    GTA 6: Did the ‘extended look’ trailer live up to the hype?

    28/08/2026 | 8 min
    Rockstar — the developer behind Grand Theft Auto 6 — has released the “extended look” trailer ahead of the game’s November release. The 26-minute preview offers fans the first detailed footage from the game. Among other things, the trailer showcases the relationship between protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Camino and some very impressive chase scenes.
    The extended look premiered following a week of leaks. We get reaction from some popular gamers and content creators: Alogirlx in Canada, ColdJinn in India, Knightenator in the UK, and Nixstah in the United States. Plus BBC reporter Tom Richardson explains why people have been leaking content from the game and what the potential impact could be.

    Why influencers are rejecting the tradwife label

    27/08/2026 | 14 min
    Tradwife content is everywhere - you’ve seen it on your feed. Influencers showing off their sourdough loaves while talking about how lucky they are to be stay-at-home wives, mothers, and girlfriends. For some, it looks like an aspirational lifestyle - fairy-tale wealth, a beautiful home, family and no 9-5 job.
    One of the biggest accounts like this is Nara Smith. And although she’s often seen as the face of the movement, she’s now said she doesn’t identify with the label.
    Others using the hashtag on their content say the same.
    We chat to Crystal Gorsuch, who is 20 and a stay-at-home mum. What does she think of the label and how has her content been received by people online?
    Plus, Chelsea from the team talks to us about how this trend is changing and where it might go next.

    ‘I Will Always Love You’: Why the world is mourning Dolly Parton

    26/08/2026 | 12 min
    Dolly Parton was a country music star like no other. Following her death from cancer on Tuesday, everyone from President Donald Trump to Beyoncé has expressed condolences online. But the public mourning isn’t just about Dolly’s catalogue of hits like “I Will Always Love You,” “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” or her nearly 50 studio albums like “Backwoods Barbie.”
    William Lee Adams, a BBC culture reporter, explains why Dolly’s legacy has only grown with time. We discuss her uplifting personality, endlessly quotable quotes, and philanthropic endeavours — from donating a million dollars to help fund the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine to the Imagination Library, her charity that has gifted children more than 200 million free books.

    Scientists have snapped some shiny new pictures of the Sun in the most detail we’ve ever seen. They used a super powerful solar telescope to show "whirlpools" of activity which are the Sun’s magnetic field being twisted and moved by the motion of hot gas.

    Will the Divine app revive six-second loops on social media?

    24/08/2026 | 9 min
    Divine, a short-form video-sharing app, lets users create and share videos which are just six seconds long and repeat on a loop. It’s inspired by Vine, an app founded in 2012 that, at its peak, had more than 200 million monthly active users. It helped launch the careers of some of the internet's biggest stars, including Jake Paul and Lele Pons.
    Laura Cress, a BBC tech reporter, explains how the app plans to shake up social media by banning AI and moving away from an algorithm that feeds people videos specific to their taste and browsing habits. Instead it uses an open, decentralized design that encourages people to engage with similar videos as other users.
    Plus: Chelsea and Baldeep from the What in the World team re-enact some of the most iconic moments from the Vine era.
