Trump triumphant
How former President Trump won a return to the White House; two months of war in Lebanon; anger in Valencia after Spain's lethal floods; hunting for food gets harder in Greenland
Donald Trump's resounding victory in the US election hands him a strong mandate for change at every level of government. Anthony Zurcher followed the presidential race from the outset – and reflects on how, despite a well-funded campaign by Kamala Harris, Team Trump made progress with voters from across American society.
Six weeks ago, following nearly a year of rocket exchanges, the long-running conflict between Hezbollah and Israel escalated dramatically. Orla Guerin describes what she's seen over the past two months of reporting in Lebanon.
In Spain, thousands of troops, civil guards and police have been helping clear the wreckage and help the victims of flash floods in Valencia that killed more than 200 people. Amid a febrile atmosphere of blame and recrimination, Nick Beake has been building a picture of how events unfolded - and how tragedy hit one family in particular.
In Greenland, the Inuit people living in the island’s most remote settlement are facing profound challenges to their traditional ways to survive - as warming seas and melting sea ice mean old hunting grounds are now off limits. Mark Stratton sailed into Ittoqqortoomiit to learn how tourism, TikTok and polar bears roaming the town have changed people's lives.
