Biden announces bipartisan infrastructure deal
Biden reaches bipartisan infrastructure deal after meeting with senators
President Biden has announced he's reached a deal with senators from both parties on re-building US infrastructure. We talk to our correspondent Peter Bowes in Los Angeles. Also in the programme, we look at why Canada Goose, the maker of luxury-priced winter coats, has announced it will no longer use animal fur on its clothing. The UK government is to impose a pre-9pm ban on TV adverts for unhealthy foods. Barry Popkin is professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, and discusses the impact of restrictions already in place around the world. And we get business reaction from Jon Mew, chief executive of the Internet Advertising Bureau. Also in the programme, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Elizabeth Hotson reports from the Bigfoot craft beer and music festival, which recently took place in Warwickshire, on how festivals can emerge from coronavirus lockdowns. We are joined throughout the programme by Paddy Hirsch, the editor of NPR's daily business and economics podcast, and Jyoti Malhotra from Delhi, the National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print.
