Protests at COP30

The Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service presents several international news stories. These include protests at the COP30 climate summit in Brazil, a referendum in Ecuador regarding US military bases, a new peace framework signed by the Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 rebel group, and protests in Mexico over violence and insecurity. The podcast also discusses the threat to the Icelandic language, a new law in Pakistan's Balochistan province against child marriages, the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza exacerbated by heavy rain, an attack by FARC dissidents in Colombia, and Pope Leo's meeting with Hollywood stars at the Vatican. Finally, the podcast concludes with a light-hearted story about a pub in England banning a quiz team for cheating.
