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.

Together we will usher in a generation of change. If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up!

Our correspondent Peter Bowes has this assessment of Mr Mamdani's 30-minute speech. The powerful oratory skills of Zohan Mamdani, there for all to see. The skills that really became a hallmark of his hugely energetic campaign. Laying it all out there. The dawn of a better day for humanity, he said. A mandate for change.

A new kind of politics. And directly talking to Donald Trump, the sitting president who has been so critical of him, describing him as a communist, someone who isn't fit and experienced enough to run a huge city like New York. A democratic socialist, as he said just now, unapologetic for what he stands for. The challenge for him now is...

is to live up to all of those promises. As he said several times, he will take power in just a few short weeks' time, and he will have to come up with the goods. He's made a lot of promises as part of his democratic socialist agenda. And the people of New York, but I think Democrats and the nation as a whole, will be watching very closely to see what he can achieve, and especially the Democratic Party, because

Luulen, että kuten olemme puhuneet muutaman päivän jälkeen, moni seurakunnan johtajat eivät välttämättä vastaa tätä uutta tyyliä, joka tarkoittaa, että sosiaalisuus ei toimi New Yorkissa. He ovat myös katsomassa, ja ehkä vain ymmärtävät, onko tämä se tyyli, jota heidän täytyy ymmärtää muissa Yhdysvalloissa, erityisesti suurissa ympäristöissä.
