The BBC Global News Podcast presents a series of international news stories, starting with the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where aid delivery is stalled despite Israeli allowance, and the potential for further military escalation causing international condemnation. The podcast then shifts to President Trump's announcement of a new missile defense system, followed by the murder of two aides to Mexico City's mayor. It also covers the story of an 11-year-old piano prodigy discovered through YouTube, Spain's crackdown on Airbnb properties due to housing shortages, a new EU levy on small parcels from China, and France's efforts to combat miniature cell phones in prisons. Finally, the podcast announces Sesame Street's move to Netflix.
