The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A French mother who's suing TikTok for exposing her daughter to harmful content tells us she blames the social media giant for causing the teenager to take her own life. As Australia moves to ban under-16s from social media, we ask if other countries will follow. Also tonight: After Donald Trump's nomination of the vaccine sceptic Robert F Kennedy Junior to lead the US Department of Health - we look at the links between him and the discredited British anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield. And Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective who tonight have become the first jazz musicians to headline Wembley Arena.
