This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. LähiTapiola, samalla puolella. This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
Olen Alex Ritson, ja viimeisenä viikonloppuna, juni 11, nämä ovat meidän keskustelumme. Yhdysvaltainen sääntö vahvistaa monia tavoitteita Iranissa, jossa presidentti Trumpi käsittelee yksityiskohtaisuutta. FIFA-järjestäjä Gianni Infantino on vahvistellut Football World Cupin organisaatiota alkuperäisellä. Räätäjät ovat vahvistelleet poliisiin toisen päivän jälkeen yhdysvaltainen hotelli Norjan-Irlannissa.
I was foolish to spend time with him. I was one of many people who regret ever knowing him. Bill Gates is grilled by US lawmakers over his connections with the dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The US military has carried out a wave of fresh strikes on Iran after President Trump said American forces would hit the country hard. US Central Command said the attacks had targeted military surveillance capabilities, communications systems and air defense sites across Iran.
Chapter 2: What recent actions did the US take against Iran?
Both sides have been exchanging fire this week after the downing of a US helicopter on Monday. Hours before the latest strikes, President Trump accused Tehran of taking too long to sign a peace deal, while the Iranian foreign ministry accused the US of damaging the diplomatic process through contradictory messages. Mr. Trump's position was echoed by his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth.
As President Trump said, they've been tap, tap, tapping. You can see when someone's trying to tap, tap, tap on a deal. Instead, they're going to have tap, tap, tap bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America. And that's not because we want to restart anything we don't have to restart. It's because we are, the War Department is prepared to set the terms to ensure that we get the kind of deal President Trump expects.
Tehran says it responded to the latest attacks by launching strikes of its own and has declared the Strait of Hormuz completely closed to all vessels following the US strikes. The latest tit-for-tat attacks leave the fragile ceasefire that's been in place since early April hanging in the balance. I heard more from our correspondent in Washington, Thomas Morgan.
You mentioned that the US say that they've concluded their attacks, but we understand that the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, have responded by attacking US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, describing it as punishment for the attacks early in the evening in southern attack. Now the US Central Command said the strikes tonight were due to the unwarranted and continued aggression shown by Iran. As I mentioned, they responded
Chapter 3: How did Iran respond to the US airstrikes?
were striking areas in the southern area of the country near the Strait of Hormuz, targeting coastal posts and police command, but also areas around Tehran as well, really. You heard a clip there from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth
He also said that if they needed to negotiate with bombs, they would negotiate with bombs, the US, and that's certainly what has happened tonight. I think we're in this constant state of back and forth, really, not only in terms of who shoots first, but also a war of words, especially on social media. Who did attack first? Who hasn't attacked? I mean, earlier this evening, Iran had said that they'd attacked a US warship, and the Strait of Hormuz was completely closed.
Then the US Central Command issued posts on social media saying that in fact none of their warships had been fired upon. And the strait was open to commercial ships as long as they weren't going in and out of Iran. Clearly trying to posture and say, look, we are in control here. I think in reality...
Yhdysvallat ovat halunneet, että tehtävä on tehty. Presidentin Trumpi on halunnut, että tehtävä on tehty. Hän kertoo, että tehtävä on kohtuullinen, mutta tiedot eivät näytä niin paljon, kuten nämä väärät eskilaat ovat tapahtuneet jokaisen päivän jälkeen.
I think the question for Donald Trump is, how long is he going to continue like this? Well, he might have to continue until the Iranians give in, and they certainly haven't shown any sign of that. But the pressure is on him, because not only in terms of trying to make sure that he can step up to Iran, but also at home here. The cost of living is rising at its fastest rate here in three years. Gas prices are high, and opinion polls are suggesting that large swathes of the population in the U.S.
Agree that this conflict has not been a good thing. You mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, is it open, is it closed? And also the president's talk of a secret mission to ferry millions of barrels of oil out past Iran.
He kind of mentioned this almost in passing and then put a post out on Truth Social earlier today, kind of declaring, oh, this is amazing, I need to let everyone know what we've done. I instructed my military to secretly get 100 million barrels of oil out and they've done that. This is great for the economy, this is great for the world.
Ja se on vaikea varmistaa, onko se oikeastaan tapahtunut tai ei. Mutta luulen, että se tuntuu taas pressuun, jota Donald Trump on täällä. In the US, although he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of it, that really inflation is high, gas prices are high, and he wants to show some positivity from this conflict.
Thomas Morgan. The biggest men's football world cup in history kicks off on Thursday. 48 teams are taking part in the tournament across the US, Canada and Mexico. But the build-up has been shrouded in controversy. It's organized by football's world governing body FIFA. On Wednesday its president Gianni Infantino defended his handling of controversies including FIFA revoking the ticket allocation for Iranian fans.

Chapter 4: What controversies surrounded the FIFA World Cup preparations?
Dan Rowan in Mexico City. What was Bill Gates' relationship with the dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein? That is what the members of a congressional committee in Washington wanted to ask the billionaire Microsoft founder, who arrived on Capitol Hill for questioning on Wednesday.
Olen iloinen, että olen täällä valitettavasti, jotta voin huomioida ja auttaa komitean työtä. Aloitan alkuperäisessä puheenvuorossa. Toivon, että minun huomiooni on hyödyllistä komitean tärkeästä työtä, jotta voimme löytää justiota vihdoin.
Mr. Gates, one of the world's richest men, was appearing before the House Oversight Committee. Charlotte Gallagher asked our North America correspondent Bernt de Boosman what else Mr. Gates had said. He certainly at least appeared apologetic in that opening statement. He said he believes he should have never met Epstein in the first place, but that he never witnessed any sort of criminal conduct or saw any of the victimizations that we now know that Epstein was involved with.
Gatessa on ollut paljon kysymyksiä, jotka aloittivat hyvin myöhemmin, kun Epstein oli jo syntynyt. Hän oli yrittänyt yhteyttä yhdessä ihmiselle, joka ajatteli, että hän voisi lisätä yrityksensä tehtävänsä, ja mahdollisesti yhteyttä hänelle mahdollisimman hyödyntäjille. Tällä hetkellä on tullut paljon huomattavaa tietoa siitä, mitä on tapahtunut.
Gates on huomannut esimerkiksi, että Epstein oli tietoinen infidelitystä hänen matkansa, jota hän on huomannut. Hän käyttää sitä, jotta hän pystyy vaikuttamaan itselleen. Mutta tietenkin on joitain erittäin tanssia kysymyksiä Epstein-kirjoissa. Esimerkiksi on kuvat, joissa Gates on tunnettu unidentified woman, ja järjestelmät, joissa on erilaisia arvoja Mr. Gatesista. Esimerkiksi, että hän oli saanut STI-kysymyksen naiselle.
something that Gates has denied, but certainly there is enough questions about that relationship to have made the meeting really quite tense.
And who's on the committee and what is their remit? The committee has 47 members, 26 of whom are Republicans and 21 of whom are Democrats. The House resolution, which started all these hearings, directed it to look specifically into how the government handled the Epstein case, how it was managed and how the files were released. Of course, they were legally mandated to release those files, but there's been quite a lot of controversy at that point.
Mutta myös tärkeintä, se oli katsottava Epsteinin ystäviä ja siitä, millaisia kuvia hänellä oli yhteydessä, jopa monia suurta profiilia. Komitea ei todennäköisesti saada yhdessä yhteyttä. Se on järjestetty republikaanin James Comerin kanssa. Ranking-demokraattinen on Robert Garcia. Nämä kaksi ovat soittaneet todella järjestelmällisesti tutkimuksen ja kuvaamisen aikana. Garcia on todennäköisesti pysynyt siihen, että se olisi paljon agressiivisempi.
Bill Gates denying any wrongdoing, but of course there is reputational damage even appearing at one of these hearings and being linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Running battles between police and rioters in Belfast are usually associated with the troubles in Northern Ireland, the violence between Protestant and Catholic communities. But immigration was the spark for the current wave. The unrest was triggered by the stabbing in Belfast of Stephen Ogilvie, who lost his left eye when he was attacked. Hadi Alodid, originally from Sudan, has been charged with attempted murder.
Mr. Ogilvie's family said the attack should not be used to divide people or fuel hostility. Their plea for calm hasn't stopped the unrest. It wasn't as widespread as Tuesday night, but the events have nevertheless been distressing for these people in Belfast. There's a terrible hush over the whole city. It is very depressing. It is very sad. What happened to that poor man was absolutely disgusting. But what's going on now, there's absolutely no need for it whatsoever.
It's terrible. Terrible atmosphere. I don't know what's going on. The buses and all are off. It's scary. It's bizarre. It just happened and the whole city shuts down.
Tämä kuulostaa minulle huonollisista aiemmista aikoista. Niin kuin konflikti Suomessa? Kyllä, näitä asioita tapahtui aiemmin. Kaupungit loppuivat, ihmiset menivät kotiin. which they fear could come under attack. She says that around 150 people are now in a church building, and they remain very frightened.
We went into the houses and evacuated the families because we were on the phone with the families and they were terrified. They were knocking themselves in the bathroom because petrol bombs were thrown into the houses. We had to go in and evacuate them. Most of the families were Sudanese. They were terrified. Kids were crying. Women were crying. These are people who recently fled the war in Sudan. They are seeing the same things again and living the same experience.

Chapter 6: What sparked the recent unrest in Northern Ireland?
My Annie Jones. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Barcelona on Wednesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of the Catalan architect and designer Anthony Gaudi. The celebrations included a special mass by Pope Leo at Gaudi's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia Basilica, which is the world's tallest church.
Pope blessed the recently completed tower of Jesus Christ at 172.5 meters, the Sagrada Familia's highest spire, and lit a candle at the tomb of Antoni Gaudi. This church is a single building made of many stones. A house that grows steadily over the years.
Stephen Bergen, a freelance journalist in Spain, told James Menendez that the completion of the spire is a significant development for the Sagrada Familia and the city.
Minä olisin soittanut, jos olisin sanonut, että tässä on ollut suuri ilmaisuus. Tietysti kaikkien palvelu on iso tapa, ja se on soittanut. En ole tuntenut, että tuhansia ihmisiä...
Se oli noin 70 000 henkilöä, joka oli yllättävää, mutta vain muutama viikko sitten 650 000 henkilöä tuli kiittämään Barcelona Football Clubin vahvistamista. Tämä ei ole suurin piirtein perinteinen kaupungin.
Well, that also says something about modern priorities, doesn't it? The pope blessed the tower. I mean, that's the completion of one stage of the cathedral. I mean, this has been a real saga, hasn't it? Well, I think it's a major stage in terms of what you will see of the building.
In terms of the skyline, it's reached its maximum height. The change has actually, I think, in the last few months been quite dramatic. You now see the Sagrada Familia from all sorts of points of the city where you perhaps didn't notice it before. So work in progress is probably at least another 10 years left to finish one of the facades, and there are other things to do. But I think, as somebody described it, it's the icon of the city. I think in that respect, it's complete. It's not getting any taller.
Why is it considered the sort of pinnacle of Gaudi's work? Well, I suppose because that's what he felt. I mean, he made all sorts of extraordinary buildings, not only in Barcelona, although most of them are here, apartment buildings for wealthy people. But, you know, he was always very devout. And once he got going on this project, it became the thing that he devoted the last 15 years of his life to. And
He did very little other work and it was also on a scale that was quite different from building an apartment. And that's all from us for now.
