About this listen

Alan Leer is on mic in London, and today’s briefing is basically: cleaner transport, messier politics, and the internet doing internet things. West Ealing to Greenford becomes the unlikely star of the show as a battery-only train starts carrying passengers. Then it’s a UK science funding wobble, before we head online: Google says it’s smashed a massive proxy network, and an antivirus update story proves reality still writes the worst plot twists. In gaming, Apex Legends gives the original Switch an expiry date, and Apple quietly keeps older iPhones on life support — because not everyone’s upgrading every year, are they?
