Global News Podcast · NATO calls for unity as tensions rise with US over Ukraine · 14 Feb 2025 podcast

Jonathan Beale. So how has Wednesday's phone call between President Trump and Vladimir Putin been received in Russia? Our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.

Steve Rosenberg. Meanwhile, in Kiev, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has insisted his country must be involved in peace talks about the future of his country. With his assessment of Ukraine's position, here's our international editor, Jeremy Bowen.

Jeremy Bowen in Ukraine. Next to Germany, and police have given more details about the Afghan man arrested in Munich after he drove into a crowd injuring 28 people. They say the suspect is a failed asylum seeker who has been in Germany since 2016. Counter-terrorism police have taken over the investigation.

The incident comes during a general election campaign in which immigration and asylum are key issues. The front-runner to become the next chancellor in nine days' time, Friedrich Merz, said things had to change so that everyone would feel safe. Earlier, the current German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, says crime will be treated very seriously.

Jessica Parker in Germany. Israel has said Hamas must release three living hostages on Saturday or the Gaza ceasefire will be over. The demand follows an earlier announcement by Hamas that it will now meet that deadline. The group had previously said it would postpone the release, accusing Israel of breaching the terms of the ceasefire deal.

That led President Trump to say Israel should let hell break out in Gaza if the captives aren't freed. Our Middle East correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the families of some of the young women hostages freed from Gaza have told the BBC of their treatment during 15 months of captivity and the ways they survived. The parents of four of them have described how they were given little food, saw another hostage being beaten and were threatened by armed men as they were held in tunnels and buildings above ground.

Alice Cuddy has been speaking to the families of the freed hostages and sent this report from Jerusalem. Some people may find the following distressing.

That report was by Alice Cuddy.

We find out what's causing so much damage around the world.

Riot police in Tehran have prevented a protest demanding the release of people still under house arrest many years after they disputed an election result. The 2009 Green Movement believed the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been rigged. The organisers of Thursday's protest had submitted a formal request to hold the non-violent demonstration. Sirvash Arlan of BBC Persian reports.

President Trump's controversial nominee for US Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has narrowly secured approval by the US Senate. Mr. Kennedy's confirmation follows hearings in which he was questioned about his record of scepticism about the safety of vaccines. He says his priorities include tackling obesity and cutting out ultra-processed foods.

A day after the US election last November, President Trump's former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, gave his view on the likelihood of RFK Jr. being made US health secretary.

Not so, it seems. Evan Davis spoke to Anthony Zirka, our North America correspondent, and asked him more about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 's appointment.

Anthony Zirka. Ruthless, vicious and notorious. Pablo Escobar, Colombia's former drug smuggling kingpin, was responsible for hundreds of murders and kidnappings in the 1980s and 90s. It is more than 30 years since he was killed in a shootout with police, but thanks to the books and TV programmes about him, he is as talked about as ever. And he's also big business.

He's on mugs, keychains and T-shirts sold in tour shops across the country. But now the Colombian government is proposing a bill to ban Escobar merchandise and that of other convicted criminals. Our reporter Catherine Ellis, who's normally based in Medellin, where Pablo Escobar was based, told me more about the proposed law.

And Catherine, why is this being proposed now as a law and how much political support is there for it?

And what do people making money out of this trade make of this proposed law?

And Catherine, how likely is it, do you think, that this law will go ahead?

Catherine Ellis. Now, scientists have been poring over hundreds of studies about the impact of pesticides and they found to what extent they're having a serious impact on biodiversity around the world and on all sorts of species.
