This week on The Rundown, our Field Messengers check in from South Africa, Belgium, Tobago, Japan, Uganda, the United States, and Australia.

We'll look at the growing battle between news organizations and AI companies over who benefits from journalism in the age of artificial intelligence. As more publishers block AI web crawlers, questions are emerging about compensation, access, and the future of online information.

We'll also explore the United Kingdom's transition away from its traditional copper-wire landline network, and why some residents are concerned about what the switch to digital phone service could mean for vulnerable users.

And coffee pods made home brewing easier than ever, but concerns are brewing over waste, recycling challenges, and possible microplastic exposure. We'll take a closer look at why some consumers are rethinking the single-cup convenience trend.
