I'm Pete Ross and at 15 hours GMT on Friday the 8th of May, these are our main stories. The UK's two main political parties suffer huge losses in local elections as the populist right-wing Reform UK party surges ahead. South Africa's president Cyril Ramaphosa faces calls to resign after a court rules he'll be investigated over the theft of more than half a million dollars.

The WHO says efforts are underway to trace anyone who disembarked from a cruise ship before an outbreak of hantavirus was detected. Also in this podcast... End-to-end encryption is one of the key ways in which children can keep themselves safe online. We're worried that Meta are perhaps caving to government pressure. Privacy groups express concern after Instagram turns off end-to-end encryption for direct messages in a major U-turn by parent company Meta.

Here in the UK, polls have suggested for some time surging popularity for right-wing populism. Commentators suggest there are a number of reasons for this, including the cost of living crisis and the stagnation of living standards that's brought, as well as the breakdown of social cohesion and anger and disillusionment towards politicians. It's a pattern that's been seen across Europe and the US.

and now some electoral proof to back up what the polls appeared to be showing. For the first time in decades, early results from UK local elections show huge losses for the main two dominant parties, the current governing Labour Party and the opposition Conservatives. The big winner so far is the populist right-wing Reform UK party, while the centrist Liberal Democrats are also performing strongly, and the populist left-wing Green Party also picking up a number of seats.

The leader of the far-right Reform UK party, Nigel Farage, has been sounding jubilant. Overall what's happened is a truly historic shift in British politics. We've been so used to thinking about politics in terms of left and right, and yet what reform are able to do is to win in areas that have always been conservative, but equally we're proving in a big way we can win in areas that Labour have dominated, frankly, since the end of World War I.

231.455 - 236.247 Pete Ross

To make sense of it all, I heard more from our UK political correspondent Rob Watson.

236.365 - 262.724 Stephen McDonald

So there are three elections. There's local government elections here in England, including in London, and then there are elections to the Scottish and Welsh parliaments. And what we do know from the results already in is that they are totally disastrous for both the governing Labour Party, but also for the Conservatives. And that does seem to suggest that we are at a really seismic moment in British politics, where we are beginning to see

262.724 - 278.198 Stephen McDonald

Jopa pysyvällä tasolla tai ainakin erotellaan kaksi-paikkojen järjestelmää konservatiivisen ja Labourin brittisen poliittisen dominanssin viimeiset 100 vuoden aikana. Ja niin, melkein pivottava momentti, vaikka meillä on vain näitä osa-arvoja. Mitä se tarkoittaa?

278.485 - 307.004 Stephen McDonald

Well, in the short term it is really bad news for Sakhir Starmer, the prime minister and leader of the Labour Party, and already there have been calls for him to resign. And I think the next 72 hours are absolutely vital for the prime minister's survival. He has already come out and said that he is not going to walk away and leave the country in chaos. In other words, he's put out a message to those in the Labour Party who might want to move against him to get rid of him, that he's not going to go quietly. That's

Chapter 3: Why is South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa facing impeachment calls?

864.993 - 881.26 Pete Ross

Koska se on niin kalliikkaa, eikö? Mutta minun mielestäni sinun vain tarvitsee käyttää hieman, mutta itse asiassa Italiassa syötään noin 600 kiloa saffronia joka vuosi. Minun mielestäni miten tärkeää se on italianin kuisiin ja minun mielestäni myös erityisesti sardinianin kuisiin?

0

881.412 - 904.463 Pete Ross

Kyllä, me käytämme paljon saffrona, ja me käytämme saffrona pastaan, pöytään, syötään. Minä tiedän, että se on erittäin kalliikka, koska työllisyys on suuri, ja se on kohdistettu loppuun. Mutta sen kautta se on erityinen, ja me olemme järjestelmä. Ja tämä järjestelmä tulee myös kautta meidän maan kautta.

Joten kaikki, mikä on tuotettu täällä, on tärkeät nutritionaaliset suhteet ja yksilölliset suhteet. Ja kouluunpasta Sardinian saffronin kanssa on mahtavaa. Voinko kysyä sinulle tätä, Simonetta? Jos teet milanaisen risottoa, joka on...

A classic dish and saffron is the main ingredient, the main flavour. Can you tell the difference between a Milanese risotto made with Sardinian saffron and one made with Iranian saffron?

0

937.808 - 963.678 Pete Ross

Oh yeah, it's very different. Really? It's very different. In Italy, the key ingredient in one of the country's most famous dishes, risotto alla milanese. And with saffron from Sardinia, from Italy, this dish is amazing. The colors, very yellow. Risotto alla milanese is authentic only with saffron made in Italy and made in Sardinia for me.

963.678 - 990.02 Unknown

But unfortunately, as you say, Italy needs to import saffron because it doesn't make enough. I mean, it's not the most important, and I know cooking and eating is very important, but it is not the most important, I guess, aspect of this current crisis. I mean, are restaurants having problems more widely? I mean, are prices for all sorts of things having to go up? Not just saffron, but I guess electricity, gas, labor. Are all these things going up at the moment?

990.172 - 1014.117 Pete Ross

I see this import crisis as an opportunity to produce more saffron in Italy and buy more local product and consequently bring even higher quality to our dish, especially the famous risotto alla milanese. Simonetta Basu, who is speaking to James Menendez. Still to come in this podcast...

This is the Global News Podcast. As the cruise ship hit by an outbreak of Hantavirus sails towards Tenerife, World Health Organization officials are racing to draw up guidance for what should happen next for the nearly 150 passengers when they finally reach land at the weekend. The Spanish authorities have said the passengers will be taken ashore, but port workers in Tenerife have been holding a protest over a lack of information ahead of the arrival of the ship.

Lisa Tambanan. To Australia, where three women with alleged links to the so-called Islamic State group have appeared in court after returning home from Syria this week. They're part of a group of 13 women and children who've spent years in a Syrian detention camp because of their links to the jihadist group, but have managed to return thanks to their Australian nationality. Their cases have attracted a lot of political attention. Here's the Australian Prime Minister, Antony Albanese.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for these people. I do have sympathy for the children though, who are victims of decisions that their parents have made. We will work through these issues. It is appropriate that they undergo support. Children who have been subject and exposed to all sorts of horrors in those camps. Our reporter Simon Atkinson is in Sydney and sent this update for us.

All three women who were arrested in Australia when they arrived from Syria have appeared in court on Friday. In one case here in Sydney, Janai Saraf, who is a 32-year-old former healthcare worker, she's accused of terrorism charges, joining Islamic State group.

ja myös syrjinnän kohdalla, jolloin se oli vahvistettu australialaisen hallituksessa. Häneltä tuli tutkija, joka sanoi, että hänet pitäisi lopettaa järjestelmään, kun tämä järjestelmä jatkuu. Hän sanoi, että se voisi tarvita aikaa, ennen kuin se saadaan järjestelmään. Hän sanoi myös, että nämä suomalaiset vahvistukset olivat tapahtuneet melkein kuukauden ajan ajan.

1380.237 - 1401.297 Pete Ross

He also mentioned that she had arrived in Australia with her nine-year-old son. She said this boy was going to have to integrate into Australian life and that it would be very difficult for him to do so even harder without his mum by his side. Ultimately, though, the magistrate decided that bail would not be granted and she will be back in court in around eight weeks.

Toisessa tapauksessa, Melboon, kaksi naisia, isä ja isä, Khasa Ahmed ja isä Zainab, on vahvistettu ihmisyydestä liittyvistä kriiseistä.

are very unusual, the magistrate noted, and it was heard in court that Australia's attorney general had to authorize for these charges to be brought. They'll be back in court in Melbourne on Monday, where they'll make their own application for bail. Remember, the Australian government was very adamant that these women shouldn't come back to Australia with their children from Syria. They said they'd made horrific decisions to join terrorist groups.

1456.023 - 1469.303 Pete Ross

Ja he eivät olleet tervetulleita täällä. Mutta lopulta he ovat australialaiset. Heillä on australialaiset passaportit. Ja lopulta ei ollut kovin paljon, mitä voisi tehdä, jotta heidät pysyisivät täällä. Simon Atkinson Sydney.
