There's outrage in Italy after altered photos of women, including some high-ranking female politicians, started appearing online.

Their pictures were taken without their consent, and they were offered to men who started to comment on them. I'm Carolyn Beeler. And I'm Marco Werman. Also, the government

in Lebanon tries to persuade Hezbollah to hand over its weapons. What's on the table is bringing

Hezbollah into the tent against its will. And 20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.

You have to get yourself up off the ground before

This is the world. I'm Carolyn Beeler. And I'm Marco Wurman. Thank you for joining us today.

We begin in Italy where Prime Minister Georgia Meloni says she was disgusted after altered photos of her and other women,

including her sister and the head

Men were publishing pictures of their wives or girlfriends or random women who, of course,

were unaware of this, without their consent.

Chechilia Sotilota is an assistant professor of politics at the University for Foreigners

She spoke with me today from Rome. Both cases highlight a deep cultural problem, which has to do obviously with the objectification

of women's body, right, and the lack of consent and digital violence, we can't even call it.

On the other hand, we have famous people.

This trend of putting explicit images of women online without their consent, it is not new.
