India bans TikTok and WeChat

The ban follows an incident on the Chinese Indian border in the Ladakh region in June, that left at least 20 Indian troops dead.

The country's technology ministry said the apps are "prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order". We talk to Tanvi Madan, senior fellow and director of the India Project at the Brookings Institution. Meanwhile, Boeing's controversial and ill-starred 737 Max may soon see its ban on flying lifted.
