This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Jeanette Jaleel and in the early hours of Monday the 5th of May, these are our main stories.
Israel's military has confirmed plans for another expansion of the war in Gaza by sending call -up orders to thousands of reservists.
A nationalist, Eurosceptic candidate who opposes sending military aid to Ukraine looks set to win the first round of Romania's re -run presidential election.
Donald Trump denies he is seeking a third term, despite having previously said he would.
Also in this podcast… When the Pope needs anything, we receive a call and we go to the Vatican to take the measurements.
We usually make three different sizes.
As Cardinals get ready to elect the next Pope, we look at the preparations to ensure that can appear in full papal regalia soon after.
Israel's military chief, Ayel Zamir, has confirmed that thousands of call -up orders are being sent to thousands of reservists in preparation for an expansion of Israel's offensive in Gaza.
As we record this podcast, the Israeli security cabinet has been meeting and is expected to approve the plan shortly.
Israel says it's aiming to put pressure on Hamas to release all remaining hostages.
The strategy has included a blockade on the delivery of humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
Aid agencies say this policy could amount to a war crime, an allegation Israel rejects.
Our correspondent in Jerusalem, Hugo Beshaga, told me more about the Israeli plans to call up more reservists?
Earlier today, we had confirmation from the military's chief of staff that tens of thousands of reservists were being called up.
And don't forget, these reservists are exhausted.
A lot of them have served five, six times since the beginning of the war.
And a lot of people in Israel say that this is a failed policy, that military pressure hasn't worked to release the hostages in Gaza.
no one has been freed, since the ceasefire collapsed back in March. And meanwhile, the situation in Gaza itself is growing ever more desperate.
We're hearing about reports that Hamas is hunting down looters because there's such a shortage of food supplies that we now have armed gangs prowling the territory.
We've got what, more than 52 ,000 people who have died since the October 7th attacks.
And aid agencies say many more are dying from preventable illnesses because of the Israeli blockade?
Yeah. And, I mean, as you say, we're hearing some dramatic accounts of the desperate situation inside Gaza.
Aid agencies are saying that the majority of the population is now struggling with acute shortages of water, food and medicine supplies, and that people are dying of hunger.
And there was something that the UN's emergency coordinator in Gaza said a few days ago that really struck me.
She said people were burning alive after Israeli airstrikes because there was no water to save them.
So this gives you an idea of this situation there, the catastrophic situation in Gaza.
And these aid organisations are saying that this is a policy of starvation by Israel that could amount to a war crime, something that Israel has obviously denied.
Yougo Besega in Jerusalem.
For more on what the call -up of Israeli reservists could achieve, James Menendez spoke to The Economist's Israel correspondent, Anshul Pfeffer.
We may not necessarily see massive changes on the ground in Gaza in the next few days but I think gradually us, more Israeli troops are deployed.
The plan is from what I understand is to capture another part of Gaza and push the civilians out of it and start destroying what Israel calls the terror infrastructure, but basically would be most of the buildings in that area.
So, widening the war and corning up all these thousands of reservists, I mean, how much support does that have in Israel?
Well, what we're seeing in the polls now is that it's not a very popular move.
A majority of Israelis, according to all the surveys we've seen now for months, think that at this point Israel should prioritize a deal which would release all the hostages, even Even if that means long -term ceasefire which would keep Hamas in place, that's now a roughly sixty percent of Israelis are saying that, so it's not a popular move.
It's also not a popular move because it means tens of thousands of Israelis, mainly men, it's also some women in their 20s and 30s, are going to be called up yet again for the fifth or the sixth time since October 7 for a lengthy period which means that when we were with their families, many of them were students or sending out in their careers so It's not a very useful thing for them to be called up for what is probably going to be a three month period.
The Economist's Israel correspondent Anne Scharfaeffer.
In Israel itself, a missile fired from Yemen evaded its sophisticated air defences and forced a brief shutdown of the main international airport on Sunday, exposing Israel's vulnerability to attacks from Iranian -backed Houthis and the limits of the current US military bombing campaign against the group to try to end its attacks on Red Sea shipping.
The Israeli government has vowed to retaliate, but the Houthis have also vowed to carry out more attacks to further disrupt air travel over Israel.
Defence analyst Jonathan Markus assessed the significance of the Houthis finally being able to fire a missile so close to Ben Gurion airport.
It's clearly going to be a serious worry to Israeli military planners.
None of these missile defense systems are hermetically sealed, none of them work 100 percent of the time.
But the fact that this Houthi missile seems to have evaded both Israel's very sophisticated arrow system and also a system known by its initials as THAAD, which is an American High Altitude Interception System, which has been deployed in Israel as part of the efforts to bolster their anti -missile defenses.
because the fact it beat both these systems is something that's going to cause worry and they will be obviously working hard to try and figure out what precisely went wrong.
So, they'll be trying to do that and at the same time the Israeli government has vowed to retaliate, but what can it do realistically given that the US and before that Saudi Arabia have for years been unable to stop Houthi attacks?
Well, you make a good point there.
I think one of the key problems here is the extraordinary resilience of the Houthi regime.
You're right, they've seen off the Saudi military.
The Americans have launched an extremely aggressive program of attacks in recent weeks against targets there.
We've not had a huge amount of detail from the Pentagon on exactly what they've struck, but the intensity has certainly been upped and it doesn't seem to have daunted the Houthis in any way.
Israel has struck back at Houthi targets in the past. The attacks against Israel itself are fairly sporadic.
I think there have been four or so ballistic missiles launched against them in the last four days or so.
One obviously has got through, the rest I think were intercepted.
But it's a continuing problem.
Remember, it's not just missile attacks against Israel, it's attacks against warships and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
Both Britain and the United States have been involved in attacks against the Houthi regime.
But again, nothing yet seems to have deterred them.
Now there are voices, not least in Israel, who say that it is Iran that is behind the regime there, it is Iran that is providing some of the more sophisticated weaponry, and that perhaps a reprisal should be directed against the Tehran.
But of course, that raises a whole other set of issues.
And of course, you have ongoing efforts by the Americans to test out whether Iran's nuclear programme can be reduced or limited in some way through negotiations.
So it's a very complex, very difficult set of issues that they're all having to grapple with.
And why can't the international community stop those weapons coming from Iran to Yemen when there are UN embargoes in place?
Well, again, that would require significantly stepped up efforts.
It's one of the reasons, I think, why some of the more hawkish voices are saying that the address for reprisals should be the government in Iran itself.
But I think you are left with the fact that a lot of this weaponry is not hugely sophisticated.
It's much easier for countries to develop these kinds of systems and to transfer them.
But at root, if the Houthi regime insists on carrying on with these attacks, and obviously they say they are acting in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza, and of course, it's Israel's decision to relaunch the war in Gaza, which has, to a large extent, relaunched the Houthi efforts to attack them.
Defence analyst Jonathan Marcus.
A nationalist, Eurosceptic candidate who opposes sending military aid to Ukraine look set to win the first round of voting in Romania's presidential election, five months after an earlier poll was scrapped over alleged fraud and Russian interference.
Jorge Simeone is expected to face a run -off against a centrist candidate in two weeks' In a video message, Mr Simeon praised Romanians who had voted for him.
I want to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who chose to vote for me.
It was more than a choice.
It was an act of courage, trust and solidarity.
I am grateful to them and I assure them that their trust will not be betrayed.
Shortly before we recorded this podcast, our correspondent in the Romanian capital, Bucharest, Nick Thorpe, gave us this update.
Nick Thorpe With almost all the votes counted, he's actually running on about 40 per cent of the vote in Romania, with his nearest rivals trailing both of them, two centrist candidates, on 21 per cent.
So while we don't know yet who will challenge him in that second round, we can say for sure, I think, at this point, that he will be in that second round in two weeks time.
And just remind us why this election had to be rerun in the first place.
Kalin Georgescu, another nationalist or patriot as he would call himself, came first on November the 24th, but then, over allegations of Russian interference, and of campaign fraud, of large social media accounts on TikTok, suddenly appearing and boosting Mr Georgescu from an almost unknown figure to the winner of that election.
That election result was annulled.
Mr Simeon really in a way took over as the main nationalist or right -wing candidate in this election when Mr Georgescu, who won that first round back in November, was barred from taking part.
So he has really successfully scooped up both his own vote and those that would have gone to Mr George Asku, to get this very strong result into really he's got more than two million votes more than his nearest rival, so he certainly the favorite in two weeks' time.
A lot of people are watching this very closely, not least the Trump administration which criticized the scrapping of the the last election and also Ukraine which is worried about the impact this could have on the war there.
That's right Mr Simeon, George who's done so well in this election, he describes himself as an admirer of Donald Trump.
He's also a great critic, however, of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, but he's critical of all the help which Romania, one of Europe's poorest countries has been giving to Ukraine.
He's not in favor of further military support for it.
and yet he does proclaim himself as a strong believer in NATO and of persuading Donald Trump, if he can, to keep U .S. troops in Europe.
So many different pictures really coming across of him, really pro -American, pro -Trump but very critical of the European Union and especially of the leadership of the EU by Ursula von der Leyen.
Nick Thorpe in Romania.
Donald Trump has denied that he's seeking a third presidential term, a move that's banned under the US constitution.
This despite previously having said that he was not joking about wanting to serve a third or even fourth term as US President.
He was speaking to NBC's Meet the Press programme.
So many people want me to do it, I have never had requests so strong as that but it's something that to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do.
I don't know if that's constitutional that they're not allowing you to do it or anything else, but there are many people selling the 2028 hat, but this is not something I'm looking to do.
I'm looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican, to carry it forward. But I think we're going to have four years and I think four years is plenty of time to do something really spectacular.
So, why the U -turn now?
A question Bernadette Keogh put to our correspondent in Washington, Jake Kwong.
This is something that he had been flirting with, the idea of running for third term since the beginning.
And if you go to any of his rallies, this is an issue that comes up.
And his supporters seem to really believe in this idea that this could happen.
His official website has started selling last week.
This red hat says Trump 2028, which promotes the idea of him running for third term, and his former advisor, Steve Bannon, has been going around saying that he is absolutely serious in trying to get Mr Trump to run for third term.
So I think it's more of a wait and see.
Now this denial about trying to run again, is it just a ruse, Jake, to divert attention away from other issues?
Certainly. There is this aspect of when he puts out this official merch, selling the idea of running for third term.
It really fires up his support base and it also agitates his critics.
It really generates this outrage and his supporters love to see Mr. Trump as anti -establishment, a disruptor, and you know the conversation moves away from the other issues that the White House is currently contending with, mainly the economy.
This is an issue that Mr. Trump certainly does not want to fight on.
A lot of Americans are currently feeling agitated and anxious about where the economy is going.
The inflation worries about the tariffs and of course we're now looking at the prospect of there being no toys come Christmas and Mr. Trump has also been trying to doze this doubt saying that Americans don't need thirty dolls for Christmas they can just be happy with three.
You don't need 250 pencil you can just have five and if we focus on whether he's gonna run for third term or not it may help the White House a little bit.
Jake Kwan in Washington.
The former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, has left hospital three weeks after he was admitted for major abdominal surgery.
Mr. Bolsonaro, who lost his re -election bid three years ago, is due to stand trial for being part of an alleged plot to overturn that result to prevent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking over from him.
Leonardo Russia reports.
Mr Bolsonaro walked slowly as he emerged from hospital in the capital, Brasilia, to visit a small crowd of supporters.
His doctor said a former president of 70 would remain under observation at home during the next three or four weeks.
In the meantime his lawyers will be preparing his defence in a criminal trial at the Supreme Court.
Mr Bolsonaro, has been charged with plotting a military coup to prevent the inauguration of his successor, President Lula da Silva, in January 2023.
He says the allegations are politically motivated.
Leonardo Russia. Still to come...
It's been a 14 -month journey.

You're listening to the Global News Podcast. Sudanese paramilitaries have carried out drone strikes on the city of Port Sudan, causing major disruption at what was the country's only functioning international airport.
It's the first time the seat of the Army -backed government has been attacked during two years of devastating civil war.
Jo Inwood reports. Huge plumes of black smoke can be seen rising into the air near Port Sudan.
The target was the Osman -Dinya Air Base with a goods warehouse and civilian facility said to be hit.
This is the first time the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have managed to strike at the base of the national army.
A spokesman for the Sudanese armed forces said that kamikaze drones have been responsible, a tactic the RSF have been increasingly using in recent months.
As well as hosting the army, Port Sudan is home to many international organisations and aid agencies.
Clementine Quetta Salami is the most senior UN official in the country.
She says the attack will have an impact on their operations.
We will have to assess the situation, what it means in terms of our ability to bring items and staff in and out of the country.
It will also force us to reflect on our own footprint, our posture, and to make sure that we can manage the security situation as it evolves.
Just to say that I have said repeatedly, as have other actors called on all those engaged in this conflict to ensure that civilians and civilian infrastructure are not targeted.
That is a call that has not been heeded in a civil war that is often said to be the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
Much of the capital city has been destroyed, with more than 12 million people forced to their homes and tens of millions suffering from acute hunger.
The Sudanese armed forces have taken back swathes of territory in recent months, including the presidential palace, but that has clearly not removed their rival's ability to strike at an area previously considered safe.
Jo Inwood, in two days time, 135 Cardinals will gather in the splendour of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, to decide which one of them will succeed Pope Francis, a process that could take days and successive rounds of voting.
The ballots will be burned after each round with the black smoke emerging from the chimney signalling to the crowds waiting outside that no Pope has yet been chosen.
But once white smoke rises it means that there is a new Pope who will then appear shortly afterwards wearing the papal white cassock.
Preparing for that is the tailor to a long succession of Popes, the family -run business Guamarelli.
William Crawley went along to their workshop in Rome.
How long have you been on this particular site?
The business was established in 1798.
We are here since 1875.
So, new kid on the block who are the typical customers here?
Our customers go from the seminarian to the priest to the bishop to the cardinals to the Holy Father.
All of these people typically come in to be tailored, except the Pope?
The Pope could not come here because it would be too difficult.
When the Pope needs anything, we receive a call and we go to the Vatican to take the measurements.
We usually make three different sizes.
Small, medium and large?
Roughly speaking. This time we have not made the three vestments because the Vatican informed us that it was not necessary, they already had everything.
we think is because they're using the vestments we made for previous conclaves.
How many popes has your family tailored for?
We are not sure, because we don't have records for the first years.
Back to 1798? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Those are just the ones.
You've got the pictures on the wall here from… Yeah, 8 pictures of the last 8 popes.
You've got Francis, Benedict, John Paul II, John Paul I, you've got Paul VI, John XXIII, all the way back to the Pius.
Those are the ones you know of?
Yeah. We surely have worked with Popes before that, but we don't have the pictures.
If I were coming here, if I were a cardinal, what could you do for me?
We start by taking measurements and then asking, what do you need, because it's not the same for every cardinal.
Each cardinal chooses what he wants to wear.
And some of them will be much more simple in their tastes.
Some will be a bit more ornate.
And that's true Pope as well.
You get Popes who, like Francis, very simple in his style.
Pope Francis only wanted the white cassock, the very simple dress that the pope wears every day and for ceremonies.
For example, Pope Benedict also wore the white cassock, but over that, wore also the red mozzetta that is distinctive of the Holy Father.
And Pope Francis never wanted to wear it.
This is almost like a sort of shoulder hooded around the top of the white cassock.
Francis pointed more simplicity, I guess, in the way he dressed.
Probably, yeah. What kind of fabrics do you use for the Pope's garments?
They are all pure wool fabrics.
No silk in there, no?
There are some very tiny silk details but the main fabric is wool.
I hear that Benedict liked silk.
But he also wore wool.
The cassock of a Pope is made of wool, not silk.
I can show you the fabrics we use for priests or bishops or carnyals, but not the ones that we use for the Pope because they're white and they could get oil with the sun, so we them somewhere else.
You've got a special Pope storeroom, have you?
Yeah. Yeah, I knew you would!
So we've got cassocks here in black and what is this in red?
No this is a coat. This is somebody else's coat?
Nothing to do with the church. It looked like it should be a Cardinal's coat.
They're tailored to the church but we are also tailored.
So every now and then.
You really do suits as well!
No Pope has ever entered this store but most of them came here before they became Pope.
the cardinals or even before that.
We served Pope Francis Cardinal Bergoglio when he was created a cardinal and we served Pope Benedict Cardinal Ratzinger for all his life in the church. He was probably your best customer.
He loved to dress up, didn't he?
I don't remember the exact words but in a book of his memories, he wrote that life without Gammerrelli would be impossible.
That report by William Crawley in Rome.
Meanwhile, a popemobile used by Pope Francis during his visit to the Occupied West Bank a decade ago is to be transformed into a mobile clinic for wounded children in Gaza.
He's said to have given his blessing to the project last year.
Here's Mike Thompson.
The converted, gleaming white popemobile is likely to be a very welcome – if rather incongruous looking site – in Gaza.
Much of the territory now has little or no available healthcare.
The Roman Catholic aid organisation Caritas, which has long operated there, is to kit the vehicle out with diagnostic equipment, vaccines and other life -saving supplies, along with blast -proof glass.
Pope Francis is known to have been deeply concerned about the plight of civilians in Gaza and is said to have been in daily touch with the priests there.
He also criticised Israeli military offensives in the strip, a fact which may help explain why the country only sent its Vatican ambassador to the pontiff's funeral, a legacy that could stymie the already formidable challenge of getting the Pope Mobile into Gaza, which is under an Israeli aid blockade.
Mike Thompson, 50 years ago, North Vietnamese tanks rolled through the gate of the Presidential Palace in Saigon, effectively ending a long and bloody war.
To mark the anniversary, the Guillemet Museum in Paris is presenting a special audio -visual exhibition featuring the work of the French photojournalist, Marc Wiebew.
His best -known image is from an anti -war protest in the U .S. of a girl holding a flower towards American soldiers who are pointing their guns at her.
But the photographer also worked extensively in Vietnam during the conflict.
Our Paris correspondent, Hugh Scofield, visited the exhibition.
Stop the war in Vietnam and bring it home.
Because I am sick of the racist war in Vietnam when we don't have justice in the United States.
50 years ago the Long War in Vietnam came to an end.
This was in no small part due to the anti -war protest movement in the US.
And one of the best -known images of the time shows a 17 -year -old girl holding a chrysanthemum up before a line of soldiers armed with bayonets at a protest in Washington, D .C.
La jeune fait à la fleur, the picture came to be called or as it was published in English, the ultimate confrontation, the flower and the bayonet.
The man who captured this image was French photographer Marc Ribou and his work on Vietnam is on display now at the Musée Guillemet in Paris to mark the anniversary of the end the war.
Visiting the exhibition I spoke to curator Lorenne Dorret and I began by asking her why Ribeau had selected this particular frame of all the pictures he took of that anti -war demo in 1967.
When you look at the contact sheet you see it's the more powerful photo it's a very simple composition divided in two parts so on one side the girl with the flower and in front of her the soldiers who are as young as her, they seem.
But she looks very resolute and firm.
We can't really give her an age, though we learned later on that she was only 17.
I think it's that way the photo became a symbol of peace and Marc Ribault was really happy about it.
It's a photo that is still very much reenacted during the demonstrations for different causes.
Would it be groovy with bombs going off all around you to report in your suit and tie for work that morning?
It seems a little far out, though.
Was Mark Ribouin an anti -Vietnam war campaigner?
He has never been a militant.
When we see his works, of course we can feel his sympathy.
But he was very lucid.
He always remained distant with the politics and focused more on people.
Let's move on and show us a couple of other pictures that you particularly like.
It's a line of five children walking away from us at an angle wearing these strange jackets made out of straws.
Yes. But these jackets look like carnival.
It looks like a happy sort of parade.
But when you look at the caption and you read it carefully you can see that the jackets were made of straw to protect themselves from explosions, which make the photograph much more deep.
What's very obvious is that he wasn't, in a kind of conventional term, a war photographer.
I mean, we're not seeing soldiers, we're not seeing fighting, we're not seeing bloody bodies at all, are we?
That's what makes his work special, especially the work on Vietnam.
Because to prepare this exhibition we looked at many books of the war in Vietnam, and what we see first is photographs of mostly American soldiers.
And we don't see almost any here, maybe one or two at the beginning.
He said himself that he was not a war photographer that he was more interested in the beauty of the world and that's what we see in his photographs we see life.
And that was curator Lorraine Du Rais ending that report from Huescofield in Paris.
A man who's completed a remarkable bike ride halfway across the world from Wales to Australia has said he also plans toecycle home.
Nathan Hurley has raised close to five and a half thousand dollars for charity on his journey which took him across much of Europe and Asia he's been speaking to Michael Daventry.
It's been a 14 -month journey, I set off from Cardiff Bay on St David's Day last year 2024.
That was on the 1st of March. 25 000 kilometers and a fair few punctures later, Nathan Hurley rolled on his bike into Sydney Harbour last week it had been an exhausting trip through mountain ranges, deserts, and one or two politically delicate regions.
In parts of China he was followed by a police car, the only other vehicle for miles around.
So when he finally arrived in Australia's largest city and video called his parents, they were hoping his journey was at an end.
I gave them the good news that I arrived but I also gave them the bad news that I decided to come back home the other way around the planet.
So I think my Dad was really supportive My, my mum had her head in her hands.
Right now, Nathan is in New Zealand, but plans to take a flight to Alaska.
From there, he'll cycle down the Americas to Brazil, before crossing into Africa and back up north to Cardiff Bay in the south of Wales.
Michael Daventry. And that's all from us for now.
