The US v China: critical minerals race | Global News Podcast
Critical minerals – used in the production of smart phones, electric car batteries and wind turbines – have become a hot geopolitical bargaining chip.
Demand for these precious natural resources, like cobalt, lithium and copper is growing rapidly, especially as countries turn to green energy solutions.
Securing America’s supply of the minerals is a key priority for President Trump – who has announced the launch of a US stockpile called ‘Project Vault’ and held a summit in Washington of more than 50 countries, to establish a trading bloc that could counter China – which dominates the global supply chain.
At the same time, The International Energy Agency has told the BBC that cooperation on the supply of such minerals is vital for the future of renewable energy and that supply and demand issues in future would pose a huge challenge for energy security.
We speak to the BBC’s business reporter Jonathan Josephs, who has been in touch with the head of The International Energy Agency’s new critical minerals division to find out what the future holds.

Two years to the day since the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Siberian prison, floral tributes have been left in Moscow by supporters.
The UK and allies have blamed the Kremlin following analysis of material samples found on his body, which shows he was killed using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin.
According to Tass news agency, Moscow has dismissed the finding as “an information campaign”, but UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said there is no explanation for the toxin, called epibatidine, being found.

Iron Lung is YouTuber Markiplier’s debut sci‑fi horror film, based on the hit indie game where a convict explores an ocean made entirely of blood – alone. The movie debuted with a $17.8M opening weekend, climbing past $43M worldwide.
Markiplier wrote, directed, financed, and starred in the film, and he’s been open about the production’s wildest challenge: using more fake blood than any movie before it. As a result, real‑world blood donation drives took place across the US, with fans lining up to give blood after screenings.
Markiplier worked closely with game creator David Szymanski to keep the world authentic, relying heavily on physical effects. He spoke to Newsbeat’s Naomi de Souza about the film and its challenges.
