  • JOHN YANG: Tonight on PBS News Weekendeating disorders once thought to be  

  • more prevalent among women and girls. They're  affecting more and more adolescent boys. Then,  

  • what the Biden administration is doing  to tackle those hidden fees that hit  

  • low income families the hardest, and  the often misunderstood legacy of the  

  • Black Panther Party and its influence  on today's struggle for civil rights.

  • WOMAN: I think the greatest  legacy was a youth movement,  

  • a young organization composed mainly of  people in their late teens and early 20s,  

  • a new type of organization and youth movement  that was focused on serving the community.

  • (BREAK)

  • JOHN YANG: Good evening. I'm John Yangas Israel's bombardment of Gaza goes on  

  • unabated. The World Health Organization says the  

  • main hospital in southern Gaza is no longer  functional after an Israeli raid last week,  

  • and a post on X the head of the W.H.O. said  200 patients who remain in Nasser hospital  

  • in Khan Youunis. The Hamas Ron Gaza health  ministry says only 25 medical staff remain.

  • Israel says last week's raid was to  look for the remains of hostages that  

  • they arrested more than 100 who they  say are suspected militants. Today's  

  • airstrikes killed at least 18 people 11 of  them in Rafah Han Eunice including children.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  brushed aside international concerns about  

  • a planned ground assault on Rafah saying that  those in harm's way would be evacuated. But  

  • many of the 1 million or so Gazans who've taken  refuge and Rafah say there's no place left to go.

  • MHEDI CHBEIR, Gaza Resident (through translator):  We will not go out of Rafah. We will die in our  

  • country here. Where should we go? We have  nowhere our homes in Khan Younis are gone.  

  • Everything we own from money to possessions  are gone. Any sustenance we got is gone.

  • JOHN YANG: Tomorrow the International Court  of Justice opens hearings on the legality of  

  • Israel's 57-year occupation of Gaza and the West  Bank both captured in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

  • Two police officers and a paramedic are dead  after an early morning shooting in Burnsville,  

  • Minnesota. It's a well to do suburb  of Minneapolis. The Minnesota Police  

  • Association says the suspect is also dead. The  association said seven children are inside the  

  • home and that the suspect negotiated with police  for four hours before SWAT officers entered.

  • City officials identified the victims as  officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge  

  • and paramedic Finseth. Minnesota Governor  Tim Walz said they were responding to a call  

  • about a family in danger and that  other officers were also injured.

  • A senior Pakistani official has admitted  that he helped rig election results in his  

  • city that deepens the political turmoil  surrounding the tumultuous and indecisive  

  • national elections earlier this monthThis weekend thousands of supporters  

  • of jailed former Prime Minister  Imran Khan took to the streets.

  • The official's admission seems to give weight  to accusations that the military tampered with  

  • the vote count. The official resigned and the  election commission said it would investigate.

  • And at the NBA All Star Weekend in IndianapolisGolden State Warriors star Steph Curry narrowly  

  • New York Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu in the  first ever NBA-WNBA three point contest.

  • Ionescu shot from the men's three point line  which is about 12 to 18 inches beyond the WNBA  

  • line. Curry had to rally a bit at the end to  edge Ionescu by what else three points. The  

  • real winners though are the charities  the players chose to get $25,000 each.

  • Still to come on PBS News Weekend. Junk feesThose charges millions of Americans are hit  

  • with every year and the often hidden  history of the Black Panther Party.

  • (BREAK)

  • JOHN YANG: For years, eating disorders were  thought to be a condition predominantly affecting  

  • women and girls. But it's estimated that one in  three people with an eating disorder is male,  

  • and that 10 million American males will  struggle with it at some point in their lives.

  • Dr. Jason Nagata is a pediatrician specializing in  eating disorders at the University of California  

  • San Francisco. He's also editor of the  book eating disorders in boys and men.

  • Dr. Nagata, do eating disorders look  different in boys than in girls?

  • DR. JASON NAGATA, University of CaliforniaSan Francisco: Yes, absolutely. The masculine  

  • body ideal is big and muscular. And that  can lead to muscle building behaviors,  

  • like access to exercise, restriction of carbon  and fats whilst over consuming protein and  

  • use of muscle building supplements  and drugs like anabolic steroids.

  • When taken to the extreme, this can lead  to muscle dysmorphia, also known as reverse  

  • anorexia or bigorexia. And this is when  somebody pathologically becomes obsessed  

  • with the idea that their body is too puny or  scrawny, and they need to become more muscular.

  • JOHN YANG: What does over exercise, too much  

  • protein not enough carbohydratesWhat does that do to the body?

  • JASON NAGATA: In simple terms, we need to  maintain an energy balance. So whatever  

  • energy we're burning through physical activity or  exercise, we need to take in and up for nutrition.  

  • I think it's pretty well recognized that when  people restrict their eating, like if they're  

  • skipping meals, or really eating a small amount  of calories, that can lead to energy deficit.

  • But I think it's relatively under recognized  that if people are exercising a lot,  

  • but not increasing their nutrition that  can also lead to energy deficits. And this  

  • is what we see in many of the boy athletes who  develop eating disorders that we take care of.

  • JOHN YANG: We're hearing much more about eating  disorders and boys. Is it because there are more  

  • males with eating disorders? Or is it just  being recognized more and diagnosed more?

  • JASON NAGATA: I think it's a little bit of bothThe boys have more pressures for muscularity  

  • now more than ever. Halloween (ph) superheroes  have become more muscular than in past decade,  

  • boys action figures are more muscularAnd with the advent of social media,  

  • boys' bodies are on display more than ever.

  • And there are all these studies that  have shown that more engagement with  

  • social media is linked with disordered eating,  

  • muscle dissatisfaction, and even steroid  use, particularly among teenage boys.

  • I think the last factor is that  the COVID-19 pandemic really led  

  • to an explosion of eating disorders among  teenagers across the board including boys,  

  • too, due to a perfect storm of social anxiety,  

  • isolation, disruption of activities in  school, and then a rise in screen time.

  • JOHN YANG: Are the treatments for  males the same as the treatment  

  • for females? Or do you have to come up  with new techniques, new approaches?

  • JASON NAGATA: Well, unfortunately, most of the  research has been based on female, not male.  

  • And so we don't have really great guidanceAnd in fact, previously, lots of periods with  

  • the criteria for anorexia nervosa, and so it's  actually been hard to diagnose boys because some  

  • of the diagnostic criteria actually don't reflect  some of the experiences that they're facing.

  • One of the first patients that I took care of  as a student was a 16-year-old male wrestler,  

  • who had actually been struggling  for years with an eating disorder  

  • before anyone recognized it as an eating disorder.

  • By the time that we saw him, he was  obsessed with his weight. He was  

  • checking his weight 10 times a day. He  was working out for seven hours a day,  

  • and he would only eat protein  supplements, nothing else.

  • And so unfortunately, he had gotten toseverely malnourished state and actually  

  • had to be hospitalized. And I remember at the  time trying to student, trying to read up about  

  • guidelines and how to best help him. Butthink that is all based on female samples.

  • JOHN YANG: What do you tell parentsguardians or anyone who's got a young  

  • male that care about their lives? What  are the signs they should look for?

  • JASON NAGATA: You know, muscle building  goals are pretty common in teenage boys,  

  • a third of teenage boys report that  they're trying to bulk up or gain weight,  

  • and not all of them will  develop an eating disorder.

  • However, warning signs for an eating disorder  occur when a boy develops the preoccupation  

  • or obsession with food, exercise, appearance  or weight in a way that impairs their school  

  • or daily functioning, and also starts  to really worsen their quality of life.

  • So for instance, some of the boys  have eating disorders that I care for,  

  • spend five plus hours in the gym. And  if they aren't in the gym all day,  

  • they feel guilty about it. They won't be able  to eat out with family or friends because they  

  • perceive restaurant food or home cooked food to  be insufficient and protein or more to daddy.

  • And so when it really gets to a point where  it's impairing your social functioning or work,  

  • school functioning, that's I think  when it borders into a disorder.

  • JOHN YANG: If parents spot these  signs, what should they do to help?

  • JASON NAGATA: I think a good first  step is to talk with your primary  

  • care pediatrician who can help to getreferral to an eating disorder specialist,  

  • a mental health provider and a nutrition  provider that helps support your child.

  • JOHN YANG: Dr. Jason Nagata of the University of  California San Francisco, thank you very much.

  • JOHN NATAGA: Thank you for having me.

  • JOHN YANG: The Biden administration has proposed  new regulations that take aim at junk fees,  

  • those hidden or misleading charges that boost the  cost of things like concert tickets, hotel rooms,  

  • even bank accounts by tens of billion dollars  a year. Ali Rogin Rogan has the details.

  • ALI ROGIN: $8 billion, that's how much  money the nation's biggest banks take  

  • in roughly every year in overdraft  fees. The average dollar amount for  

  • overdrawing a bank account has come  down in recent years. But in 2023,  

  • the average fee was still more than $26. And those  with the least ability to pay are the hardest hit.

  • In 2023, 34 percent of households making less than  

  • $65,000 a year were charged with an  overdraft or insufficient funds fee.

  • Cora Lewis is a business reporter  for the Associated Press Corps.  

  • Thank you for joining us. How is the Biden  administration looking to tackle these fees?

  • CORA LEWIS: The Associated Press: The Biden  administration is really using the Consumer  

  • Financial Protection Bureau to take aim at  these fees, as well as the Federal Trade  

  • Commission. But when it comes to overdraft  fees, they're trying to use new rules and  

  • regulations to limit the amount that banks  can charge consumers when they overdraft.

  • What they're proposing is a new rule that would  require banks to show what their costs are to  

  • consumers when they enact these fees. Banks really  aren't interested in doing that. So the CFPB is  

  • giving them an alternative, which is to lower the  fees to as little as $3, but possibly six, seven  

  • or $14 as benchmark fees, which are still muchmuch lower than the fees as they currently stand.

  • ALI ROGIN: And why is the Biden  administration taking on junk  

  • fees writ large right now? Why is this the  moment that they've decided to do all this?

  • CORA LEWIS: I think right now, a lot  of the pandemic era stimulus is ending,  

  • inflation has been high for a whilepeople are relying on credit cards.  

  • The average consumer is really  feeling the pinch and has spent  

  • down their savings and junk fees really  hit households who can least afford them.

  • Overdraft fees typically hit consumers who  have less than $500 in a checking account.  

  • And oftentimes the same households  that experience overdraft fees will  

  • experience them multiple times  per year. They might be living  

  • paycheck to paycheck or relying on  Social Security or other benefits.

  • So $35, when you're already really working  hard to budget is a significant amount.

  • ALI ROGIN: Absolutely. Now, you pointed out  some really good reasons why this would be  

  • happening now the pandemic among them. But of  course, these fees have been around since the  

  • 1990s. Why have they been allowed to continue  and to get so much bigger over so much time?

  • CORA LEWIS: Yeah, it's really been an  insidious growth and they have come  

  • down in recent years Bank of America  in particular has reduced their fees.  

  • I think partly because the banks were  taking a reputational hit. And they were  

  • finding it harder and harder to justify  these increasingly punitive fees. But  

  • regulation seems to be needed to bring them  even more in line with what's reasonable.

  • ALI ROGIN: So now, what are  banks saying about this?

  • CORA LEWIS: Well, the banks in recent years have  started making huge amounts of money off of these  

  • fees. And so as you can imagine, there's a strong  lobbying effort against the proposed regulations.  

  • And some smaller banks like credit unionsand community banks, in particular rely very  

  • heavily on these fees and are not interested  in them being reined in by the White House.

  • ALI ROGIN: Yeah, and that seems to be  one of the lines that you hear a lot of  

  • saying this could really detrimentally  affect community banks, credit unions,  

  • banks that support the militarySo, how is that lending on the other  

  • Aside of the issue among the people  that want to get rid of these fees?

  • CORA LEWIS: I would say that consumer advocates  would argue that if you are relying on these fees  

  • to run your bank and to support your business  model, then you're not operating as a bank,  

  • you're really operating as a lender, and  you're making these small loans with extremely  

  • exorbitant rates. And you should be regulated  as a lender in that case and not as a bank.

  • ALI ROGIN: And of course, these new  rules are going into effect through  

  • the CFPB through the administration not going  

  • through Congress. How easily could they  be undone by subsequent administration?

  • CORA LEWIS: That's, I believe, also a hope of the  banking industry is that a Republican president  

  • or a Republican Congress could really undo these  regulations, and that if they stall long enough,  

  • or if there's a different administrationthey could be undone very easily.

  • ALI ROGIN: Cora Lewis, who's covering  this issue for the Associated Press,  

  • thank you so much for breaking it down.

  • CORA LEWIS: Thanks for having me.

  • JOHN YANG: In the 1960s, civil  rights movement, some concluded  

  • that non-violence and the focus on integration  had failed. Rather than integrating society,  

  • they wanted to fundamentally change  it, and they didn't renounce violence  

  • and self-defense. Their cry was Black  Power, rather than we shall overcome.

  • One of the most prominent of these groups  was the Black Panther Party. It was also  

  • perhaps one of the most misunderstood and  most vilified by the white establishment  

  • for Black History Month. That's the  topic of tonight's Hidden Histories.

  • JOHN YANG (voice-over): The Black Panther Party  was revolutionary and both its goals and its  

  • tactics. It began in 1966. In response to both the  assassination of Malcolm X, a leading advocate of  

  • black separatism, and the killing of an unarmed  black 16-year-old named Matthew Johnson during  

  • a San Francisco police stop. Founders Bobby Seale  and Huey Newton were college students at the time.

  • HUEY P. NEWTON, Co-Founder, Black Panther  Party: We have a Black Panther Party. As  

  • long as the evil Tetra and corrupt officials,  

  • as long as the oppressor makes the laws  the people are not bound to respect them,  

  • we are bound to transform society and erect  a system where people will receive justice.

  • JOHN YANG (voice-over): Their 10  Point program leaned heavily on  

  • Marxism. They saw black American struggles  as part of a global liberation movement.

  • HUEY NEWTON: In America, Black people  are treated very much as the Vietnamese  

  • people are any other colonized people  because where you were brutalized,  

  • the police in our community occupy our area our  community as a foreign troop occupies territory.

  • JOHN YANG (voice-over): They provided  community services called Survival  

  • Programs to promote self-determination, free  food, especially breakfast for schoolchildren,  

  • free health care and voter registration drivesThey established schools in nine cities.

  • MAN: I cannot stand you these oppressor  foreign troops in our community.

  • JOHN YANG (voice-over): Women made up roughly  half of the Panther membership of about 2,000,  

  • and they often held leadership  roles. From 1974 until 1977,  

  • Elaine Brown was the head of the  National Party, but it was the  

  • group's paramilitary displays that drew the  white establishments, attention and alarm.

  • Members patrolled neighborhoods  and black jackets and black berets,  

  • openly and legally carrying weaponsFor many white Americans, a photo of  

  • stern looking Newton holding a rifle andspear became their image of Black Panthers.

  • FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party the  

  • greatest threat to internal security in  ordered surveillance to expose, disrupt,  

  • misdirect, discredit, or otherwise  neutralize the Black Panthers.

  • Tensions with local police led to deadly  clashes. In Chicago a police raid killed  

  • rising party star Fred Hampton and party member  Mark Clark. In 1982, the federal government paid  

  • $1.8 million to settle a lawsuit alleging  that the FBI had a role in the Chicago raid.

  • Plagued by internal disputes and power  struggles the party was essentially  

  • defunct by the late 1970s. It  was formally disbanded in 1982.

  • But many see parts of its legacy living on  today in groups like Black Lives Matter.

  • JOHN YANG: Party members are among the first  to openly challenged police violence often  

  • converging on the scene when officers  stopped young black men on the streets.

  • Donna Murch is an associate professor of history  at Rutgers University and the author of "Living  

  • For The City, Migration, Education and the Rise of  the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California."

  • Donna, from your perspective, what is the  greatest legacy of the Black Panther Party?

  • DONNA MURCH, Author, "Living For The City": I  think the greatest legacy was a youth movement,  

  • a young organization composed mainly of  people in their late teens and early 20s  

  • working class youth that had migrated  from the south, who found themselves  

  • having unprecedented access to high  school and college in California.

  • And out of that, they helped form a study  group and create a new type of organization  

  • and youth movement that was focused on  serving the community. It started with  

  • confronting police violence, because that's what  the community saw as its single biggest problem.

  • This is the era of the urban rebellions, you knowthe party is formed a year after Watts, and they  

  • were willing to perform a form of activism  in order to empower others. But very quickly,  

  • after the police patrols, the Panthers shifted  into something called Survival Pending Revolution,  

  • which meant founding free breakfast programsFreedom Schools, and the longest running  

  • institution of the Black Panther Party wasschool in Oakland that ran for almost a decade.

  • JOHN YANG: Can you put the Black Panther  Party in sort of the context of the civil  

  • rights movement of where they stood, what role the  organization filled what their contributions were?

  • DONNA MURCH: I think one of the best  ways to understand the Panther Party  

  • is to think about the Black Freedom  Movement, as having a large geography  

  • and time period. So the party is formed year  after the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

  • But you know, the dismantling of legal segregation  in the South did not dismantle the problems of  

  • economics, and access in the north and in the  West. And one of the central issues about this  

  • was both police violence, and people not having  equal access to the social welfare state.

  • So, I would describe the Panthers as  emerging in this moment, post-civil  

  • rights after the accomplishments of the  civil rights movement of the successful  

  • passage of the Civil Rights Actand also the Voting Rights Act.

  • But I would be remiss to not talk about the global  link to the Panthers. They're formed in 1966. And  

  • this is after over a decade of decolonization of  African countries winning their independence. And  

  • also very importantly, they look to Asia. The  Panthers are formed in Northern California,  

  • and they were adamant in their opposition  to the Vietnam War and American imperialism.

  • They identified with the Vietnamesethe Viet Men and with Hoochie Men,  

  • and they actually looked a lot to Vietnam, to  China, and to a vision of anti-colonialism and  

  • a socialist state that would serve the people. So,  I think that's one of the most important contexts.

  • The other thing I really want to stress  because the popular representations of  

  • the Panthers is wrong. So many people find  out about the Panthers through Forrest Gump,  

  • they're represented as anti-white black militants.

  • But the truth is, is that the party of  all the 60s organizations, they had the  

  • strongest ties to creating a multiracial  coalition, what was called in this period,  

  • the rainbow coalition that Jesse Jackson  later picks up on. So they united with  

  • white radical youth who they called Mother  Country Radicals to oppose the Vietnam War.

  • And this was incredibly threatening to  the government of the time, you know,  

  • to J. Edgar Hoover in particular, because  you basically saw multiracial coalition  

  • uniting to stop anti-communism and violence  in the global south. So I think that would  

  • also be the Panthers legacy, a model  of multiracial coalition building.

  • JOHN YANG: You mentioned the free breakfast  program that they ran in communities,  

  • which is not that far, apart from  the federal free breakfast program  

  • that's being run now. But there was also  a political vision. And that wasn't there.

  • DONNA MURCH: Yes, that's such an important  point. They were arguing that the social  

  • welfare state as it existed was not serving the  people and that they as teenagers could provide  

  • free breakfast. And when they started  their freedom schools, so many of the  

  • low income children who went to Panther schools  had not had breakfast, and they couldn't learn.

  • And so they were shaming the stateAnd although we don't have the direct  

  • documentary evidence, it is  thought by many scholars,  

  • that that shaming of the state prompted  the issuing of free school lunch.

  • JOHN YANG: Are there groups today that  you see as direct descendants of the  

  • Black Panther Party that can draw  a direct line from them to today?

  • DONNA MURCH: Yeah, I would say, you knowmy first book was about the party's Genesis  

  • in Oakland. It's called Living For The CityBut my second book is about the last 10 years,  

  • and it's about the Black Lives Matter  movement and why they chose Assata Shakur,  

  • who was a rank and file Panther  member from New York City.

  • So she's not from Oakland, where the  Panthers were formed. She's from New York,  

  • and she wasn't part of the traditional  male leadership, and especially over  

  • the last 10 years in the fight against state  violence and murder and mass incarceration,  

  • Assata has become the best known of the  Panthers. And it's from a poem that she  

  • wrote in Cuba in the 1980s that so many of these  movement organizations opened their meetings.

  • It is our duty to fight for our  freedom. It is our duty to win.  

  • We must love and protect one anotherWe have nothing to lose but our chains.

  • JOHN YANG: Donna Murch of Rutgers  University. Thank you very much.

  • DONNA MURCH: Thank you. It's truly my pleasure.

  • JOHN YANG: And that is PBS News Weekend  for this Sunday. I'm John Yang. For all  

  • of my colleagues, thanks for  joining us. Have a good week.
