Today's Highlighted Video Story: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has extended support to 22-year-old Disha Ravi in India, who is in jail for alleged sedition and other charges for editing a "toolkit" that the police claim was used to conspire against the country over the protest by farmers against new agriculture laws. Fridays for Future (FFF), a group founded by Ms Thunberg in August 2018 when she was 15, also tweeted it would "raise our voices peacefully and respectfully for those at stake, to ensure justice for everyone."
