in India, large public ceremony statement is wrong and misleading.
Check the length of the podcast. If it has more than 4:59, there’s a 1:33 of silence at the end. Be careful if you’re listening while driving: you’ll be trying to understand what’s going wrong and it’s a BBC fail.
Seriously?? Symantec's!! Afterall, this is only a 5 min. broadcast reporting on the 'current state of affairs' globally as it pertains to a deadly Pandemic ...highlighting relevant facts! For myself & I suspect the majority of listeners expect to hear the 'News' that may immediately impact their lives (either directly or indirectly) & the future of humanity. Any in-depth reporting is impossible in such a format. However, it can serve as a type of research roadmap to listeners who hear an update of 'specific interest to them' or want the 'whole story' I've been on the front lines since the beginning & although recovery rates is positive 'News' & offers a glimmer of hope it is not critical 'News' in a 5 min broadcast reporting on a Global Crisis. ...Just my opinion
Death toll passes 500,000 - news. Number of recovered over the same weekend - 5,000,000. Not news. Death toll passes 600,000 today - news. "Global Recovered" on the Johns Hopkins Dashboard passes 8,000,000 today - not news. I wonder why?
Hello
Hello please thanks
Are the older episodes being removed? If so, why?
This should be the Coronavirus / bash the US update. We get it, you don't like the US. Get over it and just report about the virus.
I'm calling bullshit on that dream 😒
This podcast is slightly helpful for those of us who can only listen to podcast and not read articles due to working. However, it is very short, and the summary in the beginning is just about as in depth as the rest of the podcast, so it feels redundant. There is also often super long empty air time at the end, which is really annoying when I want my next podcast to play but cannot hit the next button due to work. Cut out the empty space at the end and it is a very brief look at the situation globally. They do mention what Trump says a little more than necessary considering more important facts they could be stating, but otherwise it seems fair and reasonably unbiased.

What happened to the PM's "good spirits"?

The only good thing about it, it keeps me up to date daily.
Please use more appropriate titles. Not such clickbait in this time of need.
Is it just me or did this episode have an entire minute of silence at the end?
what about the mexico border???
