TikTok’s UK song of the year revealed | BBC News

Published

on



Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand has been named as the UK’s TikTok song of the year thanks to the viral ‘nothing beats a Jet2holiday’ trend.

The 2015 hit has become associated with adverts for the holiday company over the years, but it gained a new life when TikTok users began using the audio to make a joke out of their holiday fails, travelling chaos and mishaps.

After claiming the title of TikTok’s UK and global song of the summer earlier this year, the track has gone on to soundtrack about 6.6 million videos on the platform, according to TikTok.

The British singer originally released the song more than a decade ago and it became her first single to top the charts.

Trump: US has seized Iranian cargo ship on eve of peace talks | BBC News

Published

on



The US has intercepted and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship attempting to get past its blockade of Iran’s ports, according to US President Donald Trump.

He said the ship was given “fair warning to stop” in the Gulf of Oman but refused, so the navy “stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room”.

Earlier it was confirmed that a US delegation led by the Vice President JD Vance will be In Pakistan for a new round of peace talks with Iran. However Iran has not confirmed that it will be participating in the talks.

Trump has again threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges if they do not reach a deal with the US, including reopening the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Lyse Doucet in Iran and Simi Jolaoso in Washington.
