Could the US election result threaten support for Kyiv? Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States has led the world in providing aid to Kyiv, with contributions totalling more than $175bn (Β£134bn). But agreeing additional assistance in Congress has become increasingly difficult, with the attention of the Republican right fixed on domestic priorities. So, as November's presidential election approaches, what could victory for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump mean for the trajectory of the war?
Sumi Somaskanda is joined by the BBC's Ukraine correspondent, James Waterhouse, and news correspondent, Will Vernon. They discuss how delays of US aid have directly affected the war on the ground, and what we know about the policy positions of the candidates for the White House.

01:40 American appetite for continued aid to Ukraine
03:32 Republican opposition to support for Ukraine
05:05 President Zelensky's 'victory plan'

12:07 Kamala Harris' postion on Ukraine
14:24 Donald Trump's position on Ukraine
15:07 Trump claims "Ukraine is gone"
16:30 Ukrainian views on Trump's claims
18:13 Zelensky's US visit "didn't go well" with political blunder
20:12 How pivotal is US backing for Ukraine compared to other allies?
21:26 If the US withdrew support how long could Ukraine keep fighting?
22:43 American action against Russian allies

Many details about the British singer's death still remain unclear, but information from emergency services and other authorities has started to build a picture of the events. We know that he was in Buenos Aires, in Argentina, and died after falling from a hotel balcony.
Liam rose to fame after competing in the singing competition the X Factor. It was here that he first met fellow One Direction members Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik. Entertainment reporter Bonnie McLaren reminds us of his journey to fame, and his solo projects.
We also hear why he meant so much to fans globally, including 22-year-old Bintelmran in Pakistan. Plus Joshua Miles, a psychotherapist based in London, talks us through why we grieve celebs, even if we donβt know them directly.

The blessing scam is an elaborate piece of criminal street theatre which in the last few months has claimed victims across North America as well as Australia and the UK.
It begins with an apparently random meeting with a stranger in the street, and very quickly escalates from there.
Victims are tricked out of their money and possessions after being terrified into believing that a relativeβs life is threatened by evil spirits. And theyβre left wondering: how did that happen? Are the criminals just master manipulators, or could something even more sinister be involved?

Self-shot over the course of a year, the film captures the fight for survival through direct, personal experiences. Interwoven with these are observational scenes filmed by other filmmakers on the ground, as well as personal archives from before the war. Together, they tell a uniquely human story about the first year of the war in Gaza, challenging assumptions about the conflict and those caught in it. The film showcases stories of resilience, loss, and hope amid a deep and desperate humanitarian crisis.
This film forms part of a group of programmes marking the 7 October anniversary and the Israel-Gaza war. Other programming includes the BBC Storyville documentary, Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again, available on BBC iPlayer.
Audiences in the UK can watch this documentary from Tuesday 15 October on BBC Two and iPlayer here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002412q

BBC Eye Investigations' Number 17: My House of Horrors follows the remarkable story of one familyβs home at the centre of Ukraineβs war. In the strategically important city of Vuhledar, the story of this one home reflects Ukraineβs brutal war for survival.
Originally built as the dream home of Marina, her husband and their two children, it was filled with symbols of love, family, and stability β the centre of the young familyβs daily life. When Russia attacked in February 2022, their home, their lives, and their world were brutally overturned.
A year later, Oleksii was fighting for survival in the houseβs basement. Once an IT graduate, his life took a drastic turn when he was captured by Russian forces, who held him as a prisoner of war (POW) in Marina's home. Wounded and starving, he prayed for the impossible.
Meanwhile, Oleksii's father Oleksandr - a prominent music producer who had worked with famous Russian bands - spent weeks desperately searching for his son. He scoured every new POW video released online, hoping to find a trace of Oleksii, but none ever appeared. Still, Oleksandr held onto hope.
Upstairs, Fima, a Russian naval infantry soldier, was using Marinaβs home as a base. A former diving enthusiast from Vladivostok, he was soon to become a pinup for Russiaβs propaganda war. He filmed himself, under fire, searching through Marinaβs house, and even browsing her family photo albums in the rubbleβ¦

On the 26 September 2014 Nathan Law stood on a makeshift stage outside Hong Kong's central government complex and chanted "Democracy Now" and "Freedom" into a microphone.
He was leading hundreds of protesters who had gathered to demand that China grants Hong Kong free and fair elections.
As the day went on the protest continued to grow and it wasnβt long before Nathanβs face was all over the news.
Then at 2am his microphone was cut off and the protest plunged into darkness as plain-clothed police officers rushed to the stage and arrested him.
Nathan tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty how despite his arrest the protests continued to grow into some of the largest Hong Kong had ever seen lasting 79 days in total.
From leading the movement, to going to jail and now living in exile in the UK he reflects on ten years of activism.

While some may think of slavery as a faraway evil from our past, a recent BBC investigation discovered a gang operating in the UK that forced people to live in an unheated attic and work up to 100 hours a week at a McDonaldβs.
As global crises like Covid-19, conflict, and climate change fuel the rise of modern slavery, weβre asking what forms it takes today β and how you can spot it.
BBC Investigations reporter Jon Ironmonger details the findings of the UK operation and Chloe Cranston from the charity Anti-Slavery International tells us which sectors are most guilty of exploitation.

We are less than a week away from the start of the Women's T20 World Cup and defending champions Australia are aiming to make it four wins in a row.
The West Indies were the last nation to lift the World Cup before Australia embarked on their era of dominance and we speak to all-rounder Deandra Dottin, who was part of the 2016 World Cup winning team. She explains her reasons for reversing her international retirement ahead of the tournament.
Plus, Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the possible return of England's Ben Stokes to white-ball cricket.

The BBCβs Zeinab Dabaa in Cairo talks us through Egyptβs calls for the repatriation of three items: Queen Nefertitiβs bust, the Rosetta Stone and the Dendara Zodiac. Ashley Lime, a BBC journalist in Nairobi, explains the significance of the Benin Bronzes - and why some museums are reluctant to let them go.
Alongside the campaigns to get valuable and historic items returned, there are also efforts to digitise treasures. Chidi Nwaubani is the founder of Looty, a radical art collective which wants to use augmented reality to create digital versions of artefacts and, in their words, βloot backβ treasures. He was speaking to BBC Click.

If youβve purchased fresh, frozen or tinned sweetcorn in the last few decades thereβs a good chance its the super sweet variety. Itβs an example of how our fruit and vegetables have been bred over time to make them sweeter, or less bitter. Its partly about appealing to consumer tastes, but can have other advantages such as better storage and reducing food waste.
In this programme Ruth Alexander finds out how and why the taste of our fresh produce is changing, and asks if weβre gaining sweetness, what are we losing?
Ruth visits Barfoots farm on the south coast of England, the biggest supplier of fresh sweetcorn in the UK, all of it super sweet varieties. Plant breeder Dr Michael Mazourek at Cornell University in the United States explains how selective breeding works, and what sort of characteristics have been prioritised by the food industry. Dr Sarah Frith, vet at Melbourne Zoo in Australia explains why theyβve stopped giving fruit to the animals. And Dr Gabriella Morini, chemist at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy explains the latest research on bitter flavours, and why they might be good for us.
00:00 What is super sweetcorn?
09:09 The business of selective breeding
15:42 How vegetables got sweeter
21:52 Why changing the taste of fruit & veg matters
29:03 How sweet and fruits and vegetables going to get?
Presenter: Ruth Alexander

Before defecting to South Korea at the age of 13, Hyuk was so poor that he had to beg on the streets to survive. He initially had a hard time adjusting to the new environment but eventually found solace in music and song-writing.
Can music bridge the divide between North and South Korea for defectors like Yu Hyuk? He shares his journey into the competitive K-pop industry. And Yuna Ku, our reporter in Seoul, explains the challenges defectors face in their new country.

She's a 36-year-old US army veteran, and it's taken 10 years to cover 99.98% of her body in ink.
"I sort of liked body art being this collection of memories that I could take with me anywhere," Esperance says.
Her tattoos extend to her hands, feet, the scalp, and extremely delicate areas such as her tongue, gums and sclerae - the white outer layer of the eyeballs.
Esperance now has several Guinness World Records including the most tattooed person (female) and most body modifications (female) - and she's not done yet!

Tasalla Tabasom grew up in Iran and faced social prejudice for being queer and her art was often questioned for its depiction of nude bodies.
Despite cultural taboos stopping many from speaking out, Tasalla shares her ongoing experiences of censorship around her art and identity. Now in the UK, she seeks to challenge the gaze on queer and female bodies through exhibitions and showcases around the country.
Priscillia Kounkou Hoveyda navigated discrimination and denial of her identity while growing up in Iran. She remembers spending most of her life observing mainstream society from the margins. Today as a filmmaker, Priscillia creates space for exploring the different iterations of being black and founded a production hub to explore black Iranian stories to fill the gap in understanding.
Contains depictions of nude paintings.
