Chapter 2: What happened in the Islamic State attack on US soldiers in Syria?
However, these operations seem to be low-key or they are not giving massive publicity. Yusuf Taha. It was apparently a rare visit above ground for Raed Saad, but one long enough for Israel to locate the Hamas leader's car and hit it with an airstrike, killing him and three others. A correspondent in Jerusalem, James Cook, explains who he was and why he was targeted.
Raed Saad is the man in question. He was a senior Hamas commander. Indeed, it's understood that he'd recently been appointed to a newly established senior military group of Hamas figures, a senior military council in Israel. says that he was involved. Indeed, he was one of the architects of the attack on October 7th, 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage.
He's said to have been killed on a strike on a car near Gaza City or around the Gaza City area, in which a total of four people are said to have died. And Israel says it acted because it accuses him of violating the ceasefire, which came in a couple of months ago, rebuilding Hamas's military capabilities, manufacturing weapons and targeting Israeli forces, it says, with explosive devices.
James Cook in Jerusalem. It's a choice between a communist and a candidate of the far right. People in Chile are heading to the polls on Sunday for the country's presidential election. The Communist Party's candidate is Yanet Jara. And from the far right, we have candidate JosƩ Antonio Kast.
While Jara narrowly won the first round, Kast has been the frontrunner for the final stage, with immigration and crime dominating the election campaign. Our South America correspondent, Ione Wells, has been asking people in the capital, Santiago, what's at stake? Saturday morning in a sunny Santiago and I'm with Carlos Luis Gonzalez.
He's Bolivian but he's lived in Santiago for 35 years. He runs a solteƱa business here, essentially a type of Bolivian empanadas and he's out delivering them today. Much of the workforce that he employs are migrants from around Latin America, Haiti, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia.
For us, the migrant workforce is very important because, like me, they come here eager to work. It's harder for migrants to change jobs. If they have a work contract visa, they have to stay at the same job until the visa is issued to get a permanent visa. We fear if CAST wins, there'll be a problem regularising migrants.
In 2023, the number of foreigners living in Chile was up by 46% compared to 2018. Official estimates suggest about 336,000 people live here undocumented, many from Venezuela. Gabriel Funes is a Venezuelan who works as a waiter. He moved four years ago. He's applied for a visa, but he's still had no response from the government.
I left Venezuela because the country was in a very, very bad economic situation.

Chapter 3: What is the current political situation in Belarus?
I got a temporary Chilean ID so I can contribute to social security and pay taxes here. I submitted the paperwork to the Chilean immigration office, but I still haven't received a response. My payments go into a friend's account. I'm basically a ghost here. Since Kast said he's going to deport us, we've seen more xenophobia.
That has stirred up hatred. He's validating it.
I work in a restaurant and it never happened to me. And then about 20 days ago, a table arrived. They started talking about migrants having to leave.
Super hurtful words.
This election campaign has been dominated by crime and immigration as the flow of people into the country has recently grown. Communist Party's Yanet Tara has said she'd deploy the army to protect borders.
Don't let fear freeze your hearts. It is not worth it. Fear must be fought by giving families more security, not by inventing imaginary solutions.
The far-right front-runner, JosƩ Antonio Kast, has pledged a Donald Trump-style border wall and mass deportations.
He's the most right-wing candidate since Chile's dictator, Augusto Pinochet, who he has praised.
People who are breaking the law today and are in Chile irregularly have 90 days to leave if they want to apply again to enter.

Chapter 4: How did President Trump respond to the attack?
which are absolutely prohibitive. To follow England through the whole tournament would be sort of $6,500. And then you look at what it means for Ghanaian fans or Haitian fans, and their average monthly wage in those two countries, respectively, is $254 a month and $147 a month, which barely even covers the cost of the ticket. The president, Gianni Anfantino, has so much power.
And remember, with that power, the revenues that are generated by the World Cup keeps a lot of these national associations going. So they're not going to argue against him. FIFA prides itself on being a not-for-profit organisation. And it does go into youth development. It goes into women's grassroots. It goes into men's grassroots. A lot of it in Africa.
So you're not going to get them having a go at Infantino, just like you're not going to get the English Football Association having a go at FIFA or actually standing up to them because England want to host the 2035 Women's World Cup, which is bestowed by FIFA.

With the latest Avatar film set to be released, we hear from the soundtrack's composer.
A scam exploiting vulnerable families with sick children. I would have done anything to get the medicine for Khalil. The child is directed on camera to plead for help. They were going to upload it to social media. Millions of dollars pour in, but the families never receive the money.
He told us it wasn't successful. As I understood it, the video just didn't make any money.
They used to raise funds for their own benefit. World of Secrets, the child cancer scam from the BBC World Service. Listen now wherever you get your BBC podcasts.

Chapter 5: What challenges are faced by US forces in Syria against ISIS?
Local residents trying to stop their natural resources being plundered by outsiders. No, this isn't another environment story, or at least not an earthly one. It is instead the third film in the Avatar series, which is about to come out in cinemas. Each instalment in this sci-fi franchise has taken years to make. And the same is true of the soundtrack.
According to the film's composer, Simon Franklin, it occupied seven years of his life, he told our music correspondent, Mark Savage.
is the only pure thing in this world.
There's a little over three hours of music in the film. The copyist told me that I had done 1,907 pages of a conducting score. How does that compare to a typical Hollywood movie? What would the score be for that? Probably a quarter of that. The Avatar movies are a huge technical achievement, full of cutting-edge visual effects and performance capture techniques.
This world goes much deeper than you imagine.
But Simon Franklin says that the director, James Cameron, insists everything the audience sees and hears is created by humans.
He very specifically asked me, he said, we're not using any AI.
And I said, no. He said, we're not putting any real musicians out of work. I said, no. He said, because it's really important to me that these are real musicians. This is part of what gives that music that organic feeling that I want. At what point did you start writing the music? The first cues I wrote in February 2018. We meet the wind traders in Avatar Fire and Ash.
They have a hoedown on their enormous galleon. The hoedown has to have a piece of music in it. We see it on the screen. The problem was, what do they play? Because it's not animation, it's performance. You have to have a real instrument that would be designed for three meter high blue people with four fingers. So I sketch out instruments. The art department make these beautiful 3D designs.
