UK and France agree migrant deal

Starmer and Macron are unveiling a "one in, one out" migrant deal.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and France's President Emmanuel Macron are unveiling a "one in, one out" migrant deal, with a pilot to begin within weeks. Starmer says migrants arriving via small boats will be "detained and returned to France in short order".

US President Donald Trump says he is planning to impose a 50% tax on goods made in Brazil, escalating his fight with the South American country. Trump accuses Brazil of "attacks" on US tech companies and of conducting a "witch hunt" against former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing prosecution over his alleged role in a plot to overturn the 2022 election. In response, Brazil's president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has said he's ready to reciprocate. We hear from Brazilians.

And the UN programme on HIV/Aids says the sudden withdrawal of US funding this year has disrupted treatment and prevention programmes around the world. We explain what the new report says.
