Meta's Zuckerberg to testify in social media trial

Available for 29 days

It's the first time the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will be questioned in a US court about the effect of Meta's Instagram on the mental health of young users. Losing would represent a major blow for the tech giant - potentially setting a precedent for a flood of similar lawsuits. The claimant argues her mental health issues are a result of becoming addicted to Instagram, and Google’s YouTube, as a child. Our reporter explains what's at stake. A third round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine has concluded. We get the latest from our correspondent in Kyiv. European football's governing body, UEFA, has launched an investigation after the Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior claimed he was racially abused in Tuesday night's Champions League match against the Portuguese side Benfica.
