Global News Podcast · ICC chief prosecutor dismissed over sexual misconduct claims · 25 Jul 2026
podcast
This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Pete Ross and in the early hours of Saturday the 25th of July, these are our main stories.
The International Criminal Court votes overwhelmingly to remove the Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan over sexual misconduct allegations.
Ten people are killed in a Russian attack on a drone exhibition near the Ukrainian capital.
And Israeli settlers attack several Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank after a major confrontation left six people dead.
Also in this podcast, wildfires continue to burn across parts of Spain and France, forcing over 150,000 people to evacuate.
And... It was such a shunned topic for so long.
Everyone was like, oh, I've got to hide my Fifty Shades of Grey that I'm reading.
Whereas now everyone's out about it and it's nice that we can all support each other.
We hear about the ever-growing popularity of Romantasy, books blending romance and fantasy.
We begin with the International Criminal Court's decision to remove its chief prosecutor from office after the ICC's governing body concluded Karim Khan had committed serious misconduct in connection to allegations of sexual abuse.
On Friday, 82 of the court's 125 member states voted in favour of ousting Mr Khan at a special meeting at the UN's headquarters in New York.
That's the president of the Assembly of States parties to the International Criminal Court, Paivi Kokoranta.
The vote brings to an end a more than two-year saga that has put the court's reputation under intense scrutiny.
Mr. Kan has led the ICC for five years, during which it issued arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Hamas officials, President Putin of Russia, and the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte.
Leila Sadat, an international lawyer who worked as a special advisor to the ICC prosecutor for just over 10 years until 2023, gave us her reaction to Mr Kan's dismissal.
The BBC's Anna Holligan covers the court in The Hague and has been following Mr Kan's case throughout.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of more Russian missile strikes in the next 48 hours.
