And don't forget our sister 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 for the first time by Charlie Berenger, and the producer was Will Chalk.

The editor is Karen Martin, and I'm Ankur Desai.

Until next time, goodbye.

This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

Hello, I'm Ankur Desai.

And in the early hours of Wednesday, the 25th of February, these are our main stories.

President Trump has delivered a stridently America first State of the Union address to Congress.

He lavishly praised his own administration's record while attacking that of the Democrats, some of whom walked out and heckled the president during some heated exchanges.

At just under two hours, the speech was the longest in history.

We'll hear some of the highlights from the speech and get analysis from our correspondent in Washington.

Also in this podcast, if you're travelling to the UK, keep listening.

As from today, you'll need to apply for a new electronic travel authorisation.

Elsewhere, authorities in Thailand are investigating the deaths of dozens of tigers at a popular tourist attraction.

And... This is an extraordinary golden ram's head, some 20 centimetres across, and it weighs, I think, 1.2 kilos.

You'll hear the story of a golden ram's head from Ghana and other stolen artefacts from colonial times which the public are being denied access to.

Donald Trump has delivered the annual State of the Union address.

He spoke for nearly two hours, making it the longest such speech in history.

The president began by saying his administration had heralded what he called the golden age of America.

When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide open border.
