The Global News Podcast presents a series of international news stories. The podcast begins with coverage of the Israeli ground and air assault on Deir al-Balah in Gaza, including distressing reports from a British Pakistani surgeon and reactions from Israelis. It also covers the difficulties faced by Palestinian students trying to take up scholarships abroad, a fighter jet crash in Bangladesh that killed many children, and the cancellation of a concert involving a Russian conductor. Further topics include a territorial dispute between two Croatian islands resolved through a tug-of-war, the political fallout in Japan from rising rice prices, South Africa's efforts to address power insecurity with pay-as-you-go solar systems, and a study on violence against girls worldwide. The podcast concludes with stories about a football club in the UK prescribing match tickets for mild depression and a camel in Pakistan fitted with a prosthetic leg, ending with a musical performance about Iranian women seeking freedom.
