Olen Janet Jalil ja huomenna 14.1. nämä ovat meidän mainitsemat. President Trump huomaa hyvin vahvaa toimintaa, jos iranilainen hallitus alkaa pysähtyä protesteista, kun Yhdysvallat haluaa, että ihmiset pysyvät Iraniin. 26-vuotias iranilainen ihminen sanoo, että hän on tullut tehtyä pian, vähemmän kuin viikon jälkeen, kun hän oli pysynyt protesteissa.
We look at the latest on the Trump administration's plans to take over Greenland. A new data from climate scientists says 2025 was one of the warmest years ever on record. Also in this podcast, fans of BTS are getting ready to rumble. Maailman suurin k-pop-yhtiö kuulostaa maailman ympärillä 80 päivää, melkein.
All eyes are on the White House to see what action President Trump will take against Iran in response to verified images of protesters being moaned down by security forces firing automatic weapons and reports of thousands killed. After days of threatening military action, Mr. Trump has given what many see as his strongest warning yet that the US could intervene in Iran.
US president told the BBC's partner CBS News that he would take quote very strong action if the Iranian government started hanging protesters. I haven't heard about the hanging. If they hang them, you're going to see some things that I don't know where you come from and what your thought process is, but you'll perhaps be very happy.
Mitä haluat sanoa siitä? Meillä on hyvin vahva toiminta, jos he tekevät jotain niin vahvaa toimintaa. Ja tämä vahva toiminta, jota puhutaan, mikä on loppujenkaan? Loppujenkaan on voittaa. Mä tykkään voittaa. Miten sä määrittelet tätä Iranissa? No, mä määrittelen sen Venäjällä. Mä määrittelen sen Al-Baghdadissa, jossa hän oli vahvistettu. Mä määrittelen sen Salomeenissa. Ja mä määrittelen sen Iranissa, jossa he vahvistivat Iranin nukleusvaikutuksen.
Noin 15 minuuttia, kun B-2 on saapunut. Meidän ei halua nähdä, mitä tapahtuu, kun Iran tapahtuu. Ja jos he haluavat protestaatiota, se on yksi asia. Kun he aloittavat matkustamaan tuhansia ihmisiä, ja nyt minulle sanot, että he pysyvät. Me näemme, miten se toimii heidän kanssaan. Se ei toimia hyvin.
Mr. Trump has been holding talks with security officials to discuss possible courses of action. The US has again urged its citizens in Iran to leave. Our North America correspondent Peter Bowes told me more.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the US's military options in Iran?
Donald Trump is sounding very serious about a US response. We're hearing about the numbers of deaths on the streets, possibly 2,000, and I think this is something the president, he indicated this on his flight back to Washington just a couple of hours ago, that he is looking at very closely to try to get some precise numbers.
One sign that a US response is imminent came just a few hours ago, you've just referred to it, the US State Department repeating a message that it sent out on Monday telling its citizens in Iran if safe to do so to consider departing the country by land to Armenia or Turkey on Monday.
Or this message goes on, find a secure location inside their own building and make sure they have food supplies with them. They're told to monitor local media for breaking news, be prepared to adjust their plans to keep their phones charged, maintain communication with family and friends. So these are ominous signs, some might say positive signs, that the US is planning a significant intervention. What kind of intervention could that be? What are the options?
Well, we've heard, locked and loaded, this is what he said quite a few days ago now, ready to go. There are many options on the table from military to anomic. The US could launch airstrikes against military sites or Iran's nuclear program. President, we just heard him refer to what happened last summer, the B-2 stealth bombers that flew 30-hour round-trip missions from an Air Force base in Missouri to drop bombs on two soldiers.
Iranin tärkeimmistä nukleusasioista. Luulen, että presidentti miettii sitä. Yhdysvallat voivat painottaa asioita Iranin regiimistä, jotka ovat vastaavissa nykyiseen repressioon. Yhdysvallat voivat käyttää enemmän kovertia metodeja, kuten cyberoperaatioita. Kiitos paljon.
Peter Bowes, the latest warning from Mr. Trump came after the family of a 26-year-old Iranian man, who was arrested less than a week ago for taking part in the protests that have swept Iran, said they'd been told that he's due to be executed sometime today. Irfan Soltani's family say that after his arrest on Thursday, he was put on trial at the weekend, they don't know on what charges,
and that they've been told that the decision to execute him is final. There is no appeal. Avi Arsheki from the Hengor Organization for Human Rights says the rushed execution is clearly designed to deter further demonstrations. We have received information that he was arrested on 8th of January, and four days after his arrest the family received information that their son has received this sentence.
The authorities declaring what was his charge and when his trial took place. We have never seen anything like that, any case to be pursued this quickly and somewhat received a death sentence in this short time.
It's feared that Erfan Soltani's death sentence could be the first of many following Iran's brutal crackdown on the street protests. A US-based human rights group says it's confirmed more than 2,000 people have been killed in the past two weeks, many of them in the past few days under the cover of a communications blackout.

Chapter 3: How has the Iranian government responded to recent protests?
Images show open-air morgues with hundreds of body bags and wailing relatives. Unusually, Iranian officials have been quoted as confirming 2,000 deaths. Some Iranians have now been able to make contact with the outside world to describe the massacres they've seen. These messages have been voiced by actors.
Kertoisitte yleisölle, että ei ole enää yleisöä ihmisyyttä. Kertoisitte heille, että ei ole välttämättä, jos joku on vanha tai lapsi. Heidän näkökulmastaan kaikki ovat teröristit. On monia plain-closed security forces in unmarked private cars. Viisi ihmisiä asuvat sisällä. Kaikki käyvät maskeja. Se on sellaista huomioitavaa. Silloin oli myös uudistus, että moni huonosti huonosti huonosti huonosti huonosti.
Kasher Junaidi on meidän BBC Persian-korrespondentti Washingtonissa. Hän kertoi minulle enemmän huomattavista kuvioista, jotka ovat tullut Iranista. Nyt joitain kuvia on alkanut lähettää Iranin ulkopuolelta. Meillä oli syrjintä ja emme tiedä, mitä tapahtui. Nyt kuvia, joita näemme, ovat horrifikoita. Kuvia morgista, joilla on kymmeniä syrjintäväriä. Se on ollut hyvin pahaa. Eikä kukaan odottaa, että tämä tapahtuu.
Tämä hallitus on ollut hirveässä protesteissa aiemmissa vuosissa, mutta tällä hetkellä, koska se näyttää olevan parempi kuin aiemmin, hallitus itse antaa 2000 ihmistä, joita on tullut. He yleensä antavat vähemmän numeroja, joten voit ajatella, että numero on parempi kuin se.
And we're hearing that a 26-year-old man who was only arrested last Thursday is due to be executed in a few hours time. There is no way you could have a proper judicial process and have such a strong sentence in less than a week. This person, Erfan Soltani, was arrested on Thursday in Karaj, near Tehran. He was sentenced to death on Sunday. His family has been informed that he's going to be
The regime has done this before. During the Masa Amini protests, they did the same. And the big fear is there could be more death sentences like this. So what's happened to the protests with all these people killed, thousands more arrested? Are they over now after all this bloodshed? I believe it's too early to say it's over. We still don't know. Still we have a blackout. The protesters, because of the high number of casualties,
He are exhausted. But what I have to say is that President Trump today called on the Iranians to carry on with the protests. He said that you have to take over your institutions and he added that help will be underway.
Cashier John A.D. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark and it has warned that a US attempt to seize the Arctic island could destroy NATO. Mr Trump says America needs it for national security reasons. Our Europe editor Katja Adler is in Greenland from where she sent this report.
It's crunch time today when the US vice president hosts Greenlandic and Danish officials in Washington to discuss the future of this Arctic island. Donald Trump says he has to have it. What's the message from Greenlanders to him?

Chapter 4: What recent climate data reveals about global warming trends?
I would like to encourage to use your both ears wisely and speak this. We are not for sale. We cannot take our country. It's ours. We need to get and stand together and fight for it. What's your message to the US? We don't want to be a part of the US and they should leave us alone.
What no one knows, of course, is how the Trump administration is planning to handle today's meeting. Confrontation or compromise? Everyone here is waiting anxiously to find out. Katja Adler. Now to huge news for K-pop fans. BTS are back after nearly four years out of the spotlight.
South Korean superstars have announced details of their much anticipated comeback tour after completing their mandatory military service. They are playing 79 shows across the world from Latin America to Australia. Stephanie Prentiss has this report. The BTS Global Army, as they're known, are set to reunite.
as the world's biggest boy band gears up for a world tour and a new album. The seven-man band will split almost 80 dates across 2026 and 2027, and fans are already limbering up to battle for tickets when they go on sale next week. We're going to be fighting for our lives for these tickets, but we will get them. And you know what people say about BTS concerts, like any seat is a good seat, like there is not a bad seat in a BTS concert. Let's go!
The concerts are only possible now after Sugar became the last member to complete mandatory military service, doing 21 months instead of the usual 18. Fans have praised how the group staggered the break, drip-feeding solo projects, content and live streams. So while they left, they never really went away.
And while some had their concerns... I knew they were always going to come back, but there's always that worry. Experts like Dr. Felicity Davies, who did her PhD on South Korean culture, say fans of K-pop boy bands are always prepared for them to have to take a break. Anne told us the current appetite for K-culture, or Hallyu, will smooth the transition back, as everything from K-beauty to Korean TV shows is thriving in global markets.
Se näyttää, että joka kerta, kun jotain näyttää, joku kertoo, että tämä on se hetki, jossa jäi jäi jäi. Tämä on se hetki, ja nyt nähdään, että haluamme. Ja sitten jotain muuta tulee ylös, ja jotain muuta tulee ylös. En voi nähdä, että se pysyy ylös. Koska joka kerta, se näyttää, että se voisi olla saapunut. Ja se voisi olla pysynyt ylös. Jotain muuta, jota en ole koskaan arvannut, näyttää, että se tulee ylös.
BTS's previous tour, Permission to Dance on Stage, ran for 12 dates up until 2022 and made more than 200 million dollars. The new one could net them up to a billion, according to insiders, and if the fans are anything to go by, maybe even more. And that report was by Stephanie Prentiss.
Still to come in this podcast. I could not move because history had me glued to the seat. We look back on the life of a US civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, who along with Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white person and helped to end racial segregation.

2025 was one of the world's three warmest years ever recorded, according to scientists. Data from the Met Office here in the UK and the European Copernicus Climate Service show that global temperatures were more than 1.4 degrees Celsius above the levels of the late 19th century, but not quite as hot as 2024. Our climate reporter Mark Ponting has more.
Last year global temperatures were cooled slightly by a natural weather pattern in the Pacific called La Nina. That meant it wasn't quite as hot as 2024, but the long-term trend is clear. The last 11 years were the hottest of all those recorded since the mid-19th century. The deputy director of Copernicus, Samantha Burgess, explains that the planet could soon breach the target of limiting the long-term rise in global temperatures.
Jos katsotaan, kuinka pitkällä aikavälillä 1,5 asteella yli pre-industrialla, se näyttää, että se on lopulta tämän vuoden lopulta.
Mark pointing. The Republican congressman heading the inquiry into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein says his committee will meet next week to hold the former Democratic president Bill Clinton in contempt after he failed to appear before the committee to testify. That could potentially lead to criminal charges. Here's James Comer speaking after Mr. Clinton's no-show.
With respect to the former president, one reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president. And then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epsteins plane somewhere around 27 times after the presidency. So no one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions.

Chapter 6: How is BTS preparing for their world tour after military service?
Yhdysvallat ovat sanoneet, että yhdysvallat voivat käsitellä lakia, joka vahvistaa transgenderit ja naiset kumppaneiden kumppaneiden kumppaneiden kumppaneiden kumppaneiden Supporters and opponents of the bans held rival rallies outside the court as the hearing took place. Madison Kenyon is a former college athlete who is involved in one of the cases.
I was a track and cross country athlete at Idaho State University. Five times I lost to a male athlete who identifies as a woman. Men and women are different, whether some want to admit it or not. You can't change those differences by suppressing testosterone. Women don't join sports for a participation trophy. We want to win. We work to win. And we deserve a fair shot at winning that trophy and taking home a victory.
Chase Strangio is one of the lawyers representing the trans students. In this moment, in so many halls of power, it feels like people are debating whether or not transgender people exist. Whether or not we deserve protections under our constitution and our civil rights statutes. And today in the Supreme Court we were able to remind the nine justices that we do exist.
North America-korrespondent Anthony Zirka told us more.
The challenges were brought at the lowest level, federal district court with mixed results. Appellate courts in both cases upheld the challenges and struck down the state laws. That's when they were appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear this case. A chance for the justices to once again weigh in on a heated issue surrounding transgender rights. In the same way we saw last year with a Tennessee state ban on gender care, gender transition care for minors.
You can't interpret it entirely from what the justices are saying, but it definitely seems like the sixth justice conservative majority on the Supreme Court is inclined to uphold those two state laws. And part of the reason is, for instance, Chief Justice John Roberts said,
who was part of a majority that upheld unemployment laws application to transgender employees, saying they had rights against being discriminated against. He drew a distinction between that case back in 2020 and the case in question here. You saw several of the Supreme Court justices talk about the need to protect girls' and women's rights in sports. And you also could see it, by the way,
The liberal justices and the lawyers representing the clients challenging these laws fashioned their arguments. In one case, one of the lawyers was saying that the college student no longer competed in college athletics anymore, and so she wanted this case dropped. In another instance, you saw one of the lawyers arguing that
Jos opiskelijoilla oli opiskelijoita, joilla olisi tullut testosteronin vähentämisellä taitoja tai joilla ei ollut puolustusta, heidän ei pitäisi olla vahvistettu. Heidän pitäisi olla erilaisia eri ryhmien välillä ja he eivät halunneet, että lainsäädäntöjärjestelmät pysyvät lainsäädäntöön. Luulen, että se on ymmärrys liberalien puolustuksesta, että lainsäädäntöön ei ole koko ajan lainsäädäntöjä.
