Ukraine and Russia strike energy targets despite Trump claim and other stories | Global News Podcast

Published

on



There has been no pause in fighting between Russia and Ukraine, despite US President Donald Trump’s claim that both sides would temporarily stop targeting each other’s critical energy infrastructure. Russia says a gas pipeline was hit in the south of the country in an attack overnight, while officials in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine said Russian attacks had disrupted power supplies to some areas. Moscow has targeted Ukraine’s power grid throughout the war, leading to significant blackouts. Meanwhile, Kyiv has ramped up its strikes on oil refineries and other energy facilities, as its drones and missiles reach further into Russian territory.

I witnessed Christa Pike’s botched execution | BBC News

Published

on



In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.

Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.

As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.

The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.

This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.

You can watch more episodes of It Happened to Me on BBC iPlayer.
