Swiss confectioner Nestle is ending ties with Fairtrade for KitKats in the UK and Ireland

Swiss confectioner Nestle is ending its relationship with the Fairtrade ethical trading initiative for its biggest selling KitKat bars in the UK. It will use its own sustainability programme from now on, and Michael Gidney, chief executive of the Fairtrade Foundation gives us his reaction to the news. Also in the programme, it has been announced that pubs, hotels and restaurants can reopen in the UK on July 4th. Sarah Weir is managing director of Albion and East, which runs four bar-restaurants in London, and tells us about their plans. We have a report from Mexico examining the economic impact that coronavirus has had on the country. Plus, with the ending of lockdown in Italy, some pet owners are concerned about the welfare of their animals as they return to work. Annalisa Voccia of the University of Verona explains why they’ve decided to let dog and cat owners bring their pets to work.
