What new travel requirements are being introduced for visitors to the UK?
This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. Hello, I'm Ankur Desai. And in the early hours of Wednesday, the 25th of February, these are our main stories. President Trump has delivered a stridently America first State of the Union address to Congress.
Why are Thai authorities investigating the deaths of tigers at a tourist attraction?
He lavishly praised his own administration's record while attacking that of the Democrats, some of whom walked out and heckled the president during some heated exchanges. At just under two hours, the speech was the longest in history. We'll hear some of the highlights from the speech and get analysis from our correspondent in Washington. Also in this podcast, if you're travelling to the UK, keep listening. As from today, you'll need to apply for a new electronic travel authorisation.
If you apply for a visa, if you're a country that needs to apply for a visa, you've already had pre-authorisation. Up until now, we've not had that.
Elsewhere, authorities in Thailand are investigating the deaths of dozens of tigers at a popular tourist attraction. And... This is an extraordinary golden ram's head, some 20 centimetres across, and it weighs, I think, 1.2 kilos. You'll hear the story of a golden ram's head from Ghana and other stolen artefacts from colonial times which the public are being denied access to.

Donald Trump has delivered the annual State of the Union address.
How did a computer engineer accidentally hack into robot vacuums?
He spoke for nearly two hours, making it the longest such speech in history. The president began by saying his administration had heralded what he called the golden age of America. When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis with a stagnant economy, inflation at record levels, a wide open border. horrendous recruitment for military and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos all over the world. But tonight, after just one year, I can say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before and a turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for the ages.
What controversies surround the golden ram's head looted from Ghana?
And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back.
USA!
USA! USA! USA!

USA!
Thank you. Today, our border is secure. Our spirit is restored. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast.
What are the implications of President Trump's foreign policy claims?
The roaring economy is roaring like never before. And our enemies are scared. Our military and police are stacked. And America is respected again, perhaps like never before. President Trump also touted America's military strength, but said it would seldom have to use this great power, as he chose what he called peace through strength. Our country has never been stronger.
What are the reactions to Trump's address from both Republicans and Democrats?
My first 10 months, I ended eight wars, Cambodia and Thailand. Pakistan and India would have been a nuclear war. Thirty-five million people said the Prime Minister of Pakistan would have died if it were not for my involvement. Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Congo and Rwanda, and, of course, the war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level. It's just about there. And we're working very hard to end the ninth war, the killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where 25,000 soldiers are dying each and every month. Think of that. Twenty-five thousand soldiers are dying a month. A war which would have never happened if I were President. Would have never happened.
As President, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America. wherever we must. That's why in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer. The US military has also been active closer to home, fighting what it alleges are drug traffickers in the Caribbean and Pacific region.
