During the campaign, Orban's Fidesz party has stoked fears about the malign influence of Ukraine and the EU.

Iranians tell BBC Persian's Sarah Namjoo they are struggling to lead a normal life.Qatar is among several Gulf states that have faced Iranian strikes on military and civilian sites since the war began.

Barbara Plett Usher has been gauging the mood in Doha.Gulf nations have turned to Ukraine for advice amid Iranian drone strikes - their expertise and technology are considered top-class. To that end, teams of Ukrainian drone experts have arrived in Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. James Landale, the BBC diplomatic correspondent, has been in Kyiv.At a US air base in Delaware, the bodies of six US soldiers killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait have been returned, attended by President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and top military officials. It was a moment of quiet solemnity amid a week where the US President has oscillated as to what the war goals are in Iran, says Bernd Debusmann.Nepal has witnessed an historic election this week.

Nine people died after a synagogue in Beit Shemesh was hit, penetrating the bomb shelter beneath it.

For those who refuse to fight the consequences can be severe. Ben Steele met Russian troops who have escaped the front-line, at great personal cost.The small West African nation of Benin is made up of around fifty different ethnic groups and languages. Most of the population is concentrated in the South - home to the country’s main cities, such as the port of Cotonou. While Benin has only a handful of highways, its lush inter-connected lagoons provide a vital commercial artery.
