England lockdown restrictions ease

Non-essential shops reopen in England today following a third lockdown, which began in January.

Pubs, restaurants, beauty salons and non-essential shops reopened today with the easing of lockdown restrictions across England. We hear from the heart of London’s shopping district and from a pub garden near Reading.
Also in the programme, the new President of Tanzania has signed a billion dollar crude oil pipeline deal in Uganda. Gilbert Makore of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative tells us why this is a significant deal for the two nations.
Plus, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Ivana Davidovic gives us the lowdown on Telegram, the messaging app - and the most downloaded non-gaming app this year.
