Trump hits India with 50% tariffs

The Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service presents a series of international news stories. These include US tariffs on Indian goods in response to India's purchase of Russian oil, a diplomatic dispute between Denmark and the US over alleged covert operations in Greenland, and Germany's plans for voluntary military service that could lead to conscription. The podcast also covers the exploitation of Holocaust emotions through fake AI-generated images on social media, and the successful test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket. Additional stories include the devastating floods in Pakistan caused by monsoon rains and water released by India, restrictions on feeding pigeons in Mumbai, and the placement of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro under surveillance due to flight risk concerns. The podcast concludes with a report on human rights violations against migrants in Mauritania and a discussion on the potential of re-flooding peatlands as a defense strategy against military invasion.
