  • Nepal’s Gen Z don’t want #NepoKids or corruption
    2025/09/15

    Protesters in Nepal were demonstrating against corruption, nepotism, and a social media ban which they said limited their freedom of speech. But the protests turned violent and officials say 72 people died in the unrest, including three police personnel.

    Gen Z groups leading the protests distanced themselves from the destruction, saying they had been "hijacked" by "opportunists".

    BBC journalist, Emily Atkinson, explains the #NepoKids movement and we hear from a Gen Z protester for her views on what happened.

    And Phanindra Dahal from BBC Nepali, takes us through who interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki is.

  • Why was Charlie Kirk such a big deal for young Americans?
    2025/09/12

    On Wednesday 10th September Charlie Kirk was shot dead at a university campus in Utah.

    Charlie Kirk was a conservative activist who founded the student organisation, Turning Point USA. It aims to spread conservative ideas in liberal universities and now has chapters at more than 850 colleges. Kirk became known for his controversial views and was accused of being racist, misogynistic and trans-phobic.

    He held open-air debates on campuses across the country, where he tried to win people over to his thinking. And clips of these conversations were posted on his social media accounts and often went viral.

    Turning Point USA played a key role in the get-out-the-vote effort for Donald Trump and other Republican candidates in the 2024 election. He was also widely credited with helping to register tens of thousands of new voters.

    BBC reporter Nathalia Jimenez explains Charlie Kirk’s appeal to young Americans - and how he managed to become so ubiquitous online. And we hear from students who followed him and debated with him.

  • When a ‘dating safety’ app goes wrong
    2025/09/11

    The Tea Dating Advice app blew up in the US earlier this year - it let women run background checks on men - to see if they were married, using fake identities, or even registered sex offenders.

    But in July, that backfired. Hackers broke into the app and leaked women’s photos and personal data online. Within hours, online misogynist groups online made several websites to humiliate the women who'd signed up.

    Jacqui Wakefield, our Disinformation Reporter, takes us through what happened and what men and women think of the app.

    A spokesperson for Tea app said they were "working to identify and notify users whose personal information was involved and notify them under applicable law" and that affected users would be "offered identity theft and credit monitoring services".
