MeillÀ on nyt asia, jossa on löytÀneet asiantuntijoita. Jotkut ovat olemassa, joilla on syöpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀpÀÀp
of the border patrol is staying. They say they want to give him a loud goodbye, so they come here to protest. And then suddenly we saw these agents push forward. One of them, I saw one fire, some kind of irritant into the ground several times. A few rounds of that, it was very hard to breathe. We can see more agents of gas masks coming forward now.
They're clearly determined to push this crowd back. And it was really a sudden escalation as they came forward.
I mean, basically this was a peaceful protest. Some people had taken it a bit far in terms of hitting one of the signs at the car park of the hotel. But then we saw masked agents with tear gas rifles and other sort of irritant guns show up. And the situation really quickly escalated, firing some of that irritant into the crowd. It was very hard to breathe. They were pushing people back. And then I was seeing, you know, at least one person sort of dragged away.

The menopause can have a significant impact on women's physical and mental health. Now, a large UK study has found that it can also cause a loss of grey matter in the brain, affecting memory and emotions, the kind of changes also seen in Alzheimer's. A woman called Nicola told us how she was affected by the menopause.
Professor Barbara Sahakian of Cambridge University told us these brain changes could help explain why women are more likely to develop dementia.
A 19-year-old woman is suing social media companies like Meta and YouTube, saying their algorithms ruined her mental health by populating her feed with damaging content. There are thousands of similar lawsuits in train around the world, but this one in California is the first to come to trial. Matthew Bergman is representing the plaintiff. Rachel Burden asked him how her life had been affected.
She's been robbed of her childhood, her adolescence and her teenage years. She has been subjected to horrific content that she has been forced to become addicted to and has suffered severe and ongoing mental health harms.
Puhut design decisions that the social media companies have taken. Can you be a bit more specific? What are you looking at here? What we're looking at is companies that make money by selling advertising. The more time they can keep a young person on their platforms, the more advertising they sell, the more money they make. So they show kids content not that they want to see.
but what they can't look away from. And they do that by exploiting the vulnerabilities of an adolescent brain, as well as the social insecurities that young people have. And the fact that by seeing material that is psychologically discordant and unpleasant to look at, they actually get a better dopamine response
ergo addictive behavior, than showing material that is benign or uplifting. So they show you not what you want to see, but what you can't look away from. And when you're on social media, you are not the customer, you are the product. And that's why we're bringing these cases.
No, siinÀ on syy, miksi he kutsuvat tÀmÀn tuntemaan. Se on meidÀn tuntema, jota me toivomme. Luulen, ettÀ kun oikeudenmukainen juri on mahdollisuus kuulla tÀmÀn nuoren tarinan, he saattavat saada lopputulokseen, ettÀ sosiaalinen media on tehty suuri rooli hÀnen itseÀÀn. MitÀ luulet, ettÀ tÀmÀn tapauksen mahdollisuuksien voisi olla tulevaisuudessa?
TÀmÀn tilanteen tÀrkein syy on se, ettÀ sosiaalinen media on ensimmÀistÀ kertaa kÀsiteltÀvÀ. Se on iso vaihtoehto ja seuraava vaihtoehto. Se on yritys, joka on aiemmin ajatellut itsensÀ ja toimittanut niin, ettÀ se olisi tÀysin immuunitonta jokaisesta huolimatta.
And that was Matthew Bergman. In response, YouTube says the allegations in these complaints aren't true. Meta, which owns Instagram and Facebook, also strongly denies the claims and says its confident evidence will show its longstanding commitment to supporting young people.
The world number one men's tennis player, Carlos Alcaraz, has reached the semi-final of the Australian Open for the first time. But he and his big rival Yannick Sinner have had to play without their normal fitness trackers, watched like health monitors they wear on their wrists. Both have been told to take them off. Health analysis devices are not currently permitted at Grand Slam tournaments, but are allowed at many other games. The top women's seed, Irina Sabalenka, isn't happy about it.
And that is all from us for now, but the Global News podcast will be back very soon. This edition was mixed by Russell Newlove and produced by Stephanie Zachrisson and David Lewis. Our editors Karen Martin, I'm Oliver Conway. Until next time, goodbye.
