The BNP has secured a majority after the country's landmark election. The election is the first to be held since student-led protests in 2024 ended the 15-year rule of Sheikh Hasina. We look at he challenges now facing the BNP leader Tarique Rahman. US President Donald Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases. And we report on Cuba where emergency measures are in place to save energy. It comes as the US moves to block the island nation from importing oil and after the Trump administration cut off fuel shipments from Venezuela and threatened tariffs on any other country that continues to supply the communist-run nation.
