Our North America editor Sarah Smith. Snapchats parent company Snap has settled a social media addiction lawsuit just days before a landmark case against a number of tech giants is due to begin in Los Angeles. No settlement's been reached in the same case against Instagram's parent Meta, ByteDance's TikTok and Alphabet's YouTube. Our North America technology correspondent is Lily Jamali.

In the country's northeast. The authorities say the four-day truce was reached after an understanding had been agreed on the future of the whole Kurdish majority region. In earlier clashes, the Syrian army advanced and seized huge stretches of land.

Until now, the SDF has been responsible for securing prisons and camps where thousands of suspected Islamic State fighters and their families are being held. The SDF says its forces have withdrawn from one camp called Al-Hol. The Syrian army accuses the SDF of leaving the camp unguarded and says it's trying to secure the area. This report from our senior international correspondent Orla Guerin.

Imeges that may cause concern in Syria and far beyond, amid fears that an old enemy could exploit fresh turmoil.

Nämä kuvat, joita jätetään sosiaalisessa mediassa, sopivat näyttämään kaosia Al-Hal-kampun ympärillä. Se käsittelee noin 25 000 henkilöä, jotka ovat uskottaneet IS-kampuja. Video on epäonnistunut. Emme voi olla varmoja, onko joku mennyt Al-Hal-kampuun.

Tämä oli se, kun me kuvailimme siellä toukokuussa. Ekstremismi ja desolaatio. Camp officials said children were being raised to be so-called cobs of the caliphate.

Pohjimmilta järjestäjiltä rauhoittaminen. Olemme saaneet rauhoittamisen, koska tämä alue on vaarallinen. Mutta on varma, että syrjä-kurdilaiset vallat, SDF, jotka pysyivät kampun turvassa, ovat menneet. Damaskus kertoo, että se on pysähtynyt rauhan järjestäjille.

Yksi tunti myöhemmin Al-Shadada-vastuussa ilmestyneitä sääntöjä. Yksityiskohtaiset IS-kirjailijat jätti heidät takaisin. Järjestelmä sanoo, että sääntöjä on nyt valmisteltu. 81 kestävää on taisteltu uudelleen, 40 kestävää on edelleen. Tarkoitukset ovat, että paljon suurempia kestävät.

And how secure are other IS prisons, including the largest, al-Sanah? The detainees we filmed here are suspected of being with the Islamic State group until its last stand. For now there are no reports of incidents at al-Sanah.

Syrian government forces have been sweeping forward, forcing the Kurds to retreat. So far a show of strength for Damascus. But there are risks this internal conflict could escalate. Risks too that IS and its sleeper cells will benefit.

To Iran now. Several thousand people are thought to have been killed by the Iranian security forces in recent anti-government protests. Many relatives have found it difficult to identify their loved ones who died. Photos leaked to BBC Verify show the faces of hundreds of people killed in the violent crackdown. The images were displayed in a South Tehran mortuary and were one of the few ways to identify the dead. Merlin Thomas reports.

Kuukausia kuvia, joita BBC Verifyin leikkii, osoittavat vahvistuneita, syrjintävihoita ja syrjintävihoita noin 326 sydäntä, joista 18 on naisia. Olemme kertoneet, että siellä oli kaosin sisällä. Suomalaiset ja ystävät olivat ylöspäin, yrittäen tunnistaa omaa ystäväänsä kuukausiaan.

Many photos showed unzipped body bags with papers laid close to their faces, identifying them by their name, ID number or date of death. One man's face is so swollen his eyes were barely visible. Another man still has a breathing tube in his mouth, suggesting he died after receiving medical treatment. The slideshow is said to have lasted for hours, with the injuries of many victims so severe that the people couldn't be identified.

Labels on more than a hundred victims showed the date they died as the 9th of January, one of the deadliest nights for protesters in Tehran so far. These leaked photos provide a small snapshot of the thousands believed to have been killed at the hands of the Iranian state. Merlin Thomas

Still to come in this podcast. I had one cow once come to the house to remind me that I hadn't given her the food I normally gave her at tea time because I'd been distracted by some visitors. She worked out how to come and find me, which I thought was extraordinary. We hear about how cows might be more intelligent than anyone previously thought. And a robotic hand that might be able to outperform its human counterpart.

This is the Global News Podcast. It's been more than 30 years since the Nigerian environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues, known as the Ogoni Nine, were convicted of murder. They were then hanged by the military regime which ruled Nigeria at the time.

Monet uskovat, että Ogoni 9 oli pahannut leading protests against the operations of oil multinationals, particularly Shell in Nigeria's Ogoniland. The drilling there stopped in 1993, but the environmental damage there continued.

Now the current government is in talks to restart oil drilling in the area. With the cleanup ongoing decades later, is the community welcoming this new development? Helena Yibo reports from Ogoniland in Rivers State, Nigeria.

Minun isäni ja kahdeksan ystäväni eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia. He eivät olleet väkivaltaisia.

Ken was executed along with eight of his colleagues for the alleged murder of four local chiefs. The families of the Ogoninan, as they became known, claimed their execution was carried out to silence their activism against Shell's oil pollution in the Niger Delta. Frequent oil spills were causing soil and water contamination, forcing communities to drink toxic water and destroying fishing livelihoods.
