Introducing GenZ Pushes Europe Far Right, Microplastic Filled Clouds Cause Rain, & The End of an Era from NEWSGIRLS.
Follow the show: NEWSGIRLS
In this episode, the Newsgirls get to the bottom of the far right surge in Europe and why GenZ is surprisingly a driving force. Are the extremist narratives about immigrants true or just fear-mongering?
Then Wren & Mabel shrink down to particle size and trace the trajectory of microplastics to clouds, the human brain, and dolphin breath. You’ll want to throw away your plastic forks after this one!
Finally, the Newsgirls tearfully (jk) (but not really) offer a retrospective on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. From grossing $2 billion dollars to selling out stadiums to shutting down Ticketmaster, this tour shook the world (literally and figuratively)!

0:00.0 | Today on Newsgirls, Gen Z pushes Europe far right. These far right parties aren't fringe |
0:06.7 | political groups anymore. Very extremist anti-immigrant views. We're seeing a lot of effective right-wing |
0:13.3 | messengers really resonating with younger people. Microplastic-filled clouds cause rain. |
0:18.6 | Now that there's so much plastic in the atmosphere, the average human inhales the equivalent |
0:23.4 | of a credit card of microplastics every week. |
0:26.3 | Airflow from nearby polluted cities traveled all the way to this remote mountaintop |
0:30.9 | and created microplastic-filled clouds. |
0:33.7 | And the end of an era. |
0:35.2 | Tomorrow, Taylor Swift begins her last stop of the era's tour. |
0:38.6 | And as you can tell from her shirts, we are big fans. |

0:51.4 | Far right parties are on the rise in Europe, |
0:53.2 | and surprisingly younger Gen Z voters are a big reason that these conservative parties are surging. In Germany, |
0:59.0 | 40% of Gen Z voters voted for the far right party compared to only 20% of senior voters. And in France, |
1:06.4 | the far right party is the most popular party with Gen Zs and millennials, and shockingly, only 5% of them voted |
1:12.4 | from a Crohn's party. Taking it even further in Spain, a quarter of young Spanish men between |
1:17.3 | 18 to 26 believe that authoritarianism is preferable to democracy. And this trend of Gen Z's |
1:23.1 | favoring far-right parties really came as a surprise. Earlier this year, Germany and Belgium lowered the |
