BNP set to win election in Bangladesh

The Global News Podcast presents several developing world events. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party is projected to win a landslide election after a student-led uprising deposed Sheikh Hasina, though her Awami League was banned from participating. The US blockade of Cuba is causing acute fuel and food shortages, with residents struggling through long blackouts and a deteriorating social situation. The CIA is stepping up efforts to recruit Chinese spies, releasing a Chinese-language video targeting disillusioned military personnel and scientists. Additionally, the Berlin Film Festival premiered "No Good Men," a romantic comedy set in Afghanistan, challenging typical war drama portrayals of the country.
