Music videos on YouTube and Vevo will get cinema-style age ratings from today.

The age ratings aim to protect children from unsuitable content.

They will be decided by the British Board of Film Classification - the same organisation that decides film ratings in the UK.

The ratings will only apply to videos released online in the UK made by Sony, Universal and Warner.
