Why ex-Bangladesh PM Hasina may return from India to face a death sentence | Global News Podcast
Yesterday00:10:37Tap to summarizeTwo years to the day after resigning as prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina has delivered an address vowing to return home from exile in India. The former leader was ousted amid mass protests in 2024, and subsequently sentenced to death in absentia for crimes against humanity. A Bangladeshi court ruled that she had authorised security forces to use "lethal weapons" against protestors. The United Nations has said up to 1,400 people were killed during the unrest. After her speech, the Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying it was "outraged" that Ms Hasina was "allowed ... to engage in live interaction with the media in New Delhi, where she and her henchmen launched venomous vitriol against the State of Bangladesh and her people." We ask the BBC's South Asia specialist Anbarasan Ethirajan why Ms Hasina wants to return to Bangladesh now, and what could happen if she does. Plus, we discuss how the new government of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman - which came to power in the country's first elections since Ms Hasina's ousting - has performed in its first six months, and the current state of Dhaka's relations with India, Pakistan and China.

Why are Westerners moving to Russia? | BBC News
Yesterday00:20:54Tap to summarizeA group of prominent, controversial influencers made a visit to Russia this summer. They included Andrew Tate, Candace Owens and British far-right anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson. They argue that Russia is upholding the traditional conservative values they fear are in decline at home. It is certainly an image Vladimir Putin is keen to project. Two years ago Russia set up a special “shared values” visa, which makes it easier for Westerners to move to the country if they align with its supposed ‘traditional spiritual and moral beliefs’. Russia claims thousands of Westerners have applied. We speak to the BBC’s Dan Hardoon, whose documentary ‘The Russian Dream’ follows Westerners who have moved to Russia, and to Russia expert Mark Galeotti, host of the podcast In Moscow's Shadows.

2d ago00:05:13Tap to summarizeA new fund is working to save 100 of the world's most threatened species. The Phoenix Species Project will put $200m (£149m) towards restoring animals in the wild and stopping them from going extinct. It's one of the largest funds ever focused on species recovery. The project is a collaboration between the Bezos Earth Fund and Re:wild - a non profit co-founded by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
