--:-- Paul Moss: This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Paul Moss, and in the early hours of Saturday the 6th of September, these are our main stories. President Trump has signed an order changing the name of the US Department of Defense to the Department of War, calling the rebranding appropriate for the state of the world.
--:-- Paul Moss: And US officials say hundreds of South Koreans have been arrested in a raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia. Also in this podcast... The force is with you, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet. Darth Vader's lightsaber is sold for more than $3 million.
--:-- Paul Moss: What's in a name? A famous question posed by Shakespeare. But it might well be asked of the White House, because Donald Trump has officially ordered that the Department of Defense should be renamed the Department of War. It's been called the Department of Defense since 1949.
--:-- Paul Moss: But signing the order in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump seemed to suggest it had been given that name as a concession to liberal sensibilities. We won the First World War. We won the Second World War. We won everything before that and in between. And then we decided to go Woke and we changed the name to Department of Defense.
--:-- Paul Moss: So we're going Department of War. We have the strongest military in the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world. Every element of the military, we make the best by far.
--:-- Pete Hegseth: The War Department is going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts. It's going to fight to win, not not to lose. We're going to go on offense, not just on defense. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct.
--:-- Pete Hegseth: We're going to raise up warriors, not just defenders. In fact, the US president isn't actually allowed to change the name of the Department of Defense. He needs Congress's approval.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: Well, loaded with optics, isn't it? President Trump is doing this by way of an executive order, but will need congressional approval. That is very clear.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: The department will initially use the new name as a secondary title while the administration seeks congressional approval to make the change permanent.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: Now, the order says the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who, as you pointed out, will now be known as Secretary for War, it instructs him to recommend and include legislative and executive actions to move towards the permanent renaming of this department.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: But this would lie, the responsibility would solely rest with the U.S. Congress. But last month, in an indication, the president, while speaking to reporters, had said that he was confident that the Congress would support the idea if it did come down to that where their support was needed.
--:-- Paul Moss: So it really remains to be seen how this actually plays out. Well, so much for the labels. We heard Pete Hegseth there rising to his new title.
--:-- Paul Moss: Now, bear in mind that Donald Trump rose to power promising not to get involved in foreign wars. When you have that sort of very militant talk, lethal use, do you think it marks a change in stance?
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: Well, you know, it's also interesting and important to bear in mind that this is being pushed by a president who has tried to portray himself as a leader who is trying to stop wars, right?
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: He doesn't lose any opportunity to remind people of the role that he believes he's played in resolving global conflicts around the world.
--:-- Paul Moss: Some will be critical of this decision and perhaps see it as contradictory that here's a president who, on the one hand, wants to be seen as a peacemaker, but then also wants to replace the word defense with war.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: They're reverting to a name used for over 150 years until just after World War II. And the message is clear. It's a muscular sort of message. It's not just about defense, but by using the name war, it's also about going on the offense.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: In fact, in a statement now from the Department of War, it says, while we hope for peace, we will prepare for war. Defense isn't enough. We've got to be ready to strike and dominate our enemies.
--:-- Paul Moss: So it's a more aggressive stance when it comes to talking about conflict in the armed forces. So I think this will be seen in that light.
--:-- Paul Moss: And Donald Trump has repeatedly flirted with this idea. But the timing, some also point out, is very interesting. You know, coming days after what we saw was that massive military parade in China where Beijing showcased their firepower, which was also seen as a clear message to the U.S. and its allies.
--:-- Arunajai Mukherjee: Arunaday Mukherjee.
--:-- Paul Moss: And we're staying with matters, America, because since coming to power, Donald Trump has had a simple message for foreign manufacturers. If you want to sell your goods in the US, build them in the US.
--:-- Paul Moss: Well, one company doing that is the Korean car firm Hyundai, which has a factory in the state of Georgia, a factory which on Thursday was targeted by immigration officials.
--:-- Paul Moss: They arrested hundreds of people in a raid on the complex. My colleague James Menendez got more details from our North America correspondent, correspondent Nomiya Iqbal, who explained that this is fast becoming an international incident.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: South Korea itself has said that it's concerned and regretful. It expressed that to the US embassy. So at the moment, the details are a little bit vague, but this is all part of Donald Trump's big mass deportation plan.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: And agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE basically said that this was over unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: But they've not gone into exact details of what the crimes are. And as you mentioned, President Trump's made a big thing of deporting people who may be working in the US illegal.
--:-- Paul Moss: At the same time, though, he's also talked about foreign companies investing more in factories in the US. And I guess this is a prime example of that, isn't it?
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: It's really awkward, isn't it? Because yes, on the one hand, he wants foreign countries, he wants trade.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: And the South Korea president was only here a week ago, where they were talking about doing more trade. South Korea is the world's 10th largest economy.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: It's a major car electronics manufacturer. They've got companies have multiple plants in the US. And back in July, Seoul pledged about $350 billion in US investment.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: That was to try and lower President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on its products, which he ended up setting at 15%. And so this particular plant that was raided in Georgia the governor of Georgia Brian Kemp Republican who by the way has a very difficult relationship with Donald Trump had said last year when the plant was unveiled, this is the largest economic development in the history of the state.
--:-- Paul Moss: And so, yes, so you have it, that on one hand, they want investment in the US. But on the other hand, Donald Trump really wants to carry out this mass deportation plan.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: That was his big campaign promise. And this is what he's doing. But it's put him in quite a bind, I would say. So South Korea is not happy about it.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: I mean, has Hyundai given any more details about who the people might be and their relationship to the company? They've not given any details.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: All they said was that, just looking at the statement, that they are across it, but they understand that no one that they employed was arrested. So that's the only details that they've given so far.
--:-- Paul Moss: On a slightly related note, I guess, I mean, this comes against a sort of economic picture related to unemployment that seems to be darkening for President Trump, doesn't it?
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: Yeah, I mean, look, Donald Trump is, there's a lot of goals that he has certainly set.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: If you look at the first job reports, that's since Donald Trump fired the data chief, it's the US has added about 22,000 jobs in August.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: And that's actually much shorter than what was expected. So I think the expectation by economists was that the US would gain 75,000 jobs last month.
--:-- Paul Moss: But that's not actually happened. Donald Trump, as I mentioned, fired the head of the Bureau of Labour Statistics.
--:-- Nomiya Iqbal: And Donald Trump is trying to seek a major change in terms of who heads up the Bureau.
--:-- Paul Moss: It's been a pretty tumultuous day here in Britain on the political front. The leader of the right-wing party Reform outlined what it would do in government, which included a crackdown on immigration and cuts to welfare.
--:-- Paul Moss: Nigel Farage and Reform were once dismissed as cranks on the fringes of the political scene. But the party's now way ahead in the polls.
--:-- Paul Moss: It's built up support in part by scathing criticism of Britain's current political leadership And just as Mr Farage was getting ready to speak at his party's annual conference, the UK Deputy Prime Minister resigned in the wake of a financial scandal which had been dogging her for days.
--:-- Nigel Farage: There is a new, strong, unified party that speaks with one voice, that knows it's determined to put the interests of Britain and the British people above that of outdated international treaties or dubious courts.
--:-- Nigel Farage: We are the patriotic party. We are the party that stands up for decent working people and we are the party on the rise.
--:-- Paul Moss: Reform won just five seats at the last general election so how have they ended up being tipped to win the next one?
--:-- Rob Watson: I think the answer to that, Paul, is that there is just a large chunk of the electorate in Britain that thinks that the two parties, first of all, the Conservatives for 14 years, but now one year of Labour, just haven't tackled the three issues that matter the most of them, and that is stagnating living standards, a sense of public services, the state crumbling, and levels of immigration which many people consider too high.
--:-- Rob Watson: In addition to that, of course, the Reform Party, particularly its leader, Nigel Farage, has been extremely effective at communication.
--:-- Rob Watson: I mean, I think it's worth pointing out, Paul, that, of course, they haven't won the election yet. They're ahead in the polls, but there is at least four years to go to the next general election.
--:-- Paul Moss: But I would say this, and I think this is the real significance. What Britain is seeing now is what has happened in other European countries. And that is Britain now has, like France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and others, it has a significant party on the populist right and that is something we haven't had in Britain before.
--:-- Rob Watson: We have it now.
--:-- Paul Moss: Type 2 diabetes is a serious medical condition, one that's become increasingly common across the world. So it's obviously a blow for people when they're told they have diabetes.
--:-- Paul Moss: It requires not just medical intervention but also a change of diet and sometimes a change of one's overall lifestyle. But for 55,000 people in the UK, there was a twist to the diagnosis. They were told they had diabetes and then months later it emerged they didn't and that this was all down to a fault in the testing machines.
--:-- Paul Moss: Among those given false information was Vicky Davis. I was fuming. I was really annoyed. And I've been annoyed since because it was a real stress.
--:-- Paul Moss: Having the diagnosis, when I first got it, I just thought, I can't believe it. I was really upset about it. It's been a long time being stressed and then all of a sudden I'm told I don't have it.
--:-- Hugh Pym: Britain's health service, known as the NHS, is still trying to work out exactly how many people were affected by this mistake.
--:-- Hugh Pym: But we know that some had already begun taking prescribed drugs to deal with a condition which they didn't actually have.
--:-- Hugh Pym: One patient said she suffered with stomach pain and dizziness after being given medicine to reduce blood glucose.
--:-- Hugh Pym: The Royal College of GPs said this would be of huge concern because of unnecessary distress and anxiety for patients and there would be a significant impact on workload, ensuring the correct tests were now carried out and records updated.
--:-- Hugh Pym: The manufacturer said it was working closely with the medicine's regulator and had contacted hospitals using the machines.
--:-- Hugh Pym: NHS England said the clinical risk was low and the problem affected about 10% of hospital labs.
--:-- Hugh Pym: But a spokesperson said work to establish whether other patients were affected was ongoing.
--:-- Paul Moss: Now, in an auction house far, far away, though not a long time ago, a piece of cinema history has been sold for a record sum.
--:-- Paul Moss: This was none other than the lightsaber wielded by Darth Vader in two of the original Star Wars films.
--:-- Paul Moss: And it went under the hammer for, believe it or not, $3.65 million.
--:-- Claire Runacres: If you're a Star Wars fan, this is one of the pieces of merch to own. Darth Vader's fighting lightsaber, used in one of the most famous scenes in the saga.
--:-- Claire Runacres: And Darth Vader, portrayed by David Prowse, battles Luke Skywalker in Cloud City. The Force is with you, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet.
--:-- Claire Runacres: The special effects expert Adam Savage was given a preview of the piece by Brandon Allinger from the auctioneer's prop store for his tested show.
--:-- Claire Runacres: Let's crack it open. They couldn't contain their excitement. Nobody has really ever seen this. It's been locked away for decades.
--:-- Claire Runacres: This has been in a private collection this whole time. Coming to light for the very first time, there's never been any decent pictures of it.
--:-- Claire Runacres: You get some looks at it in the movie. We've been able to screen match and photo match a couple small details, but most of the time it either Dave Prowse or Bob Anderson the stunt double and they got those big Darth Vader gloves wrapped around it.
--:-- Claire Runacres: So you get no details. You just see it. Adapted from the handle of a vintage camera it originally had a wooden blade attached, which was coloured in in glowing red by animators in post-production.
--:-- Claire Runacres: Now the bladeless, battered and scratched hilt holds the title of the highest-priced Star Wars item ever to go under the hammer.
--:-- Paul Moss: Still to come. I had the realisation that I want to make a washing machine that works for you, Divya, and I will bring this washing machine to you. The power of the humble washing machine to transform lives.

--:-- Paul Moss: According to a nationwide survey conducted by GeneSight, nearly 9 in 10 Americans who've been diagnosed with depression or anxiety believe that mental health medications are somewhat or very effective.
--:-- Paul Moss: However, despite that belief, more than half of those individuals say they have avoided taking medication due to concerns about potential side effects.
--:-- Paul Moss: That's why Dr. Whitney Brown, a family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner based in Alabama, often recommends genetic testing to our patients as part of their treatment journey.
--:-- Dr. Whitney Brown: As part of my treatment plan, I offer the GeneSightTest, which analyzes how a patient's genes may influence how they metabolize or respond to certain mental health medications.
--:-- Dr. Whitney Brown: It gives me insights and takes out some of the guesswork that can be associated with prescribing them.

--:-- Paul Moss: Israel has a new target in Gaza it says high-rise buildings the country's military said on Friday that multi-story structures were being used by Hamas and will be attacked in the coming days.
--:-- Paul Moss: And as if to prove the point one was destroyed just an hour later our Middle East Bureau chief Joe Floto explained more to my colleague James Kumarasamy.
--:-- Joe Floto: Gaza is a relatively flat area of land and the taller buildings give some kind of military advantage, the army say, to Hamas.
--:-- Joe Floto: So what they're doing is systematically destroying those buildings and we've had a very spectacular detonation of one of the few remaining high-rises left in Gaza City, the Mushtaha Tower in the Ramal area of the city.
--:-- Joe Floto: That was a sort of upmarket part of town, incidentally, where the BBC used to have its offices in that area.
--:-- Joe Floto: That tower block was destroyed thoroughly, but on the outskirts of Gaza City, this has been a relentless progression of the Israeli military and satellite pictures and mobile phone footage from the ground reveal that they haven't been going house to house to clear those buildings, they've just been destroying them.
--:-- Joe Floto: The level of destruction is extraordinary and as you'd expect there are casualties alongside that, the Ministry of Health in Gaza that is run by Hamas, but they say that in the last 24 hours 69 people have been killed and more than 400 have been injured in that assault.
--:-- Joe Floto: And video footage of a different sort released today by Hamas showing two of the hostages. Yeah, absolutely. It's a very calculated video.
--:-- Joe Floto: Two hostages who were abducted from the Nova dance party on October the 7th, Guy Gilboa Dalal and Alon Ogel. And they are shown in this video.
--:-- Joe Floto: And the video essentially tracks Guy Gilboa through Gaza City. It's very obvious that the car windows show what's going on behind. And they stop outside the ICRC offices inside Gaza just to let everyone know that they are in Gaza City.
--:-- Joe Floto: And he meets up with Alonohal. Both of them look pitifully thin and very, very pale, suggesting that they haven't seen any daylight at all in the last 700 days, which is how long this conflict has been going on.
--:-- Joe Floto: And the point of the video, I think, and one of the hostages mentioned that there are eight comrades, I think the message is that there are eight hostages in Gaza City and they're not going to move them.
--:-- Joe Floto: And this is some kind of signal from Hamas to the Israeli government to stop the assault. But that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
--:-- Paul Moss: In Israel itself, the failure to recover the remaining hostages and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reluctance to bring the war to an end have led to continued protests.
--:-- Paul Moss: Among those most critical of the government is the historian Fania Oz-Salberger, daughter of perhaps the most well-known Israeli writer, the late Amos Oz.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: Many of her fellow citizens, she says, have suspended their sense of empathy.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: Well, there have been polls that show that many Israelis are indifferent to Gaza or worse.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: This kind of poll is what I call a deeply post-traumatic poll. People haven't had time to breathe or to register their fear and their grief and their shock by the 7th of October.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: It's not going to last forever, this kind of emotional inability. And a lot of Israeli citizens and within the big demonstrations for the hostages and for ceasefire, you see a lot of signs saying, stop the suffering in Gaza.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: Do not cause hunger to innocence in Gaza. You see this in almost every demonstration.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: So we are coming up, you know, we are coming up and beginning to be able to empathize with the civilians and innocence of our fearful enemy.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: It does not help when people tell me, as a peace and democracy activist, you should hurry up and house Netanyahu while these people are sitting comfortably in their armchairs elsewhere and haven't been through the 7th of October.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: And I not surrounded by people who were through the 7th of October and do not have friends who were horrifically bereaved on the 7th of October.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: Fortunately I belong to this group and so do many thousands of Israelis. So we are trying to pick up pace in our anti anti coup d'etat policy, and of course, against the war and against racism.
--:-- Fania Oz-Salberger: It takes time. We are hoping to get there and we need the help and not the criticism of moderate people around the world.
--:-- Paul Moss: The various wars which have broken out in the Democratic Republic of Congo are known for having many different factions fighting each other, with different conflicts sometimes overlapping, ethnic clashes, battles over land, and with surrounding countries sometimes getting involved.
--:-- Paul Moss: Now, investigators from the United Nations have said that crimes against humanity have been committed in the east of the country.
--:-- Paul Moss: That's where a Rwandan-backed rebel group, M23, has been battling government troops.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: The UN is referring to, say, like the use of intimidation, torture against a civilian population.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: So in this case, the M23 rebel group that has been seizing territory in eastern Congo, attacking people who are sheltering in hospitals, those who are sheltering in schools during the takeover of the city of Goma towards the end of last year.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: There have been incidences and cases of girls and women have been taken captive and used even for sexual purposes or perhaps as sex slaves.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: And there have also been incidences where young people, you know, children, boys under the age of 15 have been falsely conscripted to fight along the M23 rebels.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: There have been longstanding complaints of quite horrific atrocities being committed in that conflict in the DRC.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: Does it actually add anything to have added to this the category of crimes against humanity? I mean, it just shows the severity of the kind of human rights violations that have been committed just as the conflict has been raging on for the past three years.
--:-- Richard Kagoy: So just helping people understand the kind of suffering that people have been subjected to in eastern part of Congo, Whether this is really going to yield results in terms of bringing those who are responsible behind this to accountability is something else.
--:-- Paul Moss: Let's end this podcast with an invention that began as a way to help a friend and has gone on to help thousands.
--:-- Paul Moss: Around the world, an estimated 5 billion people still wash their clothes by hand, often spending hours a day and suffering aching joints and skin irritation.
--:-- Paul Moss: It was something that struck a Sikh engineer from Britain, Navjot Sohni, when he spent a year as a volunteer in southern India.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: The most beautiful friendship that I have on the street is with a lady called Divya. She has two kids. She feels like the thing that's keeping her back is the household chores.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: She washes clothes every single day, sometimes for two to three hours a day. And I have conversations all the time about why does she wash clothes like this?
--:-- Navjot Sohni: I'll buy you an electric washing machine. And she says to me, Nav, I wouldn't be able to power this electric washing machine.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: I don't have running water all the time. Your electric washing machine wouldn't have any effect on my life.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: had the realization that I want to make a washing machine that works for you, Divya, and I'm going to promise you that I will come back here and I will bring this washing machine to you.
--:-- Paul Moss: Nav signed up for a master's degree in humanitarianism, conflict and development.
--:-- Paul Moss: And in 2018, less than two years after his revelation in India, he joined forces with his fellow students to get the washing machine project started.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: We're eating our samosas in my mum's kitchen. Thanks, mum. And we see the salad spinner. We're like, why don't we just create a salad spinner, but with clothes in it?
--:-- Navjot Sohni: And we literally start washing our socks in the salad spinner. And it's funny because the salad spinner has never been used for food ever again.
--:-- Paul Moss: The machine is a big steel drum, standing about 1m20 off the ground. Mounted on wheels, it's really light.
--:-- Paul Moss: You put the clothes, water and detergent into a door on the top. And there's a handle on the front which you turn to do the wash and a tap where you empty out the water once you've finished.
--:-- Navjot Sohni: They're made from very thin sheets of steel, easy to transport and fold into shape and easy to dismantle.
--:-- Paul Moss: They have now distributed nearly a thousand machines to 11 countries around the world.
--:-- Paul Moss: That includes Tamil Nadu in India, the place where the idea was born.
--:-- Sarasu Murugan: I spend my free time now with my children spending such time with the children gives me happiness for her daughter Ishwarya it means more time to pursue her dream of becoming a diplomat.
--:-- Sarasu Murugan: She's at school at the moment, but also has to help her mother with the chores.
--:-- Sarasu Murugan: It helps us in many ways, like time consuming. And even my sister can do that work. My father can do. He can't wash clothes by his hands, but he can do it in the washing machine.
--:-- Sarasu Murugan: So if I became an officer, I'll get schemes like this to introduce in my country to help those child. It has changed my life. It can also change girls' life like me.
--:-- Paul Moss: Seven years after his promise to his neighbour Divya, Nav returned to the village where it all started.
--:-- Paul Moss: And there Divya is waiting outside her house and everyone is so emotional and she turns to the washing machine for the first time, and everyone starts clapping and crying.
--:-- Paul Moss: And she says, Nav, there are millions of people like me around the world. Go find them, and that's what we're doing.
--:-- Paul Moss: Nav Jotswani ending that report by Nkem Ifejika.
--:-- Paul Moss: And that's all from us for now, but there'll be a new edition of the Global News Podcast later.
