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

I'm Janet Jaliel and at 13 hours GMT on Friday the 18th of April, these are our main stories.

The US threatens to walk away from Ukraine peace talks if real progress isn't made within days.

US strikes on a key oil terminal in a Houthi-controlled part of Yemen are reported to

have killed nearly 60 people. Sudan's biggest camp for displaced people is destroyed by RSF rebels.

Also in this podcast, what will the new Islamist-led government in Syria mean for religious minorities.

We are not just Muslims in Syria. It is a diverse society. The priority for us is to learn music,

theatre, how to film. It is more important than building a mosque. And could it be a game-changer?

The artificial heart transplanted into a small boy in China.

But first, time is running out to agree a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Donald Trump famously

promised to end the war within a day if he became US.S. president. But having failed to extract any major

concessions from Russia, Mr. Trump has recently been showing growing signs of frustration,

and this week again blamed Ukraine for starting the war. Now his top diplomat, Marco Rubio,

has warned that if there isn't real progress soon, America will simply walk away.

This despite Ukraine taking the first step towards signing a controversial minerals deal with the US.

After a day of talks in Paris with European leaders, Mr. Rubio sounded this warning.

So we came here yesterday to try to figure out very soon, and I'm talking about a matter of days, not a matter of weeks, whether or not this is the war that can be ended.

If it can, we're prepared to do whatever we can to facilitate that and make sure that it happens, that it ends in a durable and just way.

If it's not possible, if we're so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president's probably at a point where he's going to say, well, we're done.

We'll do what we can on the margins. We'll be ready to help whenever you're ready to have peace.

But we're not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end.

So what could this mean for Ukraine?
