  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • Gaza has received its first delivery in more than three months of medical aid from the World Health Organization.

  • The legendary fashion journalist Anna Wintour has announced that she's standing down as the editor of US Vogue magazine after 37 years in the role.

  • Also in this podcast,

  • we hear from a woman who was held hostage in the siege that gave rise to the term Stockholm Syndrome.

  • I think it was the feeling that someone cared about me.

  • I don't feel ashamed at all for this.

  • I did what I could to survive.

  • The ceasefire between Israel and Iran may be holding,

  • but the United States and the Islamic Republic are refusing to let the dust settle.

  • In our earlier podcast,

  • we brought you some of the first televised address

  • since the ceasefire by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

  • He declared victory over Israel and said that President Trump was wrong to claim that US strikes had obliterated Iran's underground nuclear site at Fordow.

  • A short time later,

  • the US defence secretary Pete Hegseth gave a combative press conference in the Pentagon,

  • castigating journalists

  • for reporting a US intelligence leak which said that Saturday's bombing raid failed to destroy that site.

  • Rather, he called it an historically successful attack.

  • There has been speculation that highly enriched uranium was moved from Fordow days before the attack.
