This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Keith Adams, and at 5 Hours GMT on Friday 27th February, these are our main stories.
Pakistan has bombed the Afghan cities of Kabul and Kandahar in response to cross-border attacks by the Taliban.
Netflix has backed out of its bid to buy Warner Brothers Discovery, potentially clearing the way for its rival Paramount Skydance.
And the governing Labour Party in Britain has suffered a historic by-election defeat at the hands of the Green Party.
Also in this podcast, the plaintiff in a landmark trial in California on whether social media platforms are addictive for children has been testifying about her use of Instagram and YouTube harmed her mental health.

We start in Pakistan, where the defence ministry says it has declared open war on the Taliban in Afghanistan, with military jets bombing parts of Kabul, the capital, as well as the city of Kandahar.
The strikes follow escalating fighting over the two countries' shared border, with the Taliban attacking multiple Pakistani positions.
Earlier, the Afghan Taliban said their forces had attacked Pakistani border posts, killing at least 10 soldiers, while a spokesman for the Pakistan Prime Minister said more than 70 Taliban combatants had been killed.
Cathy Gannan is a former AP news director for Pakistan and Afghanistan.
She told my colleague Steve Lai more about this unfolding story.
And just help us understand the context then when it comes to the Taliban.
I mean, they have a presence.
There is a Pakistan Taliban as well.
Is Pakistan going after them?
How does it all fit?
Because, you know, the Taliban weren't ruling Afghanistan going back years.
It's only a fairly recent thing.
Cathy Gannon speaking to Steve Lye.
