Meta and YouTube found liable in landmark social media addiction trial

from World Business Report · host BBC World Service

A Los Angeles jury has handed down an unprecedented win for a young woman who sued Meta and YouTube over her childhood addiction to social media. We hear the latest.Since the war in the Middle East erupted, attention has focused on oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz. However, the Gulf is also a major producer of aluminium and helium. We look at how disruption has spread into other commodities. And it’s not just commodities and supply chains feeling the pressure. Airlines are watching oil prices closely, because fuel is one of their biggest costs. We hear from the boss of AirAsia Group, the Malaysian budget airline, on what might happen, should oil prices remain high.
