This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.
Me ollaan menty monta vuotta putkeen just siinä mökille vanhojen luokkakavereiden kanssa. Ja vaikka me ei oltaistakaan nähty pitkään aikaan, niin jutut aina jatkuu siitä, mihin ne jäi. Mä oon joka kerta tuonut kotoa paketin kultakatriinaa ja herännyt ennen muita keittämään kaikille kahvit. En ole hirveän hyvä puhumaan mun tunteista, mutta keittämällä väsyneille kavereiden ja aamukahvit voin näyttää, miten paljon mä niistä välitän. Heille, jotka ansaitsevat kultaa. Kultakatriina. Eläköön suomalainen kahvikulttuuri.

Chapter 2: What happened in the US Senate regarding Trump's war powers?
I'm Pete Ross, and in the early hours of Thursday, the 5th of March, these are our main stories. The US Senate has cleared the way for Donald Trump to continue attacking Iran, rejecting an effort to curb the president's war powers. Israeli military officials say Iran has launched more missiles, with explosions heard in Jerusalem, according to reports. Earlier, Israel's military said it launched a new wave of strikes targeting military infrastructure in Tehran.
Also in this podcast, a family in the US files a lawsuit against Google, alleging that its AI chatbot encouraged their son to kill himself. And... The chimpanzees transport the crystals in the mouth. This is not normal for chimpanzees. Why chimpanzees are fascinated by crystals.
Aloitamme uudestaan Yhdysvallan vaaralla Iranin kanssa, joka on nyt viisi päivää. Israelin sääntöryhmät sanovat, että Iran on laajennettu enemmän missaaleja, joita kuuluu Jerusalemissa, kuten raportteja. Aiemmin Israelin sääntöryhmä sanoi, että se laajennettiin uuden sääntöryhmän, joka tarkoittaa sääntöryhmän infrastruktuuria Teheranissa. Mutta ensin tämän podcastin jälkeen mennään poliittisiin tapahtumiin Washingtonin D.C., jossa Yhdysvallan puolustus on pysähtynyt presidentin Trumpin järjestämään sääntöryhmän.
Democrats argue that Mr. Trump has sidelined Congress and has given a number of different reasons for the war. And it was the Democrats who brought to the Senate a vote on a war power resolution, aimed at limiting the president's ability to order further military action in Iran. The Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock said Congress needed to have a say in how the US military is operating in the Middle East.
The declaration of war is not a power that the president of the United States has. The Constitution makes it clear. The declaration of war is the authority and the responsibility of Congress. Presidents of both parties, yes, they have engaged in military operations, but the declaration of war belongs to this body. Well, to me this looks like a war.
But Republicans said President Trump was showing strong leadership and should be supported. Here's Congressman Michael McCaul. This war powers resolution is ill-timed and ill-advised. Congress must stand with the president and our military to finally close once and for all this dark chapter of history and pave the way for lasting peace.

Chapter 3: How is the situation in Iran evolving with US and Israeli strikes?
In the end, the Senate voted largely along party lines to reject the resolution. I asked our North America correspondent Simi Jalo-Osho what the general feeling was among politicians about how the war is progressing.
Well, the general feeling is pretty much reflected in that vote. It's mainly split between party lines. The defence secretary Pete Hegseth has framed this mission as laser-focused, and this resonates with republican lawmakers who want to avoid forever wars, as they call it, by using massive air power rather than ground troops.
Republican senators like Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton have argued that the Iranian regime is on the verge of a collapse. And so the U.S. must maintain overwhelming force to ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the AI chatbot lawsuit in the US?
But democratic figures acknowledge that yes, there might have been a threat from Iran, and yes, Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, but they have condemned how the strikes are being done. They feel there's a lack of a plan being shared by the administration. The Senate's minority leader, Chuck Schumer, Senator Tim Kaine, who introduced or led that resolution,
The US will be drawn into a sort of regional quagmire.
Some centrist Democrats, most notably John Fetterman, who voted on the side of the Republicans with regard to that resolution, has argued that the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei is a net positive for the US and for the world. There's another vote coming. The House of Representatives are going to vote on a similar measure. Could sentiment change the longer the war goes on or if it expands further?
So the House of Representatives are due to vote on a similar measure, like you said, but actually on two different resolutions. So there's one resolution that's calling for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East. And there's another resolution, which is a more moderate alternative that gives the president...
30 päivästä lopputuloksen lopputuloksen lopputuloksen lopputuloksen Joten nämä ovat kaksi asiaa, jotka voivat todella vahvistaa presidentin tuotantoa. Yksi, jos maanhoitajat tulevat tähän konfliktiin, mutta kaksi, jos tämä jatketaan ilmaisesti.
Semidjola Osho in Washington. As to the fighting itself, there was further evidence that the conflict is spilling across more borders and escalating far beyond the Middle East. In a dramatic development, a US submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka. The US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the submarine torpedoed the frigate, the Iris Dana, in international waters. About 140 Iranian sailors are presumed dead.
Qatar has been evacuating citizens who live near the U.S. embassy in Doha after Iranian missile strikes and NATO air defenses had to intercept an Iranian missile heading towards southern Turkey. There is a large U.S. air base nearby in Sirik, which could have been a target, but that hasn't been confirmed. Our international editor Jeremy Bowen has been following the latest developments in the war. He began his report with that unprecedented U.S. submarine attack.

Chapter 5: What challenges does the Anglican Church face with new leadership?
This was another demonstration of American military power and a stark message to the Iranians that nowhere is safe for them. The U.S. submarines torpedo smashed into the stern of the Iranian frigate Dana. In the Indian Ocean, an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death.
The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II. The Sri Lankan Navy brought 32 survivors ashore. It seems that the Americans have decided that they can hit Iranian targets worldwide. Some of the rescued Iranians were walking wounded, others more seriously hurt. The attack will raise more questions about the legality of America's claim that this is a war of self-defense.
Viiden päivän aikana tulevaisuudessa on huomattava yli 90 miljoonaa iranilaisia. Turvallisuus on muuttumassa Teheranissa ja eläminen on toimivaa.
There are no doubts about America's capacity to destroy, but plenty about keeping its promises to help Iranians end years of authoritarian rule. There is no evidence of a coherent plan for what happens when the bombing stops, and increasing signs that the Iranian regime's ability to survive has been underestimated.
Israelilaiset lopettivat videon näkökulmasta yhdestä heidän aerojärjestelmäänsä Teheranissa. Israelin aerojärjestelmät poistuivat Iranin viime vuonna, mikä tarkoittaa, että Iranin ympärillä on ympärillä israelilaiset ja amerikkalaiset pilottajat.
Ympäri alueella vaara on edelleen kokoontunut. Lebanon alueella Iranin ystävä Hezbollah laittoi videon drone-attakseen. Tämä voi olla erilaista tapahtumaa, koska israelilainen tankki Lebanon sisällä näyttää olevansa kohtuullisen kohtuullisen kohtuullisen kohtuullisen kohtuullisen kohtuullisen
There's little sign that the relentless attacks by the US and Israel on Iran will stop any time soon. The Iranian capital has borne the brunt of the offensive since the US and Israel launched their first strikes on Saturday. The United Nations says around 100,000 people left Tehran alone in the first two days of the war. For those residents who remain, like this woman who's not being named, life is extremely difficult.
Going across the city is very dangerous because of the IRGC forces and Bessie G's who are not wearing the dress code. And you don't know who are they actually. The IRGC's, although they don't wear proper, you know, official dressing. All are armed men.
Kaikki ovat käyttäneet klashnikovia, ja ne ovat erittäin vaarallisia. He tutustuvat sinulle, he tutustuvat sinun ystäväsi. Kashar Junaidi BBC Persian Servicein kertoi minulle enemmän. Niiden ihmisten, jotka pystyvät postoimaan videoita tai viestiä sosiaalisessa mediassa, tiedämme, että Teheran on ollut vahvasti vahvistettu. Ja ei vain Teheran, vaan myös muissa paikoissa.

Chapter 6: How are businesses adapting to the rise of weight-loss drugs?
People are either sheltered at their homes or are traveling outside of major cities trying to seek refuge in smaller rural areas.
Kun ajattelimme ensin, että Ayatollah Khomeini oli tullut, näimme joitain ihmisiä kaupungilla järjestämällä ja todennäköisesti toisistaan järjestämällä hänen kuolemansa. Mikä näyttää olevansa suurin piirtein nyt? No, oikeastaan niitä ihmisiä, jotka järjestelivät, olivat onnellisia, koska he näyttivät, että erityinen ja demokraattinen Iran oli poistunut.
Many of those people who protested feel that this kind of war was necessary because they were not able themselves to remove the regime. But on the other hand, there are some people who are against the regime but don't see war as a solution. So there's a mixed feeling. But generally speaking, those people who are against the regime and were supporting the protests or were part of the protests –
Monet niistä ovat vahvistuneita sotilasta, ja tietenkin, kun raportit kirjoitetaan koulujen tai rakennuksen bombaamiseen, ihmiset jäävät ylöspäin, mutta silti on tämä tunne, että tämä sotilas on tarpeellinen, koska jos amerikkalaiset tai israelilaiset eivät bombaile IRGC- tai turvallisuusvallan alueita, niin he eivät voida rajoittaa regiimiä.
What about the regime itself? There are reports that Ayatollah Khamenei's son may take over as leader. What do we know about him and is there anyone else in the frame? Mushtaba Khamenei, who is Khamenei's second son, he's a cleric himself, 56 years old. There's always been this rumor that he's been groomed to succeed his father.
Joka kerta, kun Iranissa on ollut protestti, ihmiset yleensä hyökkäävät Logania myös hänen kanssaan. Varmistuksen ensimmäisen päivänä oli tietoa, että Mujtaba Khamenei's wife and children were killed in the bombardment.
Tietysti Mujtaba on saapunut sydäntä. Emme ole nähneet tai kuullut hänestä, mutta on raportteja, että hän on elämässä. Ja oli joitain huomioita, että Yhdysvallan yksilöitä halusivat valita hänet seuraavaksi puolueeseen. Tietysti muutamia nimisiä ovat saapunut mahdollisiin kandidaatioihin, kuten äidin Ayatollah Khomeini ja Hassan Rouhani, joka on vanha presidentti. Mutta nämä ovat kaikki huomioita, nämä ovat kaikki huomioita.
As well as striking Iran, Israel has continued to launch fresh attacks on the Lebanese capital Beirut. The IDF has warned hundreds of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes in anticipation of an Israeli incursion into the territory of its northern neighbor. Our correspondent Wera Davis says Israeli attacks are intensifying across Lebanon.
Täällä on kasvava huolto Lebanon kanssa, ja se on todellakin tarkoitus, että Israel on aloittanut heidän sääntöjärjestelmäänsä Hezbollahin kohdallaan. Ei vain Hezbollahin vahvistuneista alueista Beirutin sydänpuoleisessa alueessa, mutta esimerkiksi Tirin sydänpuoleisessa alueessa. Siellä on ollut vahvistuneita israelilähtöjä Hezbollahin tavoitteista. Olemme käyneet täällä Eestis-Beirutta.

Chapter 7: What insights do we have about chimpanzees and their fascination with crystals?
The United Nations has told the BBC that Israeli troops are already inside villages in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah itself has said there have been fierce clashes in villages well inside the border. So it's a nominous time ahead, and I think fighting particularly in the south is set to step up.
Ura Davis in Beirut. Now even just a few years ago if you saw footage of a drone strike during a war you'd have every reason to believe it was genuine. But with AI video generation tools that's all changed. It's caused Elon Musk's social media platform X to announce new rules. Our reporter Will Chalk has been looking into it.
It's a video that seems to show an Iranian missile sinking a US warship. Except the US denies the ship was ever struck. And clips like this, often AI-generated, are getting millions of views.
Speak to analysts and they'll tell you this is a war like no other when it comes to verifying facts. Professor Richard Rogers from the University of Amsterdam specialises in disinformation on social media. We're getting both a kind of slopification of war-related information, right? So we get for engagement purposes, you know, fake celebrity donations saying Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey made donations to the girl school that was bombed.
Olemme myös saavuttaneet rauhallisia kuvauksia, rauhallisia taitoja, suurta tasa-arvoa. Olemme saavuttaneet paljon rauhallisia asioita. Mitä voidaan tehdä? X on kuullut, että se alkaa lopettaa luottajia tekemään rahaa siteistä, jos he laittavat AI-generoivaa konfliktivuotoja ilman, että se on rauhallista.
Postissa sijainnin johtaja Nikita Beer sanoi, että vuorojen aikana on tärkeää, että ihmiset ovat saavuttaneet todellista tietoa. Onko tämä muuta eri asiaa? Se on hieman lyhyempi. Tämä voi vaikuttaa joidenkin ihmisten, jotka eivät ole saavuttaneet konfliktiin. Meillä on paljon valtio-alueellisia aktoreita.
who are leading the charge when it comes to these misleading visuals, so I'm not sure if they will be deterred by a lack of monetization. That's Sophia Rubinson from NewsGuard, a US-based company that tracks online lies. They found another problem. Even if people are trying to verify a video, they're often using AI to do so, and asking a chatbot whether the footage is real. And the chatbots are getting it wrong.
So users who may think that they're doing the best practice by using these reverse image search functions are actually being met with further misinformation. In short, social media seems to have become a minefield for fakes. And the videos don't even need to fool everyone. If even a handful of people believe the lie, in the eyes of those putting these clips out there, they've done their job. Oh, it's getting worse. Everyone's running. Jesus. We'll chalk.
Still to come in this podcast... Our mission is to make dessert that's better for you, but also doesn't taste like some kind of science experiment that's just pure sadness. The challenge of trying to make delicious ice cream for some of the millions of people now using weight loss injections to suppress their appetite.

AI chatbots have quickly become part of daily life, helping people with everyday tasks like writing shopping lists, booking flights or coming up with recipe ideas. But a case in the US is raising concerns about how these tools interact with people dealing with mental health issues. A father is suing the tech giant Google, alleging its AI chatbot deepened his son's mental health crisis, encouraged delusional thinking and ultimately contributed to him taking his own life.
The case is thought to be the first of its kind against the company. Our North America correspondent Lily Jamali gave us more details.
It really is a tragic story, and it has a lot of people in Silicon Valley talking today. We've heard stories about people developing what feel like romantic relationships with an AI chatbot. Tragically, we are now hearing more stories about suicides from people who think that they are having these sort of romantic relationships, and this has both of those elements.
And what about the lawsuit itself, Lilly? What exactly is Google accused of doing here? So this is a lawsuit brought by Joel Gavalas, who is suing Google for wrongful death on behalf of his son, who was a 36-year-old professional from Florida. It's the first wrongful death case brought against Google for harms caused by its AI tool, which is called Gemini. So Google is accused here of making design choices that ensured that it would, quote, never break character.
He katsoivat, mitä he katsoivat chat-logissa, Jonathan Gavalasin ja Geminiin 36-vuotias syystä. Se näyttää niin, että hän ajatteli, että AI oli hänen virtuaalinen isänsä, ja että AI lähetti hänet missioihin, jotta hän voisi liberoida ja saada hänet fyysiseen maailmaan, jotta he voisivat olla yhdessä.
The accusation is that Google wanted to maximize engagement through creating this kind of emotional dependency and that all of this culminated in the AI instructing Jonathan to attempt carrying out a mass casualty attempt that was ultimately unsuccessful. And then, you know, during this delusional spiral that it ultimately coached him into killing himself. And how has Google responded and could this set a legal precedent for the wider AI industry?
Se voisi olla. Tällä hetkellä joitakin näitä lainsäädäntöjä on menossa yhdistelmään Yhdysvalloissa. Google on sanonut, että se laittaa yksityiskohtaisuutensa Gavalus-yhteisöön. He sanoivat, että he työskentelevät mentaali- ja terveydenhoitajien kanssa, jotta heillä on turvallisuudet, jotka tukevat käyttäjät auttamaan, jos he näkevät, että on ymmärrettävää työtä.
