US lawmakers passed legislation that could see popular short-video app TikTok being banned. The Chinese-owned company said it's ready for a legal fight should the ban go ahead.

Electric carmaker Tesla is slashing prices in its major markets. Young people in China are protesting poor work conditions, like low pay, long hours and bad bosses by wearing a “gross outfit for work”. It’s a reunion that could ‘spice up your life’ the iconic nineties girl group got together to celebrate Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday. And catch up with all the highlights from Coachella 2024.
