As we say goodbye to 2025,
our reporters are looking back at some of the most memorable international stories they covered in the last year.
From a city in Africa emerging from war to resilient Indian turtles,
liberated refugees to defiant Austrian nuns,
global favorites from the last year,
listen to State of the World on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exchanged praise during their meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.
But as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports,
tensions remain over Gaza and Israeli actions in the West Bank.
President Trump says he doesn't agree with Netanyahu 100% on the West Bank,
though he didn't air his concerns in public.
He also didn't criticize Israel for its continued strikes inside Gaza.
Asia has lived up to the plan 100%.
But there's still a lot of work ahead for Trump's 20-point plan.
He has yet to announce a board of peace or say when an international force will be in place.
And Hamas has shown no signs it will give up its power or weapons.
In the meantime, the humanitarian situation remains dire,
with reports of children dying from cold, wet weather.
