YouTube boss: We’ll lift Trump ban if violence threat falls

After the deadly Capitol Hill riot on January 6th, the former President’s account was suspended for violating YouTube’s incitement of violence policy. Plus, scientists investigate a new coronavirus variant detected in 16 people in the UK, nine great apes at San Diego Zoo are vaccinated against Covid-19, and rockets, high-altitude balloons, and spaceplanes could set off from UK soil in just a few years.
