What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The UK government announced plans requiring online video giants like YouTube and TikTok to make it easy to discover content from public service media outlets, including ITV and Channel 4. This policy was met with exception from the Donald Trump administration, which argued the plan amounted to 'extraterritorial censorship of protected speech by Americans online'. Separately, ITV adjusted the schedule of its breakfast show, This Morning, to finish earlier to accommodate an ITV News special introducing Andy Burnham as Prime Minister following his success over Keir Starmer.
