Anthony Head was a really well-known British actor. He started on the stage, he did musical theatre and actually he shot to fame in this country, in the UK, in quite an unusual way. He was the star of coffee adverts. There was a series of coffee adverts and they depicted this romantic relationship and viewers were hooked, if you can believe this, on these coffee adverts.
He wanted to see what the result of this relationship was. It was kind of, would they, could they? So people kind of got to know him in the UK through these adverts. But he shot to international fame really through Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He was Giles. Lots of people will have watched him.
HÀn oli tÀllainen suave, intelektuaalinen biblioteekki, mutta hÀn oli myös katsomassa BuffyÀ, meidÀn vampyÀrislaajia. HÀn oli todella rakastunut paljon ihmisistÀ, jotka katsoivat tÀmÀn programin, kun he olivat kasvaneet. Ja sitten hieman enemmÀn tulevaisuudessa, hÀn oli myös Ted Lassoissa, iso show, ja hÀn soitti viljelijÀn kappaleen.
He had Rupert Mannion, a big figure in that show. And he was also in Merlin as well on the BBC, Doctor Who. He's one of those actors that's really rarely been out of work. A real British star. Moved over to LA, of course, to do Buffy, but then moved back to Britain with his family. Yeah, and also one of those actors that I think if people don't know the name, they will definitely know the face. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. You will definitely recognize the face of Anthony Head. Now, you've been looking at some of the tributes that have been coming in as well.
I have. And first of all, there's a tribute from his daughters, Emily and Daisy. And they said it will be forever an honour and a privilege to be his daughters and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work had on so many people. And it's a terrible time for those two women, because not only has their dad just died, his long-term partner and their mother, Sarah Fisher, died in just December last year. So really horrible.
Horrible time for that family. But there's been lots of tributes from his co-stars. Sarah Michelle Gellar, of course, who played Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, said, I know I'm the lucky one because I knew you. Thank you to Daisy and Emily, his daughters, who not only shared their dad with me, but with the world. We've also heard from Brett Goldstein, who's in Ted Lasso, saying, Anthony Head was a brilliant actor who played the worst person in the world, which was an incredible skill because he was the best person ever.
That was Charlotte Gallagher.
There's a statement from Macron himself and from the maritime authorities. They said the ship was detained or stopped a long way out at sea, 750 kilometers off the coast of Brittany, so way out in the Atlantic. It was going apparently from Murmansk, that's the Russian oil port in the Arctic region.
YmpÀri British Isles and going down to the coast of West Africa to Cameroon, where it seems this ship, called the Tagor, was officially registered. Now, in the background we all know the accusation is that Russia operates this fleet of tankers, often old tankers, which it bought up when the sanctions started to hit. And in order to evade sanctions, they operate under all sorts of flags of convenience.
and all sorts of elaborate kind of management devices. But these ships, or many of these ships, are tracked. The intelligence services of Britain, France, the US know of these ships. They keep an eye on them. And when necessary, like now, or when they deem it necessary, like now, they intervene. So it's far from being the first of these actions. The French have actually done three previous boardings. And the idea is to, well, to reinforce the sanctions and to show that there is action being taken to stop this
mitÀ he kÀsittelevÀt olevan ilimitettÀvÀnsÀ. MitÀ tapahtuu laitteeseen ja myös kruun kanssa? Jos presidentti jatketaan, laitteen saadaan takaisin rannalle. LisÀÀ tutkimuksia tulee. Luulen, ettÀ russalainen kaveri tulee kÀsittelemÀÀn jÀrjestelmÀÀ, joka varmasti pÀÀttÀÀ jÀrjestelmÀÀ. TÀllÀ hetkellÀ kaveri saattaa mennÀ kruun kanssa.

Russia have said they're quite angry about this. Have France responded to that at all? Well, I mean, they're not going to respond. I mean, they simply say that what they are doing is in accordance with international maritime law that allows nations even out at sea, outside their own waters to stop ships if they suspect that maritime law is being broken. They suspected here that the maritime law has been broken, that there was a kind of
Ja se on tÀrkeÀ kysymys.
Redgo. Hinaus ja tiepalvelut. This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Charlotte Gallagher and in the early hours of the 27th of May, these are our main stories. The US starts ordering hardware to build a long-term base for humans on the moon. As fighting between Hezbollah and Israel continues, we hear why the so-called ceasefire isn't working.
The latest on a possible peace deal between Iran and the US, 24 hours after Washington launched airstrikes against the country. And as the nephew of the drug lord El Chapo is arrested, how much of a grip do the cartels still have on Mexico? Also in this podcast...
It's been less than two months since the world watched as NASA's Artemis II mission marked a return to the moon with a flyby. We just realized that we have Earth out window four and moon out window three. The moon is about three to four times the size of the Earth.
And now the US Space Agency says it's ordering parts for a sprawling base on the lunar surface, with plans for a long-term site for humans by 2032. Dr. Laurie Glaze is from NASA. We are building humanity's first outpost beyond Earth.
President Trump wants to land Americans back on the moon before he leaves office in 2028. So NASA is under pressure to at least look like it's winning the new space race. But China is breathing down its neck, of course, and it's forging ahead with plans to land human beings on the moon by the year 2030.
