The potential ban of TikTok in the United States is set to be the focus of a House hearing Thursday featuring testimony from the company's CEO.

TikTok is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. Scrutiny over TikTok’s relationship with Beijing put the company in the crosshairs during the Trump administration and the Biden administration.

Now, some lawmakers in the U.S., including the Biden administration, are demanding that the app be sold or banned.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is set to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, his first appearance before a Congressional committee.

Kremlin says staff of some govt departments are subject to foreign travel bans
The Kremlin said on Friday that staff in some government departments were banned from travelling abroad for security reasons, while some departments required people to provide advance notification of any foreign travel plans. Reuters reported on Thursday that Russia was making overseas travel harder for some officials due to fears that foreign powers may try to gain access to state secrets during the worst crisis in relations with the West for more than 60 years. "All organisations have nuances when it comes to the current regime of approving trips abroad," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a daily call with reporters.

Simon Boccanegra, Bridgewater Hall, review: the Hallé deliver a thrilling evening of Verdi
Doom and gloom in 14th-century Genoa, painted in monochromatic colours by a composer whose resulting opera was a total failure: this is hardly obvious material for a celebration. But as a highlight of his final season as music director of Hallé in Manchester, Mark Elder chose to revive the first 1857 version of Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra, and the result was a triumph with a standing ovation, and a vindication of Elder’s advocacy of this problematic piece.
