- For two decades, PEPFAR, the US program to curb Aids/HIV, enjoyed support and financial backing from both Republicans and Democrats, saving an estimated 26 million lives in what is described as the largest ever commitment by any nation to address a single disease.
Previous presidents - including Donald Trump in his first term - continued to praise and support the effort. But last week, the State Department announced that it would be ending its support for PEPFAR in South Africa. The UN has warned the decision could end up costing lives.
US officials told the BBC that the funding cut was in part a response to South Africa's alleged failure to protect the white-minority Afrikaner community, an accusation Pretoria rejects.
Asma speaks to the BBC’s Senior Africa Producer Ed Habershon about what drove this decision and what the impact could be.

... to find out why fast-growing chickens are reshaping the poultry industry and dividing opinion.
So-called “Frankenchickens” are bred to grow to slaughter weight faster than standard chickens - fuelling a growing debate about animal welfare and sustainability.
Supporters say they’re an efficient way to meet demand by keeping costs down and environmental impact low, but critics argue they cause serious health and wellbeing issues for the animals.
At the centre of this debate is Northern Ireland, one of the UK’s biggest poultry producers. Here’s what we explore in the video;

- As governments and businesses confront their reliance on US tech giants, AI Decoded explores whether Britain can build its own AI future — and how quickly it must act.
Now, a sudden decision from Washington is sending shockwaves through the global AI industry, restricting access to some of America’s most advanced systems — even for its allies.
For UK companies, it raises a stark question: what happens when the technology you depend on is no longer available?
Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by Yang Li of East London startup Cosine, now racing to build a “sovereign” British alternative as demand surges following the US clampdown. Tech author and Bloomberg reporter Katrina Manson also joins to unpack the national security stakes, alongside co-host Stephanie Hare.

- Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez says nearly 600 people are now confirmed dead after two huge earthquakes struck the country. Experts have said the death toll could continue to rise.
We ask Luis Fajardo of BBC Monitoring what this disaster could mean for the country's future, at a time of great political and economic turmoil.
President Donald Trump - who ordered the removal of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro at the start of this year - has pledged American assistance in the wake of the earthquakes, saying "we will be there for our new and great friends". But there are questions about what effect the devastation could have on the redevelopment and oil industry investment that President Trump promised when US forces seized Maduro.
Millions of poverty-stricken Venezuelans were already in dire need of aid before the quakes, according to humanitarian groups. And there are growing calls for Maduro's successor - Delcy Rodriguez - to ...

- The United States has been a staunch ally of Israel for decades, and Americans used to be steadfast in their support for the country.
But in recent years, and recent weeks, the special relationship between the two counties has come under fire.
Several polls indicate that Americans have increasingly negative views of Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
And as the midterms approach, support for Israel is on the ballot in some races.
Asma Khalid from The Global Story podcast briefs Tristan Redman on shifting US public and political opinion on Israel.
And correspondent Jon Donnison discusses how fluctuating US sentiment on Israel is affecting domestic Israeli politics.

It was followed by a stronger earthquake just 39 seconds later, with that one registering a 7.5 magnitude, the US Geological Survey says.
Buildings have collapsed as residents poured out into the streets, and the interior minister has asked people to leave their homes.
It is still unclear how many casualties there have been and what the extent of the damage will be.
