Millions of dollars pour in, but the families never receive the money. He told us it wasn't successful. As I understood it, the video just didn't make any money. They used to raise funds for their own benefit.

You're listening to the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. Hello, I'm Oliver Conway. We're recording this at five o'clock GMT on Wednesday, the 17th of December. President Trump steps up the pressure on Venezuela with a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers, even as the White House reels from a bombshell interview. In Australia, the first funeral is held after the Bondi Beach massacre.
And the son of the Hollywood director, Rob Reiner, has been charged with murdering his parents.
Also in the podcast... Losing confidence in yourself, difficulties coping with problems, impaired social connectedness, feeling nervous and difficulties concentrating.
The signs which could mean you're at higher risk of dementia. Susie Wiles is the first ever female White House chief of staff, and she played a key role in getting Donald Trump re-elected last year. But she has now shed some unwanted light on the inner workings of the Trump administration. Vanity Fair quotes her as saying the president has an alcoholic's personality.
His vice president is a conspiracy theorist and Elon Musk is an odd duck who left her aghast with the rapid dismantling of the US Agency for International Development. Ms Wiles says the article is a hit piece and lacks context. She's been backed by the President and his team. I heard more from the BBC's Bernd Boosman in Washington.

Chapter 2: What insights did Susie Wiles provide about Donald Trump's personality?
It just seems too far ahead of time.
So it's definitely something where we see a strong link. We also looked at other dementia-related risk factors and controlled for them in our studies, and we still found that this link was still there. What was also interesting is that symptoms which are actually very common in people with depression, such as low mood or sleep problems, these weren't related to later dementia risk.

timothy chalamet has had a successful year including an oscar nomination for his role as bob dylan in a complete unknown now he's getting plaudits for his performance in marty supreme the story of a real table tennis player from the 1950s he's been talking to our entertainment correspondent colin patterson i know it's hard to believe but i'm telling you this game it fills stadiums overseas
Table tennis has not featured highly in movie history. There was Forrest Gump, a comedy, Balls of Fury, and now Timothee Chalamet in Marty Supreme. Is this a sports film? I think it starts as a sports film, but the structure of the film is really unique. It sort of takes on the structure of a heist film at some point, and then it really lands, hopefully, in a very emotional human place.
And what do you plan to do if this whole dream of yours doesn't work out?
That doesn't even enter my consciousness. Maybe it should. Chalamet has already been nominated at both the Golden Globes and the Critics' Choice Awards for playing Marty, a character based on the real-life table tennis champion Marty Reisman.
Featured here on this British Pathy newsreel from 1949.
How much do you like Marty? I love Marty. You know, when you're in your early 20s, you're an idiot. And this movie, in large part, is about being an idiot in your early 20s. And if on top of that you have a passion that you're singular about, you risk looking foolish in addition to being an idiot. How good are you at table tennis now? I'm good at making it look good.

Chapter 3: How has Susie Wiles defended her comments after the Vanity Fair interview?
It's not the first time the coalition government has been embroiled in a racism row. Only three months ago, it swore there would be no more scandals. Whether the lawmakers will face any sanctions for their behaviour will be decided by the Finns party later this week.
The American singer Lizzo has won a legal victory after a judge dismissed allegations of fat shaming made by three of her former dancers. But the lawsuit will continue over claims they were also subjected to sexual harassment. Lizzo has denied any wrongdoing and welcomed the ruling, as we heard from US entertainment reporter KJ Matthews.
It's really interesting on her social media. There's this video of her looking directly into the camera saying nothing. And then underneath that, you have a story, captions that are out there saying basically she's still in her legal battle, but she's so happy that the fat shaming claims against her have been officially dropped. She never fat shamed them.
And this was part of three former dancers that were, according to her, They were fired because they were filming her without her knowledge. She was on tour with these dancers a few years back, and they stopped at a strip club in Amsterdam. And they said that they were forced to interact inappropriately with some of the dancers there that were, I guess, either nude or partially dressed.
And they were forced, according to them, to interact and touch them in ways that they felt uncomfortable that they did not want to do. But at least one of them is saying they felt that they had to do it to keep their jobs. And that, they said, should not have been part of their job. So that part of their allegation is moving forward.
And it's really interesting because, you know, when she burst onto the scene, So many people were so happy to see her in the body positive movement space because she was out there, she was flaunting her sexuality, and she's a rather larger girl and admitted it and said she was proud to be that size.
So when she had this kind of reality show where she was looking to bring on or hire dancers that kind of embraced that kind of body positivity and weren't, you know, super skinny dancers, people really applauded that. Recently, though, people have also taken her to task because she has lost a lot of weight. She won't say how much weight she's lost.
She was actually on a show recently and it was on social media where they one of the hosts basically asked her, you know, how much weight have you lost? And she said she wouldn't get into that. But, you know, you have a lot of people in the body positive space environment now saying she's lost too much weight or why has she lost weight, period. There shouldn't have been that pressure on her.
So she's really getting a lot of backlash from different people. K.J. Matthews.
