The composer behind many James Bond films, David Arnold, has written a new 007 theme. But this time, it’s for the game.

Speaking to BBC’s Marc Cieslak, Arnold talks about composing the theme for 007 First Light, an origin‑story Bond game from IO Interactive, co‑written and sung by Lana Del Rey.

He explains why this version of Bond is different, how the song reflects a younger, unfinished 007, and why writing for games now feels like a natural extension of the Bond world.

Arnold also discusses what makes a great Bond theme, the legacy of the music, and whether he’d return to score another live‑action Bond film in the future.

Four astronauts. One historic mission.

Join the four crew members embarking on Nasa’s Artemis II mission, the first crewed journey to the moon in over fifty years.

From training to take off, we see what it really takes to travel further from the earth than ever before.

As the astronauts return to the moon, watch as they witness a total solar eclipse from deep space, navigate the unglamorous realities of survival in orbit, and ultimately return home with a dramatic splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

When the ceasefire deal was announced more than six months ago, there was celebration and relief in Gaza and Israel. But since the US-led Board of Peace announced plans to rebuild Gaza, the Trump administration’s attention has been occupied by other matters.

The success of the ceasefire deal hinges on Hamas disarmament and the full withdrawal of Israeli troops. So what progress has been made?

We speak to Yolande Knell, the BBC’s Middle East correspondent, about life inside Gaza since the Iran War began.

A US military blockade of maritime traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports is due to begin in a matter of hours on Monday 13 April.

The US says ships coming or going from elsewhere would be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway Iran effectively closed in response to US-Israeli strikes.

It comes after negotiators from both sides failed to reach a deal to end the war, which began on 28 February but is currently under a two-week truce.
