The Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service delivers a digest of international news. This edition leads with the UK's agreement with France to return migrants who cross the English Channel, alongside legal migration allowances. It includes reactions from British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, and analysis of the scheme's potential impact. The podcast also covers an Israeli strike in Gaza that killed civilians, including children, with reactions from Project Hope CEO Rabih Torbay, and discusses ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, including conditions from both sides. Additionally, the podcast touches on the record-breaking sale of Jane Birkin's original Birkin bag, a UK parliamentary report on rising threats from Iran, disinformation campaigns in Ivory Coast, and the European Court of Human Rights ruling in favor of Caster Semenya.
