England lockdown restrictions ease

BBC World Service - World Business Report, England lockdown restrictions ease

Customers rush to pubs, shops and salons across England as lockdown restrictions relax.

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 the BBC’s Elizabeth Hotson who has been speaking to customers at a London pub. Also, the new President of Tanzania, signed a billion dollar crude oil pipeline deal in Uganda yesterday.  A spokesperson for the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, Gilbert Makore tells us why this is a significant deal for the two nations. Plus, the BBC’s Ivana Davidovic gives us the lowdown on Telegram, the most downloaded non-gaming app this year.
