What鈥檚 happening to music on TikTok?

And Paul Pogba鈥檚 football ban for doping explained.

If you鈥檝e made a TikTok recently, you might not have been able to add your favourite artist鈥檚 music. That鈥檚 because Universal, a massive record label that represents a third of all music in the world, won鈥檛 let TikTok use music by any of its signed artists - or songs that were written by any of its artists either. It鈥檚 part of a huge dispute that鈥檚 been going on in the music industry. We break this down with 麻豆社 Radio 1 presenter Maia Beth and producer and music journalist Siobh谩n McAndrew. Who鈥檚 going to lose out? And can Tiktok survive without all that music?

Plus former Manchester United midfielder and World Cup winner Paul Pogba has been banned by Italy鈥檚 national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) from playing football for four years for a doping offence. 麻豆社 Sport Africa鈥檚 Kelvin Kimathi tells us all about it.
