The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Samira Hussain tells us this is cause for optimism that an end to lockdown restrictions is in sight.The food delivery firm Deliveroo plans a London listing expected to value it at $7bn. We consider the long-term future of the food delivery model once coronavirus restrictions are lifted with Peter Backman, a consultant in the restaurant sector. We learn about the introduction of Vietnam's first private defined contribution pension scheme and hear about the importance of the pep talk in getting us through the pandemic and we have an extended report about the challenges faced by three women around the world for International Women's Day.
