New York subway shooting suspect goes to court. Protesting a Michigan police shooting. Getting weapons to Ukraine. CBS News Correspondent Deborah Rodriguez has today's World News Roundup.
In 1945, five families sued school districts in Orange County to challenge the practice of so-called Mexican schools, which kept Latino students from attending white schools with better resources. The daughter of one of the plaintiffs, Sylvia Mendez, has spent her retirement telling the story of the landmark desegregation case, which was decided 75 years ago on April 14, 1947.
But she goes from school to school talking about the importance of this case at a time when Latino students are, in many ways, more segregated than ever.

A ceasefire agreed weeks ago should have mitigated the suffering of starving Ethiopians caught up in war; we ask why so little aid has got through. Rebuilding Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy will require staggering sums—and a vast, international plan of action. And South Africa’s lockdown-era alcohol bans had a curious knock-on effect: crippling shortages of a beloved yeasty goo.
Listener Tadd Williams often sees the 16th Street Station from I-880. It's a huge, stately building in the Beaux-Arts style. It's looking a little rundown now, but it clearly was grand at one time. He wants to know about its past lives, and how was this spot important to West Oakland's Black community and the Civil Rights Movement.
We’re 4 episodes deep into WeCrashed… so perfect timing that WeWork just revealed their first real tech product. Last month we told ya CNN+ was coming — It’s here now, but it’s just “plus”, no CNN (drop the ‘CNN.’ It’s cleaner). And Etsy was the #2 stock of 2020, but now the craftfolk are going on strike.
And FYI: this is our last pod of the week (markets are closed for Good Friday, so we’ll whip up your next TBOY on Monday).

Ever since people have had secrets, people have taken measures to protect those secrets.
The first methods to hide secrets were simple and mechanical. Over time they became more elaborate and used machines. Today, they are mathematical and would require an enormous amount of computing power to decipher.

In How Machines Came to Speak: Media Technologies and Freedom of Speech (Duke University Press, 2022), Jennifer Petersen constructs a genealogy of how legal conceptions of “speech” have transformed over the last century in response to new media technologies. Drawing on media and legal history, Petersen shows that the legal category of speech has varied considerably, evolving from a narrow category of oratory and print publication to a broad, abstract conception encompassing expressive nonverbal actions, algorithms, and data. She examines a series of pivotal US court cases in which new media technologies—such as phonographs, radio, film, and computer code—were integral to this shift. In judicial decisions ranging from the determination that silent films were not a form of speech to the expansion of speech rights to include algorithmic outputs, courts understood speech as mediated through technology. Speech thus became disarticulated from individual speakers. By outlining how legal definitions of speech are indelibly dependent on technology, Petersen demonstrates that future innovations such as artificial intelligence will continue to restructure speech law in ways that threaten to protect corporate and institutional forms of speech over the rights and interests of citizens.

We're talking about the arrest in the New York City subway attack: who police say tipped them off.
And there are huge backups on the southern border: why the governor of Texas says they're necessary, even though they could mean more trouble for grocery prices.
Plus, the latest update to the mask mandate on planes, what to know about a baby formula shortage, and how Google plans to add thousands of new jobs in the U.S.
New York Police arrested a suspect in relation to Tuesday’s mass shooting on a Brooklyn subway. Frank James was apprehended in Manhattan and is accused of shooting ten people, which resulted in many more injuries as well.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill on Tuesday that makes performing an abortion in the state a felony. Jenny Ma, a Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, joins us to discuss the broader implications of the ban.
And in headlines: Ukrainian officials collected the bodies of 765 civilians in Kyiv, the CDC announced that it would extend the federal mask mandate for public transit, and New York health officials have discovered two new Omicron subvariants spreading throughout the state.
