The BBC Global News Podcast presents a series of global updates, beginning with a dire cholera outbreak in Sudan exacerbated by conflict and displacement, with aid delivery hampered by ongoing fighting. It then covers diplomatic talks between Ukraine and Britain ahead of a Trump-Putin summit, focusing on security guarantees for Ukraine. The podcast also addresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting restrictions on aid and differing opinions within Israel regarding the situation. Furthermore, it discusses the stalled multinational talks in Geneva aimed at curbing global plastic pollution and the increasing risk of urban wildfires due to climate change, particularly in the UK.
