The US House of Representatives has passed a landmark bill that could see TikTok banned in America. It would give the social media giant's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, six months to sell its controlling stake or the app will be blocked in the US.
Also in the programme: The UN says one of its staff has been killed in southern Gaza in an apparent Israeli airstrike, and the Korean village surrounded by one million landmines.
