This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Uncle Desai and in the early hours of Saturday the 25th of October, these are our main stories.
The US sends its top aircraft carrier to the Caribbean to bolster its controversial operation against alleged drug traffickers.
Ukraine's allies pledged to take Russian oil and gas off the global market.
And calls grow for more humanitarian corridors in Gaza,
as 15,000 Palestinians wait for medical evacuations.
Also in this podcast, we delve into the murky world of forged art.
It's quite difficult to fabricate 300 years or 400 years of history.
You've got to be able to replicate the master's hand.
And that is exceedingly difficult.
We begin in the United States as the US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that six male narco terrorists have been killed in the Caribbean.
It comes soon after President Trump said the US would just kill people
as it wages what he calls a war on those he claims are bringing drugs into the country.
Here's little of what Mr Hegseth has had to say on the issue.
Our message to these foreign terrorist organizations is we will treat you like we have treated Al-Qaeda.
We will find you, we will map your networks, we will hunt you down and we will kill you.
This is the 10th known attack
since September and just underlines again the fact that the US is stepping up what it's calling its counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics operation in the waters of Latin America.
As part of it,
the Pentagon has also announced it's deploying the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford to the region.
