Brazil bans X, Germany’s local elections and the Depop for books

  • Summary

  • Why has Brazil banned X, formerly known as Twitter, and how will this ban actually work? Ozempic is in the news again but what’s the newly discovered potential benefit of the drug? And Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland is expected to make gains in two state elections tomorrow – what is the mood on the ground? Author and political journalist Terry Stiastny joins Georgina Godwin for this and more of the week’s news and culture. Plus: with Vinted and Depop encouraging more people than ever to sell their used items online, Bookshop.org has launched a used-book platform called Bookloop that aims to benefit indie bookshops and authors. Bookshop.org’s partnership manager Mark Thornton tells us more.
