There they tracked some of those mercenaries in Nyala, which is the de facto capital of the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces, and which the CIG has also found great evidence, a lot of evidence of drone activity. But crucially, they were able to track some phones to Al-Fasher during that period in October, when the RSF

It's incredible to think about the global nature of this conflict. What does the report say about the alleged links to the UAE?
Well, first of all, I should say that the UAE has been for quite a long time widely reported to be providing military support to the RSF. And it has always denied that quite emphatically, saying that it categorically rejects allegations that it provided, financed, transported or facilitated any weapons, ammo, drones, vehicles and so on and so on. So it continually denies this evidence.
has mostly been, by the CIG, but also other organizations and newspaper reports, has been looking at satellite, or has been tracking flights, I should say, that are like military cargo planes, which they believe carry weapons, and tracking the flight patterns that usually involve the UAE to places where these weapons then get sent to the RSF. This report says it has quite concrete evidence of UAE links. So, for example, what I mentioned earlier traced these phones of the Colombian mercenaries, some of them,
to this training site in the United Arab Emirates. It also traced, found some of these Colombian mercenary phones in a port in northern Somalia, where the UAE has a military presence. So those were quite key according to the report. They also mentioned that these mercenaries or some of them had logged into a Wi-Fi network named after a unit that is apparently located
Operated by a UAE private company with very close links to the state and it cited other research for that connection. So these were some of the things that were mentioned in the report.

This is the Global News Podcast. To South Korea now. The K-pop supergroup BTS is one of the biggest bands in the world. They're so successful that they're responsible for boosting South Korea's economy in past years. And they've just kicked off a huge global comeback tour after a four-year break while the band's seven members were doing their mandatory military service in South Korea.
But now a twist. The man who created the band and was instrumental in its success globally, Bang Si Hyuk, faces arrest on charges of fraudulent trading. Our correspondent in Seoul, Jake Kwan, told me more.
Jake Kwan in Seoul. Here's a question. How does weather and extreme weather at that affect your ability to make it to the polls on election day? Researchers say that increasingly that's becoming an issue. Floods, fires and other examples of extreme weather are threatening people's right to vote.
A report from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance has found that elections and referendums around the world have been disrupted by intense weather conditions and natural disasters. It's the first time a global analysis has looked at how climate change is impacting elections. Helena Burke has more details.
Let's take a moment to take a fresh look at a key point in modern history. Eighty years after Nazi leaders were put on trial in the German city of Nuremberg at the end of World War II, most books and films focus on the part played by men in those trials. But what of the women who witnessed and reported on them for the rest of the world?
This is the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials, a momentous legal event which has inspired stories about men, paintings of men, books about men, and as many listeners would have seen last year's Hollywood film, Nuremberg All About Men. This is wildly misleading. I've spent the last four years uncovering the stories of the Nuremberg women.
It's important to understand the trial was so much more than men in robes administering justice. It was a huge ecosystem spread across the city, an event that required lawyers, journalists, translators, witnesses and so many more. I've shone a light on eight of this vital female cast. They came from across the world, from both sides of the conflict. My youngest character is 22, a Russian translator who
who had a front row seat to the onset of the Cold War as she translated Nazi crimes in real time. One was a brilliant lawyer who wrote the dossier which led to the conviction of Hans Frank, the butcher of Poland. Yet she was forbidden from speaking in court because of her gender. In order to have spoken in court, she would have had to obtain a waiver of disability. That disability was that she was a woman.
I've also got the pivotal witness to the trial. She was the first female witness. Her name was Marie-Claude Valien-Couturier, a fearless French resistance fighter who survived Auschwitz and made it her mission to tell the world the truth about the horrors of the concentration camp. You spoke about Laura Knight. She painted this iconic...
