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

I'm Nick Miles and at 1330 GMT on Thursday the 10th of April, these are our main stories.

China says it won't back down in the face of a new 125% tariff imposed by President Trump.

Sudan has taken its case accusing the UAE of complicity in genocide to the
