Representatives from more than 40 countries took part in a virtual summit on Thursday to discuss the Strait of Hormuz crisis. French President Emmanuel Macron says using force to open the vital shipping lane is "unrealistic", and criticises the US for its mixed messages on the war. Also: a 200-year old discovery off the coast of Denmark, the latest on the Artemis II Moon mission. Plus: the blind man running a marathon with the help of strangers talking through his glasses.
The president made the case for the Iran war, and markets were not impressed. After President Donald Trump's address to the nation last night, the price of oil went up, and stocks went down. This is a total reversal of what markets were doing going into the speech, when stocks rallied, and oil prices fell. We'll get into it all and provide some key takeaways. Then, Marketplace’s David Brancaccio takes a trip to a West Hollywood pawn shop.
Countries across Africa have taken measures to cope with the fuel crisis triggered by the US and Israel's war in Iran. South Africa has reduced government levies on fuel while at the same time announcing a price increase. South Sudan has started to ration electricity in its capital, Juba, while Mauritius has imposed restrictions to reduce wastage especially in high-power consumption areas. While raising fuel prices for the second time in a month, Ethiopian authorities have ordered fuel supply companies to prioritise security institutions, major government projects, key industries and the manufacture of essential goods. Also, across Nigeria and the Sahel, insecurity remains a challenge but one Nigerian startup is building locally made surveillance drones. We hear from the innovators.

Lebanese-American journalist Rania Khalek, from BreakThrough News, reports from Beirut on Israel's territorial expansion into Lebanon, the mass displacement of 20% of the population, & how Israelis running the Gaza playbook yet again. Hot off her viral takedown of Piers Morgan, she breaks down the "will you condemn" double standard, unpacks the diverse opinions Lebanese have about Hezbollah & normalization with Israel, and debunks all the hasbara the Ellisons see fit to print. (Note that this was recorded before AOC statement re no longer supporting Iron Dome funding, and her subsequent reframing that Israel can fund it's own Iron Dome, which she described as "critical to keep innocent civilians safe.")

A jury convicted Google and social media giant, Meta, of failing to do enough to prevent the harmful effects of their projects on children. Plaintiffs, including several tribes, argued children too young to be on social media platforms are subjected to bullying and suffer poor self-esteem because of content they encounter online. At the same time, retailers are able to strip personal information from young people—and others who use social media. Does social media have any redeeming value? We’ll find out what might change in light of the recent legal decision.
