Microsoft has said that its offer to buy the US operations of hugely popular video-sharing app TikTok has been rejected, paving the way for Oracle to make a last-minute bid.

The Trump administration claims TikTok and other Chinese apps are national security threats.
Microsoft and Oracle led the race to buy TikTok from Chinese firm ByteDance.
