Last year, US President Donald Trump placed taxes on goods imported into the country, saying it would boost American manufacturing.

But instead of getting Congressional approval, the Trump administration used emergency law, allowing them to issue immediate orders and bypass Congress.

In August 2025, a US appeals court ruled that most of Trump's tariffs were illegal, but left them in place.

Now, the US Supreme Court has ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in imposing sweeping tariffs through a law reserved for a national emergency.

For the first time in modern history, a senior British royal has been arrested. On Thursday morning, police detained the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

King Charles stripped his brother of his royal titles last year over his association with late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and has issued a statement saying "the law must take its course", offering the Royal Family's "full and wholehearted support and co-operation" to those carrying out the investigation.

Our UK Correspondent Rob Watson tells us about the unprecedented developments, how damaging they are for the Royal Family, and what could happen next for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Andrew has previously denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he has not responded to the BBC’s requests for comment on any of the specific allegations in relation to the release of millions of Epstein files in January.

A British couple, who were detained by Iran, have been sentenced to 10 years for espionage.

Lindsey Foreman told the BBC it was hard to remain positive in prison, hours before she and her husband Craig were arrested while passing through Iran on a round-the-world motorcycle trip in January 2025.

In a rare telephone interview from Tehran's notorious Evin prison, Lindsay likened their detainment to "an endurance test for the mind" and said being in jail had taken a physical toll on her.

While the couple - who deny the accusation against them - has not spoken since the sentencing, their son described the decision as "gut-wrenching".

A controversial internet streamer who goes by the name Clavicular has taken the internet by storm, going to extreme lengths to try to enhance his looks – from using steroids and testosterone to hitting his face with a hammer.

Clavicular has become the poster boy for an online movement called ‘looksmaxxing’, centred on maximising physical attractiveness.

Like many subcultures, it has given rise to a whole new lexicon which is gradually migrating from the margins of the internet to the mainstream.

Asma Khalid and Tristan Redman speak to journalist and documentary filmmaker Matt Shea to find out whether Clavicular – and the movement he champions – is just another viral curiosity, or a strange symptom of modern masculinity.

A UN fact-finding mission has determined that evidence of atrocities carried out during the siege and takeover of the Sudanese city of el-Fasher points to genocide.

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) captured el-Fasher, located in the western region of Darfur, at the end of October after an 18-month blockade.

It was one of the most brutal chapters in Sudan's nearly three-year civil war and triggered widespread international outrage.

This is the closest the UN has come to declaring that genocide is being carried out by RSF fighters in Darfur during the current conflict.

The RSF has not commented on the report but has denied previous such accusations.

King Charles said he "learned with the deepest concern" of his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest, adding "the law must take its course".

Neither he nor Buckingham Palace were informed in advance of the arrest, the BBC understands.

Police have been carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, as well as at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park where Andrew lived until recently.

Photos show vehicles, believed to be police cars, arriving at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk earlier this morning.
