UK public divided on Just Stop Oil protest tactics

The British public is divided over the protest tactics of the environmental group Just Stop Oil. Members of the group brought Britain’s busiest motorway to a standstill for hours this week, and they’ve been splashing cans of soup onto famous paintings to draw attention to their cause. And, a new proposed bill in Finland’s parliament that would recognize the rights of the Indigenous Sámi people is proving to be controversial. Also, Qatar is about to become the first Arab and Middle Eastern nation to host the FIFA World Cup in a region that has a rich soccer history. Plus, a tribute to Brazilian singer Gal Costa, who died on Wednesday in São Paulo at the age of 77.
