The debate over social media use by teens is raging on. In the U.S., Meta and Google were just handed back-to-back losses in lawsuits against them.

From Berlin, special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports on warnings from psychologists for the younger generation. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.

Anytime tensions are high in the Middle East, oil prices can
be expected to spike. So a war in the region is pretty much guaranteed to
mean higher prices at the pump. And that is particularly painful for anyone
whose living depends on what it costs to fill up.
Host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR’s economics correspondent
Scott Horsley about how the U.S. economy is faring, almost a month since the U.S. and Israel launched the first strikes against Iran.
Plus, we hear from American business owners whose companies
are already being impacted by higher fuel prices – a long-haul trucker based in
Ohio, and a pair of brothers who run a lobster distribution operation from Long
Island, New York.

Also on the programme, lawyers have tussled over how to fund the defence of the ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro at his second court hearing since his capture by US troops; and, the IOC has banned transgender women from all Olympic women's sports.

Southeast Asia is among the areas hardest hit by Iran’s cutoff of oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz, with many nations there almost entirely dependent on foreign energy — and quickly running out. We hear how the effects are being felt.
And Iran has been not only launching missiles around the region but also firing off memes around the internet. We hear that although war propaganda has a long history, it now travels faster and to a wider audience than ever before.
