The Global News Podcast from the BBC covers several developing global stories. These include ongoing Iran-US nuclear talks in Geneva, where both sides express a desire for a deal but remain prepared for potential conflict, and the political turmoil in Peru, where interim president Jose Herre was ousted on corruption charges amidst a backdrop of political instability. The podcast also examines the growing fears of renewed conflict in Ethiopia between the federal government and the Tigray region, exacerbated by deteriorating relations with Eritrea. Additionally, the episode addresses Bayer's $10 billion settlement offer for claims linking its weed killer Roundup to cancer, NASA's warnings about untracked asteroids, and the International Paralympic Committee's decision to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete under their national flags.
