  • Hello.

  • Now, if you were listening to yesterday's episode of Newscast, you will have heard a little bit of our interview with the four British families who are suing the tech giant TikTok.

  • We've had a message from Bev who says, I'm struggling to find the extended interview that we referenced on the show yesterday.

  • Yesterday.

  • That full interview should now be in the newscast feed for you as a separate episode.

  • So that should be there if you want to listen to it in full.

  • The parents were incredibly dignified and the conversation was very moving.

  • So I do recommend that if you have time, go look for that episode.

  • But today we will also be rounding up today's news in this episode of Sunday's newscast.

  • Newscast, newscast from the BBC.

  • I like landscapes.

  • I don't think I'm being rude.

  • Jabbing unemployed people who are overweight.
