ power struggle</title>

The Israeli strike on aid workers in Gaza and the suspected Israeli strike on Iran’s embassy in Syria further complicates the relationship between Washington DC and Israel. Ukraine’s attacks on oil refineries deep inside Russia demonstrate Kyiv’s growing drone capabilities. And indigenous reindeer herders say they are threatened by Norway’s drive to become greener.

      <title>The military exemption dividing Israel </title>
      <description>On this weekend episode we delve into the tensions over a bill to extend ultra-Orthodox Jews’ exemption from compulsory military service in Israel. As the deadline for a new conscription law looms, we explore the potential impact on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, the growing divide among Israelis, and the frustration of soldiers returning from Gaza. Join hosts Kim Vinnell and Maayan Lubell as they unpack the historical roots of this exemption, the economic strains on reservists, and the deepening rift between soldiers and politicians.

      <description>Palestinians in Gaza begin the holy month of Ramadan with no sign of a ceasefire. Britain’s Princess Kate apologises for "any confusion" caused by an edited photograph issued by her office on Mother’s Day. A referendum in Ireland fails to remove language in the constitution described by the government as sexist. And Georgia readies for its presidential primaries with Black voters less enthusiastic about President Biden than they were in 2020.

      <title>UN on Hamas rape charges, Super Tuesday and Haiti’s gangs</title>

In Haiti a state of emergency has been declared as criminal gangs try to topple the prime minister. And the mystery of a stolen Ferrari is solved ... 30 years later.

      <title>Moon landing, Nvidia frenzy, ‘The Trump whisperer’ at NATO and Alabama embryo ruling</title>
      <description>The United States has achieved its first moon landing in half a century with a private spacecraft. AI mania has added a whopping $277 billion to Nvidia’s market value. Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, known as ‘The Trump whisperer’ for his skill in handling the then US president at a NATO summit in 2018, is in pole position to be the next head of the alliance. And in the wake of Alabama’s embryo ruling, a woman in that state tells us she wants to move her three frozen embryos out of the country.

      <title>Ukraine’s Starlink claims, Israel-Lebanon truce proposal, super sneakers and driverless cars</title>
      <description>Ukraine has said Russian forces are buying Starlink terminals in “Arab countries” for use on the battlefield. France has called for Hezbollah to withdraw 6 miles from the border with Israel as part of a proposal to end hostilities at the Lebanon-Israel frontier. Kelvin Kiptum was targeting marathon history before his death. But the shoe technology now driving the sport means someone else will break the two-hour barrier. Plus, San Francisco’s Waymo arson attack sparks fresh debate over self-driving cars.

*This podcast was updated after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced he was dropping out of the Republican presidential primary. A reference to DeSantis being in the race has been removed.

      <title>US Houthi strikes, Iran’s tanker seizure, Britain’s Post Office and the Emmys</title>
      <description>The US and Britain have launched strikes from the air and sea against Houthi military targets in Yemen. Iran says it has seized a tanker in retaliation for the confiscation last year of the same vessel by the US. A TV drama exposes one of Britain's biggest miscarriages of justice – at the Post Office. The Emmys are back – the same night as the Iowa caucuses. Plus, all the gadgets at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Listen to our special episode on Taiwan's elections here.
*This episode was updated. A headline about Donald Trump tangling with the judge in his civil fraud trial was removed due to it incorrectly referring to New York Attorney General Letitia James as the US attorney general.

      <title>Counting the dead in Gaza, Mexican drug labs and urban farming </title>
      <description>In Gaza, morgue volunteers are trying to keep an accurate tally of the dead – despite a lack of food and water to keep them going. Why Mexico’s data on cracking down on drug labs might not be as impressive as it seems. Hamas’ leader comes to Egypt for ceasefire talks. Plus, the urban farm school trying to breathe fresh air into students’ ambitions.

      <title>Israel undeterred, Argentina’s shock and fast fashion goes upmarket</title>
      <description>Israel looks increasingly isolated as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to keep up the war against Hamas – and polls show most Israelis back him.

The rise in popularity of weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound has some employers adding new rules and restrictions to accessing these drugs. And how some of the big names in fast fashion are making money by going upmarket.

      <title> Zelenskiy’s double whammy, US election prep and breakdancing at the Olympics </title>
      <description>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is on a last-ditch lobbying trip to Washington this week. With talks on US aid for the war stalled in Congress, he’s meeting with lawmakers and President Joe Biden. But Zelenskiy is also facing a funding battle in Europe. Groups across the U.S. political spectrum prepare for threats to the democratic process in 2024. As breakdancing makes its Olympics debut, Adidas seeks to capitalise on a new generation of sports. Plus, the latest from Gaza and a bid for Macy’s.

      <title>The Crown, the cabinet and the UK's legacy of slavery </title>
      <description>At the start of the 19th century, a British politician named George Smith grew rich from slavery. Two centuries later, one of his descendants is Britain's newly anointed king. Another holds the keys to the nation’s Treasury and would oversee any future reparations. In this special podcast we look at how these links were investigated, we visit Jamaica to the site of a former plantation and speak to experts about why calls for a formal apology and reparations over slavery continue.
Hear our previous podcast about America's slavery legacy in which we follow two Reuters journalists on their personal journeys to confront family connections with slavery. Plus, the investigation into more than 100 lawmakers with slaveholding ancestors.

      <title>What Israel faces in Hamas’ tunnels</title>
      <description>This special episode is an extended interview with correspondent Jonathan Saul and host Kim Vinnell. Together, they explore Hamas' tunnel network under Gaza. Hundreds of miles long and up to 80 yards deep, it's described as the "Viet Cong times 10" by one Israeli security source. Jonathan reports on what we know so far about Israel's strategy to combat Hamas in the network one freed hostage has described as a spider's web.

      <title>Biden's Israel stand. Plus, the blame game and fury over hospital blast</title>
      <description>Joe Biden, in Israel, pledged solidarity in its war against Hamas and said that a blast that killed huge numbers of Palestinians appeared to have been caused not by Israel but by its foes. The president's rare war time trip was supposed to be a diplomatic mission in the region to stop the war widening, but the hospital blast just hours before he arrived -- and an ensuing blame game -- had Arab leaders pull out.
*The podcast incorrectly referred to Benjamin Netanyahu as the president of Israel. It was updated to reflect that he is the prime minister.

      <description>We're at the Rafah border crossing as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says it will re-open to let foreign passport holders out of Gaza, and much needed aid to flow in. But Benjamin Netanyahu's office says there's no ceasefire to allow for that. Energy markets are nervy after threats by Iran. Issam Abdallah is laid to rest in his hometown in Lebanon. Plus, the latest after critical votes in Poland, Ecuador, Australia and New Zealand.

      <description>Ukraine gets left behind on two fronts as Congress avoids a shutdown by stripping funding for Kyiv and Ukraine’s neighbour Slovakia elects a pro-Russian candidate, who has vowed to end its support. The trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried begins this week, as does Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial. Plus the fallout from a suicide attack in Turkey’s capital, and how 24 hours in Nagorno Karabkh has altered the balance of power on Russia’s doorstep.

      <title>Trump’s Michigan trip, a Black Sea commander mystery and Amazon’s antitrust fight</title>
      <description>A New York judge finds Donald Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud. The ruling comes ahead of the former president’s trip to Detroit to woo striking autoworkers. Did Ukraine really kill the head of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet? The mystery deepens. A fire at a wedding hall in Iraq kills more than 100 people. Plus, we look at why the federal trade commission is suing Amazon and how investors are preparing for a possible U.S. shutdown.

And, why a British plan to draw a line under the bloody events of the past is causing fresh pain in Northern Ireland.

      <title>Russia’s jail ‘carousel’, Australia hit by misinformation, Ukraine war divides the G20</title>
      <description>Australia’s upcoming referendum on Indigenous rights finds itself the target of online misinformation. And experts say it’s working. Human rights lawyers say Russia is repeatedly arresting and releasing some people for minor offenses as a tool to quell dissent against the conflict in Ukriane. And leaders of the world's richest countries are heading to New Delhi for the G20 summit - without Xi or Putin.

      <title>Weekend episode: Stagnating Germany – can Europe’s biggest economy snap out of it?</title>
      <description>It’s Europe’s biggest economy – so how worried should people be about Germany’s stagnation? We look at what’s pummelling the country’s economy – and how a Nazi-era bunker-turned-penthouse has become emblematic of its property market woes. Plus, government plans to legalize cannabis have weed smokers on a high.
*This podcast was corrected. An earlier version said the amount of time it takes to open a business in Germany is double the EU average. The correct statistic is that the time it takes to obtain a license to open a business in Germany is double the OECD average. The incorrect line was removed.

      <title>Hilary hits California, Russia fails but moon race goes on and Ukraine dusts off old tanks</title>
      <description>Tropical storm Hilary has lashed southern California with flash floods, prompting some to flee. Russia’s first lunar mission in 47 years ended in failure. But the new space race is still on, with India set to make an attempt this week. Ukraine welcomes mothballed Leopard 1 tanks due to low supplies of newer equipment. Plus, China’s workers turn to driving for ride-hailing apps – making it more difficult for longstanding drivers to make ends meet.

      <title>Weekend episode: Afghans in limbo two years on, and we remember Danish Siddiqui</title>
      <description>It's been two years since the Taliban took back Afghanistan. Yet, many of the Afghans who worked for U.S. organizations during the 20-year war are still left waiting for visas. We visit with one family waiting for visas in Pakistan, and examine the photographic legacy of our colleague Danish Siddiqui, who was killed while covering a clash between Afghan Special Forces and the Taliban in Kandahar.

      <title>Pakistan church violence, Israel-Lebanon border tensions and a divided Fed</title>
      <description>Increasing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border have elevated the risk of outright conflict. A standoff in Pakistan as troops guard a church from mob violence over claims a Koran was desecrated. Fed minutes show division on further rate increases as the battle against inflation continues. Officials defend not using the siren alert system in Maui -- and Europe’s environmental ambitions face a ‘greenlash’.

      <title>Spain’s fugitive kingmaker, a striking Israel reservist and Musk’s risky X factor</title>
      <description>“Major E” served in Israel’s army for 13 years – but today he’s one of the reservists on strike to protest the judicial reforms ripping the country apart. A fugitive separatist leader could determine whether or not Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez holds on to power. Plus, the risks for Elon Musk’s ‘X’ and inside the delicate negotiations over the missing US soldier.
*This podcast was corrected. An earlier version incorrectly referred to the Junts party as the organizers of the banned Catalonia independence referendum in 2017. It was organized by PDeCAT, another pro-independence party at the time led by Carles Puigdemont.

      <title>Biden's Netanyahu U-turn, Russia's retaliation and AI assistants</title>
      <description>Russia has attacked Ukraine’s Black Sea port Odesa, a day after exiting a grain deal and leaving poorer nations in doubt over how to feed their people. President Joe Biden has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a visit to the United States – we look at why he’s changed course after months of the cold shoulder. Plus, tourists to Europe are considering new itineraries as traditional hot spots such as Italy and Spain are becoming too, well, hot. And the race to perfect the AI assistant.

      <title>Wagner group’s Africa dealings and raids in Europe’s new pot capital</title>

A conservative Supreme Court rejects a legal theory that would give almost unchecked power to state lawmakers in deciding elections. Plus, police in Barcelona say organized crime has flourished around legal weed.

      <title> Special episode: Pride and prejudice – LGBTQ+ around the world</title>

But elsewhere in the world, members of the LGBTQ+ community fear to do either as repercussions for visibility are great. In this special episode, we look at LGBTQ+ reality around the world, from the restrictive laws of Uganda to the Pride marches for peace in Cyprus.

      <title>El Nino threatens more wildfires and Germany’s far-right surge</title>
      <description>It’s Canada’s worst ever start to wildfire season – we look at how El Nino’s hot, dry conditions could make matters worse. In Germany, the country's most successful far-right party since the Nazis are surging on an anti-immigration, anti-green agenda. Plus, the unions fighting in Long Beach to make sure zero-emissions do not equal lost jobs.
**Please note episode updated to clarify that Long Beach is aiming to have the world’s first zero-emissions terminal, not be the world's first zero-emissions port.

      <title>What's the G7 to do about China?</title>
      <description>President Joe Biden wants to send a tough message to Beijing from this year’s G7 summit. But China’s trade ties with other G7 countries are complicating Biden’s goal. Japan’s hopes for concrete action on nuclear disarmament also look out of reach as countries stock up on missiles and warheads. We hear from disillusioned atomic bomb survivors and visit an arms factory in South Korea to see firsthand the business of war.

      <title>Assad in Saudi to talk drugs and money</title>
      <description>Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is in Saudi Arabia to attend the Arab League summit. His appearance seals his return to the regional fold after years of civil war. But Arab leaders are seeking a price for re-engagement and potential financial assistance – action on Syria’s flourishing drugs trade. G7 leaders are set to unveil new sanctions against Russia and welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at a summit in Hiroshima. Plus, Greek politicians vie for struggling youth vote, New York pitches for the World Cup 2026 final and debunking misinformation at the U.S./Mexico border.

      <title>Why Chinese migrants are arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border</title>
      <description>This special weekend episode is all about China.
Meet the new migrants making the arduous trek over the Mexico-U.S. border. We talk with those who have left China and find out how they arrived on the Darien Gap.
Plus a hot new trend seizes the young and unemployed – Buddhist devotion. But is it religious resurgence, or a novel way to find a job?
Plus we find out how Beijing is responding to a declining birth rate by easing restrictions on single women.

      <title>Abortion drug battle and the U.S. government mole hunt</title>
      <description>We break down the legal tussle over the abortion drug Mifepristone. What happens next now that a federal judge has suspended FDA approval of the drug? What are U.S. security services most concerned about in the leak of intel documents? And why neither Taiwan nor China has it in their best interest for conflict to break out.

*This episode was updated to correctly refer to the fact that the Biden administration is seeking to block a Texas judge's ruling on mifepristone (not that they have blocked it).

      <title>DeSantis’ foreign policy problem and a kiss made in China</title>
      <description>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants to be a winner but does his lack of foreign policy expertise hold him back in 2024? India's parliament disqualifies opposition party leader Rahul Gandhi as a lawmaker after a court sentences him to two years in prison. We talk about a new product that’s helping long-distance couples bridge the kissing gap, and the dangers of AI-generated images in photojournalism. And the latest rulings from the World Athletics Council on trans athletes and testosterone in sports.

*The episode was corrected to say that a Manhattan grand jury did not meet Thursday (rather than didn’t yet take up the case).

      <title>The aftermath of the quake and the politics of aid</title>
      <description>We're in Turkey and Syria as hopes fade of finding survivors in the rubble and the clamor for aid crescendos. Against a backdrop of politics and bitter civil war, how will the governments of Tayyip Erdogan and Bashar Assad respond? 
And in South Africa, the president is getting ready to give his State of the Nation address. But can he keep the lights on long enough to rescue a flatlining economy?
Plus our reporter sits down with Jamie Dimon in Miami to talk interest rates and the flight of rich Wall Streeters from his hometown.
