First you’ve got to find the adverts and openings, then there’s the mental energy and time required to put in an application – and that’s before you get to the nerve wracking interviews. But some of us are finding that process even harder than normal – putting in loads of applications and never hearing back. Some recent studies suggest that AI is a contributing factor, with younger workers being replaced by AI in some industries.

Companies like Amazon and Duolingo have said using AI is going to lead to a reduction in their workforce.

We hear some of your experiences in the current job market. BBC business reporter in New York, Nathalie Jimenez, explains which sectors are most affected by the adoption of generative AI – and what you can do to try to adapt. Plus Varun Mayya, a YouTuber and the founder of generative AI company Aeos, tells us what the situation is like in India – and how AI is changing how his company operates.

Video Description

Is there any evidence that a female leader can change a country for the better? Do women make better politicians. Or is it all based on stereotypes?

Women make up less than 7% of world leaders, and in 2024, the number of women in parliaments across the world fell. However, Mexico, Namibia and North Macedonia all elected their first female presidents, and as more women take up the top jobs, there’s a debate about whether they do things differently to men.

Laura Garcia from BBC Mundo breaks down some common misconceptions about women in power with a game of True or False.

And Professor Rosie Campbell from the Global Institute for Women's Leadership, at King’s College, London, tells us why it’s so hard to draw conclusions about the effects of female lawmakers.

01:36 The first women to be elected head of state was in Europe: True or False?
02:17 What proportion of world leaders are female?
02:41 Mexico elected its first female President in 2024
03:29 Claudia Sheinbaum’s style of leadership
04:40 True or False: Women leaders only succeed by acting like men
05:50 Why is it so difficult to assess “male” and “female” leadership styles?
06:48 Do women in politics bring in policies that benefit women?
08:58 True or False: there's less corruption when women are in charge
10:20 Why do some people want to see more women in politics and leadership positions?
11:54 What is the evidence that women leaders do things differently?
12:56 Everyone has a different way of leading, whether they are men or women.

Phones have become an essential part of most people’s everyday lives, and debates about them in schools – as well as teenagers’ access to social media – are internationally hot topics.

BBC journalist Hayley Clarke joins us in the studio to talk through different approaches to social media and phone bans in schools around the world. We also hear from students in France and the US about how they would feel about potential bans.

Hannah Ritchie, a BBC journalist, chats to us from Australia, where the government says it will introduce "world-leading" legislation to ban children under 16 from social media.
