This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
Olen Alex Ritson ja 16 kuukautta GMT. Tänä päivänä 24. maa. Nämä ovat meidän suurimmat tarinamme. Toivottavasti deeskalointi jäljellä raportoidaan, että negotiaatiotiimit, joilla on erityinen envoi Steve Witkoff ja vicepresidentti J.D. Vance, voivat tapahtua iranian jäsenet tänä päivänä Pakistanissa. Sen jälkeen maa jatkuu.
Iranian media say Israeli-US strikes targeted two gas facilities and a pipeline in the country, hours after President Trump said he would temporarily halt attacks on power infrastructure. Oil prices have risen again, with the barrel of Brent crude going above $100.
Also in this podcast, US designs on Greenland hang over Prime Minister Meta Fredriksson on polling day in Denmark. This Trump bump over her leadership in Greenland is something that she hopes will help hand her victory as she seeks a third term. And the US pays French energy giant Total almost a billion dollars not to build a wind farm.
A day on from President Trump's announcement that attacks on Iranian power plants were being put on hold and that big progress was being made on a deal to end the war with Iran. We're no clearer about what that amounts to. It's rumored that the US Vice President J.D. Vance and Mr. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff could travel to Pakistan to meet Iranian officials this week.
but there's been nothing concrete from either side. Meanwhile, Iranian state media say Israeli-US strikes have targeted two gas facilities and a pipeline in Iran. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue attacking the country. His defense minister Israel Katz has said Israeli forces will take control of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River until the threat from Iran's ally Hezbollah is gone.
Iran has fired further missiles into Israel, including Tel Aviv. In Iran a replacement for the experienced Ali Larijani, who was killed by an Israeli strike last week, has been named. Mohammad Bagher Zolkada is a Revolutionary Guards insider. I asked our diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams what we know about moves to end the conflict.

Chapter 2: How is President Trump's peace plan affecting global markets?
Ja lyhyesti, mitä voit kertoa meille Iranin uuden turvallisuuden puolustajan kanssa?
He was involved with the Basij, the voluntary militia. I think the fact that he is now the head of the National Security Council is a sign that the hardliners are still in charge, that the IRGC is still calling the shots, and that as far as Tehran is concerned, this is all about displaying some kind of stability and continuity.
President Trump's comments about possible talks with Iran merely a ploy to calm the markets, which have been in chaos since war began. If that was his aim, it doesn't seem to have worked. The price of Brent crude oil rose back above $100 a barrel after plunging on Monday.
Speaking during a trade visit to Australia, the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said the soaring gas and oil prices and stock market falls threatened global stability and the hostilities must end.
The situation is critical for the energy supplies worldwide. We all feel the knock-on effects on gas and oil prices, our businesses and our societies. But it is of utmost importance that we come to a solution that is negotiated and this puts an end to the hostilities that we see in the Middle East. So did President Trump's talk of a peace deal reassure investors? I asked our business correspondent in Singapore, Nick Marsh.
Well, it did reassure them initially when he posted on his social media on Monday morning US time that they'd be postponing bombing these energy facilities. The price of oil slid pretty quickly. It went down in the case of Brent Cruter below $100 a barrel. So that was good from his point of view. That meant the stock market bounced and things were looking a bit more optimistic.
Kiitos. Kiitos. Kiitos. Kiitos. Iran on huolehtimassa Hormuunin rannalla, miljoonat rannat öljyä ja vettä eivät mene koko ajan asioihin. Esimerkiksi asiantuntijat ja markkinoiden ihmiset ovat hieman yllättyneitä, mutta samalla miettivät, että
Nothing has changed in a material sense. And accordingly, the price of oil has started to creep back up again. And the gains we saw in Asian markets this morning off the back of the US ones were sort of eroded as well. So it's a little bit of as you were. Nick, we've been hearing some reports that there are traders making some very big bets in the oil market ahead of Donald Trump's social media post. What do you know about this? Well, I've been looking at that data. I mean, they did make big bets there.
Miksi he tekevät näitä kohtia on erilaista asiaa, mutta kyllä, miljoonien miljoonien dollarit olivat laittaneet Oilun tulevaisuuden kontrakteihin noin 15 minuuttia ennen kuin Donald Trump teki uudistuksen sosiaalisessa mediassa, jossa oli puhuttu, ja jossa oli mahdollista loppua sotilaalle, mikä vaikuttaa vahvasti öljyprosenttiin.

Chapter 3: What challenges are pregnant women facing in Cuba during the oil blockade?
Jai Hirani from Kenya's Primorosa Flowers. Despite the possibility of talks between Washington and Tehran, the bombing of Iran continues. International correspondent Joe Inwood has collated, along with the BBC's Persian service, some of the latest material to make its way out of the country.
Onko se itse asiakas? Onko se itse asiakas? En tiedä, missä se on. Mutta joskus ei tarvitse ymmärtää kieltä, jotta ymmärtää sen tarkoituksen. Voi! Voi! Voi! Voi! Voi! Voi! Tämä on Teheranin ilmaisu, joka on kuvattu pöytäpöytässä. Ja noin 24 tuntia sitten oli todella vaikea, että ilmaisu olisi jotain, jota Iranin ihmiset olisivat olleet useitaan.
President Trump threatened punitive strikes against the country's power plants if the effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz was not ended. It was the main subject people contacted the BBC's Persian service to discuss. And so, when that threat was lifted, the relief was clear.
Last night I was so scared about that power plant that I stayed up late just listening to music and thinking about all the films I've always wanted to watch. And just everything I wanted to do. Basically when 99% of them needed electricity. But the lifting of the threat to power plants did not mean it was a peaceful day in Tehran.
Yksi miehiä, joilla on rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa rauhassa
On state TV, the anchor reads a message from the Speaker of Parliament. Our people demand the complete and humiliating punishment of the aggressors, it says. Donald Trump has claimed that negotiations are underway at Iran's request. They have denied that, and nothing coming out of Tehran suggests they are in the mood to compromise. It's a fact not lost on a man who once again got in contact with the BBC's Persian service.
Luulen, että tämä olisi erittäin kalliikkaa iranian ihmisille. Jos Islanti pysyy tai huomaa, että se on lausukkia, se lisää iranian ihmisille kustannuksen niin paljon kuin mahdollista. Välissä on airstriikki, ja nainen kulttuurissaan on auttanut kaksi rauhassa työntekijää. Hän pysyy, ja sitten pysyy naisen arvossa.
Heidän takanaan on jo tehty rauhallisuusoperaatiota. Heavaa maatilannetta, joka yrittää tukea haastatteluun. Mutta se ei ole mitään verrattuna diplomatiikkalaisuuteen eteenpäin, jossa on jäänyt rauhassa, jossa on jäänyt rauhassa. Joo, inward.

Chapter 4: How are Danish elections influenced by Trump's foreign policy?
We're partnering with Total Energies to unleash nearly $1 billion that was tied up in a lease deposit that was directed towards the prior administration's subsidies that were pushing expensive weather-dependent offshore wind. With this agreement, we're allowing this great company to redirect those dollars that have been paid into the treasury towards affordable, reliable and secure oil and natural gas production investments.
Here's our environment correspondent, Matt McGrath. I think, Alex, if you look at what Doug Burgum, the US Interior Secretary, said in his comments there, one of the key words was the word secure. And security, national security, is an element that the Trump administration has tried to use against wind energy. President Trump's antipathy towards wind has long been known.
Famously in 2012 gave evidence against a wind farm off his golf course in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. And he has in his presidency tried to essentially move the country away from wind. And they tried last year to shut down five wind farms on the grounds of national security. And they issued stop work orders, but those orders were thrown out by the courts. This new tactic now seems to be to go to the companies and offer to pay them back the money they've spent on leases, which they got under the Biden administration.
He've done that with Total, and they're going to pay them back $928 million. In return, Total are scrapping the leases. They're also committing not to build any other wind in North America, and also to invest in liquid natural gas and gas plants in Texas. And according to Total, the company, they said it's a win-win situation for them. They say it's a pragmatic decision. They've changed their mind on the importance of wind since President Trump came to office.
They're not renouncing onshore wind, but they think offshore wind is too expensive to make electricity from. Is the US an outlier in this respect, though? Surely the trend in many countries is towards renewables. Kyllä, hyvin paljon. Ja kuten Emberin kertoisi aiemmin, ratkaisut osoittavat, että viime vuonna kohdallaan kohdallaan kohdallaan kohdallaan kohdallaan kohdallaan
But it does depend on where you are. Very much developing countries have embraced renewables very much. So China is racing ahead with renewables while also building a lot of coal. And countries like the United States are essentially also looking at going back to coal in some respects. And we've seen that from the President Trump's administration. A greater emphasis on trying to make the Department of Defense buy electricity from coal-fired stations to enhance the life of these particular assets. So very much a different picture from different parts of the world on this issue.
Very briefly though, away from the environmental arguments, do they have a point? I mean their own gas is presumably more secure than a lot of things. Well it's a very tough question on the question of gas itself. I mean yes the United States is world leader in producing gas so it's quite a safe supply for them. I think though there's more a political and ideological aspect to the

Matt McGraw. To Cuba now, which has spent most of its weekend without power. The Trump administration's fuel blockade has meant that no oil shipments have reached the country in three months. Some of the worst affected are the elderly, children and pregnant women, with many saying that they've received no state support and are frightened at the prospect of having a baby during a blackout. Our correspondent Will Grant reports from Havana.

Chapter 5: What is the current state of the illegal baby eel trade?
However, conditions for most ordinary Cubans remain near unbearable. And while Maoren says she's been well cared for during her difficult pregnancy, many of the other 32,000 pregnant women on the island say they've had to face these extremely challenging conditions with no tangible support from the state.
Indira Martínez is one of them. Seven months pregnant, she invited me into her home in the middle of a power cut. With no working stove or fridge, her calorific intake has dropped significantly in the last few months of her pregnancy. Her husband is also worried about her stress levels. I haven't received any of the humanitarian aid sent to Cuba.
Minun isäni ja minä emme käyneet tämän syrjinnän ilmaisesti. Olemme tehneet sen, että emme voi luottaa mitään autta hallitukseen. Se on meitä ympäri maailmaa. Toivomme vain, että kaikki toimii oikein. Joten ei, en ole nähnyt mitään ilmaisuutta. Yhtäkkiä syrjinnän syrjinnän syrjinnän syrjinnän syrjinnän syrjinnän syrjinnän
How am I going to tell her she has no prospect in life? Because she won't have any. As much as one would like, as a parent, to offer them a real life and motivate them, I have no basis to tell her that she has a future or can maximize her full intellectual capacity. If I say that, I'll be lying. She'll have no opportunity for growth here. None.
Yhteistyössä Havannassa oli norjan-iirishin rap-ryhmä Nicap. Cuba on vanhempi paikko, hyvin vähäinen luotettavuus ja suuri ympäristö. Islanti tarvitsee enemmän nuoria, jotta on lapsia. Mutta Maurenin lapsi, Juin Days, ja ehkä myös Indira's baby girl, Juin Two Months, on syntynyt krippilöydän kohdalla. Tämä on kuitenkin suurimmat päivät ison historiasta.
I asked her if this was a gamble for Meta.
It does come after months of slumping popularity, actually. And this Trump bump over her leadership in Greenland is something that she hopes will help hand her victory as she seeks a third term. Now, Fredriksson has projected this image of strength and tough leadership. She's earned a reputation as this high lady and certainly punches above her weight for a country of just men.
6 miljoonaa ihmisiä, kun se tulee kansainväliseen tasolle. Hän on yksityiskohtainen yksityiskohtainen Ukraina, russia-kriittinen. Ja tietenkin ihmisoikeuksia, joita hän on hyvin raskasta. Ja hän on kutsunut vahvemmin Eurooppaan. Mutta täällä Denmarkissa on todella paljon keskustelua niiden asioiden kanssa. Ja hän on paljon vahvempi kotona. Joten muuten kuin geopolitiikkaa, se on itse asiassa omistajien asioita, jotka ovat vahvistamassa täällä kampanjaa.
Se on elämänkustannukset, perusreformit ja vaikka pikkuproduktiota ja poliittisia ruokavuotoja, jotka ovat kaikki olleet keskustelussa. Ja siltä, että hän on ollut sentristi-yhdistelmässä, joka on käsitellyt keskustelua, ja hän on aloittanut itseänsä oikealla puolella ja sentristiparttiin,

Chapter 6: How is the US government impacting renewable energy projects?
He says they're ready. The Asian eel, which used to stock Chinese farms, is also scarce. So demand for European eels exploded. There are no legal routes, so the underground trade is flourishing. So here we talk about one of the biggest wildlife crimes in the world in terms of animals trafficked as well as fraud value.
Koulutus Florian Stein suosittelee järjestöjä ilmastonmuutoksesta. Elvät ovat pakkaneet suhtaukset ja tarkistaneet, että heillä on kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää kestävää
He explains what they do after they collect the suitcases from the airport. The big ships are waiting with the facilities to keep the eels alive. They transport them to China. We use speed boats or other small boats.
There are thousands of eel farms in China. Once fattened, processed and killed, they could end up anywhere in the world. Gang members told the BBC, though smuggling eels is as lucrative as cocaine, the penalties if you are caught are far lighter.
