This is the Global News Podcast. Thousands of protesters have again gathered in Minneapolis in the United States to demand federal immigration agents leave the city. Police fired tear gas at crowds in Government Plaza and outside the building where immigrants have been detained. It's been around a week since the death of protester Alex Pretti at the hands of federal immigration officers.

But are you powerless to change what is happening, even though you have the political majority there? We're not powerless. We can continue to do all the organizing we can, and we can continue to demand that our members of Congress, that federal elected officials stand up and stand with Minnesota, do not stand with Donald Trump. One of the things that you are doing practically is offering people training in peaceful protesting. Tell us about that and the demand for it at the moment.

How important is that video evidence, even when officials deny it? How crucial is the film that your trainees are taking?

Se oli Richard Carbone, Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Partyin puheenjohtaja, ja se on vain jonkinlaista rauhaa, joka Trumpin hallituksen toimintaan on saavutettu, joiden välillä Minneapolisissa. Suomalaisen turvallisuuden puolustus suunnittelee, että tavoitteena on poistaa ja poistaa välyttäviä indokumenteisia imigrantteja. Mutta natalaiset amerikkalaiset sanovat, että he ovat myös poistettuja isojen. Anna Fagy sanoo. Me olemme kansalaiset. Okei, niin näytä sinun ID. Nähdä sinun ID. Me olemme natalaiset. Mitä sinä teet?

Mitä sinä anot minulle? Minä olen natalainen amerikkalainen. Mitä sinä anot minulle? Välitys, jota minulla on, on, että olet takaisin resurssiin, johon sinä olet. Sinä eivät olisi täällä yhteiskunnassa. Tuo raportti oli Anna Fagy Minneapolisin.

A Saudi human rights activist who accused Saudi Arabia of targeting him with spyware has been awarded almost four million dollars in damages by a UK court. The high court effectively proved that the Saudi royal family ordered the hack with the infamous Pegasus spyware and also organized an assault on the British citizen in central London. Joe Tidy has been speaking to the once popular YouTuber who says the ordeal has ruined his life.

London-based Saudi dissident Ghanem Al-Masareer was a popular YouTuber, but then he was hacked. In 2018 his iPhones were infected with the infamous Pegasus spyware. He started to notice strange things. Being watched and being followed by the same faces I see in different places.

Silloin sinä tunnet, että sinä olet valittu.

His videos criticizing the Saudi royal family were funny and satirical, but also at times personal and offensive. They gathered more than 300 million views, allowing him to earn a living. But he hasn't posted in three years and is now shy about being in public. In a sense then, am I right in saying, you know, it's tragic here, but they've won. They've silenced you.

The hack and assault happened in the same year that Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi was hacked and murdered in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. US authorities assess that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing, something that the ruler denies. Saudi Arabia initially fought al-Masri in court, arguing that it had immunity because it's a country. But it lost that immunity in 2022 and has not made any attempt to defend itself since, which begs the question, do you think they'll ever actually pay?

Jos he eivät pahoita, me otamme vahvistusmahdollisuuden. Ja me otamme rahaa. Saudi-Arabia on käynyt viime vuosia ja paljon rahaa sportin ja kulttuurin tapahtumien kanssa, yhdessä suomalaisen komedi-festivalin jälkeen. Suomalaisen puolustajat, kuten Jimmy Carr ja Kevin Hart, sovittivat, vaikka human rights watchin kritiikkiä. Se oli Al-Masaria. He ovat kohtuulliset komediat Saudi-Arabiaan.

We asked the Saudi embassy in London to respond to the court ruling, but received no response. That report by Joe Tidy. Now, if you're a fan of Bridgerton, the period drama on Netflix that critics and reviews pretty much universally refer to as steamy, you'll have spent the last few days pretty excited.

Season 4 of the show is currently at number 1 on the streaming platform in more than 80 countries. Stephanie Prentiss has been watching.

We begin another season. This season, viewers journey once again inside the noble Bridgerton family in Regency-era England. And this time, it's another of the siblings' turn to find someone to marry. The season's most notorious gentleman, Benedict Bridgerton. He must bow to that most powerful of forces, mothers. One small problem. I am charting a more venturesome course. You are awake.

Rake being old school English for someone not keen on commitment, but probably promiscuous. And this time series regular Luke Thompson and newcomer Yerin Ha had to spend the most time on set with the show's intimacy coordinator. They can eventually get fun. There's fun and there's storytelling to be had in those moments.

It's an extension of expression, and I think when you have someone you really trust, the sex scene doesn't feel like a sex scene, it just feels like another scene. Bridgerton is renowned for its adult scenes, and some fans have complained that season four is just too tame. You sound as if you have been made a new man. The show's creative Jess Brownell says she focused on getting the right tone, and there's much more open discussion this season than usual.

The show is based on eight best-selling books. Their creator, Julia Quinn, told us why people find the story so charming.

English period dramas and their beautiful worlds have long been a hit with world audiences. Arguably Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Vanity Fair walked so Bridgerton could run. The man behind them, Andrew Davies, says modern audiences loved the past. Stories were in a way simpler than you could do the happy ever after stuff and don't.

Plots tend to turn around. That's very appealing. That's some of the reasons. Whatever the reasons, this time Bridgerton fans get a classic Cinderella story inside the core text, complete with a midnight dash and an accessory left behind. We must find the owner of this glove. But to see if the Rags to Riches romance pans out, fans will have to wait until the end of February for the final four episodes.
