Trump again targets US birthright citizenship | BBC News
2d ago00:04:31Tap to summarizePresident Donald Trump is trying again to scale back birthright citizenship in the US, weeks after the Supreme Court shot down his previous attempt to eliminate the right. The president signed two executive orders on Thursday, including one that expands the existing definitions of non-citizens whose children are not eligible for birthright citizenship. The second order bans so-called birth tourism, the practice of pregnant mothers coming to the US to give birth so that their babies will be citizens. Trump and members of his administration have repeatedly railed against birth tourism, including accusing Russian and Chinese adversaries of taking advantage of birthright citizenship to infiltrate the US.

Battle in the Black Sea - Russia and Ukraine intensify attacks on shipping | BBC News
2d ago00:04:15Tap to summarizeRussia has been ramping up its efforts to strangle Ukraine's commercial links to the outside world, by launching waves of attacks along the country's Black Sea coastline. While there have been Russian attacks on international vessels before, they've never been so numerous or so deadly. Ukraine's port administration says there were 57 Russian attacks on civilian vessels last month. Ukraine's once bustling ports – such as Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi – are almost devoid of ships. Ukraine is also targeting shipping in the war, with recent, highly successful attacks on Russian vessels, including sanctioned tankers carrying oil, as well as ships involved in carrying supplies to Russian-occupied Crimea. Using its own drones, Ukraine has struck around 200 Russian vessels, bringing traffic in the strategic Sea of Azov to a virtual standstill.

Iran says deal with Oman on Strait of Hormuz is in final stages | BBC News
2d ago00:11:26Tap to summarizeIran says it has reached an agreement with Oman on a route for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei did not give any further details on the agreement, which he said was "in the final stages". Baqaei warned, however, that a deal with Oman would not guarantee safe navigation through the strait, arguing security remained impacted by the US blockade of Iran's ports. Since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February, Tehran has largely blocked the Strait of Hormuz through which about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas usually passes.

Why are AI agents hacking other companies and have they gone rogue? | BBC Newscast
2d ago00:27:10Tap to summarizeToday, are some of the world’s leading AI companies doing enough to stop their models from going rogue? Facebook owner Meta has become the latest tech firm to say one of its AI models hacked another company. Similar breaches by OpenAI and Anthropic models have raised cyber-security concerns and prompted calls for tougher safeguards and more rigorous testing. Adam discusses with Professor Gina Neff, Head of the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge and Ciaran Martin - Former CEO of The National Security Centre. And the majority of England’s rivers and lakes have failed a new environmental review.

Why Israeli troops in Lebanon are not withdrawing | Global News Podcast
2d ago00:09:17Tap to summarizeIsrael and Lebanon have concluded a seventh round of peace talks - brokered by the US and held in Rome - without achieving a significant breakthrough. Central to the talks is a plan for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw from certain parts of southern Lebanon, where they have been fighting the militant group Hezbollah. Lebanese government troops would then take over security duties there. But, as we hear from BBC Arabic's Carine Torbey in Beirut, the early attempts to implement this "pilot zone" plan have hit some roadblocks. And Israel has continued to launch strikes on southern Lebanon in recent days. A lasting ceasefire in Lebanon is considered crucial to achieving peace in the Middle East. Iran has stated that any deal it agrees with the US and Israel must also include Lebanon. Israel's continued military campaign there has reportedly led to friction between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Will Hamas actually disarm? | The Global Story
2d ago00:19:37Tap to summarizeIt has been a week since President Trump announced that the Board of Peace had reached an "historic agreement” in Gaza for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas. But in the days since, the situation has become more uncertain. Hamas has said that it will only disarm when Israel withdraws its forces from Gaza, but Israeli officials insist they will not withdraw until the weapons are handed over. On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had not agreed to the plan. To explain what comes next, we turn to the BBC’s international editor, Jeremy Bowen.
