Could UK follow US TikTok ban?

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US Supreme Court has upheld a law that bans TikTok in the US unless its China-based parent company ByteDance sells the platform by this Sunday. We examine the impact of the looming ban with a British influencer and ask whether the UK government should follow suit. Also tonight: We have the latest from Israel where Benjamin Netanyahu's governing cabinet has yet to vote on the ceasefire deal with Hamas. In Gaza, Israeli air strikes continue. And we remember one of Scotland's greatest football talents - Denis Law who has died aged 84.
