World of Secrets, the child cancer scam from the BBC World Service. Listen now wherever you get your BBC podcasts. This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Alex Ritson, and in the early hours of Saturday, the 27th of December, these are our main stories. Thailand and Cambodia agree to an immediate ceasefire in their deadly border dispute. President Trump has claimed that the Christmas Day strikes he ordered on Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria decimated their camps. Meanwhile, the US leader also says he believes his upcoming meeting with Ukraine's President Zelensky could be productive. but warned that Kyiv would get nothing until he approved it. Also in this podcast... I'm against hijab, have always been, especially compulsory hijab, but I never saw myself as an activist.
How could you remain silent after Mahsa Amini's death? Top Iranian actress Tarana Ali-Dustri tells the BBC she won't wear a hijab on screen ever again. Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate ceasefire three weeks after their long-running cross-border dispute flared up again. More than 40 people have died and around a million civilians have been displaced. The fatalities on the Thai side were mainly soldiers, while in Cambodia they were mostly civilians. Phnom Penh hasn't officially said that any of its soldiers were killed. A joint statement has been signed by the country's defence ministers. The ceasefire is meant to have taken effect around now. Shortly before we recorded this podcast, I spoke to the BBC Thai service's Panisa Imoka in Bangkok.
So at the moment, after 20 days of the new routes of confrontation between Thailand and Cambodia, both sides agree to stay exactly where they are. There will be no moving forward, no reinforcement and no new patrols toward each other's line. And also this will allow almost a million people from both sides of the borders area to go back to their home. It is important to note that both of the countries also agree that after three days of the peace agreement, The 18 Cambodian soldiers who are currently held in custody in Thailand will be sent home. We've kind of been here before, though, haven't we? There were clashes earlier this year and there was a first ceasefire. Can this one actually hold?
We can't tell that for certain.
We have seen, as we already mentioned, that the ceasefire in July was broken. And also with the Kuala Lumpur joint decorations where the U.S. President Donald Trump was there, along with the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was also there. And it was also broken as well. But what we've seen is the Thai side this time, they're very assertive. And it seems that at the moment they can agree. And we also have the conditions of the 18 Cambodian soldiers to be returned back. So at the moment, it is promising with the term and the condition. Panisa, how deep is the enmity between Thailand and Cambodia now? With this new route of disputes, it actually affects a lot of people in the border. We have actually interviewed a lot of people in the borders and we have to understand that these borders area in the past before the dispute or even back in 10 years ago when there were disputes as well, people were still living together as villagers.
