Tech bosses grilled by US politicians over child online safety

Bosses from five of the largest social media firms were grilled about how they are protecting children.

Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Executive of the owner of Facebook and Instagram finds himself under fire at the US Congress for not protecting children. Rahul Tandon finds out if this will it stop investment in tech companies? 

The US Central Bank has announced that its keeping interest rates unchanged and still at a 22 year high. But will they come down in March? 

And we hear why Universal Music Group are threatening to pull their vast music catalogue from social media app TikTok.

Rahul will be joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the world Michael Malone who's the host of the insider Podcast from California and Zyma Islam, a journalist with Bangladesh's leading English language newspaper the Daily Star.
