Speaker 1: October sixteenth. Meta must now face lawsuits by US states

6
00:00:31,094 --> 00:00:34,654
Speaker 1: accusing it of fueling mental health problems among teens by

7
00:00:34,694 --> 00:00:38,414
Speaker 1: making its Facebook and Instagram platforms addictive. A federal judge

8
00:00:38,414 --> 00:00:42,614
Speaker 1: in California has ruled she found enough detail about allegedly

9
00:00:42,694 --> 00:00:46,254
Speaker 1: misleading statements made by the company, allowing most of their

10
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:49,614
Speaker 1: case to go forward. The judge also rejected motions by

11
00:00:49,654 --> 00:00:54,574
Speaker 1: Meta byte edancers, TikTok, Google, parent alphabets, YouTube, and Snap's

12
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,814
Speaker 1: Snapchat to dismiss related personal injury lawsuits. Lawyers for the

13
00:00:58,854 --> 00:01:02,694
Speaker 1: personal injury plaintiffs called the rulings a significant victory for

14
00:01:02,774 --> 00:01:06,694
Speaker 1: young people who have been negatively impacted by addictive and

15
00:01:06,774 --> 00:01:10,934
Speaker 1: harmful social media platforms. At x person says the company

16
00:01:10,974 --> 00:01:14,094
Speaker 1: disagreed with the ruling overall, and that it had developed

17
00:01:14,214 --> 00:01:17,774
Speaker 1: numerous tools to support parents and teens, including new teen

18
00:01:17,814 --> 00:01:22,054
Speaker 1: accounts on Instagram with added protections, while a Google spokesperson

19
00:01:22,134 --> 00:01:25,574
Speaker 1: called the allegations simply not true and said providing young

20
00:01:25,614 --> 00:01:28,734
Speaker 1: people with a safer, healthier experience has always been called

21
00:01:28,774 --> 00:01:31,614
Speaker 1: to their work. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed by

22
00:01:31,734 --> 00:01:35,574
Speaker 1: various plaintiffs accusing the social media companies of designing addictive

23
00:01:35,614 --> 00:01:39,454
Speaker 1: algorithms that lead to anxiety, depression and body image issues

24
00:01:39,454 --> 00:01:43,454
Speaker 1: among adolescents and failing to warn of their risks. Public

25
00:01:43,574 --> 00:01:46,854
Speaker 1: hanky panky in a Melbourne train station stairwell has been

26
00:01:46,854 --> 00:01:50,654
Speaker 1: blamed for major flooding that forced late night commuters to evacuate.

27
00:01:51,014 --> 00:01:54,614
Speaker 1: Melbourne Central and Flagstaff stations were evacuated late on Thursday

28
00:01:54,654 --> 00:01:58,574
Speaker 1: evening after extensive flooding damaged several platforms. A man and

29
00:01:58,654 --> 00:02:01,974
Speaker 1: woman had earlier gone into a stairwell connecting platforms at

30
00:02:01,974 --> 00:02:05,534
Speaker 1: Melbourne Central before damaging a water pipe and fire sprinkler.

31
00:02:05,614 --> 00:02:09,134
Speaker 1: Police say the flooding triggered an automated evacuation in the

32
00:02:09,174 --> 00:02:12,894
Speaker 1: two Stars, causing significant train delays. While the flooding was

33
00:02:12,934 --> 00:02:15,854
Speaker 1: initially believed to have stemmed from an act of vandalism,

34
00:02:15,974 --> 00:02:21,414
Speaker 1: Victoria's Transport Infrastructure Minister Danny Pearson said CCTV had proved otherwise,

35
00:02:21,694 --> 00:02:24,654
Speaker 1: He says, I've been advised that Metro Trains have reviewed

36
00:02:24,654 --> 00:02:27,614
Speaker 1: the footage and it would appear that an amorous couple

37
00:02:27,654 --> 00:02:31,774
Speaker 1: in a stairwell dislodged the sprinkler. Lawyers for Sean Diddy

38
00:02:31,814 --> 00:02:34,934
Speaker 1: Combs have asked a New York judge to force prosecutors

39
00:02:35,014 --> 00:02:37,454
Speaker 1: to disclose the names of his accusers in his sex

40
00:02:37,494 --> 00:02:40,574
Speaker 1: trafficking case. The lawyers wrote in a letter to a

41
00:02:40,614 --> 00:02:43,374
Speaker 1: Manhattan federal court judge that the rapper needs to know

42
00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:46,494
Speaker 1: the identities of his alleged victims so he can prepare

43
00:02:46,574 --> 00:02:50,374
Speaker 1: adequately for trial. Last week, a May five trial date

44
00:02:50,454 --> 00:02:53,134
Speaker 1: was set for Combs. He has pled not guilty. The

45
00:02:53,134 --> 00:02:56,214
Speaker 1: fifty four year old remains incarcerated without bail after his

46
00:02:56,294 --> 00:03:00,134
Speaker 1: September sixteen federal sex trafficking arrest. His lawyers have asked

47
00:03:00,174 --> 00:03:02,414
Speaker 1: an appeals court to let him be freed to Hope

48
00:03:02,414 --> 00:03:04,934
Speaker 1: detentions so he can more easily meet with lawyers and

49
00:03:04,974 --> 00:03:08,134
Speaker 1: prepare for trial. So far, judges have concluded he is

50
00:03:08,174 --> 00:03:11,254
Speaker 1: a danger to the community cannot be freed. The request

51
00:03:11,294 --> 00:03:14,534
Speaker 1: to identify accuses comes a day after six new lawsuits

52
00:03:14,574 --> 00:03:18,494
Speaker 1: were filed against Combs anonymously to protect the identities of

53
00:03:18,574 --> 00:03:22,334
Speaker 1: the alleged victims. The lawsuits claimed he used his fame

54
00:03:22,414 --> 00:03:25,774
Speaker 1: and promises of boosting their prospects in the music industry

55
00:03:26,014 --> 00:03:29,534
Speaker 1: to persuade victims to attend lavish parties or drug fueled

56
00:03:29,574 --> 00:03:32,614
Speaker 1: hangouts where he then assaulted them. The plaintiffs in the

57
00:03:32,694 --> 00:03:34,854
Speaker 1: lawsuits are part of what their lawyers say is a

58
00:03:34,854 --> 00:03:37,294
Speaker 1: group of more than one hundred accusers who are in

59
00:03:37,334 --> 00:03:41,814
Speaker 1: the process of taking legal action against Combs. And actor

60
00:03:41,894 --> 00:03:45,414
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford thinks it silly to avoid Marvel movies because

61
00:03:45,414 --> 00:03:48,814
Speaker 1: they produce good experiences for an audience. The eighty two

62
00:03:48,894 --> 00:03:51,614
Speaker 1: year old will make his Marvel debut in Captain America

63
00:03:51,774 --> 00:03:55,174
Speaker 1: Brave New World in twenty twenty five as Battius Thunderbolt

64
00:03:55,294 --> 00:03:57,814
Speaker 1: Ross the Red Hulk because he wanted to embrace the

65
00:03:57,894 --> 00:04:01,854
Speaker 1: Marvel cinematic universe rather than sit around regretting the change.

66
00:04:02,054 --> 00:04:06,374
Speaker 1: It comes after Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino recently claimed Marvel

67
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:09,654
Speaker 1: characters have become the stars of the films nowadays rather

68
00:04:09,694 --> 00:04:12,574
Speaker 1: than the actors, alluding to the loss of movie stars

69
00:04:12,614 --> 00:04:16,214
Speaker 1: being down to the Marvelization of Hollywood movies. But quizzed

70
00:04:16,254 --> 00:04:19,134
Speaker 1: on the death of Hollywood movie stars Ford has told

71
00:04:19,214 --> 00:04:22,894
Speaker 1: GQ magazine he thinks it's rubbish and wonderful actors are
