BBC Verify, our misinformation and fact-checking unit, has been investigating some of the claims about unfair trade practices made by President Donald Trump on Monday. Verify's Jake Horton spoke to Geeta Gurumurthy.
That was Jake Horton. The BBC has gained rare insight into the lives of more than three million Ukrainians living in Russian-occupied territory. We've spoken to Maria, not her real name, about her work as an activist and member of a women's resistance group. For her safety, Maria's words have been revoiced by one of our colleagues.
Vitaly Shevchenko is the Russia editor at BBC Monitoring. He told us how risky it is for people like Maria to oppose occupying Russian forces.
And they are fighting an uphill battle, aren't they, against this Russification because schools are under Russian control. The ruble is used in these areas. You need a Russian passport to open a bank account. All of these things are meaning that it's being moved further and further away from Kiev's orbit.
Vitaly Shevchenko. Many listeners will probably think they have an idea of the final hours of the Titanic, but new analysis has revealed fresh insight into the doomed passenger ship's final hours. An exact 3D replica shows the violence of how the ship ripped in two as it sank after hitting an iceberg in 1912 and what was happening when it did. Our science editor Rebecca Murrell has more.

The first baby in the UK born from a womb transplant. Baby Amy arrives.
President Trump says the US is having direct talks with Iran, adding that they will have a very big meeting on Saturday. He was speaking in the Oval Office after a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
But Iranian state media say only indirect talks with the US will be held in Oman on Saturday, led by Iran's foreign minister and President Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Last month, Mr Trump threatened to bomb Iran and let it agreed not to develop nuclear weapons. Iran claims its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Dr Abbas Milani, director of Iranian studies at Stanford University in the US, explains the talks from Tehran's perspective.
So what else do we know about these negotiations? Here's our chief international correspondent, Lise Doucette.
Lise Doucette, the number of people being executed around the world by their governments is at its highest level in 10 years. That's according to a new report by Amnesty International. It lists China as carrying out the most executions, as our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports.
Decades of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be coming to an end as the finishing touches are being put to a peace deal. But the fate of ethnic Armenian prisoners currently on trial in Baku is not part of the deal. The neighbouring nations have fought two full-scale wars over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Azerbaijan regained full control of two years ago.
The former leaders of the separatist region are now being tried in Baku's military court, accused of war crimes. Among them is billionaire philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan, who founded one of Armenia's most prestigious educational institutions. His trial is scheduled to restart on Tuesday. Reyhan Dimitri travelled to Armenia to meet those affected by the detentions.
Dan from China.
Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, all countries that rely heavily on food aid from abroad. Now the United States seems to be saying it will stop providing its portion of assistance. That at least is according to the UN's World Food Programme, which says the move could amount to a death sentence for millions of people.
Imogen Folks, who's in Geneva, where the WFP is based, told me more about the background.
And you say critical situations in those countries. What could be the potential impact on places like Afghanistan, Somalia?
Now to a life-giving technology. A woman in the UK has given birth to a baby girl two years after she'd had a womb transplant. The extraordinary thing is that this was all made possible because Grace Davidson's sister, Amy, was the donor. Grace's baby has been called Amy too in recognition of her aunt. Our medical editor Fergus Walsh reports.
