Elon Musk's presence at a White House press conference surprised journalists when President Trump gave him the stage to address questions about his growing governmental influence. Jeff Mason, White House correspondent for Reuters, who asked Musk about claims of a “hostile takeover” of government, describes the experience. The Trump administration has announced significant cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which provides funding to independent media organisations worldwide. Max Tani, reporter for Semafor, explains how this decision affects news outlets, particularly those operating in countries where press freedom is under threat. BBC Media Action, the BBC's international charity, has been affected by the cuts, with USAID previously providing millions in funding. Its CEO, Simon Bishop, clarifies the organisation's role and responds to Elon Musk's claim that USAID funds the BBC directly. The attention economy is reshaping the way people engage with media and technology. Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC's All In, draws comparisons between Big Tech's monetisation of attention and the Industrial Revolution's transformation of labour. He discusses the social and political consequences of mass digital engagement and offers insight into potential regulatory solutions.

First, we go behind the scenes at Newbury-based Waylands MG for a behind-the-scenes look at one of MG Motor UK's newest dealerships with Simon Bishop. Hear all about the amazing deals, insights into who is buying MGs at the moment and the latest on new models this year. We then meet British adventurers, Ross and Hugo Turner, at the home of the MG Car Club at Abingdon as they embark upon a unique seven-month journey from London to Shanghai, that will see them reinvent the Silk Road for the 21st century by travelling 10,000 miles across continents in an MG Cyberster EV sports car. The Devon-born twins, whose expeditions include rowing across the Atlantic Ocean and traversing Greenland's Ice Cap, are undertaking the mammoth range anxiety-inducing road trip in MG's newly unveiled all-electric MG Cyberster, a sports car that accelerates to 0-60mph in about 3 seconds. Crossing the finish line in Shanghai in 2024 will mean more than the ultimate test drive of the world's first EV roadster, it will also mark the Centenary year for the brand that originally began trading in Oxford as Morris Garages; now known around the world as MG.

A mentally ill author, a spunky waitress, and a gay painter show us that all you need to do in life to find true happiness is settle for less in the 1997 Best Picture nominee "As Good as It Gets." Jack Nicholson plays Melvin Udall, a reclusive obsessive-compulsive who keeps people away with his bristly attitude, but underneath that rough exterior is a manipulative old lecher who wants to get laid. He actually won an Oscar for this. Helen Hunt plays Carol Connelly, a plucky waitress with a sick son who is desperate to find a man. She says some stale lines, gets upset several times, and shows a little butt crack, so it's supposed to be a magnificent performance. Greg Kinnear plays Simon Bishop, an artist who is robbed and beaten so badly that he goes broke from the hospital bills. Simon is forced to go on a zany road trip to ask his parents for help. We're supposed to believe that this seemingly awful situation changes Simon's life for the better somehow, even though he is now deformed, handicapped, and roommates with a madman.
