And don't forget, ask this to podcast the global story, which goes in depth and beyond the headlines on one big story.

This edition of the Global News Podcast was mixed by Zabiula Karush and the producer was Will Chalk.

The editor is Karen Martin.

I'm Ankur Desai.

Until next time, goodbye.

Tapahtuipa kerran, että pessimisti, optimisti ja saletisti suunnittelivat tapasiltaa.

Ja niinhän siinä kävi, että saletisti onnistui.

Saletisti onnistuu!

Red and no, no.

Hello, I'm Ankur Desai and in the early hours of Tuesday the 14th of April, these are our main stories.

The US Vice President Jody Vance suggests talks with Iran could resume, but the ball is in Tehran's court.

He was speaking after the US Navy began enforcing a blockade of Iranian ports.

A BBC investigation uncovers evidence of life-threatening malpractice on the paediatric ward of a Pakistani hospital previously linked to a HIV outbreak.

Also in this podcast, Colombia is to begin a cull of its invasive hippopotamus population to protect local ecosystems and native species such as manatees and river turtles.

This is a necessary action to reduce the population.

Without that action, it's impossible to control the population.

As the US and Iran continue to tussle over the key waterway that is vital to the global economy, the US Vice President has given an indication that fresh talks could be revived, but says the ball is in Iran's court.

This comes after J.D.

Vance accused the Iranian government of carrying out what he called economic terrorism by largely closing the Strait of Hormuz to ships.
