Apple has been charged with breaking EU competition rules over how it runs its App Store.

Apple has been charged with breaking EU competition rules over how it runs its App Store. It relates in part to a complaint brought two years ago by music streaming service Spotify, as Isobel Asher Hamilton of business website, Insider, explains. Also in the programme, the Eurozone has slipped back into recession, after recording two consecutive quarterly declines in economic activity. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Andrew Walker brings us the latest picture across Europe, and we also talk to Josh Fontaine, who runs three bars and restaurants in Paris, as France sets out a timeline for reopening. Plus, men seem increasingly to be seeking cosmetic treatments during the pandemic. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Ed Butler finds out why, and tries a wrinkle-smoothing procedure for himself.
