| 0:00.0 | This is the Global News podcast from the BBC World Service. |
| 0:04.6 | I'm Alex Ritson and at 14 hours GMT on Thursday the 7th of November, these are our main stories. |
| 0:11.7 | Donald Trump's victory will have serious consequences for European security, |
| 0:17.3 | the ominous words of one Prime Minister as European leaders gather in Budapest. |
| 0:23.1 | 2024 looks set to be the hottest year on record and there's more chastening news on the environment. |
