The Lebanon ceasefire is 'extended by three weeks'
About this episode
The episode discusses the extension of the Lebanon ceasefire, US diplomatic efforts, cybersecurity issues, corporate layoffs, climbing challenges on Everest, oceanic studies, and the death of a notable composer pupil.
President Trump says the Lebanon ceasefire has been extended for another three weeks, after hosting talks with diplomats from Israel and Lebanon at the White House, but insisted he won't "rush" a deal with Iran. Also: the Kremlin battles to control cyber space. The tech giant Meta plans to cut 10% of its global workforce. A huge chunk of ice blocks the route to the summit of Everest, at the start of the peak climbing season. A new study says giant octopuses may have been among the top predators of the world’s oceans when dinosaurs still roamed on land. And the last surviving pupil of the composer, Sergei Rachmaninoff, dies at the age of 101. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.
