Chapter 2: What sparked the outrage over the shooting in Minneapolis?
I'm Charlotte Gallagher, and in the early hours of Monday, the 26th of January, these are our main stories. As outrage grows over the fatal shooting of a nurse by US federal immigration agents, President Trump has said there will be a thorough review and the agents will leave Minneapolis at some point. More than a million households and businesses in the US are without power because of a huge winter storm.
Mark Tully, BBC's voice of India, has died. We look back at his career.
Emotions are continuing to run high in Minneapolis after the fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti at the hands of border officials, the second American killed in the city this month. The Democrat governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, has called for the agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to leave. President Trump said his administration is reviewing everything that's happened in the city and hinted at the possibility of immigration enforcement officials being withdrawn eventually.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Mr Trump declined to say whether the agent who shot Mr Preti had acted appropriately. Our correspondent Tom Bateman reports from Minneapolis. One of the sounds you get used to here is the combination of the crunch of the snow and ice beneath your feet and the repeating chance of the protesters to get ice out of Minneapolis. And thousands have turned out
What does the sign say?
I saw. Of Minnesota. A day of truth and freedom. We both marched on Friday. And now we're back. Just trying to find out how we can show up because...
Minneapolisin ihmiset ovat tyhjiä, todella rauhoittuneita ja... Irateeja. Irateeja. Varmistan, että siellä, missä se mennään, on sotilas. Minäkin. Koska tämä on omistusterrorismi. Me olemme terrorisoineet. Nämä ovat asioita, jotka ovat tapahtuneet aiemmin, kun regiimejä on ottanut kansaa. Me olemme yhdessä. Me olemme yhdessä kansa. Täällä on liian paljon ihmisiä, jotka edelleen tuottaa tätä väärää. Ja siksi minä olen haastava sotilasta.
Olemme täällä käyttämällä kansalliset oikeudet. Ihmis, joka kuoli, oli kaikkien kansalliset oikeudet. He tappoivat häntä. He ottoivat häntä pyörään ensin. He jätti heidän ystävänsä selvää häntä. Ja sitten he tappoivat häntä. Se on selvää, selvää, selvää.
Protesterit ovat pysyneet yleensä rauhallisena. Koneet tulevat eteenpäin, hommat ylöspäin, yrittävät näyttää yksityisyyttä. Olemme kuitenkin saaneet rauhallisen retorikin demokraattisissa valtio- ja valtio-alueissa ja Washingtonin Trumpin hallituksessa.

Chapter 3: How is the winter storm affecting the United States?
I'm from New York originally, so just not having anything plowed blows my mind. When it snows, you're stuck. Our reporter in Washington DC is Helena Humphrey. This is an absolutely massive storm. It is stretching right across the United States some 2,000 miles. Really remarkable to see that storm system from the likes of New Mexico stretching to New York, heading up to Maine, where I am in Washington DC right now, blanketed.
Kiitos, että katsoitte. Kiitos kun katsoit videon! And when you think of somewhere like Louisiana, you don't think of particularly cold weather. And is that part of the problem, that people maybe aren't as prepared in places like Louisiana as they are where you are? That's such a good point. I mean, it's really so remarkable to see southern states like Louisiana
Mississippi, Texas, for example, all knocked off the power grid. More than one million properties, so homes and businesses are without electricity. People waking up in the dark. In some places in North Carolina, people are without heating.
Ja he ovat vain olleet sanoneet, että heidän pitäisi sitoutua paljon päivittäin, koska se on vaikeaa jopa mennä ulos, jotta pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät pyöräilijät Tomorrow, but nevertheless I think everyone is feeling it right across the country.
And how much are the authorities able to help if it's such a huge storm and there's so much snow? I mean, I imagine they've got their work cut out. They've certainly got their work cut out. I was up early this morning around 4 a.m. watching the snow plows try to plow through the streets, but no sooner had they passed. And essentially what you saw were the streets blanketed white once again. President Trump has declared a state of emergency for at least 23 states. And what that does is...
It unlocks federal funding in this kind of effort, but in many cases it's a case of people having to take the advice from authorities, hunkering down, sheltering in place if they can. Of course there's always that concern with regards to people who perhaps don't have a home, unhoused populations, certainly an issue here in Washington DC, and they've been opening warming shelters for people who have nowhere to go. Helena Humphrey in Washington DC.
The French sailor Thomas Covell and his seven-man crew have set a new round-the-world sailing record. They completed the 50,000 kilometre non-stop voyage in 40 days, 10 hours and 45 minutes, wiping more than 12 hours off the previous record to claim the Jules Verne trophy. Helen Fretter, who's the editor of Yachting World magazine, says it's a gruelling challenge to undertake.
Jules Verne-trofi on ympäri maailmaa yhdessä. Aloitetaan Suomesta, menet Etelä-Atlantikkaan ympäri maailmaa ja tulet takaisin. Olin kutsunut Jules Verneen, koska tehdä sen yli 80 päivää oli kuitenkin ongelmallista. Nyt he yrittävät tehdä sen yli 40 päivää. Ja teknologia, joka on olemassa vuonna 2017, on tullut yli ja yli. Veneet ovat ongelmallisia koneita.
but the margin that they have broken the record by is still really small, because it's just such an incredible challenge. You're at the lap of the wind gods, effectively, as to what conditions you get, and there's also the real technical challenge of managing these really complex boats through really extreme sea states, all the fatigue and damage that can occur over a month and a bit of pushing it to its absolute limits.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Interpol's actions regarding Russia?
Russia had requested via Interpol for Eugene to be arrested, accusing him of fraud and seeking his extradition. Apparently I stole money from a theater. I don't know what to tell you. It never happened. Interpol didn't take a view on his criminal case. He spent three weeks behind bars in Italy before the organization decided to cancel Russia's arrest request because of doubts raised over whether it was politically motivated. Today's threats are global threats.
Ja se on juuri se, mitä Interpolilla on. Interpolilla on pitkäaikainen kritiikki, että hallitsevien regioiden käyttäjät käyttävät itsenäisiä järjestöjä, jotta he järjestävät ympäristöjä. Ukraina-CCTV käsittelee näitä kuvia, joissa russi miltäri käsittelee rannasta Crimeaan suuntaan.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Interpol acted and said it would add extra scrutiny on requests from Russia. Despite the extra checks, leaked documents reveal Interpol approved about 90% of Russia's requests in 2024. At the same time, when Interpol's independent watchdog was reviewing complaints about Russia's requests, they overturned roughly half for breaking the rules. Internal reports also showed Interpol was aware of Russia's flagrant violations of its rules.
I've been working for Interpol for quite a while now. I won't say where. That's a whistleblower from inside Interpol, who has leaked thousands of internal documents to BBC Eye and Disclose, a French investigative newsroom. We've disguised their voice and identity. They claim to be transparent, but that's just not true. Everything is on a need-to-know basis.
Olemme kertoneet, että Interpol on vähentänyt joitain sen ristriksioita Venäjän vastaan. Interpol on vastannut, että heillä on järjestelmällinen olo pysyä vähentämään ristiriitaa. He sanoivat, etteivät he voivat kommentoida, onko ristiriitaa ristiriitaan. Olemme pysyneet ristiriitaan, jonka Venäjä on tarkoittanut, koska sääntö alkoi. Kun hän on tullut rauhassa, hän on kuin rauhassa.
Igor Petrikov nyt asuu Suomessa, jossa hän etsii asiloita. Hänen yrityksensä olivat suurin piirteet rauhallisia teräyhtymäriä. Lopulta lopulta hän ei halunnut pysyä ulkopuolella. Minä olin vastattava tästä. Minun pitäisi pysyä paljon vahvemmin kuin minulle. Se ei ollut vain yrityksen asia, se oli myös moraalinen asia. Hän sanoo, että hänen pysyänsä liittyi hänen yrityksensä nationalisoimaan ja kriminaaliseen tutkimukseen. Hän lähti Ruotsiin ja oli laittanut Interpolin halutuista listaa.
Egor's name was on the wanted list for almost two years, before Interpol ruled that his case was predominantly political.
A big part of Saudi Arabia's reinvention of its troubled global image has been through hosting sporting events. That'll culminate in the World Cup in 2034 going to Saudi. But the path is not proving entirely smooth. It's just been announced that the Asian Winter Games, which the kingdom was due to host in three years, have been postponed indefinitely. The event was due to be held in the planned megacity of Neom.
So how's that progressing? It's something that Alison Killing from the Financial Times has been looking into. She began by describing the vision for Neon. There were a number of projects that were actually part of it. One that people might have heard of is the line. That was this giant megastructure which was meant to be 200 metres wide, 500 metres high and then 170 kilometres long. It looks like this giant mirror glass wall stretching from the sea up into the desert. And 9 million people were supposed to live inside that thing.

Chapter 5: How did Mark Tully impact journalism in India?
I grew up listening to Mark Tully's dispatches and reports in the 80s and 90s, and he was an inspiration to many aspiring journalists at that time.
His colleagues and friends remember him as a uniquely warm, generous, gentle and helpful man. As the historian William Dalrymple put it, as the voice of India, he was irreplaceable. A man prepared to stand up to power and to tell the truth, however uncomfortable.
That was Ambarasan Etirajan. And finally, thousands of people have queued at a zoo in Japan to see the country's final two giant pandas before they leave for China on Tuesday. The twin bears were born in Tokyo in 2021 to parents on loan from Beijing. Our Tokyo correspondent Shaima Khalil reports from UNA Zoo.
It's been a big day here at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo. Emotional for some, as large crowds gathered to say goodbye to Japan's beloved twin pandas, Shao Shao and his sister Lele. I am surrounded by panda souvenirs, stuffed toys, magnets, bags, hats.
The four-year-old giant pandas have been national darlings since their birth here, but their return to China was always part of the loan agreement. Many people here tell me that even though they knew that they had to go home someday, it's still hard saying goodbye. I've always liked pandas, but seeing the twins and witnessing their growth, especially since they were so small, has been such a joy. It's rather sad that they are leaving.
But considering their situation and thinking about their future partners, it really is better for them to be in China.
I've been bringing my boy here since he was a baby, so I hope it becomes a good memory for him. I'm glad we could come today to remember them. Record numbers have wanted to come here to see the pandas for the last time, so a lottery was drawn to pick the lucky visitors. But the viewing itself has also been restricted, about a minute or so. Just barely enough time to wave, to say goodbye, and maybe take a selfie.
Tämä on hienoa!
China has long used these loans as part of its foreign relations, known worldwide as panda diplomacy. Loaning pandas when things go well, withdrawing them when relations sour. But this farewell comes against a particularly tense backdrop in the Japan-China relations, after the Japanese prime minister, Sanai Takeichi, said that Tokyo would respond militarily if China attacked Taiwan. Comments, of course, that infuriated Beijing.
