This BBC Global News Podcast episode covers several international news stories. It begins with an update on US trade tariffs, detailing the legal back-and-forth regarding their implementation. The podcast then shifts to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, reporting on ceasefire proposals, humanitarian aid distribution, and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including perspectives from both Israeli settlers and Palestinian analysts. Further segments include a story about a Chinese paraglider who was temporarily banned for an unplanned high-altitude flight, a retrial ordered in the Diego Maradona death case due to judicial misconduct, the murder of five musicians in Mexico allegedly by drug traffickers, the rise of vaping among UK youth and efforts to combat it, the controversy surrounding the lack of primetime slots for women's tennis matches at the French Open, and the reappearance of Stalin monuments in Moscow amid a broader reshaping of Russian historical narratives.
