My country of winners. After the ceremony, one of the men tells me that Russia is a country of victors and always will be. The Kremlin would like Russians to view the Ukraine war as a continuation of the great patriotic, as a just war. But they are very different.

In 1941 Nazi Germany invaded Russia. In 2022 the Kremlin invaded Ukraine. The war there has already lasted longer than World War II for Russia. And for Moscow, victory remains elusive.

That report by Steve Rosenberg. Catherine Belton is a reporter on Russia for the Washington Post and author of Putin's People. She's been telling Evan Davis how life in Moscow has been impacted by the war.

It's a really interesting picture and it obviously is a very significant shift from what was seen as Russia making great advances in the war. Are people contemplating life beyond Putin in Russia?

The great and the good from the top tier of fashion are in Copenhagen for the Global Fashion Summit, and they've got a lot to talk about. The European Union is slapping major new regulations on the industry that will force brands to put sustainability first and change the way they operate forever. Wendy Urquhart has the details.

When our favorite brands go on sale, most of us hit the shops in the hope of finding that ultimate bargain. But trends change like the wind, which means fashion companies are constantly producing high-volume, low-quality, cheap clothing just to keep up with the fashionistas. Fast fashion is responsible for around 8-10% of global carbon emissions. That's more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.

Industri käyttää myös noin 93 kubikkiä vettä, joka voisi soittaa 5 miljoonan ihmisen tarpeisiin. Ja se generoituu 12,6 miljoonan tonnin tekstiilipäästöjä Euroopassa yksin. Lisäksi, mitä ei myydä, lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta.

But there are big changes coming that will stop all that and prevent what's called greenwashing, where companies use fake labels like eco-friendly, green or natural to fool consumers. From mid-July it will be illegal for fashion brands in the European Union to destroy unsold clothes, footwear and accessories.

And from September, all garments must have a QR code with details of where they were made and what chemicals are embedded in them. That's manna from heaven for resale companies like eBay, Vinted and Brand Alley, which are already well established. Here's eBay's general manager of European fashion and luxury, Kirsty Keegan.

That's all very well, but for high-end brands finding a home for what doesn't sell is a much more sensitive issue. They don't produce as much as cheaper brands, but they don't want to be seen ditching stuff either. So to protect their luxury image, some are using invite-only resale platforms and private archive sales to sell excess stock.

Marie-Claire Deveau, koulutusjärjestelmä- ja koulutusjärjestelmä-offici Kieringissa, joka on koulutusjärjestelmä Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga ja muut, sanoo, että nuoret koulutusjärjestelmät katsovat koulutusjärjestelmät koulutusjärjestelmät, ennen kuin he jätkäävät rahaa.

These new rules will be costly, but it's just possible that the fashion industry is tailor-made to promote sustainability and drive home the need to protect the environment. Wendy Eckhart reporting. So to come in this podcast...

The question I have been asked throughout my lifetime with BBC was, is David Attenborough really as nice as he appears to be on the television? We'll have the answer to that question as the great man celebrates his 100th birthday.

Herro kenellekään tää on salaisuus. Klassikko, herkkugrills vartaat tai vaikka kasslerit, entrekoteet ja ripsit, jotka sit viimeistellään rubeilla ja marinaadeilla. Ruokatorilta suoraan grilliin. Nyt sä tiedät. Joka kokilla on salaisuutensa. Herkkugrills tuotteet. Valit huista Hokelannon ruokakaupoista. Ruokatorilta.

Olipa kerran pessimisti, optimisti ja saletisti. Pessimisti pelkäsi aina pahinta. Optimisti taas toivoi parasta ja luuli liikojakin. Entäpä saletisti sitten? No, saletisti onnistui. Saletisti onnistuu!

This is the Global News Podcast. One of the issues that has defined President Trump's second term domestically is immigration. Among his boldest pledges was a mass deportation drive to send anyone who'd entered the US illegally back to their home countries. The policy has been hugely controversial, particularly in Democrat-run states. In Maryland on America's east coast, one in six people were born overseas.

Its largest city, Baltimore, is one of the US's major ports. In 2024, the route into the port was partially blocked after a container ship, the Dali, struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the bridge to collapse. Rajini Vaidyanathan has been talking to one family caught up in that disaster and now caught in Maryland's deportation net.

Japan basically wrote never go to war again in its post-Second World War constitution, but now it's debating whether to change that. The Asian nation has taken a major step away from its pacifist stance, lifting decades-long restrictions on arms exports and expanding its military role abroad.

The government says it's necessary in an increasingly tense region, with Prime Minister Sanae Takeichi, who took office in October, hoping to revise the constitution. But for many Japanese residents it's raising alarm. As fears grow that the country is becoming a war-capable nation, protests are gaining momentum. This report from a Japan correspondent, Kurumi Mori.

On a Tokyo Street corner under pouring rain, a crowd gathers, holding up drenched posters and flags. Stamped on them, in big bold Japanese characters, a simple message. No war. It's a scene that's becoming increasingly common across Japan, which is currently witnessing its largest anti-war protests in decades.
