    Bonus: 2025 in conversations from The Interview

    2025 on The Interview In 2025, the BBC launched The Interview, bringing you the best conversations from across the BBC. People shaping our world from all over the world. This special episode for The Documentary features three of the most compelling conversations from The Interview across the year. Senior politicians are held to account by experienced BBC journalists, who also bring a unique and personal insight to the conversation, with a behind-the-scenes take on each encounter that took place. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s controversial challenge to climate orthodoxy was the subject of his conversation with the BBC’s climate editor Justin Rowlatt. Like his boss President Trump, Secretary Wright believes the threat from climate change is exaggerated, and the rush to decarbonisation by renewables has been an expensive mistake. In an interview with BBC presenter Paul Njie, Somalia’s president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud defends his efforts to tackle the terrorist insurgency in his country. And he stands firm in the face of demands for independence from the northern region of Somaliland - the unity of Somalia, he says, is sacrosanct. British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood set out her plans for a radical reform of the UK asylum system in a conversation with the BBC’s Nick Robinson. It makes for an uncompromising message for those trying to enter Britain illegally. Thank you to the all the teams across the BBC who have helped us make The Interview throughout 2025. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC. You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT. Or you can listen to The Interview as a podcast, out three times a week on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.

    Argentina's elusive big cats

    After decades of extinction, wild jaguars are once again roaming in Northern Argentina. It has been at least thirty five years since a wild jaguar cub was spotted in this dry and dusty part of Argentina. But in August 2025, a baby appeared on the chocolatey-brown banks of the River Bermejo. Its existence was a great success for the team from Rewilding Argentina, a non-profit foundation that started reintroducing these magnificent beasts here in 2019. But it has not been easy: hunting is still a problem and the organisation has had to get the locals on board with sharing their home with big cats. Charlotte Pritchard travels to 'The Impenetrable Forest' to find out how the birth of this baby became possible. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

    Introducing The Bomb: Kennedy and Khrushchev

    As the USA and Soviet Union race for supremacy in the 1960s, Premier Khrushchev sizes up his rival, President John F Kennedy. Presenters Max Kennedy and Nina Khrushcheva, relatives of the superpower leaders, explore their rise to power - one wealthy, smooth-talking and Harvard educated, the other a hardened Soviet war leader from a peasant family. As they prepare to meet for the first and only time as world leaders, the stakes could not be higher: they are fierce rivals in the race to build ever more devastating missiles. This is the personal and political history of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nina Khrushcheva is the great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev and Max Kennedy is the nephew of President John F Kennedy, and the son of Robert F Kennedy.

    Justin Bieber's Coachella Comeback: Fatherhood, Hailey's Influence, and Reclaiming His Legacy

    Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past week with a mix of personal milestones public appearances and major career moves that may prove pivotal for his legacy. Rolling Stone and Billboard confirm that he will headline Coachella in April 2026 marking his first solo set at the festival and his first major US performance in four years. Insiders at Rolling Stone and Economic Times report that Bieber negotiated the deal himself sidestepping agents and landing a recordbreaking payday for a Coachella headliner at 10 million dollars—a move widely considered both groundbreaking and a sign of his new hands-on approach to his own career. The Coachella gig comes alongside the release of his Swag and Swag II albums which Luminate confirms collectively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 Bieber personally oversaw every creative and business aspect of both records according to his label. Social and entertainment media have zeroed in on the influence of Hailey Bieber in these decisions. Sources from People and US Weekly repeatedly emphasize that his wife was a driving force behind his agreeing to headline Coachella Hailey encouraged Justin to return to the stage after years of wrestling with outside pressures and health setbacks telling him This is the best time. Fans online have reacted with a surge of excitement for the so-called Bieberchella and rave about the pop star being back in control of his narrative. Family life has figured as prominently as career for Bieber this week. Elle and Vogue describe a tightly knit Bieber family as Justin Hailey and one-year-old son Jack were photographed vacationing in Indio—on the Coachella grounds where Bieber will perform next spring. The couple’s shared moments with Jack especially photos of him taking his first steps have gone viral on Instagram and been cited as symbolic for the new stability in Justin’s life. Fatherhood has changed everything for Bieber and Hailey who told Vogue that becoming parents has brought them closer and given both of them new perspective. Meanwhile celebrity news outlets like International Business Times have spotlighted Justin’s public basketball game in Los Angeles quickly following the widely covered marriage of his ex Selena Gomez to Benny Blanco. While Bieber made no public statement about the wedding fans speculated via X formerly Twitter and Instagram that his timing—especially sharing clips of his song I Do—might have held subtle allusions to his past with Gomez. There is no confirmation of intent but online chatter remains intense. As speculation swirls it’s clear the main narrative is Bieber’s transformation—a pop superstar returning to the stage on his terms deeply invested in fatherhood and entering what those close to him describe as the most authentic chapter of his life.

    Emily Winston, founder of Boichik Bagels

    Emily Winston grew up enjoying New York’s famous H&H Bagels. After moving to the Bay Area in 2010, she missed the bagels she loved and was devastated when H&H Bagels closed. Determined to recreate the bagels she longed for, Emily spent five years perfecting her recipe. Encouraged by friends and family, she eventually opened Boichik Bagels in November 2019. Since then, Emily’s bagel business has grown to six locations around the Bay Area, along with a factory, with more expansion planned. Emily takes pride in using premium, organic ingredients and ensuring her staff is well-compensated and receives full benefits. Fun fact: her first shop in Berkeley was also the original location of the Bay Area’s famous Noah’s Bagels! Tune in to this special episode where we hear about Emily’s story and how she turned an old childhood memory into the Bay Area’s newly beloved bagel.

    United in space: How we built the ISS

    Celebrating 25 unbroken years of humans living in space, former international director of the UK Space Agency Dr Alice Bunn charts how nations put aside differences to create the ultimate symbol of human ingenuity and collaboration – a space station orbiting our planet that has been home to more than 300 people from 24 different nations. Using mission control audio, news archive and personal stories, Alice illuminates acts of epic survival, humour and selflessness that made the station a reality. She investigates why a near fatal disaster on the Russian Mir space station spurred nations to commit to the ISS, and reveals how a Moscow basement and Hollywood royalty sparked bonding between Russians and Americans. She also discovers how quick thinking and plastic tape saved the station, allowing it to grow to the size of a football pitch, and how one astronaut came within seconds of drowning in space. Looking into the future, Alice explores how the legacy of the ISS will be carried on by a new generation of private space stations, which have the power to push back the boundaries of science for the good of all humanity. The reduced gravity offers enormous possibilities, including creating materials impossible to create on Earth.
