This BBC Global News Podcast delivers a concise overview of major global events. The podcast begins with reports on plummeting stock markets due to escalating trade tensions initiated by President Trump's new tariffs on the EU, Canada, and Mexico. It then covers President Ramaphosa's denial of land confiscation claims by Trump, Beyoncé's Grammy win, and the resulting global economic anxieties. Finally, the podcast discusses Keir Starmer's meeting with EU leaders post-Brexit, the arrest of a British man suspected of murdering his Thai wife 20 years prior, and the successful breeding of endangered Darwin's frogs at London Zoo. The impact of these events on global markets and international relations is a central theme.
