'Killer fungus' destroying invasive plant in UK | BBC News
2d ago00:03:21Tap to summarizeA new species of "killer fungus" has been discovered that destroys an invasive plant in the UK, raising hopes that native habitats could be restored. The scientist who found the moss dieback fungus and is tracking its spread across the UK took the BBC’s Georgina Rannard to South Wales to see the fungus. It leaves "fairy rings of death" on the heath-star moss which arrived on British soil in the 1940s and swiftly pushed out other plants, damaging heathlands, sand dunes and other habitats across Britain.

Demand for Indian mangoes soar as cargo fees rise | BBC News
3d ago00:09:06Tap to summarizeEntrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India. Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp. Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year. This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.

Is Israel collapsing a US-Iran deal over Lebanon? | BBC News
4d ago00:24:15Tap to summarizeThe US and Iran still need to work out several sticking points before an agreement on the war can be reached, Vice-President JD Vance has said. Asked by the BBC if President Donald Trump was close to signing a deal, Vance said it was too early to say "when or if" the two sides would finalise an agreement. Meanwhile, waves of Israeli strikes have hit southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, according to the Israeli military. The escalation threatens to derail talks aimed at ending the war between the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other. Iran insists that any deal must also cover Lebanon. Israel says it reserves the right to continue to fight the threat from Hezbollah.

What is Israel's plan in Gaza, as Netanyahu expands control? | Global News Podcast
4d ago00:12:41Tap to summarizePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has directed the Israel Defense Forces to increase its control of Gaza to 70 percent - a significant change to the "yellow line" of demarcation set by the US-brokered ceasefire agreement last year. Mr Netanyahu said Israel was "squeezing Hamas", as the IDF advances further into territory controlled by the militant group. Analysts say the operation is pushing Palestinian civilians into a smaller and smaller strip of land. This comes just days after the Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz spoke about plans for a large number of Palestinians to "voluntarily emigrate" from Gaza. Human rights groups have warned that this may amount to the forced displacement of civilians - which could be considered a war crime. Some right-wing voices in Israel have called for Jewish settlements to be established in Gaza, the way they have in the occupied West Bank. Under the 20-point plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, the next phase of the Gaza peace plan would see Hamas disarm and Israeli troops withdraw, but indirect talks have stalled, as Hamas refuses to give up its weapons. Our Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell tells us what Israel's next move could be, and how the Israeli elections could influence Mr Netanyahu's policy in Gaza.
