screens
at all,
Sweden
told parents on Monday. Children under the age of two should be kept away from
digital media
and
TV
completely, the country's
Public Health Agency
said. Kids between the ages of two and five should be limited to a maximum of one hour of screen time a day, it said in new recommendations, while those aged six to 12 should spend no more than an hour or two a day in front of a screen.
Teenagers aged 13 to 18 should be limited to two to three hours per day, the agency said. Public health minister Jakob Forssmed said Swedish teens aged 13 to 16 spend six and a half hours a day on average in front of their screens, outside of school hours. He said that didn't leave "a lot of time for communal activities, physical activity or adequate sleep", and lamented a Swedish "
sleep crisis
" noting that more than half of 15-year-olds did not get enough sleep.
Titanic expedition yields a lost bronze statue
RMS Titanic, a Georgia-based company that holds the legal rights to the 112-year-old underwater wreck, has completed its first trip to the site since 2010 and released images from the expedition on Monday. A highlight was the rediscovery of the bronze statue "Diana of Versaille", last seen in 1986, the company said. On a sadder note, a significant section of the railing that surrounds the ship bow's forecastle deck has fallen, it said. The railing still stood as recently as 2022.
