The Berlin Film Festival is known for its political nature and this year's edition is no exception, with elections in Germany casting a shadow over proceedings and calls for a boycott over the event's attitude towards Palestinians in Gaza.

Young people in New York City are climbing on top of trains for thrills. The dangerous phenomenon, known as subway surfing, has been around for decades but is seeing a revival that sometimes ends in tragedy. There were six subway surfing deaths in New York in 2024. These tragedies are part of a global trend of deaths from social-media related challenges, as addictive app algorithms enthrall children and encourage users to make increasingly extreme content in a bid to rack up "likes". Our correspondents Jessica Le Masurier and Fanny Chauvin met the mother of a teenage boy who lost his life while subway surfing. She is one of a growing number of parents suing the social media firms Meta and TikTok for harming children.…

Actress and author Julianne Moore says it was a "great shock" to hear that her children's book "Freckleface Strawberry" was among those removed from some American public schools, after an executive order from President Donald Trump saw a long list of titles confiscated for review. Olivia Salazar-Winspear explains what the current US administration sees as cause for concern in children's literature. We also take a look at a new exhibition recreating the "Degenerate Art" scene of the 1930s, when the Nazi party sought to demonise avant-garde painters like Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso, as the Picasso museum in Paris presents these major works of modern art in a contemporary context.
