Life inside the Winter Olympics bubble

Ahead of Friday’s opening ceremony at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, we speak to an athlete, a competition judge and a reporter about their experiences and impressions so far in the Olympic bubble.

Facebook’s parent company, Meta, says daily active users of Facebook are slightly down for the first time in the platform’s history and its share price has fallen. We hear from some people who’ve decided to use Facebook a bit less, or not at all, and get our business reporter to explain the big picture.

And we talk about a series of bomb threats to historically black college campuses in the United States and speak to the president of one of the colleges being targeted.
