Before we go, I just wanted to tell you about a new video podcast that our New York office is launching.
It's called Stateside with Kai and Carter, and it's hosted by our colleagues Kai Wright and Carter Sherman.
Each week, they're going to be trying to make sense of some of the biggest stories happening right now.
The show will feature conversations with some of the smartest thinkers and reporters, not just from The Guardian, but from across the world.
It's launching on the 13th of May with episodes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
You can find it in full video on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
And that is all for today.
This episode was produced by Tom Glasser and Ned Carter-Miles and presented by me, Helen Pitt.
Sound design was by Brian McNamara and the executive producer was Hummer Khalili.
