Taliban regime in Afghanistan will ban TikTok and a popular videogame in a major clampdown on 'immoral' entertainment.A spokesperson for the Taliban said the government had instructed the Ministry of Communications to block the popular video app because it "misleads the younger generation" and "publishes immoral material and programs."Inamullah Samangani said that TikTok's "filthy content is not consistent with Islamic laws", and that the popular battle royale game PUBG: Battlegrounds will also be banned for "wasting people's time"."The ministry of communications and information technology was ordered to remove the apps from internet servers and make them inaccessible to everyone in Afghanistan," he said.

Kourtney Kardashian pregnancy rumours surfaced once again after mother and mogul Kris Jenner let slip a major clue on Kourtney and beau Travis Barker’s baby plans in the most recent episode of The Kardashians.The episode of their brand-new Hulu show, which was filmed several months ago, in which Kourtney opened up to Kris about the couple’s difficulties to get pregnant, and she explained that she had undergone IVF treatment and had found the experience challenging, so she turned to momager Kris for advice.Kris’s advice, added fuel to the pregnancy rumour fire, saying: “You both know how it feels to have a child, and how to bring a child into the world, and now you want to do it with the love of your life.”Kourtney, 43, replied: “I think we want it so badly because we want to make something together.”It was then that matriarch Kris made her bombshell prediction: “You’ll have a beautiful baby, probably a year from now we will be sitting right here and you’ll be going ‘get the baby, it’s crying!’“You’ve got to claim that.”Kourtney and her rock star fiancé, Travis, 46, have been open about their wishes to have a baby, and have been candid about the difficulties of IVF and hormonal treatments, which, heartbreakingly for Kourtney, triggered an early menopausal response.She also told of the toll that the early menopause took on her mental health, stating she struggled with depression, telling Kris: “The medication put me into a depression, I have everything in the world to be happy about.“I just feel off and not myself, I am super moody and hormonal, I am a lunatic half the time.”It appears that a little chat with her mum may have lifted Kourtney’s spirits as she took a trip to Disneyland to celebrate her birthday with her

Channel 5's Council House Swap featured more couples visiting others' council homes and attempting to swap for a more suitable property.Dave and Fran, from Christchurch in Dorset, were desperate to swap their two-bedroom council flat for a bigger property with enough room for themselves, their four children and their dog.However, the couple felt that all the council properties available are too small or too "council estatey".Currently, under a government scheme called HomeSwap Direct, tenants living in a council or housing association home are easily able to move into a property elsewhere in the country by "swapping" with the tenants in that property.Viewers were unimpressed with their approach. "This couple annoy me already," tweeted one as soon as the show started."“It’s very council estatey” probably because it is one.
