Going to be quite scant on details but...

I was out and about, and was messaged by two friends independently saying they were surprised to see me in a YouTube video.

Confused, I asked what they were on about. Turns out, a guy I gave advice to had then started recording me towards the end of our interaction without telling me, and has, weeks later, uploaded it as part of a longer video.

I was pretty tired at the time and doing the guy a favour (out of annoyance), and I don't like a few things, one of those being that he put me online (which, within hours has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times).

What can I do? I have already messaged him to tell him to remove me, but this seems like a ridiculous invasion of privacy.

This is a particularly important topic for myself on the spectrum, as I've had a lot of difficulties trying to follow what's going on in the cinema. I'd have subtitles on all the time if that was possible.

Thailand's king has signed a marriage equality bill into law, making the country the first in South East Asia to recognise same-sex unions. The bill cleared the Senate in June but required royal endorsement to become law. It was published in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday and will come into effect on 22 January next year.

Simon Stone reported today: Bayern Munich pair Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are both on their way for medicals before completing their respective moves to Manchester United.

West Ham United are set to complete the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka after agreeing personal terms with the Manchester United defender.

The Athletic reported on Saturday that West Ham and United had struck an agreement on a £15million fee for the 26-year-old full-back.

He will undergo a medical on Monday before finalising his move to east London.

Successful talks between Wan-Bissaka’s representatives and West Ham took place on Sunday evening to resolve issues that had threatened to delay the move.

Wan-Bissaka will sign a five-year contract at the London Stadium.

West Ham have been keen to strengthen their right-back options this summer after versatile full-back Ben Johnson joined Ipswich Town on a free transfer.

Wan-Bissaka will become the third defensive reinforcement to be added to new head coach Julen Lopetegui’s squad following the summer arrivals of Max Kilman from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Jean-Clair Tobido from Nice.

The 26-year-old joined United from Crystal Palace in 2019 for an initial transfer fee of £45m, with another £5m due in potential bonuses.

He has made 190 first-team appearances for United across his five seasons at the club, scoring twice.

Diogo Dalot has often been preferred in the right-back position at United by manager Erik ten Hag, with Wan-Bissaka spending much of the 2023-24 season deputising at left-back for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia — both of whom had long-term injuries.

For me it was in the north of Sardinia, and nothing has been close to that since. The water was so transparent I could see the sand perfectly; I even caught a shrimp with a sandwich box.

Not so surprising... funny how they don't ask for Ceuta to be given back.

Joe Biden took to the stage at his Thursday night news conference with everything on the line – his presidency, his re-election hopes, his political life. If those were the stakes, he barely acknowledged them at the hour-long session to mark the end of a Nato summit, having earlier introduced Ukraine's President Zelensky as "President Putin" at a separate event. The news conference was his first unscripted appearance after a disastrous debate with his rival Donald Trump, leading to calls from several Democratic politicians and donors for him to drop out of the race for president. Mr Biden, 81, has faced continuous questions over his age and ability to serve another term, which intensified after the debate. But at the highly anticipated news conference, he dismissed the concerns about his campaign that were posed again and again by a room full of reporters, and promised that he was fighting not for his legacy, but to finish the job he started when he took office in 2021. “If I slow down and can’t get the job done, that’s a sign I shouldn’t be doing it,” he said. “But there’s no indication of that yet.” Depending on perspective, it was either a sign of dogged determination or of a man in denial about how dire his situation has become. Minutes after the news conference finished, several more Democratic members of Congress publicly called on Mr Biden to step down, joining at least a dozen other lawmakers in the president's own party who have done so. The question for Joe Biden's campaign is whether the floodgates will now open, or if the tide will hold. The situation will not be helped by two excruciating gaffes that will be remembered by anyone who watched. In his very first answer, he called his own Vice-President Kamala Harris "Vice-President Trump" – a painful faceplant in front of a national television audience. That came just an hour after another headline-grabbing mistake at a Nato event, when Mr Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin", prompting loud gasps in the audience.

He corrected the first verbal misstep involving Ukraine's leader quickly. The second one he didn’t catch, even as some reporters in the room murmured in surprise and several of his top Cabinet secretaries sat stone-faced in the front row of the audience. Those moments - the only major stumbles in an otherwise steady if not vigorous, appearance - will surely prompt nervous Democrats to wonder if there are more gaffes to come if the president presses ahead with his campaign. But for now at least, Mr Biden seemed the happy warrior, insisting he will push on. He laughed and smiled as he was peppered with questions, and said he could keep up with Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping, even if the hoarseness and cough that had been on display during his debate two weeks ago still appeared to linger. He again insisted he didn't need cognitive tests, telling reporters that if he even saw "two doctors or seven", his critics wouldn't be satisfied. The election campaign, he said, had barely started, and he again repeated that he was confident he could beat Donald Trump in November's election. The Democratic delegates who will back him officially as the party's nominee at next month's convention were free to change their minds as they pleased, he said, before mock whispering: "It's not going to happen." He said he would consider stepping aside if his staff gave him data that he couldn’t win, but that polls still show the race a dead heat. In that regard, he is on firm ground. An Ipsos survey released earlier on Thursday, for instance, had Mr Biden only one point behind his opponent – well within the margin of error. If there’s one thing that has been clear since the start of the year, support for the two candidates has remained remarkably stable despite unprecedented drama surrounding both men. Polling alone won’t calm the panic that has set in among many Democratic officials, however, and the storm clouds that linger around Biden’s campaign won’t be so easily dispelled. More Democratic politicians are waiting in the wings, according to reports, poised to announce their own break with the president, having waited until the conclusion of this Nato summit to voice their concerns. And that’s just the first round of tests for the embattled president. He has another high-profile sit-down interview, with NBC’s Lester Holt, on Monday. Donors are anxious, and earlier on Thursday several reports suggested that even figures in the president's own campaign were plotting ways to usher their candidate toward the exit. Despite all of this, Mr Biden made clear that it will be a challenging task to pry the nomination away from him. The 81-year-old man who at times gripped the lectern with two hands and insisted he was the "best-qualified person" to run the country is not going to exit the stage quietly.

The place I want to do an online session with is not so responsive online and mainly (or solely?) does in-person visits, in a different country.

Looking for a recommendation for ASD/ADHD support, someone who is knowledgeable about meds (I already have mine), side effects, long-term usage, etc.

Thanks.

I am trying to do short presentations (3-5 slides) and would like my video (MacBook Air M2, if that's of help) in the corner, explaining what's on screen at the same time. The only audio would be from my headset or computer microphone.

Google Slides used to have the feature but I can't find it anymore. The easier the better (so recording once rather than recording the video, then overlaying it on the slideshow would be better).

Thanks!
