Former French president Sarkozy is given five-year sentence

The Global News Podcast presents a roundup of international news stories, starting with the sentencing of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to prison for criminal conspiracy related to obtaining funds from Libya, followed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's address to the UN calling for recognition of Palestine. The podcast then covers the arrest of Bolivia's former anti-drug leader after a cocaine lab was found on his property. Further segments include a discussion on a new deal to reduce the price of an HIV drug, the rise of fake Le Boo Boo dolls, and Zimbabwe's burgeoning blueberry industry. The podcast also touches on violent demonstrations in Ladakh, India, and concludes with a discussion on a study about the secrets to a long life, inspired by a 117-year-old woman's yogurt habit.
