The EU gets tough with TikTok

Description:

With TikTok being told by the EU to change what it believes is an 'addictive design' or face fines, we speak to cyber-psychologist Dr Sarah Hodge, and France's ambassador for digital affairs and AI, Clara Chappaz, on whether the continent is set to follow Australia's lead and ban children below the 16-years-old from using social media.

Will Grant reports on the latest as the critical fuel crisis in Cuba worsens and Havana's fuel pumps run dry.

Elsewhere, we look to Japan as the nation heads to the polls this weekend, and Ed Butler hears from Professor Maria Rodas on what it takes to make the perfect Superbowl commercial.

Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Europe, Latin America and the USA.
