This is the Global News podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Robin Brandt and in the early hours of Tuesday the 19th of September,

these are our main stories. Canada says it's told India of its concerns that Indian

intelligence services might be connected to the killing of an exiled Sikh leader.

Five American prisoners who were detained for years in Iranian jails are on their way home

as part of a complex exchange deal mediated by Qatar. And world leaders meeting at the

United Nations in New York have warned that global attempts to end extreme poverty

and tackle climate change are in reverse. Also in this podcast.

At 80 million dollars a pop, the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter is not the kind of

thing you want to lose if you can help it. But that is exactly what has happened.

And now the U.S. military is appealing to the public to help it find its stealth

fighter jet following a mishap over South Carolina.

We start in Canada where the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Indian government

could be behind the fatal shooting of a Canadian citizen in June in Canada.

The Sikh leader Hadi Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside a Sikh temple on the 18th of

June in British Columbia. Mr Trudeau made the announcement in a statement to Parliament.

Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link

between agents of the government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen,

Hadi Singh Nijjar. Our top priorities have been one that our law enforcement and security

agencies ensure the continued safety of all Canadians and two that all steps be taken

to hold perpetrators of this murder to account. Mr Nijjar was a prominent Sikh leader in British

Columbia, often voicing his support for separatists. India in the past had raised concerns about

campaigners like him. Well, I heard more from the BBC's Nadine Yousef who is in the Canadian

city of Toronto. Hadi Singh Nijjar, he is a prominent Sikh activist and leader here in Canada

and he was murdered in mid-June at a parking lot outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia,

specifically the city of Suri. Police at the time said that he was shot dead by two masked men.

India has previously sort of identified Mr Nijjar as a terrorist and he said that he

has led a militant separist group and at the time of his death he was actually in the process of

planning a local referendum here in Canada on the creation of an independent Sikh state in India.

And so since his death, you know, because of the accusation that the Indian government has

leveled against him, his supporters here in Canada have been quite vocal and they've accused India of

being behind his murder and at the time police said it was a targeted incident but they didn't

specify who could be behind his killing. And from the very beginning when this happened,

were there suspicions or were there local or national politicians pointing the finger at the

Indian state? Politicians for the most part had been accusing India directly prior to today.

We had one leader, the New Democratic Party here in Canada. He sort of mentioned that Canada

should look at the murder of Mr Nijjar, that it's serious, that it's clearly a targeted incident and

that it needs to investigate it. But nobody had sort of leveled such a clear accusation against India

up until today. Now his supporters have, you know, accused India of being behind the murder and,

you know, Mr Nijjar prior to his death has said that he felt that he was being targeted and that

he was receiving threats. So it was certainly part of the conversation, just not on a political

level. What about the specifics of what Justin Trudeau has said in Parliament today? I mean,

has he just leveled the accusation? Has he pointed the finger? Are there more details?

So he basically said that Canadian intelligence has found a credible link between India and the

murder, which happened on Canadian soil. What he specifically said is that they found that agents

of the Indian government may have carried out the killing. So that is specifically what he said.

He wasn't very clear on details. They've been a bit vague on it, saying that the murder investigation

is currently undergoing and they don't want to jeopardize it by saying too much. But essentially,

he did point a clear link between what Canadian intelligence saying India and the murder of Mr

Nijjar. So the murder investigation is ongoing. And at the same time, the Prime Minister has stood

up and pointed the finger at the Indian government. That's what's happened. Yes, he seems to think that

he has enough evidence that links India to the murder. But you know, we have not seen any of

that evidence. It has not been made public. But you know, I should say that this kind of comes

after a testi meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Justin Trudeau at last week's G20 summit

in which Prime Minister Modi accused Canada of not doing enough to address what he called

anti India activities of extreme elements on Canadian soil. And so the relationship between

the two has been testi for some time. It's sort of culminated in today's announcement.

Nadine Yusef in Toronto. And I should add, as we record this podcast, that there's been no comment

from India on Monday's allegations. Though in the past, its government has denied any involvement.

Now, five Americans with dual Iranian nationality have been freed after spending years in prison

in Iran. Tehran will gain access to $6 billion worth of oil revenue as part of a rare and complex

deal that's been brokered by Qatar. Five Iranians have also been released from U.S. jails. On Monday

afternoon, the Americans were flown to the Qatari capital, Doha, where they embraced U.S. officials

and each other. President Biden announced fresh sanctions on Iran, saying it would continue to

pay for its provocative actions. Our chief international correspondent, least you said,

was there as the prisoners plane landed in Doha.

The Qatar Airways plane finally landed as the sun was setting here in Doha. This was the moment

which confirmed that five American citizens were finally free. One of them, 51-year-old Siamak Namazi,

said in a statement their nightmare was over. He said he had dreamed of this day every one

of the 2,898 days he was held in Iran, most of them in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran.

On the tarmac, the former prisoners embraced the waiting American and Qatari officials,

then walked arm in arm. Inside the terminal, they took a call from the U.S. Secretary of State,

Anthony Blinken. He issued a statement in Washington shortly after.

Today, their freedom, the freedom of these Americans for so long, unjustly imprisoned and

detained in Iran, means some pretty basic things. Husbands and wives, fathers and children,

grandparents can hug each other again. The moment the plane touched down in Doha, U.S.

President Joe Biden announced new sanctions against senior Iranian officials for their role

in what he called wrongful detentions. U.S. officials insist that the Iranian money released

in this deal will only be accessed by third parties for the purchase of non-sanctioned goods,

such as food and medicine. The former prisoners, now on their way home, thank the U.S. President

for putting their lives above politics. At least you set watching the plane land in Doha.

Well, there has been plenty of criticism of the deal in the United States,

with some people suggesting it would only encourage more hostage-taking.

Perhaps to forestall such criticism, the U.S. imposed further sanctions, as we've just mentioned,

on Iran's intelligence ministry and on the former Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I spoke to our North America correspondent, Nader Tophik, who's in New York,

and asked her about the criticism of the U.S.-Iran deal.

Several Republicans, both senators and representatives in Congress, have come out to say

that while the U.S. should be unrelenting in its efforts to bring home

detained Americans, that this now will just embolden America's enemies to turn to hostage-taking,

that it will put more Americans' safety and security at risk. And even Senator Ted Cruz of

Texas went as far to allege that the Biden administration had struck a secret nuclear

deal with the Iranian regime that was being kept from Congress and the American people.

So we've heard that criticism. They're also pointing to the dollar amount here,

the $6 billion that has been unfrozen. But the White House has really hit back

at these comments. They've said that the utmost priority for President Biden is to bring Americans

home, that that's above politics. And they say that these $6 billion in funds that are in South

Korea were payments that South Korea actually made to Iran for purchase of oil years ago,

including during the last administration. And they say that it will only go to humanitarian

transactions, food, medicine, agricultural products, and that if they find that Iran is trying to

divert those funds, that they will take action to lock it up. And what we've really seen is

statements from all of the families saying they are grateful to President Biden for making the

difficult but necessary decision to prioritize American citizens over politics. Each of the

families put out that statement. So clearly this is a very political, controversial decision.

But from those five Americans' families, they have made a point to be public in thanking President

Biden. I mean, is there a hope and ambition where you are in Washington and maybe perhaps at the

United Nations that this will lower tensions between Iran and the U.S.? It's a good sign in

terms of their very fragile relationship? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm here at the start of the U.N.

General Assembly. We heard from the Secretary General Spokesperson saying that, look, whenever

there's cooperation like this, they're hopeful that it could help when there is a bit of unity,

even if it is on just one very isolated incidence. But other diplomats we spoke to, including

Secretary Blinken, made it very clear that they don't see this as a major change in Iran-U.S.

relations. And this is very much different from, say, the nuclear deal negotiations.

Not at all thick in New York. So how is Monday's news being viewed in Iran? Well,

my colleague, Rebecca Kespie, spoke to Adnan Tabatabye, an Iranian analyst currently in Tehran.

Obviously, it is reported as a big triumph for the Islamic Republic and that, in fact,

the American side now had to give in. But at the same time, there is also the attempt,

at least by the Foreign Ministry, to try and link it to the potential revitalization of

the talks regarding the nuclear agreement. So it, in fact, goes both ways.

Interesting. And so what are your thoughts? Do you think that is possible? Because this,

I mean, it seems like a dramatic movement to have these five detainees released. Could part of the

understanding from Tehran been to try to encourage a better relationship with the United States?

At least it can open the path towards some more meaningful talks. We have to take into

consideration that any resumption of the nuclear talks or anything close to the revitalization

of the nuclear agreement had to be sold to the domestic scene, both in Tehran and in Washington.

And in order to be able to do that, some sort of breakthrough in other fields and other domains

had to be championed. And I think that this prisoner swap allows both sides to tell their

domestic audience we achieved something. And now we have some sort of justification to maybe pursue

with talks on other issues as well. Adnan Tabatabye in Tehran. World leaders meeting at the United

Nations have warned that attempts to end extreme poverty and tackle climate change are going in

reverse. The UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, called for a new plan to rescue the

goals for sustainable development. James Lendell is in New York. The so-called Sustainable Development

Goals, known as SDGs, were supposed to be met by 2030. Mr. Guterres wants UN leaders to promise

a £400 billion cash stimulus to kickstart the SDGs, new forms of debt relief for poorer countries,

and more focus from international banks on development needs. In a statement, the world

leaders promised action on these issues. But diplomats and charities fear the global cost

of living crisis and geopolitical divisions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine may make it harder

for countries to focus on the Sustainable Development Goals, let alone agree how to get them back on

track. We're going to go to Ukraine now, where the government continues to fight Russian forces on

multiple fronts. But the Zelensky government is also engaged in its own internal battles against

corruption. The country's new Defence Minister, Rustan Umarov, has removed six of his deputies,

just weeks after he was brought in, partly in the wake of allegations surrounding corruption

in defence procurement. The reshuffle comes as Ukraine's military is reporting its forces

are recapturing more territory in the east of the country. I spoke to our key correspondent,

James Waterhouse, for the latest and I started by asking him what's behind this apparent reboot

at the Defence Ministry. Now on a surface level, a minister replacing his whole team is unsurprising

and he will want to have his best people in his eyes closest to him. So those who've been removed

include the rather prominent military spokesperson Anna Mila, who many will have seen behind podiums,

giving updates on situations across the front line in military uniform. She was recently criticised

for giving reports that were ultimately not the case in terms of liberation. Now it's a difficult

job, you could argue, in briefing journalists on a fast-moving situation. But I think if you

look at Anna Mila, if you look at Mr Umarov's predecessor, Alexei Reznikov, they have struggled

to keep claims of corruption out of the ministry. Can I ask you about her though? And it seems to

me from what you said that maybe this was someone who was spinning too much, frankly,

and when expectation management about the spring offensive is so important, particularly maybe

with audiences in Capitol Hill in Washington DC, maybe that's another reason she's gone?

I think the government is trying to both appeal to its population saying, look, when we mobilise

you, when we call you up to fight, we are doing so through a system that is credible. But there is

also an international audience that President Zelensky is pandering to as well. He and Ukraine

have long had political ambitions of joining the European Union and NATO. It is continuing to

receive billions of dollars of military and humanitarian aid. This feeds into that as well.

Just one quickly on those operational issues on the battlefield. Are we seeing signs today,

perhaps, of some successes in Bakhmut or is that not the case?

We are seeing probing attacks. Well, they go beyond probing, really. Certainly we've seen two villages

taking south of Bakhmut. We've seen Ukrainian infantry sustain a sizable land grab south of

Zaporizia, where it is desperately hoping to punch through. But that punch we have not seen

yet. They've broken through the Russian first lines of defence. But I think the most interesting

area we are seeing at the moment are these successful missile attacks by the Ukrainians

on targets in Crimea, when we're talking about naval bases, when we're talking about Russian

air defence systems. You can see what is happening here. There is the bread and butter of trying

to liberate territory kilometre by kilometre. But they are also trying to isolate Russian troops

by taking out air defence systems, supply lines, to bring the question of Crimea into question.

At the moment, Robin, it is Crimea, a place Russia has tried to portray as a fortress,

which is looking more fragile for the occupiers at the moment.

James Waterhouse in Ukraine. The US military has appealed to the public to help it find an

advanced stealth fighter jet that's gone missing. Officials say the F-35 war plane simply vanished

following what's been described as a mishap over the state of South Carolina. The pilot ejected

safely. Our North America correspondent, Gary O'Donohue, has more. At $80 million a pop,

the F-35 Lightning II's joint strike fighter is not the kind of thing you want to lose,

if you can help it. But that's exactly what the US Marine Corps seems to have done. Not on the

hostile environment of the battlefield, taking incoming fire, but somewhere over a small part

of South Carolina. Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 released a statement yesterday

after the pilot ejected from the plane describing the incident as a mishap and asking for the

public's help to find it. The Marine Corps was tight-lipped on whether the plane's transponder

was activated or not, which should allow them to locate it. More worryingly, questions to the

military have elicited a resounding silence on whether the jet was carrying any armaments.

The search is focused around two lakes between the cities of Charleston

and the state capital, Columbia, a distance of about 100 miles, but so far to no avail.

And to save anyone the trouble of looking it up, it's not all that close to the Bermuda Triangle.

Gary O'Donoghue. Still to come.

Do you find those sounds really irritating? I definitely find the second one irritating.

Well, help, maybe at hand.

We've been reporting a lot from Libya in the last week and we're going to go back to

Derna in eastern Libya now where hundreds of people have taken to the streets to demand

accountability for the devastating floods which swept through the city a week ago.

Thousands of people died when two dams collapsed. Rescue workers are still pulling bodies from the

sea and ruined buildings. Our correspondent Anna Foster is there. She sent this report.

Turkish rescuers have brought us into this normally sealed off zone where they are

searching for victims. They're using all of the experience that they brought from the

earthquake in Turkey back in February and in this area you can see how high the water came

into these buildings. There are tree roots and branches 20 to 30 meters above the ground and

they've recovered victims from the fifth and sixth stories of these apartment blocks.

And the sound that you can hear is heavy lifting equipment that is finding new channels,

new ways for them to get inside and search for more victims.

Amid the grief and anger is that urgent task of rebuilding lives. Figures from the UN say tens

of thousands of survivors have been displaced by the flooding. Some have left Derna, others

are living with family and buildings like this school have been repurposed as shelters.

It's quite noisy and echoy here in the school corridor where the children are playing but

if we walk into one of the classrooms through the doorway and past a blanket that's been hung

up over the tables to give just a little bit of privacy. This is where families are living and

obviously they don't have really any of their possessions. Everything was washed away but

you can see where there are donated mattresses, donated blankets and families now sleeping

in each of these classrooms all the way along the school corridor.

Ana Foster in Derna, well there is continuing controversy and so many questions about why

those two dams above the city failed with such devastating consequences. The head of the eastern

administration in Divided Libya has blamed nature for the failure of the two dams but the Libyan

hydrologist Abdul Wani Sashor disagrees and he's been speaking to my colleague Julian Marshall via

a translator. Today I've been looking at the designs of the architect company that designed

these dams and actually their report from 1970 has recommended building three dams not just two

because the company building the dams and recommending this design recommended three

different dams but the government of Libya only built two and did not go ahead with building the

third one so these two were overloaded and in particular said the women's sewer been overloaded

hydraulically with more water than it can contain and that's what led to this disaster and in

undating Derna with all these floodwaters. I mean documents released this week show a contract

was issued to a Turkish company in 2020 to strengthen both dams yet no work was done. We were aware of

this. I've been aware of this since 2010 not just 2020. I've been a professor at Omar Al Mokhtar

University Derna campus so ever since 2010 I've been driving on that road I've been driving over

the body of the dam and I remember seeing the Turkish company operating there it started functioning

there to strengthen the body of the dam in 2010 but came 2011 with the Arab Spring or the Libyan

Revolution so they stopped everything and they up the sticks and removed all the equipment so work

had stopped came 2020 and the company came back having been given a new contract at new costs

and nothing had been done since even though they got the contract but they hadn't started working.

The Libyan hydrologist Abdul Wanis Ashur. Now scientists here in the UK in Scotland say they've

discovered an alternative to an ingredient that is estimated to be in half of all food and cosmetic

products and it's blamed as well for deforestation across the world. A research team from Queen

Margaret University in Edinburgh say their alternative to palm oil is actually healthier

for humans. They also say it would mean significant environmental benefits in places where natural

forest habitat has been replaced with vast palm oil plantations. One of the lead developers on

the project Katrina Liddle has been telling my colleague Evan Davismore. Palm oil is a very

cultivated product that's grown in various exotic areas of the planet and it's very saturated and

it's also really quite unsustainable so we've created a product that's a lot more sustainable

around about 70% less carbon emissions and it's considerably healthier so we've been able to get

a 30% calorie reduction, 30% fat reduction and over 80% saturated fat reduction. And what is it?

What is your product? It's a combination of rapeseed oil and some clever fibers and proteins.

Right and as I understand it palm oil which is used ubiquitously in food and and cosmetics

is very difficult to replace so this is something of been a long hard search for scientists.

Yeah I mean there's two things there's two different goals here one is the sustainability

thing and another is the health one. Some people are going just for the sustainability thing and

we're trying to do both at the same time so it is a challenge but we've actually tested this out

in a number of different products mostly bakery so cakes, biscuits, shortbreads those kind of things

and we have put it through what's called a specialist sensory panel so a trained panel

and they can't distinguish the difference. Kefirina just explain to me why we use palm oil

so much why we need a replacement for it and why we don't just use less of it and just have

because you know when we cook at home we don't pour palm oil into things. Well you do that's a

thing because it's in so many of the ingredients you cook with as well so it's sent everything

from margarine to cake to sauces to peanut butter it's in everything really it's in a lot of

different products so you are by definition cooking with palm fat anyway. Why do we use so

much of it it's as opposed to other forms of fat? It's very functional it's gives you really good

texture and flavor in your own product gives you a great shelf life and you know so for all these

things it's like a really functional ingredient so it's a shame that it's just really unhealthy and

it's not very sustainable but functional is a great ingredient to use from a taste and

texture profile point of view. Kefirina little on a replacement for the ubiquitous palm oil.

Now I'm sorry about this quite a few people have an irrational hatred of certain everyday

sounds and if that sounds like you you might find the following noises slightly jarring.

I really don't like the apple eating. Well for those of you with this condition you'll be pleased

that it has a name. Misophonia is what it's called and a new book sounds like misophonia

examines the phenomenon. The author has led a study that concludes that nearly one in five people

have it in some form. Jane Gregory wrote the book from the Department of Experimental Psychology at

the University of Oxford and Evan Davis asked her what her personal experience with misophonia is.

When I was younger it was like a real rage I just got an instant flash of anger when I heard these

sounds and couldn't concentrate on anything else. I remember at school I used to have to

had a Walkman that I would like feed up through my school uniform and had the clanking tape in my

pocket playing music so that I could literally so I could concentrate in class because of the clicking

pens and all the wrestling of paper and all that sort of stuff. Nowadays the main

way it affects me is if I'm really trying to concentrate and there's a ticking clock or

pigeons outside my window or something pulling my attention away that's when I get the most

frustrated but I don't get that intense rage anymore but I know that a lot of people get that

sort of feeling of anger or panic in response to these sounds. Yeah that sounds much more serious.

I have a particular thing with chewing gum. I'm okay if I'm chewing gum and someone else's

chewing gum. If they're chewing gum and I'm not chewing gum I do feel intense irritation but I wonder

how much I should blame myself for that of just being perhaps a bit intolerant. It's different

for chewing of gum. I do find that irritating. I don't find it annoying if they're eating an apple

or if they're drinking a glass of water but what is the difference between just being intolerant

and easily annoyed and having misophonia? It seems to be something slightly different happening

in the brain and misophonia so it's not just feeling annoyed by it. It's that the brain has

somehow sort of paired these sounds with a really intense emotional reaction. It's almost like a

fight or flight kind of response so it's not just being annoyed and most people could relate to

being annoyed. It's more that really intense sort of physical reaction and something just different

happening in the brain which they've shown in studies using brain scans that you can actually

see different connections happening in the brain when people react with misophonia.

Okay so that that is useful to know. Now what do you do about it? What is the best way of living

in human society where these noises are routine and you're going to be very unlucky to stop people

making any any kinds of sounds clearing their throats or coughing or clicking a pen? What's

the best way of treating it? Yeah they're really normal human sounds so it is pretty hard to tell

people to just stop living basically because most people aren't doing these sounds deliberately and

sometimes the sounds are excessive but you're right it's really hard to tell people to stop

doing those sounds. So on a day-to-day basis lots of people with misophonia just have earplugs or

headphones or something ready to go with them if they need to be able to concentrate or get away

from a sound. The sort of longer term change and this is one of the things that I talk about in the

book is is actually trying to create new experiences with those sounds so that you can change those

brain connections and actually get a less intense reaction to the sounds.

What's gone wrong with the brain that it suffers from this? It's interesting isn't it? I mean is

there some evolutionary reason that you can think of why the brain might overreact? I can see why

people get terrified of spiders or snakes you know these can be dangerous but a clicking pen for

goodness sake how can that be a what's going on in the head that that would that that would occur?

Yeah well if like if you use the example of spiders and snakes that's a really good example

because it's reasonable to be afraid of spiders and snakes but also if you live in a country where

spiders aren't dangerous and you still have a really intense fear reaction as though they are

really dangerous then your brain has made a connection with spiders that is disproportionate

to the actual level of danger and that's probably a better comparison for misophonia is that these

are sounds that if you're walking home late at night it would be really good for your brain to

be able to tune into footsteps so you could hear someone was following you or something like that

long ago when we were living out on the plains being able to see a rustle in the grass of a

potential predator or something like that being able to tune into these sounds does have a survival

feature for the group so it makes sense that some of us pay attention to these sounds and

don't tune them out but just like somebody who can't even look at a picture of a spider even though

they live in a country where spiders aren't dangerous some people with misophonia react to

those sounds as if there is immediate danger or threat or violation or some kind of social

threat maybe which is disproportionate to the level of danger Jane Gregory from Oxford University

now let's end on the Italian fishing industry which is battling a plague of blue crabs an

invasive and predatory species that has been having a dramatic impact on traditional shellfish

production off the Italian coast some reports suggest as many as 90 percent of Italy's young

clams have been devoured by the crabs but one person's invasive pest is another person's

culinary opportunity it seems Tim Franks spoke to Yim Hong-su a specialist on Korean food

and director of the Korean culture and arts center in the UK maybe it could be

disaster to Italian people but in the view of Korean side it is kind of festival a festival

in what way so festival in a delicious way because the people the Korean people really

loves the crabs and that they are making many different types of foods with the crabs so

at the moment when Korean people heard about the blue crab crisis in italia why they are

get rid of the blue crabs because we can enjoy the crabs so in other words the Italians

South Koreans are thinking the Italians are mad to throw this stuff away because

because it's absolutely delicious is there a hope in South Korea that even if the Italians don't

have a taste for the blue crab that they'll end up being exported to South Korea so they are trying

to import blue crabs from italia to Korea in very cheap prices I tried in Tunisia last year

it was great could make prices season the blue crab can defy it we can steam it and we can shallow

fry it so fry it many many different way to enjoy the blue crabs right so that's fascinating so you

you went to Tunisia recently in order to taste the blue crab I mean presumably this is an invasive

species for Tunisia as well same species same species yeah but I mean but not native to the

the waters of North Africa and what was Tunisia doing with the blue crab was it was it being I

mean I can't believe it's much part of Tunisian cuisine so were they exporting the blue crab to

South Korea yes they also had a big problem with the blue crabs the embassy of Korea in Tunisia

they found the blue crab it was like a treasure so they introduced the blue crab to Korea market

now they are selling many tons of blue crab to South Korea at the moment you mentioned several

ways of using the blue crab in food dishes but there's one dish that I will now mispronounce

which is kanjanggejang right your pronunciation is almost as good as mine tell me about this one

other dish which I think is a particular specialty so kanjanggejang means the salted fermented crab

in Korean cuisine so basically we are using very salty soy sauce and also we are adding some flavor

with the garlic ginger spring onions pear pepper this is very salty but very tasty and many people

are calling kanjanggejang is the rice sieve because that kanjanggejang is make us to eat more rice than

normal it is really amazingly great and very tasty yim hun su from the korean culture and

arts center in the uk on his country's love for the blue crab right that's all from us for now but
