49.913 - 77.285 Unknown

There's been no let up in the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, where officially there's been a ceasefire for weeks. In practice, for millions in the country or people in Israeli border towns, it's been clear for some time that there isn't one. On Monday morning, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he'd ordered attacks against Hezbollah targets in the capital, Beirut.

0

127.353 - 151.535 Benjamin Netanyahu

Together with the Ministry of Defense I instructed the IDF to attack targets in Beirut. There will be no situation where Hezbollah attacks our cities and civilians. We continue to deepen our activity on the ground in southern Lebanon, eliminating Hezbollah's strongholds. Hezbollah is on the run. We are determined to restore security to the residents of the north, just as we did to the residents of the south.

Chapter 3: How are residents of Beirut responding to the Israeli airstrikes?

151.906 - 176.594 Unknown

The Iranian-backed group has been firing missiles and drones into northern Israel as Israeli forces push deeper into southern Lebanon. This comes as the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, held talks with both sides in an effort to de-escalate the fighting. The Lebanese Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, has accused Israel of a scorched earth policy and collective punishment in the south of the country.

The United Nations Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting later today on Monday to discuss the situation in Lebanon. Our correspondent in Beirut, Lina Sinjab, gave me this assessment of Mr Netanyahu's latest comments. It's a clear escalation at a time where there were diplomatic efforts to de-escalate and save Beirut from any further attacks. The last one was last week, where the Israelis said that they had a targeted attack against...

After what we've heard from the Americans, the Israelis are not stopping. Now there are thousands on the move trying to escape Dahye. Dahye is the southern part of Beirut, southern neighborhood of Beirut, which is a Hezbollah stronghold and has been targeted in the early weeks of the war. And it is now preparing for a new attack, which nobody knows the scale of it or the locations or...

253.173 - 269.508 Unknown

Ja koska Hezbollah ei ole osallistunut näihin keskusteluihin Yhdysvalloissa ja Lebanonissa, niin miten todellinen on se, että jokainen kestävää yhdessä voidaan saada?

269.508 - 290.703 Unknown

This is all happening just, you know, 24 hours also before the fourth round of direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Lebanese government to take place in Washington, D.C. The speaker of the parliament, Nabi Berri, was the one who was giving assurances about Hezbollah negotiations.

290.703 - 328.03 Unknown

Stopping aggressions against the Israelis. But he is also himself who said that Hezbollah will not stop before the Israelis will stop their aggression. So it's kind of like a back and forth accusation and blaming game between Hezbollah and the Israelis. Kiitos.

328.03 - 351.655 Unknown

To minimize the damage and only way to find a political solution, even though the reality on the ground is completely the opposite. But the government seems to be not able to control Hezbollah's activities on one hand, and are only able to push ahead with diplomatic efforts to end these hostilities and find a lasting ceasefire for Lebanon.

351.655 - 371.348 Unknown

Lina Sinjab, kun rakennamme tämän podcastin, niin uudistamme, että Beirutin järjestäminen on suunniteltu ja Daherin järjestäminen on järjestetty, kun ihmiset yrittävät jatkaa. Vähintään 3 412 ihmistä on tullut Lebanonissa vuoden alussa.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of renewed US-Iran attacks in the Gulf?

396.34 - 420.1 Unknown

Right now I'm in my house in an area very close to Dahye. My kids left school early at 12.30 because they threatened that they will bomb Dahye. And everything is on hold until we see what will happen and we are preparing the baggage to be ready to leave the house. You packed your bags. Where are you going to go to?

0

420.1 - 438.663 Unknown

We usually go to the mountain just to be far from the sound of bombs. You know, when this happens, people in threatened area come to our house and we leave the house so we can be far. So this is like a story that is being repeated every time Beirut is being bombed.

0

438.663 - 466.928 Unknown

How many times have you had to pack your bags and move in the last few years? Since 2024 it's been like a ritual for us. I can't count. We live day by day. We try to be numb in times where there's no bombing. But now things escalated very quickly. Yesterday they started to hit our village. They were a bit far before. But yesterday they did an ansar, our village.

466.928 - 483.905 Unknown

All our houses and my uncles' businesses and houses are under threat of being demolished. And today Beirut, so we have also to move. And you have a family as well, so it's not just you that has to do all that packing and moving. It's the whole family.

Minulla on 12 ja 14-vuotiaita. Minulla on 9 isoja, jotka asuvat yleensä Suomessa, ja nyt he ovat heidän perheensä. Ne ovat kaikki Beirutissa ja asuvat erilaisissa asuissa. Mutta en voi ajatella, jos he alkoivat pommittaa meidän asuamme ja niiden yrityksiä, mitä tapahtuisi seuraavaksi.

505.167 - 534.952 Unknown

This is supposed to be a period of ceasefire, isn't it, Miriam? But it's far from that. We believe that ceasefire was only for Beirut. They are bombing the south and demolishing everything in the south. I can't imagine how this is being acceptable. Nobody is saying anything. Even the government is not saying anything. A whole life is being demolished. Sur, Nabatiya are under threat. It's beyond something that we can imagine.

534.952 - 561.462 Unknown

That was Miriam, a resident of Beirut, speaking to Rajini Vaidjanathan. Meanwhile, with no signs of a breakthrough for a peace deal between the US and Iran over the weekend, both sides have exchanged fire. The US Central Command said it launched what it called self-defense strikes in response to aggressive Iranian actions, which it said included a US drone being shot down over international waters.

561.462 - 586.218 Unknown

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted an air base used by U.S. forces for an attack on southern Iran, but didn't say where. Kuwait said earlier that its air defenses were dealing with a drone and missile attack. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Bagayi accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire and said negotiations did not include Iran's nuclear program.

Chapter 5: How is the international community reacting to Israel's military actions?

586.606 - 603.869 Yolan Nell

We know when it's necessary to act on nuclear matters. No negotiations have taken place on the details of the nuclear file. At this stage our priority is ending the war. Our Middle East correspondent Yolan Nell gave me more details.

604.544 - 632.911 Lisa Jasko

Well, this is more strain on the two-month-old ceasefire. The U.S. saying that it struck Iranian radar and drone sites in the city of Gorok and on the island of Kashim at the weekend. And these are two locations that are basically in and on the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. saying more specifically it hit Iranian air defenses, a ground control station, and two Iranian drones that it said were threatening shipping. And the language it's used in this statement by U.S. Central Command, it's quite similar to what we heard last week.

632.911 - 661.852 Lisa Jasko

when there was also talk about U.S. actions against Iran in self-defense. Now Iran's Revolutionary Guard said they targeted a U.S. airbase in response to this, saying this is where the U.S. forces had launched an attack from against Iran. And Kuwait came out saying that it had sirens sounding across the country and that it was intercepting missile and drone attacks. There was also in the statement that came from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard what was being reported in Kuwait,

661.852 - 688.261 Lisa Jasko

Iranian media, they said, if the aggression is repeated, the response will be completely different in scale and nature. And that responsibility will be with the US. So now it's the third time in the space of the week we've had such news of an exchange. And this just adds to the concerns that it could lead to a more serious escalation. And that could really jeopardize the efforts to secure a longer term ceasefire, a full end to the war.

688.43 - 716.797 Lisa Jasko

Speaking about a full end to the war, US media are reporting that President Trump has asked for more changes to this Iranian peace proposal. Do we know what those are? Nothing has been confirmed by the White House at this point, but US sources have been saying in general that the two sides are getting closer to this memorandum of understanding with Iran. Donald Trump has been on Truth Social this morning saying he's very close to a very good deal.

716.797 - 755.322 Lisa Jasko

But the reports in the US media are saying that he's pushing for tougher terms. And what we understand is that this deal that's been proposed, there would be in this memorandum of understanding, it would go towards unrestricted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran. Kiitos. Kiitos.

755.322 - 774.745 Lisa Jasko

President Trump has really been looking to strengthen that language around the nuclear program in Iran. What the US is really ultimately looking for is to have Iran dispose of its enriched uranium stockpile and to prevent Iran from carrying out further nuclear enrichment.

775.133 - 802.505 Unknown

That was Yolan Nell. And we'll have more on this story on our YouTube channel. Search for BBC News on YouTube and you'll find the Global News podcast in the podcast section. There's a new story available every weekday. Ten years after the death of their daughter from a food allergy, the parents of Natasha Ednan Laparouse from the UK have launched a new research prize in her name worth $13.5 million.

802.505 - 828.965 Unknown

The 15-year-old died after eating a sandwich bought from a popular chain, which contained sesame seeds, which were not listed or visible. Since then, her parents have successfully campaigned for a change in the law to mean all such foods in Britain have to be labelled with allergens clearly highlighted. Now they want to fund research into why more and more people, especially children, are developing allergies to common foods. Alice Adderley reports.

Chapter 6: What initiatives are being launched to address food allergies?

1001.663 - 1029.929 Unknown

This is the Global News Podcast. In recent years, Russia has been using a so-called shadow fleet of tankers in order to evade international sanctions on its oil exports that were put in place after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. So far, more than a dozen ships have been boarded and detained by other countries, including Britain and the US. On Sunday, the French Navy stopped and boarded another oil tanker.

1029.929 - 1042.653 Unknown

The French president Emmanuel Macron said it was unacceptable for ships to circumvent international sanctions and fund Russia's war against Ukraine. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the action.

0

1043.075 - 1068.303 Benjamin Netanyahu

We consider such actions to be illegal. They border on international piracy. We strongly disagree that they are being carried out in full compliance with international law. As you know, Russia is taking a number of measures to ensure the safety of its cargo and will continue to do so.

1068.556 - 1083.895 Charlotte Gallagher

There's a statement from Macron himself and from the maritime authorities. They said the ship was detained or stopped a long way out at sea, 750 kilometers off the coast of Brittany, so way out in the Atlantic. It was going apparently from Murmansk, that's the Russian oil port in the Arctic region.

1083.895 - 1106.828 Charlotte Gallagher

Ympäri British Isles and going down to the coast of West Africa to Cameroon, where it seems this ship, called the Tagor, was officially registered. Now, in the background we all know the accusation is that Russia operates this fleet of tankers, often old tankers, which it bought up when the sanctions started to hit. And in order to evade sanctions, they operate under all sorts of flags of convenience.

Chapter 7: Are social media influencers becoming too intrusive in public spaces?

1106.828 - 1136.123 Charlotte Gallagher

and all sorts of elaborate kind of management devices. But these ships, or many of these ships, are tracked. The intelligence services of Britain, France, the US know of these ships. They keep an eye on them. And when necessary, like now, or when they deem it necessary, like now, they intervene. So it's far from being the first of these actions. The French have actually done three previous boardings. And the idea is to, well, to reinforce the sanctions and to show that there is action being taken to stop this

mitä he käsittelevät olevan ilimitettävänsä. Mitä tapahtuu laitteeseen ja myös kruun kanssa? Jos presidentti jatketaan, laitteen saadaan takaisin rannalle. Lisää tutkimuksia tulee. Luulen, että russalainen kaveri tulee käsittelemään järjestelmää, joka varmasti päättää järjestelmää. Tällä hetkellä kaveri saattaa mennä kruun kanssa.

Russia have said they're quite angry about this. Have France responded to that at all? Well, I mean, they're not going to respond. I mean, they simply say that what they are doing is in accordance with international maritime law that allows nations even out at sea, outside their own waters to stop ships if they suspect that maritime law is being broken. They suspected here that the maritime law has been broken, that there was a kind of

Ja se on tärkeä kysymys.

That was Hugh Schofield in Paris. To Ukraine now. President Zelensky says his government has evidence that Russia is abducting Ukrainian children and then training them to fight against fellow Ukrainians. He made the comments while speaking to our US news partners, CBS News.

1252.898 - 1274.617 Benjamin Netanyahu

Kyllä. Meillä on näkökulma siitä. He opettivat lapsia, että he välttävät kansainvälisiä, välttävät kansainvälisiä ihmisiä. Voitko kuvitella, että näitä nuoria ukrainoja, nuoria lapsia, tulevat battlefieldiin ja matkaisevat ukrainoja?

1274.617 - 1284.455 Nadim Ednan-Laparouse

a practical way of disinformation of Russia, how they use all the instruments to kill Ukrainians and how to use children.

1285.67 - 1315.657 Unknown

President Zelensky says Ukraine has documented the abduction of at least 20,000 Ukrainian children and wants help tracking down what he suspects are even higher numbers. The accusation goes beyond previously documented evidence that Russia has taken thousands of Ukrainian children for re-education in Russia in a state-sponsored program. Lisa Jasko is a member of Ukraine's parliament for the governing servant of the People Party. Virginia Vajanathan asked what evidence Kyiv has.
