It hit a fever pitch in 2022 thats when ticketmasters website crashed over overwhelming demand for Presale Tickets to taylor swifts tour.

The government said this company the merger of two former rivals in 2010 that have grown to to be behemothbehemoth. On every kind of leg of this stool live nation is in charge, right, and the government saying thats an illegal monopoly, so managing the artists, promoting the live events and it became apparent in that eras debacle when so many people didnt have another choice, also inside this lawsuit, retaliating against potential competitors, threatening venues that work with rivals, locking out the competition, blocking venues from using multiple ticketers and then restricting artists access to venues. I just got off the phone from a Young Musician she doesnt have a choice, shes taylor swift fan, couldnt get them from tickets but as a musician she couldnt go and make a deal with venue.

According to multiple officials familiar with the negotiations the white house is finalizing details of a new executive action, it would let the president temporarily shut down the southern border to migrants if necessary. Nbc news Congressional Correspondent julie 2shs sirkin, how exactly would this plan work and what are the roadblocks right now that it needs to pass before going into effect in. Reporter yeah, there are a lot of roadblocks of course one that could come up on the other side of this executive action. A series of executive actions when it comes to the border. The biggest critical part of this is for mexico to work in tandem with the u. S. , with the Biden Administration, our sources tell us thats one of the big reasons until after the president ial elections in mexico, after june 2nd to do Something Like this, you mentioned one of those biggest authorities, would be President Biden actually using his authority, known as 212f code of the law to turn away certain groups of migrants to bring down some of those illegal border crossings and an effort for democrats to reclaim the narrative here. Julie, i wonder, on capitol hill, there was that bipartisan effort that fell apart, whats the read there about what the president s doing . Reporter this afternoon, the Senate Democrats of course they forced a vote to try and pass again that bipartisan border bill that was negotiated and blocked by republicans months ago, it was blocked by republicans again this afternoon.

Now theyre saying this is bandaid, piecemeal, not enough when clearly before for the border bill that effort was shut down by former President Trump who said it should be an Election Year issue and Voters Decide on at the ballot box. Democrats trying to capitalize that republicans blocked that very conservative piece of legislation and republicans pushing back, continuing to say the Biden Administration could have done more earlier and its too little too late.

This has been the longest it has ever been in about ten years. Reporter today, chemicals in hairstraightening products are under increased scrutiny. An nbc news investigation finds the companies that produce these relaxers are targeting africa. Many Companies Find africa to be a big challenge, but in these challenges we saw tremendous opportunities. The problem with, you know, these Companies Expanding or manufacturing their products in africa means that they are able to evade a lot of the regulations thats available in the u. S. Or europe. Reporter the codirector of level up, a feminist organization that has advocated against the manufacturers of relaxers globally. Multiple studies finding associations between chemicals in relaxers and cancer. Just a few african countries have warned against the dangers of these chemicals. But most on the continent have yet to regulate them. It means that consumers most likely are actually unaware of the effects of these hair relaxers. We dont expect that theyll expose us to harm for profits. Reporter Companies Expanding into africa. Including godrej. Boasting a strong foothold on the continent.

Still ahead, a new study finds that adhd cases have risen considerably in the United States especially among kids, what all parents need to know in todays Mental Health check the centers for Disease Control and prevention is out with a new report that finds did adhd is on the rise in children between the ageses of 3 and 17. The report finds about 1 in 9 u. S. Children have been diagnosed with adhd and theyre calling it quote an expanding Public Health concern. Joining us now is dr. Robi ludwig. Researchers found in 2022 about 7 million u. S. Kids and teens were diagnosed with adhd, a million more children than back in 2016, do we know the reason for this increase in. Well, they think that more people are aware, so educators are aware, parents are aware, physicians are aware, and that can increase the number, sometimes there are coexisting issues like depression, anxiety and autism as well, they also expanded how its defined, adhd, it inclued more inattentive symptoms, its like a combination of all of these factors. I have a question that might be a little delicate, we have reported at nbc on the rise of parents actually seeking an adhd diagnosis for their kids mostly because theyre taking time when getting ready for college. Are there some of these cases where parents are really pushing for the diagnosis . Well, still you have to go through a psychiatrist or a physician and hopefully they would not give a false diagnosis, it still has to be accurate, but i do think that theres no consensus, theres no diagnostic kind of universal way to test adhd and that also can be contributing to some of the overdiagnosis perhaps. To that end, what are the common symptoms, signs of adhd, any groups demographics that tend to get underdiagnosed. So interesting. First of all if youre going to your doctor on a regular basis and youre in school i think that can really help in terms of getting the right diagnosis. Fidgety, talk a lot, make simple mistakes, not be aware of certain dangers, these are all, you know, factors that contribute to adhd. What treatments exist . Ive been through this with my kids. What do you do . So theres medication treatment and a lot of it is stimulates and they have nonstimulants as an option as well. Important to include cognitive behavior as well. Cognitive is your thoughts, what are your thoughts and how you can bring yourself back to where you need to be. You mentioned medications, im mindful for the last two years a lot of reporting around the fact that adhd medications have been in short supply, the fda said the shortage has been resolved but many patients are still struggling to get access to it. Are there alternatives . There are alternatives that psychiatrists are using. But it was a real problem for a while especially after the pandemic, so hopefully thats being resolved and also with behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy all of those treatments can be helpful in getting a child on the right track. I think sometimes people think it has to be medication. It doesnt have to be all medication. It should be a combination of whatever works. Dr. Robi ludwig, thank you so much. Theres much more news ahead. Dont go anywhere, youre dont go anywhere, youre watc h bounce back fast from heartburn with new tums gummy bites, and love food back.
