The list includes some of the weirdest new finds in the plant world, including a zombie fungus from Brazil, a blood-stained orchid from Ecuador and a fiery plant named after a Studio Ghibli character.

But despite only being recently discovered, some are already at threat of extinction.

Professor William Baker, a senior research leader at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, told Tim Franks about some of the new plants.

This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Julia McFarlane and at 6 o'clock GMT on Wednesday the 5th of November, these are our main stories. A Muslim and democratic socialist Zoran Mamdani has won the race to be New York City's next mayor, the youngest person to hold the job for more than a century.

In a further blow to President Trump, the Democratic Party is on course for victories in other polls across the US, including governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey. A huge fire has broken out after a cargo plane crashed at Louisville airport in Kentucky, killing at least seven people.

Also in this podcast, the UN suspends operations on the Afghan border with Iran. These are very beautiful places. In the most dense city in Europe, these are places where you can have pastoral walks. Although they're graveyards, they're very nice places to be. The Parisian neighborhood with the quietest residents.

Zoran Mamdani on voinut rannan New York City's next mayor. With the victory, the 34-year-old will etch his place in history as the city's youngest mayor in a century and the first Muslim to hold the position. This is the moment the news was announced at his campaign's watch party.

Mamdani, who described himself as a democratic socialist, led a campaign focused on making life more affordable for ordinary Americans. Several politicians have congratulated him, with Barack Obama saying the future looked a little brighter.

But President Trump suggested the results were down to the government shutdown, now the longest ever, and pointed out that he wasn't on the ballot himself. But even though his name isn't on there, the result is a reflection of the Trump administration's popularity, and the president will be watching closely, something Mr Mamdani made a point of in his victory speech.
