There is no polling in Iran. Nobody can tell what the majority thinks, but one can feel the mood of people who were against it and now for it in result of this catastrophe.

Batman Kalbasi from BBC Persian. The Emmy-winning actress, comedian and screenwriter Catherine O'Hara, you might know her from her roles in Home Alone and Schitt's Creek, has died at the age of 71 after a brief illness. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has paid tribute, saying over five decades of work, Catherine earned her place in the canon of Canadian comedy, and added that the country had lost a legend. Our arts correspondent David Sillitoe looks back at her life.

Se, että emme tehneet mitään.

Home Alone was just one of a string of hit movies in the 80s. Beetlejuice, After Hours, Heartburn, for this Canadian actor who'd come up through the comedy circuit. And then in her 60s saw her career take off again with comedies such as Schitt's Creek and The Studio. In a statement it was said she died at home after a brief illness. Among those paying tribute, Kevin McCauley Culkin, who wrote, I thought we had time. We had so much more to say.

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.
