    Why extreme turbulence is getting worse

    Why extreme turbulence is getting worse

    "Extreme turbulence" on a London-Singapore flight has left one person dead and 71 injured. So, how likely are events like these and are planes going to be experiencing more turbulence in a warming world? 

    And, deadly violence has erupted in New Caledonia after the French Government in Paris approved a constitutional amendment to allow more recent arrivals to the French territory to vote in provincial elections. Now after a week of violent protest, repatriation flights are bringing stranded Australians home. 

    Plus, specialist endometriosis care isn't easy to come by in regional areas, so patients and health care professionals are creating their networks to fill the gaps and navigate a system that has historically minimised women's pain.

    Guests:

    Scarlett Johansson reckons her voice has been ripped off for a new AI chatbot from ChatGPT and she's not happy.

As a member of the court, Australia's involvement has been questioned by the opposition for "tarnishing" our international reputation. 

    And has the internet we know and love died? AI content farms are taking over social media and most of the content we consume, so where have all the real people gone online?

    Do you guys ever think about dying?

    Do you guys ever think about dying?

    Fear of death keeps a lot of us up at night: in fact, some experts say death anxiety peaks in your early 20s. We speak to people working with the dead and find out why you should stop freaking out and instead embrace the inevitable. 

    And 'kidfluencers' might seem innocent, but who else is engaging with their content? On certain websites, images of young kids are marketed as exclusive content to adult subscribers, and according to a Four Corners investigation sometimes it's the kids' parents who're running the accounts. 

    Plus, Iran's President and Foreign Minister have been killed in a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain and icy weather, according to Iranian officials. 

    Guests:
    Dr Rachel Menzies, clinical psychologist and research fellow, University of Sydney
    Jessica Longbottom, reporter, ABC
